Wait who is he talking about?
it worked
Diop and De Ligt would cost less than 150 million as a pair. There are numerous other options out there. Maybe not in the top 5 current best, but defenders where you can see they’ve got a very good chance of making a big step up. I’d rather the club upgraded our entire central defence, over signing 1 player and hoping that his partner will improve.
Renato Sanches was all about pace and power, not Felix who doesn't even have power nor enormous pace to begin with. Renato's passing skill, ball control have always been average. Moreover, he was already signed by Bayern before his euro goal.
Markovic I thought considering Liverpool bought him
I'm not a huge fan. I don't think he'd be great for City.
it worked
It was already in the works.
do not believe that for a second. Firstly that we bid 110m euros and secondly that De Laurentis would reject that.
Isn't Napoli's owner well known for leaking bullshit stories like this to drum up a market?
Last year it was that midfielder.
James Robson is a total chancer. Makes it up as he goes along.
Schira is not especially reliable. Think this "story" has been planted by Koulibaly's agent or even by De Laurentiis himself in order to draw some interest
How on earth is that done to draw some interest? in what world would another club go "oh they only want 150 million I didn't know that, I better get bidding". It's probably like 99% of everything we read in here and bull@£$t.
Not having a go as I read every tweet myself but unfortunately that's exactly why the majority of these are made up, it's entertainment.
That's basically their way of asking clubs to bid 110m euros .. Not happening.
DeLaurentis would be absolutely mad to turn that down for a player that's already 28.
I think they would highlight the same about Laporte if they played against him.
That would be my biggest argument against Maguire at City; too similar too Laporte. Could do with someone more agile that is more complementary too him than Maguire. That being said, considering how they dominate games it probably would not be much of an issue.
I have a feeling you're confusing the Napoli owner with the Lazio one. The midfielder was SMS.
Can a football club ever have too much money?
Its pretty cool and noble out of them in fairness but from a business and financial point of view its a bit unusual that they wouldnt aim to get as much for their prize asset as possible.
To be fair I don't think they have much choice. Just because they can accept a higher off from England doesn't mean the player will agree to it. They aren't slaves. They get a say too. Ajax clearly know he's got his sights set on Barca so are just not bothering delaying the inevitable. Probably get some young Barca gems on loan as well.
"A senior United source told the MEN Bale should be filed low down on United's list as the club focuses on younger recruits in the current window. "
Good point.
Good, it'd signal a change in attitude regarding our transfer strategy.
Criminal. That leaves us with 3 injury-prone CBs and Van Dijk. If the latter is out for one reason or another, the prospect of Matip-Lovren or Matip-Gomez doesn't really fill me with confidence.
Unprepared club.
If he's a fall back option and not just a youth prospect that's really worrying.
Rob Dawson: "Manchester United have not given up hope of extending Juan Mata's stay at Old Trafford, sources have told ESPN FC....
Sources have told ESPN FC that United are nearing an agreement for Swansea winger Daniel James, who has also been courted by Everton and Newcastle and is likely to cost around £15 million...."

Pepe?
Wonder what was the need to obfuscate that info at all.
Because it was bullshit probably....
Castles said we enquired about Pepe last week...
Manchester City have had £1.3billion injected into the club by Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi since 2008 mufc have had more than £1billion withdrawn from the club since 2005, when the Glazers took over
2.3 billion difference.
2.3 billion difference.
Good call - I had forgotten about that Castles article. So no Pepe and no Sancho this summer. Our wing options are looking mighty uncertain at this point. I wonder if we will push on and sign someone anyway just to add a warm body, or if there is a point where we will shift strategy to give Chong more time at RW and perhaps find an older veteran to provide a steady head and mentorship. Hopefully our scouts have a long list of viable wing options.
That's what I was thinking. A Laporte - Maguire pairing would be really cumbersome.
