He's woeful, City massively overpaid for him cause they got caught in the hype. We'll be nowhere near him, not even an upgrade on Blind at CB.
I have a simple request. Can people stop moaning about moaning about moaning. The thread is hard to read because of if. Should be Tweets and responses about the player. I know this is somewhat ironic post but for the sake of spoiling an otherwise good thread it needs to be said
Got to love the Caf. City are signing young "wonderkid" style players who may not make it in the Premier League at all, Jose is targeting players who he believes will achieve his objectives and people are having a meltdown.
This isn't football manager people. Buying over the age of 25+ isn't a disaster for anyone.

If Chelsea are trying to sign Willian-style Perisic, does this mean we are going to sign the real thing from Chelsea? We know that Jose loves him - one of the only players that put in a shift during his disasterous last season while the likes of Hazard were downing tools.
Seems like our valuation of the player and Inter's is still quite different according to di Marzio.
Assume it's meant to be Mendy but...bit racist?
Perisic isnt good enough. Its not about his age. He is inconsistent for Inter and was also inconsistent at Wolfsburg
I can gave time for inconsistency when you're young. Perisic is supposed to be at his peak.
Willian wasn't even a starter this season. Could see us getting him if he asks to leave, another Mata style transfer. Wouldn't say no at all to him tbh, very decent winger
We'll see. Benitez will make him stand on his own 6 yard line and hoof the ball whenever it dare come near and he'll be a colossus at it.
There's a reason for hype, it's not because you're woeful.
God no, he'd be a very good signing.
it doesn't work like that, managers are not infallible. Mourinho has gotten plenty of transfers wrong. United does not exist in a void, City is competition, competition that has been trumping us for a couple of years now.The manager handing is shortlist 2 months ago is relevant in the context of people getting anxious because direct rivals have already tied up a very good player with a high ceiling and are seemingly pretty aggressive in the market, meanwhile we are being linked with pretty average players. Does it explain some of the reactions? yes, it very much does so. are those reactions justified? you can argue that I guess.
Yes we won 2 trophies but let's not kid ourselves, they aren't the major ones or at least the ones we should be gunning for. secondly, we fell short in the league, badly. thirdly, our performances haven't been consistently great for like 2 or 3 months now, so yes, signing players is pretty important unless you wannabe stagnated or even worse. We are already behind our competition in the league, let alone in Europe.
It's great that you are enjoying the europa win, but it's also ok for others to voice their opinion/displeasure with the type of players we are being linked to, I mean, if it was all "I trust the manager" type stuff, what would even be the point of a forum?
I wonder at what point it woild be cheaper for city owners to just buy Monaco FC
Relax, drink a glass of water, breath deep. Ummmmmmmm...
It's a joke pal, was talking about the dark figure with a huge question mark on his chest.
Something fishy about this, why would you go to Monaco just for the qualifying? Surely he had some other business to conclude yesterday as well.
I'd be happy with Keane, Perisic and Griezmann personally I'm not Diers biggest fan. I think we will buy 5 now due to Zlatan injury and Rooney looking set to leave.
Meanwhile Ed Woodward is still trying to figure out what day of the week it is.
I'd much rather Eric Dier compared to Michael Keane. We already have to many average English centre backs, don't need another one who we'll have to spend stupid amounts on after letting him go for pennies a few years ago.
I would say...
Underwhelmed, bordering on depressed
This
And even more this
Ah the old Woodward boom and bust cycle. He'll sign Griezmann next week and everyone will be lauding him as legend and the greatest ever

Well said.
Valencia, Real Sociedad and Sevilla paying attention to Lucas Pérez (and probably Depor too)

Valencia want Jovetic
We signed PAUL POGBA(You know that talented midfielder that everyone in world football wanted) last season and yet some are still criticising Woodward.
Is it weird that City seem to be buying every player we get linked with or is that normal?

Not having a go at you mate but if people get anxious over stuff like that, then I have no idea how they cope with pressures of life.
City had been linked to Ederson well before we were.
Sorry but you know nothing in this regard
You do realize that posting on a forum about topics doesn't bleed over into many other things in life, I look after my mother who has alzheimers, I'm sure many others here who are having a moan have real life priorities as well, giving a negative opinion on a forum doesn't equate to some real life inbalance that sees us sitting in a corner rocking back and forth, it's just an opinion and some banter on a message board that people like yourself keep trying to make into more than that, I am passioante about United, I voice my views and that's it, like many others here, for all you know the "Everything is rosey" brigade might be running a blade up and down their arms as they type.
Top teams get linked to the best players.
Maybe, but he could've been there for the grand prix and to meet the pilots and teams personally. He wouldn't be able to go into the pits during the race.
Maybe he is just unwinding and having a good time.
The tweet is talking about Real Sociedad and not Real Madrid!
With Real I mean Real Sociedad
Not everything has to have an ulterior motive behind it.
