Is the premium paid more than we'd lose by missing out on the CL though? I don't believe so and then you've got the benefit of them settling in for next season which has it's worth.

At least we're not claiming "there's no value in the market"
Suppose it depends who they are seriously after and if their club will sell them at this stage. We could get a CB, but they might want a seriously world class one.
 
This guy isn't a journalist or anything. Don't post his tweets.
Says he writes for Grup 14 which seems a moderately sized Barcelona outlet. Also seems pretty respected by everyone except you, from my list for example he's followed by Guillem Balague, Sam Lee, Duncan Castles, Oliver Kay, James Robson, Graham Hunter, Ian Ladyman, Sport Witness.

I think KM is getting himself confused, he’s had plenty of insider knowledge before. He’s a total Barca fanboy and a freelance journalist. He’s put his neck on the line here saying no de jong so we shall see.
 
So we let Clyne go because he asked nicely, but stopped Camacho from going out on loan even though he wanted to go, so that he can feature in a couple of meaningless last minute cameos. And now we are anxiously looking for some cheap alternative to help out in that exact position.

Good job.
 
I doubt that given they have a similar but better player in Isco. The only thing Silva might have over Isco is his drugged up work rate. Isco is by no means a lazy player though, he has a brilliant work rate.
Problem with Isco is the same issue we have with Mata, it’s not laziness or lack of effort, they simply aren’t effective in pressing because of how slow they are.
 
Andrea Berta, Atlético's sporting director, considers whether to sign for Manchester United once Mourinho has left the English club. He has a 2 YEAR renewal offer but he does not know whether to face the English project"

Is he slow? I can't say I've ever noticed. I mean, no one is as slow as Mata :lol:

He looks like the main villain from an old fairy tale especially with this nose.

Not sure what to make of him. Atletico had a brilliant recruitment scheme going when they were a low budget outfit buy seem to have stagnated once they've had the budget increased to Elite levels. Can't think of any big money signings that have really worked out. Makes one wonder how he'd deal with the crazy expectations and huge budget at United. Atletico still rely on their old horses and have signed a lot of great players without them really making it count.
 
Ole said in the embargo part of the press conference that he doesn't think anyone is coming in. Shocked more aren't discussing it in here.

And this strangely enough may be a blessing for Solskjaer. If United reach top-4 despite him signing anyone he will be knighted (or Close enough) - and it will be almost impossible to deny him the job. And if they don't reach top-4 (but came close) everyone will argue that if he had been allowed to sign a player - we would have reached top-4

If United did sign somebody - and that player didn't immediately work out (which they rarely do in january) - that would have been an argument against Solskjaer. Especially with centrla defenders who need time to strike a partnership.

So us not signing somebody will most likely improve his chances of being our permanent new manager
