It would be great but Casemiro looks like a backup option to FDJ. Dont think we will spend ~200 million on Casemiro/FDJ/Martinez and still needing another 100 million or more to buy attackers. Casemiro/FDJ/<Forward> would have been ideal summer.
If De Jong still would come we’d 100% buy him and noone else this window
Why not? Of course the shambles we are in require 250-300m net investment - alternative to that is relegation and oblivion.
Then, we need to stop being shy of selling shit. We have at least 11 players to dispose of (and that’s not counting Garner, Elanga and youngsters) - certainly we can raise at least 100m in sales if Rashford is also sold
A win against Liverpool and we will have more points than them.
Great dribbler, not sure about the end product.
Lemar next then, funny how eager we are for atletico forwards when they have been generally underwhelming last season
Felix, Griezmann, Morata, Cunha, Carrasco. Only Correa and Lemar left before we've been linked with every single Atletico forward in the span of a few days. And it's not even fringe sources.
Id be happy if they beat us by less than 3 goals.
Business is picking up:
€80m rejected. Christ.
Ajax are batshit crazy
Silly to reject that
He needs to hand in a transfer request.
So we've still got a considerable amount to spend.
Ronaldo wanted to go to Athletico Madrid so united brought it to him
We are absolutely desperate now, almost glad Ajax rejected it , must surely be poor bang for the buck
Cody Gakpo screams meh.
Not 100% convinced about Gakpo. From what I have seen, he doesn't have the close control ability someone like Antony has when running with the ball. It's the same thing that gave me a bad feeling about Memphis when I watched him play for us.
Relegation ? Come on, it is just 2 games. If the current squad is relegation material, then Casemiro/FDJ wont be the ones to rescue from it.
250m net is way too high investment. If there are good players available it is worth a punt but with the players available spending money would not guarantee success. You will have players like VDB, Pogba whom no one will be ready to pay the money we bought for.
If we really bid 80 million and they rejected it , it possible they will agree for ~90 million. I dont think they are that stupid to turn down that fee.
On the other hand, we are pretty stupid in making those deals. No way we should be sign him for more than 60 mill.
Same. Saving us from our selves.
Complete Casemiro. Get Pulisic in on loan with buy option. Get a backup GK. Sign FDJ. That would be good for me.
It was reported that Ajax raised their price to 100m. They're not gonna accept 90 considering they did the same with Martinez.
Thanks to @Tom Van Persie and @Rolaholic in the Casemiro thread:
This is from José Félix Diaz, who's Tier 1.

Ajax just lost out on the swindling of a lifetime. Nobody is going to bid anywhere near that ever again for Antony. The club needs to put that money towards a good young central midfielder immediately.
Loser mentality!
The truth can hurt.
Lets get yoann gourcuff while we're at it
Further info from that di Marzio article:
Is there anyone we haven't been linked to this week? Must be someone in the greek third division left?
Agents trying to drum up interest.
All the good players.
Relationship FC.
FDJ
Why are we only now pulling our finger out?! Glazers under pressure? Frenkie falling through?
