Dybala would be much better

Dybala would likely be a straight swap, Costa would be with cash. We want cash to fund Maguire/ Fernandes/ Yedder.
Why are you having Arsenal's spend be over 5 years but us 1? Also I said "imagine" hinting at the probability of them signing Pepe. And yes, if we go into the season with our two signings and they go into the season with their two, they've massively outdone us and it's embarrassing. Not sure how you can defend the board/club at this point.
The problem with Zaha was they couldn't afford how Crystal Palace wanted the deal to be structured.
You said we couldn’t challenge for 6th. So by that logic we will finish what like 8-10th??
Talk about over reacting. I don’t mind debating and agreeing to disagree on things but there has to be substance to it. Do you seriously think we won’t even challenge for a top 6th place if our squad stays the same as it is today?
Because that's what has been reported. It's no secret that arsenal have a spending limit this window. Every reliable journalist has said it. They have also said that arsenal would be able to finance this deal because the bid was to pay over a long period of time which Lyon have apparently accepted. Even if that goes they still wouldn't have outspent us EVEN if we don't sign anyone else.
I'm not defending anyone. I'm simply talking facts as I have no agenda either way
Can't bother looking for the clip but he was responding to a player being brought in as a transfer and agreed.
Douglas Costa strikes me as much more of a Utd player than Dybala. I get the feeling Dybala would down tools by January once he gets butchered away to Burnley on a rainy Tuesday, and then starts missing those pretty girls at his weekly Flamengo dancing classes in Turin.
I am not having a go at you mate. I watched all the pre season games and interviews. He was asked in one if someone leaves will they be replaced. He replied everyone that leaves will be replaced. He was asked in another conference directly how they would be replacing Herrera and he gave some bizarre answer that he can take parts of McTomminay and parts of Perreira to plug the gap.
Club is a state
So, you mean OGS himself is not very good in identifying proper transfer targets or stubborn enough not to switch to alternatives if primary options don't work?
We dont know who is behind the transfers but it would be a fair statement that we are not very good at either closing deals or switching to plan B. If we even have a plan B
Credible sources have only ever linked us with British players so far in this window. See Sancho, AWB, James, Maguire and Longstaff.
I can't find Ole's interview but he spoke about building a British core at United, to no ones' surprise our transfer targets have been exactly that... British players. It was an idiotic criteria at the time of finding a successor to Fergie, and it's still an idiotic idea this window.
Didn't see that second press conference so fair enough. Will just take your word for it.
It's very sad if true. I want Man Utd to have a manager, whose goal is to build a strong talented core. Nationalities of the players are the very last factor I would have even considered - it is absolutely irrelevant (as long as they satisfy work permit rules of course).
But you're facts are off as almost every single transfer worth a significant amount of money, basically release clauses being the exception, are financed over several years. Clubs are not just firing £70m chunks all over the place.
Some quotes
I'm in complete agreement with you, let's hope we pull our finger out and get 2-3 players in by the end of window. Although, at the moment I have very little faith in Woodward.
Would it be accurate to say that Milinkovic-Savic is the midfielder United want Pogba to be and that Bruno Fernandes is a less good version of the midfielder Pogba wants to be/thinks he is?
If United got both while selling Pogba for the same amount they'd be in a better position surely?

On paper, yeah Bruno and SMS look like a decent midfield but who knows how they'll adapt to the PL
Of course not. But if we buy any one of them while keeping Pogba, then yes.
Agree with the latter but not the former. Would ignore the links to both players because I think they are total bollocks.
I would say YES. Both would add goals to the midfield and I think they're the kind of players that would thrive in this league.
No. I wouldn't say so. Milinkovic-Savic is more of a budget Pogba, if you will. Not as technically as good or mobile, but puts in more of a shift defensively and is a greater aerial threat. Fernandes is a different player. Very good long shot, better play maker and good in tight spaces, but nowhere near the same physical presence as the other two.
I'm convinced that this is the case. There's no other reason I can think off for the delay, if the club are adamant about signing Maguire.
both great options....imagine having right winger! it would be like 2013 again!
He's already said in an interview in pre season that it doesn't matter what the nationally is.
No. Unsurprisingly, selling your best player for a couple of alright ones doesn’t put you in a better position.
"I'm not a xenophobe, some of my best players are foreign"
He's foreign himself.
who's the other guy?
dunno but he's a handsome bastard
His agent Federico Pastorello.
Not for the purposes of my bad joke.
Lukaku.
Must be pretty close if he's confident enough to be making posts like that.
Well that Dybala rumour seems to have worked.
