Miranda and Garay both sound like good, experienced options tbh. I also like Fonte.
Fonte or Bonucci. No thanks to Garay.
We bought him for €15m and has become worse then when we bought him. €35m is like more than double for a player that got worse, dont think we will ever get that.
Fonte is still class, but he'll turn 33 this year and considering he plays for Southampton, he'll likely still cost £10m ish. Bonucci is world class, but there's no chance Juve would sell him, especially after selling Pogba. Even if Bonucci were to be sold, Castles reckons Juve want £60m, which is ridiculous money for a 29 year old CB. Garay for me would make the most sense out of the lot. Eventhough, he'll be 30 soon, if we can get him for £15m or under, it'll be decent business.
I do not think Fonte or Garay would improve us at all. They would just fill the cliched "experience" tag.
I'd happily see us pay £60m for Bonucci. Not only is he a world class defender, but the reaction of the Juventus fans would provide world class entertainment.
But in the same market, where Roma would ask for €50m for Manolas, why can't we ask that for Darmian. Darmian had a disappointing season, but so has Stones, and somehow Everton want £50m for him, when they were asking for the already prohibitive £40m last summer from Chelsea.
(We bought Darmian for €20m btw).
I'd take Fonte in a heart beat. We would have that perfect balance between experience and youth in the first 11.
Can't see Jones and Rojo surviving under Jose. Too injury prone/crap.
Difference is Manolas did well and has garnered interest from Premier League teams (everyone knows they have the money) and even though Stones has been rubbish a Premier League side is interested who Everton see as a competitor. With both players, Roma and Everton are reluctant to sell.
With Darmian I doubt we'd strongly want to keep him, and with only team interested being an Italian one the price goes down lots.
Yeah that's true. But if the only interest in Darmian is with Italian clubs that won't pay what we want, then we simply shouldn't sell. Or if we do, we'd swap Darmian for a player we're interested from the club. Manolas has done well, but to ask for 4 times what they paid 2 years ago for is extreme either way you look at it. Especially if with Darmian, we are expected to take a loss. Darmian may have had one disappointing season, but the season before, he was in the Seria A team of the year (Manolas e.g. hasn't ever made it there) and also won the award for the Italian national team player of the year in 2015. The latter is some achievement for a team with players like Bonucci, Chielini, Barzagli, Buffon, Verrati and co.
So my point is, we should also look to sell for a big profit. Especially in the current market, where players values are ridiculously inflated.
It's suggesting that he is advising Fellaini to leave, rather than suggesting it
It could also suggest moving on from something else. Girlfriend or stuff like that
I think tony is suggesting he has moved on from tying to create assists for Rooney to Ibra and Fellaini.
Don't know. The Instagram screenshot shows moving on?
Its translated so not what he actually said in his first language.
If Fellaini was leaving I doubt he'd be traveling with the squad, much less playing in friendlies.
I think he just means "moving on", as in "keep going"..doesn't seem like a goodbye kind of post. If it is I won't be shedding many tears.
Just another United fan account looking for retweets/follows.
Inter interested in Oscar.
It's probably a misunderstanding, but please, please be true! I'll love Tony V even more
Free transfer last year, must be a tempting offer
True, though from the outside looking in it seems they're having trouble getting the right players in. Looks like their proposed moves for Mata and Witsel might have hit the buffers at this stage anyway.
Linked with Ashley Williams today.
Deleted the Lukaku tweet as its referencing the Express (banned).
As per the reports, they are making some serious bids but none of the players are eager to join them. Kaloubily, Witsel & Mata to name a few.
No way they're turning that down surely, if true.
Would also mean Costa would be on his bike?
80m euros, jesus h christ.
Fellaini won't be leaving, I don't think. Mou likes his elbows.

Nope.

It's referencing the Express again.
Taking tweets for their word is a bad idea. Better to look at articles themselves as more often than not they reference something else. All revolves around the Express /SportWitness
Damn, it's like a cobweb. The journo did not mention Express anywhere in his tweet. Should I delete the post?
Yeah please. They rarely do refer to other papers in the tweets or whatever to sound more legit.
Deleted. The reaction of chelsea fans on twitter is priceless. They are going nuts on the reported price.
The more legit accounts always link to the source anyway.
If the Lukaku figure is true, then we have officially ruined every team's transfer window by paying 100m for Pogba
