Absolutely crapping it and loving it!
Replacing Sanchez with Draxler would be fecking hilarious.
Why would Arsenal being interested in Draxler indicate Wenger's off in the summer?
There's plenty of reasons why he might be gone, but I don't think interest in Draxler is one.
Noone can sign Bonucci or Ramos.Van Dijk is good for PL, but he won't be the best in the world.
After Mangala, Otamendi and Stones, this would be 200M spend on central defenders for them.
He will improve them, but I'm not afraid as if they would have taken Bonucci or Ramos

Ye, i got that. Just wouldn't happen. Thiago Silva is a different story. His contract expires in the summer and is yet to renew. Rumors of Juve (surprise, surprise) and Chelsea.It was an example.
If Chitteh came and signed Thiago Silva I would be worried.
The same for Chelsea.
But Van Dijk is a good footballer but won't resolve all their problems

Think he's stated that he wants to renew as well. You never know, though.I don't really think that Paris can afford to let him go. They've issues in this area since David Luiz left this summer, letting them a bit thin with only Marquinhos and young Kimpembe. He's just putting pressure on the club to get a better contract. I bet that he will still play two more years at Paris before moving to China or Brazil

Just extended his contract to 2020He's captain, he's paid like a prince, he's a regular starter, and... he's an absolute coward so he won't risk anything at his age
Definitely. He can play on the ball and is a monster physically, but that defensive system Pep implements is for masochists.Jeez, £50m for Van Dijk, he's a decent defender having a very good season. Too many teams have fallen into traps like these too many times.

I'm not buying it, there's 6/7 of these types of players every season who get inflated way beyond their value then go on to achieve very little from their careers. Every season there's always something "different" about these types of players and why they'll go on to be a success etc but in the end they almost always fail. You're free to your opinion but I just think in a year's time no one will mention Van Dijk as a player worthy of playing for a top four club.He's better than decent and was very good last season as well.
Strange thing to say considering he's basically playing on the same level as last season.Jeez, £50m for Van Dijk, he's a decent defender having a very good season. Too many teams have fallen into traps like these too many times.
That's ridiculous. City have got to stop buying the very good Lately's and try some fecking scouting.
Van Dijk for £50M should value Smalling around the same
This, it's not like he came from a club no one has ever heard about either, he was already forging quite the reputation at Celtic. Why does it take clubs to let the Southamptons of this world take a punt on them first?
You find a club willing to pay £50M for Smalling and I'll... nevermind, you'll never find one.
I'd have thought the same about van Dijk a week ago
You find a club willing to pay £50M for Smalling and I'll... nevermind, you'll never find one.
City had that youth player on loan at Celtic that actually played alongside Virgil for 30 odd games. You would think they would have noticed his talent when they were keeping up to date with their own fecking player.This, it's not like he came from a club no one has ever heard about either, he was already forging quite the reputation at Celtic.

What is that supposed to mean?Wanted utd to sign Van Dijk in the summer to partner Smalling, I'd be disappointed if city get him, then again I really wanted Leroy Sane too for the future but I guess with mourinho we won't see signings like sane and under him we'll probably miss out on weigl too.
Einstein doesn't like Mourinho.What is that supposed to mean?
Why aren't we this lucky ffs? Why every other club gets to sell their deadwood to Chinese clubs for ridiculous cash!
Guess we don’t have any such players with no ambition (except financial), especially 25-year olds.
If I would have to name 1 player, Depay comes to mind... Young maybe getting a final payday?
What is that supposed to mean?
Evil evil MourinhoIn an alternate universe that the poster lives in, BVB are begging us to take Weigl off them while Mourinho says 'no' every single time.
