how are we after the wrong right back ? how on earth we let this one slip ?
Sort of regret the thread I made now.
we probably another LB signing in mind. Who knows, the Dalot thing came out of the blue too.
There's no rush with Sandro. He's not going to the World Cup.
I'd imagine our energy is focused on Fred right now since he'll be jetting off in a few days. And Dalot since the deal already seems so close.
Sandro will be negotiated during the tournament when both United and Juve boards are at home twiddling their thumbs. Then Savic/Griezmann/Alderweireld/whoever will be negotiated in late July after they've come back from the World Cup and can sit down with Woody with a clear head.
The Brazil coach specifically said he wanted all his players' futures to be decided before they went to Russia. That's the reason why Fabinho/Fred are all but completed, and everybody else is still unsigned. It's a 'nationality thing', not a 'laziness from United thing'.

Starting to think we have someone else in mind at left back. Perhaps someone half the price of Sandro.
If we want Sandro, we'll start negotiating for him once Juve reach agreement with Darmian I believe. Plenty of time for both players to move in the opposite directions as they're not going to World Cup.
All clubs will have priority signings and for most, the priority will be to get those over the line that come under either category I mentioned. The only links for Sandro have been to either get a new contract or come here. If we're interested, both the agent and the player will know so there's not much to worry about. For all we know, we might be after someone else.Fabinho isn't going to Russia
I think he comes under the category of potentially high in demand. Last year, Monaco only allowed x amount of players to leave before they said "no more", so Liverpool made their move early.Im starting to think this Porto lad will get his game time as cover for both FB positions.
Maybe Bailly as a RB.
We aren't linked with anybody at left back. We're going off of Castles word and that's it
What?
Ah, thanks. I didn't realise that.
Fabinho isn't going to Russia
Though even with that being the case, I still don't think it undermines my point with regards to players going to the World Cup. Apart from the Brazilians, everyone who's en route to Russia is waiting for the tournament to end before signing with anyone.
Obviously, neither Fabinho nor Sandro come under that umbrella. However, the the reason their negotiations are happening at different times is because of different time constraints. In the case of Liverpool, it's because they have nothing better to do right now. In the case of United, it's because they first have to deal with Fred within a limited time frame.
With regards to both Dalot and Sandro, there's no great rush. I wouldn't be surprised if we've made greater progress on Dalot for purely random reasons.
How are we not interested in Cancelo who is also portuguese a very good right back, and we go instead for a 19 years old kid?
Not sure whats more surprising - fact that wolves are willing to spend 40m on one player or they are doing it on Cancelo
I thought it was to do with all clubs in Europe. There’s definitely stuff out there that has limited clubs in lower leagues, so if it isn’t FFP, I assume it’s something else.
If we're talking recently, no one, but we did use Mendes to get players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, and Bébé. He's also David de Gea's agent, though I'm not sure if he was actually used to conduct his transfer to us from Atletico.
Because Cancelo isn't that good, costs twice as much and Dalot is a big talent?
Fred, Dalot and maybe Lenglet huh? could this be Javier Ribalta at work?
Exactly my thinking. I’m pretty sure he’s pushing the SMS sale as well. Have a feeling we’re not in for Sandro though
Just thought same.
The French sources don’t have a clue. They said we’d agreed a deal for Mahrez in January, Fekir in this window and then came out with that Mane crap.
That was when y umtiti was going through the courtship phase to renew his contact . Now that he's signed I would be surprised if they went after him still
He looked great against us. Good on the ball. Possibly back up for Alderweireld. Barca signed up Umtiti as well.
That "what happens if Rooney smashes it at Everton" thread seems a distant memory now.
Pavel Nedved seems to have found the fountain of youth it seems. He hasn't aged a day since he was playing.
Matthijs de Ligt looks like the real deal. Juve can give him the time to bed in as well seeing as they are so dominant in their own league.

Maybe that's because Pavel always looked like he was 50 years old to begin with
Slow twitter transfer day it seems. World cup related probably?
What a boring transfer day.. at least announce Fred
Announce Fred.
I predict he will be announced at 6 PM. Today. Hopefully.
2 weeks
Cos that worked so well when Liverpool "would never sell" Countinho.
very naïve. any of liverpools elite players would jump to Madrid quicker than you think
