If they stay it will be for depth purposes and until such time as other players Mou is looking at become available (next window).
 
Don't mind keeping them, we need a strong squad. Competition for places is important
 
Benatia medical.


Funny how other clubs get officially involved and start announcing the player even before medical. United on other hand believe in taking their own sweet time and driving muppets insane in process.
 
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.
Wrong.

Even though the Caf doesn't represent all football fans, Dybala was just as well known on here as Vietto when they were still at Palermo and Villareal respectively.

In fact, if you see the thread I have linked below, Dybala has almost twice as many votes as Vietto when posters were asked what forward they would prefer. This poll also had Lacazette, who was coming off a 30+ goal season in 2015 so he collected alot of votes that would have likely made Dybala's lead even bigger if he wan't in the poll. As a result, we can safely say that Dybala certainly was very well known when Vietto looked promising at Villareal.

Anyway, the main point I was making is that Vietto still clearly has alot of talent and as a United fan, I would rather see him starting week in week out to recapture his form than first rotation for MSN. If I was a Barca fan, I would be all for it for the reasons that you state.
 


Kicker: Frankfurt interested in Varela (confirmed by Fredi Bobic, Frankfurts sporting manager), want a loan deal with option to buy. Still a bit of work to be done...

Want a loan deal when he has only 2 years left...penny pinchers.

That poll was in March 2015 - long after Vietto took Villarreal by storm. Reading the comments, clear most (Even on the Caf) didn't know who any of the players were

I like both Vietto & Dybala but at this point Juve aren't going to sell him, nevermind at a fee comparable to that of Vietto

No we were actually strongly linked with Dybala around the 2015 January transfer window, when the Palermo president said that we inquired about him, but they'd only consider selling in the summer. And Vietto's early form in his final season at Villareal didn't go unnoticed and I believe there was a fairly large thread on him.
 
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.

Yeah, I get that. Makes you wonder why Liverpool ever bought him, given that they knew he couldn't possibly fit the style of play even under Brentan. Not that we can talk, with some of our square-peg round-hole purchases over the last few years. He'll score shedloads for someone, though, I think.

Watch him kick on ala Hernandez
 
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.

I disagree. I think he can become a top CB like his Dad but he would need a fast partner wherever he goes or if he stays.

Absolutely this. Some of the best centre backs the world has ever seen weren't tall or imposing, but they read the game well. I'd personally use Bailly or Jones against tough or physical teams where we will be under more pressure and need to defend more crosses. Where we will likely dominate possession, Blind adds another dimension to our play.

Agreed. Even if Blind wasn't in the first team, his versatility would be such an advantage given that he can play as a CDM, LB and CB. I would be disappointed if he were sold, as he's the perfect squad player.
 
Apparntly according to calciomercato Juve have made 75 million euro bid to sign higuain.
 
Yup but if they do try to sign him, then we know who is leaving them. Its like spurs and bale before he went to madrid. Spurs spent about 100 million.
Agree with that but doubt they're buying Higuain.
