Fabinho had two choices to join between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. I'm so disappointed they didn't put "Trophies or money?"
Fabinho, Lemar, Fekir, Allison, seems like Klopp and Liverpool playing football manager.
Thinkyou need to read from a few pages back, it’s already been said.
To be fair, the players we try to sign like Pogba, Lukaku, Sanchez are very sought after by other clubs and the parent club is reluctant to let them go. If we wanted to get Fabinho it would have been quick too.
the cafe in meltdown over Fabinho and we werent even in for him.
i think that's partly why there's a supposed "meltdown"
Don't think Mourinho really wanted him - if he did, Mou would have done the deal with Mendes and Deco who are his agents.
I personally rate the guy - the manager doesn't - end of story.
I like a lot Giménez, but I don't know if they will dare to pay the clause. In theory they can do it but normally the club of origin is notified so that they agree. They did it with Theo but probably was an exception.
The return of Mariano does not make much sense , I think Madrid don't have buy back clause and besides now he is doing well in France, shouldn't return
It seems that Griezmann has doubts, but for what is said they have a pre-agreement with a fine if he breaks it.
I still think that they are going to sell Dembelé, or at least they would not mind if the offer is good enough
sigh we need to finalize the Fred deal soon to keep the natives happy.
I believe most people here would have been underwhelmed if we had signed Fabinho, since we have more pressing issues but because he’s signed for a direct rival people start to feel insecure. If we adress our own definciancies then we will be fine and his position isn’t one of them. Hopefully we will secure a couple of really good full backs as this is the area where we struggled the most last year in terms of proper service and support from the flanks.
Are there any rumors linking us to Dybala? Would be a Muppet signing for me even tho I don't know exactly how he d fit in and if he has the mental strength to perform under Mou in the PL.Icardi & Dybala
And all united WAGs would go into hiding...
He can have whatever number he wants so long as the manager agrees. Seem to recall him being bent when he lost the #9.
I pray for our WAGs - lately with the talk of Terry coming and the years of a certain No 11!
(Edit - just to qualify the Terry thing - there was a panic in the Jose no2 thread that it could be Terry)

Why is this a 'blinder'?
It's awful deal. It's about sending message that they can pick Inter's best player, it's like us picking Liverpool's best player and the rivalry and hatred is even more with all the match fixing saga.
That shirt just makes any player look like a tramp.
That's so rubbish, every times we linked with players for high wage, they all exaggerating fees, like they did with Sanchez. we never saw them doing it with Liverpool, City or even Chelsea.
Woody laughs in the face of high wage demands...while writing the cheque.
So are journalists doing that thing they do with United transfers and adding his wages, bonuses and image rights into the equation as well?
I actually liked the look of Fabinho the season before last. But I am entirely unsure how he did last year for Monaco. Atletico targetting him always makes me think that he's definitely a very good player, but if Jose doesn't think he's the right profile of a player we want (Considering how many times we've been linked with him over the last two seasons), then I genuinely trust that deicison.

I like how in both of the main pages, fabinho, even though it's a signing, is announced in a very very small part of it. You'd think he was signed by Watford.
335 million ahahhaha I hate the press
You reckon other clubs wont go for Allison? Cmon

In the top left corner you have Klopp signs Fabinho for £44M!! No agent fees added on top, no wages added on top etc.
In big, right in the middle you have everything exaggerated and factored in when Manchester United is involved. Make no mistake, the papers know what sells.
There's no comparison. United sells far more than Liverpool does. Plus, obviously Bale is miles more relevant than Fabinho too.
Lemar and Fekir?
Where are they going to play these guys, in a 4-1-5 formation?

Why stop at 335 million, make it one billion!
Looks like Cahill is about to have the biggest regret of his career
The headline on the mirror article above.
Ahh I see
No agenda here, just recognise when things aren't going so well, considering the money in comparison both have spent, then I know who is doing the better job, whether we like it or not. On the result, my son & I were dancing around the room like madmen when Bale scored that overhead kick. Trying to be objective about the manages situation full stop.
