Covered only in numbers, two of those players are on there last legs and one of them is simply average. You can throw in Herrera and Fellaini as well. One of our biggest problems the last 5 or 6 years, even further back tbh is that we have had a lot of central midfielders and not one of them has been quality. Carrick is still our best central midfielder performance wise. I think Fosu Mensah may be the answer long term. Our problems are virtually all over the pitch considering our performances the last 3 or 4 years.
We have all positions covered but to be honest I think there are more players that need to be moved out than in, too many for one window mind you.
I think his contract states something like whoever offers Leicester the highest amount above £20m, they have to accept that offer. Vague but apparently it's along those lines. Not quite sure how that wold work because surely Leicester could wait to see if someone offers more, etc.
Remember when he was going to be the next big star, didnt he break his leg or something years ago which scuppered big potnetial moves?
We should have accepted Palace's original £27.5 million bid. We'll end up stuck with him now.
Fabio Borini all over again.
Liverpool looking for the greater fool.
Liverpool are run by morons if they think they'll find another club stupid enough to pay £32m for him.
Players really falling upwards to Barca this window if they sign him and Digne.
I remember when he was seen on a similar level to Dybala whilst still at Villareal.
He can't buy a game at Atletico so he will fare even worse at Barca. Fòr the sake of his career, he needs to get regular game time sooner rather than later.
Club told Morata that is staying
#FreeMorata
"Cold, cold", "Pogba raises questions/doutbs","his performances in the euro didn´t convince, the price seems exorbitant"
Real Madrid scoffing at a fee just says to me that their bitter about losing out on him and are now saying that they didn't want him in the first place.
Don't mind this too much. Good player, but I think Draxler is by far the better bet and they were going to buy someone.
This is good news. It makes it more likely he's coming here (in my opinion) as I interpret this as Madrid in damage limitation mode, possibly due to their knowledge that we're about to make a world record signing; as such, they'd rather portray their inability to financially compete with us, as their not wanting to compete with us because the player simply isn't good enough in their estimation.
Considering they paid £85m + for Gareth Bale I tend to agree. £100m is ridiculous though.
It is clear that Madrid will never admit a defeat, besides every day Florentino controls more sectors of the press , so it is difficult to know the state of the club , however the income level of the club is still very high so I do not think the economic situation has changed dramatically.
In my opinion is a set of facts , Raoila , an unexpectedly high offer from United, the fact that the president is not in love him him + the surveys
Another factor that can be decisive is the salary . From what I have read Pogba would earn 15 million euros a year in United. I don´t know is whether net or gross ?. Even if it was gross , it would be around 8 million euros net. He would earn more than Modric , James , Kroos , Marcelo and almost like Benzema after 7 years in the club. Perhaps the club think this can bring problems , as happened last summer with Ramos .
Personally I 'm glad he has not gone mad with jealousy. There will be more players to invest heavily in the future.

Is he really that bad, though? Admittedly I didn't see much of him last season, but he scored one of the goals of the season against us at Old Trafford. I got the impression he didn't start too often, which can really eat at a player's self-belief, especially an out and out striker (unless they're a Solskjaer type). Am I being too kind to him?
And David Luiz transfer made us feel like we conned Leeds into bankruptcy.
This sounds so good. While Bravo's tradition goal keeping is not the best, still very good, his distribution and sweeping ability are current the best IMO. Relying on Hart to play possession football...

Isn't Sane a good bet to be the next BIG thing? The way some were talking about him that's the way it appeared.
Whats wrong with Blind?
So people say. I'm not sure he's going to be that great personally though. Never been that impressed.

New gazza?
Nothing is wrong with Blind. He did a great job as CB for most of the games last season, but he's not a natural CB and it clearly showed in some games. Yes, if it comes to it he can do a job there, but like JM said, I would rather have specialist in certain positions.
Blind for me works better as a LB and DM. Anyways it's a moot point now as I don't think we're going for another CB, unless we sell Rojo or any other CB in our team.
Well 10 goals in 41 appearances was his final tally so make of that what you will. The reality is that he doesn't suit the style of football Klopp wants to play.
Origi seems to be the best option to play in Klopp's system and Sturridge's goal scoring stats speak for themselves. Ings is also a player that could do well in a high press style. So basically there's three strikers ahead of Benteke and no European football, so fewer games.
The reality is that Benteke won't get the game time with us next season. Even if he did, he wouldn't get the type of service he requires to score goals. Selling him is the best option for all parties.
The signing never really made sense and had Carroll part 2 all over it. He's a much better striker, but didn't fit the style Brenton wanted and definitely doesn't suit Klopps style.
I actually think Benteke is worth what Liverpool want for him in the current market, transfer fee wise anyway. His wages might be complicating things.
He is a very good striker in the right team.

Not at all, most people didn't even know who Dybala was when Vietto was looking so promising at Villarreal
Simeone has pretty specific criteria for 'attacking' players in his system and most of it is based on not having the ball. Plus, Vietto is not the sort of fighter that Simeone prefers eventhough he inexplicably played Martinez more. He wouldn't have been my first option for a rotating player for MSN but I still like him very much - he's talented, proven in the Primera, young and motivated to play with his fellow Argentine.
Plus, it may end up just being a loan.
I am surprised that Atletico would look to move the player on their own since Simeone is the coach who first gave the player his debut back at Racing so I suspect the player isn't happy there.
Sky Germany reporting Sane is in Manchester.
Interesting move, I'm guessing De Bruyne will be moved to a central role to accommodate Sane then ?
