Pretty sure there was a Porto fan back a couple of years ago who said Quintero is far too weak for European football.

I was listening to the Colombia-Poland game on BBC radio yesterday and whoever was doing the punditry was waxing lyrical about Quintero. Going so far as to say that he would not only pick him for this world cup’s best XI, but he’d make him his first pick and the captain too.
I wasn’t sure if it was a different Quintero he was talking about or if the bloke was so high on poppers he’d transcended to an alternate dimension.

Being responsible for transfer news at the journos must be a very boring job this summer..
Mateo Kovacic wants to leave #RealMadrid.
But they won’t make it easy for him.
He’ll be held to 3 years remaining on his contract with a €300 million release clause.
So is someone going to come out with the slavery remark again like they did with Ronaldo?

Disagree. You could argue as the game gets more and more "athletic" players should and will be able to go longer than before.
Yeah, I mean very talented clever player, but an absolute passenger without the ball and barely even fit.
It is a very obvious interest, and very typical of Madrid. I read somewhere else that they had contacted him, but surely they have done it with many.
I personally love the profile,a very talented creative midfielder who had bad luck in Europe but make a great world cup and returns in a big way. I like to sign a "mediapunta" every summer so could be an option, until we see someone better
that's what they say to not devalue him. They also refused to let Morata leave at the beginning of last summer, but I do not think they will hold him against his will.
LVG laid the foundations. He actually knew the real use of Darmian.3 Italian clubs linked to Darmian?
If Juve wants Darmian, give us Sandro.
If Inter wants Darmian, give us Skriniar.
If Lazio wants Darmian, give us Savic.
You really think there's something in it?
I mean this would be typical for Perez, however, he is not the BIG star Perez is usually looking for. Would have expected that Madrid would ge for Hazard et. al after the WC.
Commercially I´m sure that they´d be interested. In any case he has to prove a little more, although James was also unknown to most of the fans before the previous world cup. If he's cheap,could replace Kovacic.
Hazard is very expensive and maybe depends on Neymar. Right now I would say(in Florentino´s mind) Irving Lozano> Hazard
@carvajal quintero is no james, and he's worse than Jesé. You understand what i mean by that 
Steer clear. Good thing it's AS reporting, which means there's a 90% chance it's a fabrication

Insane price for a quality player. Solves all our problems at the back. Wish we were linked with him.
Nah, many fans in Europe (who watch football on a regular basis) knew James before the 2014 WC - he was impressive at Porto and Monaco paid a huge sum for him the year before. For Quintero I see the, in my view made-up, rationale of him replacing Kovacic at low cost, however, I simply don't see enough quality for Madrid.

that´s impossible.Yesterday I loved him, a lot of quality and vision of the game.
One of the midfielders that I liked the most during the World Cup
Godin isn't leaving Atletico.
Godin for 20M would be the best thing we've done in 5 years.
He has quality but can't be bothered to stay fit for more than a month for Colombia. He'd spend more time eating mariscadas and closing night clubs than training

Yep he would work well in that midfield but I wouldnt say no to Kovacic
Put in a cheeky bid for Hazard, he would be amazing here.
Yeah. All we need is another left winger because we don't have enough.
Pretty sure he'd play behind Lukaku if by some ridiculous miracle he ended up here, it's pointless to discuss it either way. Also sadly, Martial won't be a united player come the new season.
He can play as a 10
Yeah, that's the major concern about getting Hazard, isn't it..
As @Inter Yer Nan just said, I do not think he will leave Atlético, and if he does, it seems to be perferct for Italian football. With his age I don´t see him starting an adventure in England.
In any case I think he has a good contract, which will not be easy to equal for Juve.
Cancelo will arrive in Turin tomorrow morning and undergo his medical visits on Wednesday. An agreement was reached between Juventus and Valencia for a permanent transfer with a 40 million euro fee
So Darmian remains at Manchester United ?
Also, Atletico would just offer him more to keep him happy if that's what he wants. He has been there for a while, has a great rapport with the club and relationship with the manager and Atletico are probably looking at their best squad of the Simeone era right now especially with Griezmann renewing.
So far yes but doubtful in the long run with Mensah returning and Dalot already here. Add to that news about Shaw more likely to stay and there's not much room for Darmian.So Darmian remains at Manchester United ?
Logic simply says he's good as gone.
So Darmian remains at Manchester United ?
You'd imagine some other Serie A team would take him for around £15m maximum. We need to cut our losses here, I'm afraid - the man is dreadful and barely played last season, his value is bottoming out.
He’s also been linked to Napoli and Inter. It’s clear that we don’t consider him part of our plans and are actively looking to sell.So Darmian remains at Manchester United ?
True - another club will slap down the cash for him.
It's clear that you're not otherwise you'd have lowered your price in the £10-12m range
Yes, we are looking to actively sell, but we are also looking to actively sell for more than anyone would reasonably pay for him.
Its like the movement of the entire market has to depend on these talent hoarding cnuts every summer.
£17-20M is reasonable for an international RB ffs.
It’s natural for clubs like United to try to get a deal that leaves a good taste in the mouth when parting with an unwanted player. The problem is that Darmian is only rated in Italy where most clubs are notoriously frugal.
If you want him off the wageroll you’ll probably have to accept about two thirds of what you paid for him.
He’s a few years older now and his stock has hardly risen in the meantime.
Anyone heard of this Dutch kid named Xavi Simons in Barça's academy? Can't we throw Blind and Darmian their way and we'll take him for free? XD
