Yes to Sandro at that price.
I mean I imagine Martial will be the one who's sold. And I know it's a smaller thing, but Martial wears the number Bale does.If Martial is going to be out of the team it's going to be due to Rashford or more likely Sanchez. Mata will be the one that will struggle for game time more than anyone should Bale arrive as he'll take his position on the right
Like feck he does. He's a disaster defensively. The moment the ball or the opponent is behind him it might as well not exist. HE is the reason we play with CasemiroIt doesn't have to be a symmetric formation and Kroos has decent mobility. Lack of it is overstated. He also more than makes up for that with is awareness, positioning and of course passing. Kroos would be an excellent signing imo. Not the one we're going to make unfortunately.
DealThey can have Old Trafford while they're at it.
Di Marzio was not pushing the Fabinho line. He said that United were interested but never followed up on the interest.
Just to show how accurate Di Marzio is, have a look at the following.
http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/juventus-new-contacts-for-matuidi-he-is-again-an-option
Not only did he put Matic as favourite to join United just before he signed, but he also had Matuidi to Juventus as a consequence of it. Di Marzio has connections to agents and this is why he is so reliable...he was also the one that broke the Alexis Sanchez deal while everyone else was saying he was City bound.
That's because muppets can't read. If a journo says "club is interested in player X negotiations ongoing with his club, deal appears to be close" what they read is "CLUB IS SIGNING PLAYER X, WILL BE ANNOUNCED AS SOON AS THE ASIAN MARKETS OPEN AND HE'S TRAVELING ON PLANE XYZ, TRACK IT DOWN!!!!"Yeah he was. I remember laughing at him and all his acolytes that were 100% convinced that Fabinho was coming here and not Matic. Not sure how he's tried spinning the situation after the fact, but at the time he wasn't one claiming we'd get Matic and it was seen at British media vs Di Marzio's crew.
Free numbers for Martial:I mean I imagine Martial will be the one who's sold. And I know it's a smaller thing, but Martial wears the number Bale does.
I still think we could do with one extra body in attack, so Bale could complement what we have. It doesn't have to be 1 in, 1 out but I think it will be.
Exactly. The reports he was miffed over losing 9 were annoying enough. If he loses 11, he's gone.Free numbers for Martial:
10 (won't go to Martial in a million years - more likely to go to Rashford or a new signing in a years time)
13 (number is synonymous with a reserve keeper in my mind)
14 (if Lingard gets 10)
16 (number synonymous with a midfielder for me after Keano and Carrick)
19 (if Rashford gets 10)
Wouldn't look great for his future. How often does a first team squad player lose their first XI number once - never mind twice - and still have a long term future at a club? Pastore is the only name that comes to mind and he reportedly voluntarily gave it up for Neymar plus with them signing Di Maria and Draxler, Pastore's PSG future was pretty much over anyway.

I doubt we're going for Bale, but even if we do, surely he'd get #10?Free numbers for Martial:

Incorrect. This, from Di Marzio on 24th June 2017, said we had already made a €50m bid, that talks were ongoing and that the player was at that time "very close" to joining us.
http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/manchester-united-is-very-close-to-fabinho
Bouhafsi said the player was one of our "priorities of the transfer window". I'd therefore take the Ghoulam tweet/story above with a pinch of salt. Nobody is even remotely infallible when it comes to this stuff.
If any of these are true, it sounds like our summer transfer plans are essentially just find the oldest or most unfit players available and even better if they fit both categories.

"The resignation of Bale: he has already assumed that he is out of Real Madrid
The departure of Bale is getting closer and, except for unexpected twist, all the pieces are being placed for his return to England, Manchester United more specifically" (translated by Google)
I doubt your redcafe name
Juventus can't buy Martial. He's completely out of their price range.

Caldara is joining in the summer and Spinazzola is out on loan from Juve. It's possible of course that Alex Sandro leaves but i think Asamoah might leave. Not sure about midfield, think it's just a case of them wanting to strengthen rather than anyone particular leavning.Martial is one of many names mentioned in Italian media as part of summer "overhaul" at Juve after the loss to Real
Darmian, Bernat, Hector, Digne, Can, Savic, Rabiot and Martial according to Tuttosport
Darmian, Caldara, Spinazzola, Sokratis and Marchetti according to CdS
Griezmann, Gimenez, Darmian and Cristiante according to GdS
Some of these players like Griezmann, SMS, Rabiot and Martial look unattainable for Juve. I'm sure they can have Darmian tho
He would be one of the last names out the door if it were up to me but I guess swapping him for Dybala wouldn't be the worst deal.Juventus can't buy Martial. He's completely out of their price range.
Don't be silly, it'll be a year's loan of course
We will probably sell him for €16m and call it a good deal as it would mean a reduced wage bill.

Personally the signing of Courtois(and Leno or Alisson) does not excite me at all. If it can not be De Gea I think I'd prefer to stay with Navas and give Zidane's son a chance in a couple of years.I can honestly seeing you wait for Courtois to see out his contract and get him for no transfer fee. The only way you get DDG is a straight swap for Bale and I highly doubt we'd pay Bale wage demands, or feel he's a £100m player as to what we value DDG at.
This apparent relaxed approach to letting Kroos or Modric go means you'll have to replace them, that won't be cheap neither.
Would be seriously annoyed if we sign Bale and sell Martial.
If we didn’t sign Sanchez then maybe I would have been slightly up for it as it would mean Martial/Rashford could occupy the left spot and Bale on right when fit.
What? With the same logic we have Sanchez on the left and Bale on the right. I mean I don't want Martial gone but I don't really think Bale is the one who would cut down his game time. We have space for a second striker and a backup left winger. It's between Martial and Rashford for that spot. Now if Martial showed any comfort on the right wing or a desire to play there I'd certainly give him time to adapt there but I haven't seen much from Mourinho or Martial that shows that interest
True.Juventus can't buy Martial. He's completely out of their price range.
Le10Sport says we're after Sidibe (Mirror assumes as replacement for Shaw)
He can play left back decently. The thing is Shaw is not exactly our first choice, and it seems like Sidebe is more of Valencia successor given Valencia looks like being on the decline.I thought he was a right back.
This would be a solid signing, he's no Marcelo or Alaba but he's one of the best of the rest.
