Is the €68 million including the value of Otamendi or separate?
Either way, amazing how the Leicester result has made them spring into action
Well that was quick I guess they wanted to appease their long-suffering, angry fanbase.
All 60 of them.

Wow.
Wasn't Koulibaly being mooted for a similar kind of figure not long ago,looks like they really do have a bad relationship with Napoli after the Jorginho stuff.
Napoli wanted more for Koulibaly (90 million Euros if I remember correctly). Because Napoli weren't willing to compromise on their stance, City decided to pursue other options.
Yeah, this seems a little overpriced to me. Granted, Dias is good on the ball, but defensively, he isn't that reliable. The fact that he's 23 does give him time, however, so he can still improve.
That is steep! Is that a record from the Portuguese league? Pretty sure Bruno was less guaranteed money
Would be strange. Why not do it for every transfer tweet?
I wouldn't be averse to that either.
They should have just paid up for Maguire. I don't see Dias as being good enough to sort out their issues, I don't think he's any better than Lindelof to be honest.
I'm not convinced Dias and Laporte is a Premier League partnership. I've been going on all year about United needing a Ferdinand to partner Maguire but those two feel a little too much Rio, not enough Vidic for my liking.
Surely City can realise that it is Kompany they need to replace in that defence? I really don't think Dias is that player.

No before Newcastle bid we offered 10m but Norwich valued him at least double with add-ons included hoping it would trigger a bidding war because we were the first and only team to bid at that time. We sacked it off and bought Tsimikas instead for a lower fee. Norwich reluctantly accepted Newcastle's improved offer because no one else came in for him a month later.
Am I right in assuming this Kante stuff which is mentioned in the tabloids tomorrow is total BS seeing as it involves him taking a wage cut
Kante is 29 years old. Where did that time go.
Didn't Joao Felix cost much more?
Yeah. Also says that Chelsea want to sell him even though he is their first choice in midfield. Utter rubbish.
Yeah no way are they selling us a third midfielder in six years even if they bought Rice
I'd rather this happen and a bunch of our so called fans go and follow some other clubs to be honest. Such a large part of our fan base is embarrassing, far worse than anything Jesse has ever done. This is a guy who has lived, breathed and experienced the club more than anyone on this site, who the feck are you to feel you have the right to be like this?
Just leave it as saying we need better in the squad, that's enough. All the pathetic insults and vile abuse thrown is noise, pointless noise. Would I be OK with him being sold? Yes, no real issue there but I'll never openly and consistently abuse the guy, I've more respect for him than pretty much any Internet fan of ours I see. This club has been his life, why can't you lot just call for him to go respectfully?
Because you're fecking children, that's why. Parrot each other, too lazy and/or stupid for reasonable, original thoughts.
How much will they pay for Otamendi?
According to Hirst & Ducker, 15 million Euros (13.7 million Pounds)
so Dias is effectively €53m?
We don't know how much of the 15 million Euros is guaranteed, so Dias would be 56.6. million Euros net in total.
No, because City are in fact selling a whole player as well
I think he was joking.
Just do the 50/50 and let's move the feck on goodness. Kid gets to go to a decent size club in a great city.
No time to be joking. We’re all on edge here.
No no. Loan him out and risk he flopped again thus coming back and unsellable for the remaining of his contract.
Very good player that Cuisance.
Is this Kante thing real or just BS?
Agree to pay a nominal recent age of his wage but make it an obligation to buy at the end of the loan; he needs to go.
Loan deal with an option to buy with us paying some of his wages? I have no idea what we’re gaining out of this. Why not just let him stay and use him for the Mickey Mouse cups?
Actually didn't tweet anything about VDB until Ajax coach confirmed there was a bid. So do your research. He had no idea.
Said we'd agreed terms with Sancho and his agent in June. We didn't.
Didn't know Sancho had extended his deal last summer.
Hahahahahahah. How silly do you look now.
He's had no inside info on United at all.
I do expect a backlash!
He has used really vague wording at times so he can wriggle out if it doesn’t come off or vice versa.
How would you know this?
Why would he not reveal it? It’s literally his job. He’ll talk about Sancho, Telles etc but this player shall not be named? Why?
I have been for years, a long time ago. But err thanks for that?
Just on a side note if you think what I said was bad, I suggest you stay away from any jesse related on social media. I wouldn't dare imagine what your reaction will be to an insult that is far worse than he's young... deary me.
How do I know what? He didn't know about VDB before Ajax coach spoke out. Nobody had a clue about that deal in the press it seemed. Definitely caught everyone out that one.
As for Sancho there was a very obvious brief to the UK press only 3 weeks ago that there was a breakthrough with agent and contract. Romano said we'd agreed in June. He clearly didn't have a clue and just guessed.
And on the day Reguilon agreed to go to Spurs somebody tweeted him and said 'Spurs or United? And he replied' United'.
He's been wrong with almost everything United related. Its so funny at this point.
