I read some of his tweets after, and he says the article says that United offer double the wages, but we haven't made an official offer yet. City haven't got him yet though.

Would be nice to beat city to a signing. But would rather him come and want to play rather than because we offered more money. Can't say I've seen much of him. Isn't Gabriel Barbosa supposed to be better?

Can't imagine a young Brazilian choosing us over City just cos we doubled his wages... Oh wait... Yes I can!

This could be a case of our name and current scattercash reputation being used to up the lads wages? Double is chancing it though if that is what his reps are up to.

Do people never learn? They won't even win the league again with Wenger. Serial non-winners.

No imo Gabigol isn't as big a talent as Jesus. But I have watched both a very limited number of times, perhaps asking @fontaine would be a better shout.

Rafael?

I don't rate him as highly as some do here, I'll give you him though.

All the others I can remember in my lifetime like Kleberson, Anderson and Rafael have been poor though.

Come to think of it, there's not really an abundance of Brazilian players who have excelled in the Prem, Juninho is the only one I can really think of, maybe Coutinho and Firminho in flashes.

Sorry mate, I don't get your point?

You cited Rafael as a "good Brazilian footballer" - when people think of that, they think of players like Zico, Socrates, Pele, Jairzinho, Neymar - not a player who hardly played for them and with only a rudimentary grasp of the offside rule

I mentioned Rafael as the only Brazilian player who was good for us, not as one of the "good" Brazilian players in general. I thought that's what Redfan94 meant, but maybe he didn't. Feck knows.

Crazy fee for a young player who only has a handful of appearances so far.

From what I remember, he was one of Liverpool's most impressive performers when they played most of their youth team in the cup games. I guess in this market £6m is a decent price. But what I find interesting is, what happens to Tyrone Mings now? And do Bournemouth fear that he may not return to the same level after coming back from injury (I guess he can play CB aswell.)

Barely played for us. He's the one who comes in for the early League cup rounds and whips in a few good crosses now and then and we're getting 6m for him? Another buy-back clause in this one? Bournemouth are being far too kind to us.
 
They should just start shopping at Southampton. Cut out the middle man.
 
I rate Eddie Howe but not sure at all about their summer. Can see Bournemouth going down, certainly if they have the luck with injuries they had last year.

I'd say the players you mentioned are classed as better than "good Brazilian players"

I'd be surprised if we pursue with Tuanzebe, Fosu-Mensah and Williams all coming through.

I agree, if the fee is £18m in todays market is a more than fair price and certainly wouldnt mind him, especially being English, but like you say we already have one similar player in Mensah, not seen enough of the other two to form any opinion but Tuanzabe looks promising too from the few clips I have seen.
 
United Pro said:
Quite different cases. Gerrard played for Liverpool, who have a massive rivalry with United. Sunderland don't have that. And on top of that, I remember SAF saying this himself that United sold many players (at decent prices) to Sunderland and the fans still cheered when United didn't win. I personally don't really care about that, as it's common knowledge that everyone bar United fans hate United. And in terms of Moyes, he was frankly useless for United, but he's still a good guy, so I wish him the best.

His media friends painted him that way. He comes off as smug and bitter himself than good guy. LVG so far showed class at least.
 
vanderpants said:
Only if Pogba arrives, don't want to do a LVG an leave the squad thin. Wy not sell Fellaini 1st?

Fellaini is very useful, you don't sell useful players. At least, far more useful than Bastian. I love Bastian but I don't think he's up for it anymore.
