This is going to drag on, thought it was much closer to be honest. Has the feeling of Vidal/Ramos all over it. We want the player, but it is very complicated to do the transfer because the owning club doesn't want to sell and the player himself is not 100% set on the move either.

I think it is POGOFF for now
 
Off topic slightly and separate from Pogba, does anybody think we might hear something United transfer related this week? Last full week of the transfer window without a tour, match etc.
 
Just posturing I think. Good thing is Mourinho probably won't let this turn into a saga and will move on to other targets quickly if necessary.
 
It very much feels like Ramos last year. If Juve don't lower the price for Madrid, it seems likely he'll just renew for a big new deal with them. I think that, if he's really so unsure about coming here, we should avoid him anyway and shop elsewhere. Don't want to see us selling him to Madrid/Barca/PSG next year for £50m.....
 


West Ham sign Gokhan Tore from Besiktas on a season long-loan with an option to buy.
 
But for a broken fax machine, we'd have had a swap deal last season. Rare that clubs the scale of United want rid of a player that the buying club can use, but it can happen. Mata makes perfect sense for a Serie A side. He'd be a player of the season candidate there.

I seriously can't remember this - who did we have a swap deal with last season? (Unless you mean rojo-nani)
 
We have Schneiderlin to play the deeper role, we have Schweinsteiger to play that role too. Both of these players are far more capable than what they had shown under LVG. Pogba is a far bigger necessity than a Carrick replacement.
One player hasn't settled yet and still has a lot to prove to be a starter for a deeper role which is really important for a Jose team. Also, Schweini is forever crocked and can't be relied on to play 90 minutes for 30+ matches in a season. If not this year, then next year a better and younger player is an absolute necessity. I agree that the ball carrier and connector role is also very important as we lack imagination and creativity in that role currently, but the priority is the first one I believe.

It will be extremely difficult to get results against top clubs without a Carrick type player who is good at what he does.

But we still have Carrick, we don't have a midifeld creater. Let's not forgot how good Schneiderlin was when he signed him, at Southampton he comfortably had the best defensive stats in the league. Combine that with Schweinsteiger and we have 3 players available in play that one spot. Creativity is our biggest issue.
 
What's the point of signing 39 years old goalkeeper?

Surely they have some talented young GK in their academy.

It's not like he is going to play when they have Mignolet and Karius..
 
Potential to become the best player in the world .

With the NFL facilities at the new stadium. these Spurs youngsters will have a massive advantage over other clubs in terms of their physical development.

We will go for another target if it does. Mourinho said he won't wait until late in August to get his 4th singing.
