Probably to soften the blow of Dybala rejecting us.
Mandzukic is hardly a "softener" two very different players. Meaning two VERY separate deals

Probably a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd..
Plenty of experience. Not prolific, but dont think he would expect to be a starter.. Not against the signing at all..
 
Mate, he is 33 year old. He is finished.

How so? So all players must pack in at 33?

He isn't prolific I agree but he will bring a lot to the team in terms of experience, which our strikers lack and as I keep saying he offers something different.

He will be a squad option I really don't see the issue.
 
If Lukaku and Dybala are a straight swap, then we taking Mario as part of the deal is a good compromise for all parties.

It's a 2 year deal with the club having an option for the 3rd.

Experienced and hard working option from the bench.

Ofcourse those that think 17 year old kids should be given minutes won't agree. They're still deluding themselves with romantic fantasies.
Seen time and time again kids get built up for them to turn to shit when the hustle and bustle of the adult game hits them week in week out.
 
He may be 33 but he’s a great option from the bench. If you’re a decent team, to get quality bench options you need to have an older Striker (or a Young, promising one). Just look at Sheringham - in his peak he would have never sat on the bench for us but once he was in his 30’s, it was a different story and he was still quality. Age doesn’t mean much to certain players and Mandzukic, a bit like Zlatan, will be fine until he’s 35 -36.

Teddy Sheringham was bought before the popularity of games like FM

And he has balls, unless most of our squad.
 
There was already media talk Spurs were interested in him when he said we were close to signing him.

You’d think Di Marzio was this places father the way he’s defended :lol: he gets things wrong, it’s part of the game.

I'm not necessarily defending Di Marzio, I'm just trying to say if I'm Ed Woodward and I call a journalist up saying we're 100% not interested in Bruno, we then proceed to sign Bruno two weeks later, but used the media in our negotiation, is the journalist then all of a sudden wrong and unreliable?
 
Lukaku for Dybala and Manzukic. Amazing. What are Juve smoking? This is such a bad deal for them. I understand the desperation to offload players but surely they could have gotten a better deal than this. Lukaku would frustate Juve so much in the CL when up against decent opposition. Would probably score a lot in the league.

It honestly feels like they are trolling the football world. Getting rid of MM and Dybala is mental.
 
:lol::lol:. I know now how English people feel here when we destroy their language.
Our media just quoting foreign media. Perisic signed twice for us last summer

I know you trying to be real about it but now its not a time to piss all over Bans party.
 
Oh noes football manager!

The funny thing about the FM jibe now is Ole 100% uses FM to look at players. There is video proof in the doc about his stint at Molde. He said since they don’t have much of a budget he used it to get an idea, he still watched players and all that but the FM = bad crowd had to deal with the current manager being a fan.
 
Mandzukic adds not just experience; but also a degree of nasty, aggression and bite which we have lacked since Rooney turned old, Tevez left for City and Zlatan got injured.

His hold up play and aerial ability will bring our other pacy forwards into the game as well.
