I pity for the poor souls.
Even during Fergie era, we did not exactly buy 10 superstars/hyped names for 10 position. Fergie made sure his team can work as a cohesive unit.
Mourinho is the same. Can we have a little bit of faith in him and stop being a 5 year old?

35m euro is fair
Lets face it, we can all argue "this player is average" "this youngster will never be world class" "He is crap" regarding signings we are linked with. At the end of the day if you look at our best first eleven, for me there are 3 or 4 positions we are really really average in despite spending millions. Whoever we sign, I would expect they would improve us in those positions in comparison to what we have
Problem is tax when doing that, it can be alot of extra money if the selling club dont want to play ball.
This. 100℅.
There is NO sense in trying to fit square pegs into round holes. We should have learnt this from the last few seasons.
I wouldn't mind so much if we were able to pick him up for that price. I can why people are losing their shit though with the 60m figure getting thrown around. That would be a significant chunk out of warchest.
Great price, agreed.
Thank you for adding some much needed sense to this mess of a forum. The toys being thrown out of prams is unreal. The anger is strong here. Meltdown imminent.
The forum should be shut for 24hrs after every rival signs a "good" player that we've been linked to over the past 5 years.
With a finite budget I could live with 35m, that's still too much but it doesn't take too much money from other possible targets.
Wanting €55-60m is just silly. But I suppose that's what we get for being the richest club in the world. Clubs take the piss.
Silva and Perisic are completely different profile of players. Silva is a playmaker from wide areas, agile and good with his feet. Perisic is strong/fast, hard working on the wings.
We already have Mkitaryan and Mata to play in Silva's position on the right. Perisic is a player that plays on the left and our options are Lingard and Martial on the left. Both of those options are lacking in quality (lingard lacks attacking quality, Martial lacks defensive quality).
I would not be surprised if Gareth Bale was our first option but it was too difficult to get him (he would cost 2-3 times what Perisic cost). Getting Griezmann seems to be our top priority (there are reports as early as January that we were negotiation with him since he doesnt have an agent). So we might get Griezmann as our main signing and then lower profile signings for the rest.
Mourinho signed Fabregas, Costa, Eto, Sneijder, Ozil, Di Maria and all were fantastic for him. Fabregas was a Barcelona reject, Sneijder was a Real Madrid reject, Ozil and Di Maria were low profile signings from smaller clubs. He understands the qualities needed to succeed in his system.

Sometimes think this place should close for summer.
Reopening a week before the new season.
Assess set up of the team then, not on May 28th ffs.

Sounds like Perisic is one of the four on Jose's list he's given to Woody.
Keane
Dier
Perisic
Griezeman
Say he gets all four, how would people feel about that as a summer's business?
Maybe we are going for the cheapest targets first, then increase our spending as targets become higher quality.
Could loan them Tofu or Adnan for a season as part of it.
Tofu
Fair enough - there's little I can disagree with on that point. But 55-60m for a modest improvement and a player turning 29 is still bizzare. There's surely other options.
Underwhelmed, bordering on depressed
at the best 6 out of 10, depressing as feck. 3 mediocre players is to add to the squad already full of average players.
TOP4 will be a miracle with this squad, compare to City and not even other top European clubs, we are in deep trouble as a club in general
Seems its like I said, they're asking for crazy money and we've offered sensible money. €35m is sensible. Expect us to be linked with 3 other wingers in the next few days to pressure Inter into getting real.
You do hyperbole well.
Wrong thread to ask that? How about the if you could sign 4 players thread?
Those four would probably fit with the £200m we are rumoured to be spending I guess, given the "PL tax" on top of the "United tax" added to any transfer fees.
Sky in Italy: Chelsea also interested in signing Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan. Man United offering €35m. Inter want between €55m and €60m
That seems like a classic Inter leak to pressure Utd to pay out.
Good idea, I've posted it there.
Not understanding the negativity on Perisic. Seems to score and assist consistently. This season with 30 league starts and 5 subs (minutes are equivalent to 30 games total) he's scored 10 and has 6 assists. Not an outlier season either. I'd take that from each winger please.
Inter right now:
Absolutely. To be followed by us leaking our other targets.
Or Chelsea end up signing him and everyone complains that we missed out on him and Silva and there's no one else to signIf United fall for this trick and we end up paying more, then feck me.
Im not too bothered about the price tag, thats a headache for Ed Woodward
If he gives us 3-4 years so Martial can develop playing as a back-up for him then thats fine by me. His price tag is probably not that high anyway, since most reports are saying something closer to £35-40 million
Happy.
Wouldn't surprise me if our name has once again been used to pressure the actual interested club into meeting the asking price. In this case - Chelsea.
Watch Chelsea sign him and people then freak out as we've missed out to them
Imagine when he starts putting in worldie performances for them what the tone would be on here? Mané x1000- Status
