This summer transfer window sounds like it's going to be nuts.
They should wait for him to get few more calls ups in Serbian national team, those shady cnuts gonna feck him up and mess with his head, after which he will look like 5 mil. striker.
This won’t be an easy window with Madrid and Bayern planning big moves. We absolutely need CL and we need a proper plan and I hope it’s in place or at least in the process of being made. No messing about, pay what we need to pay and sort our team out.
Doesn't exactly get my juices flowing to be honest.
Barca look like they are going big too and I'm sure Liverpool and City will spend a lot. Barely doing any business last summer is looking like an even bigger mistake now.
Please not Lozano. He’s so overrated
Please God let the Sancho rumour be true.
Also, are Barca, Real and City going to buy everyone? It seems like it. I've barely heard anything about PSG so far, you have to think they'll be blowing their load too. Going to be mental.

Same shitty posters everytime though. We are Man United ffs.
Lozano, Sancho in, perhaps a more central role for Martial?
You’re devastated by a press rumour linking City to a player who’s got 6 years left on his contract and who’s never mentioned wanting a new challenge? Think you need to get out more
80m will be a very good deal.
We’ll probably get him. Ole has already name checked him twice. We’ll overpay like there is no tomorrow though. I also think we won’t get De Ligt.
Sorry, but I won't be satisfied until our backline is made up of literal babies. Only then can we finally say we've rid our transfer policy of its short-termism and exorcised the ghost of Jose Mourinho.
Really?
Be really funny if we get Sancho and Dortmund beats Bayern to CHO.
He'll be 28 at the start of next season, and that's not really the point, if he joined and was amazing from the start then great but older players can struggle to adapt to a new league and by the time they have they are starting to decline physically or will do soon afterwards, leaving a player with high wages and no resale value. Spending £100m on a 28 year old player from a foreign league is inherently riskier than spending £100m on a younger player
There we have it folks. Typical Cafe, 28 year old treated like an old man who will start to decline soon (as if it's the 80s or something and a 30 year olds are for a glue factory) and of course the mythical resale value..
When did this happen that in the 21st century when players play up until 36, 37, 28 year olds are treated as old players?
He's saying what fans want to hear.
I get out every day.You’re devastated by a press rumour linking City to a player who’s got 6 years left on his contract and who’s never mentioned wanting a new challenge? Think you need to get out more
Of course, and if he doesn't deliver it will backfire.
I just mean I don't care what Ed is saying, he's been talking a lot about everything, not to mention watch this space and similar rabble. This summer he has to act and act big.
Ed should act by reducing his own power first. What good is it if he carries on with this terrible recruitment strategy? If you can even call it a strategy?
Lucas Hernandez for 40 million is the deal of the window if it goes through. Apparently one of the best defenders in La Liga when he played as a centre half (anyone can share some light).
He played left back during the world cup for France, this summer window looks to be a hectic situation.

It's 80 million deal, tweet said they have already paid 40 million for the transfer.
He's 28 at the start of next season, by the time he's adapted to a very different league (if he ever does) he could be 29 or 30. Sanchez is 30 and is clearly in decline. Some players, those who aren't overly reliant on their pace or are able to adapt their game to cope, play on at a high level until their mid 30's, but they are few and far between.
As an investment an 18 year old makes a lot more sense than a 28 year old. Its potentially 15 years of service vs 5 years.
There’s this ridiculous Essien-style calculator on the caf that seems to have concluded that if we signed Koulibaly at 28, he will be of no use until 31, and we start counting his contribution from there. Started as a suggestion, but now it’s taken off to the point where everyone seems to have subscribed to it. That’s the flaw.
Some people seem to think the only type of good investment you can make is in potential.
28 going on 40.
How old is VVD? He wasn't a spring chicken when pool bought him. Some of you guys are mad honestly.
But if there's no 18 year old top defender available then the choice is between a 18 year old talent who might reach Koulibaly's level versus a 28 year Koulibaly who's already at Koulibaly's level.
