Yeah, said that in the other thread. For various reasons we won't be Real's best buddies when it comes to doing deals for their players. Think they are using us as a way to get silly money elsewhere and when we are the last team left willing to pay north of 50m and we still don't have a striker they will cave in.

I disagree. I bet there's no ill feeling between the clubs at all. The fax machine cock up was just that - a cock up. They never really wanted De Gea THAT much. We have dealt with Real Madrid a lot in the past and usually come to a deal, see Van Nistelrooy, Beckham, Ronaldo, Di Maria.
This will happen in my opinion.
Yeah, we signed him when we had arguably the best midfield four in europe. When we signed him the initial elation didnt take long to turn to confusion at where he was supposed to play and who was supposed to make way for him.
Yeah, i think when it came time to pull the trigger they wondered if a world class goalkeeper was really a priority to be shelling out on and backed off.
Agreed. Besides, Mourinho likes De Gea? That's nothing new. We do too!
Fully agree. A total risk and will block a huge sum of our transfer budget.
I might get a lot of stick for this but along with a Zlatan replacement, we should try to sign Vardy. Will come cheap and guarantees goals.
Thank you for asking. As I have nothing against the kid, Madrids second striker and Juventus second striker does not have to be an elite striker. Becuase he was/is a player sitting on the bench. Let me ask you a question. Would you spend 90m on Benzima? If the answer is yes then I cant argue with that, but if the answer is NO, how are you willing to pay his substitute 90 million?
If we are goint to compare him to other strikers in the market like aubameyang, Cavani, Kane, Suarez, Lewandowski, No where close to them, If we compare him to second tier strikers like Lukaku, Benzema, Aguero, or even Jesus the last city signing for only 40m. He is not fast like Rashford, his best work is inside the box, otherwise he is almost useless outside the box as he very poor linkup and that's why Zidane put him on the bench cause he had difficulties in linking up the play with the midfield. He is a good poacher, but nothing special. When I say average, cause he is not first tier strikers, not second tier either. And in a club like Man Utd we deserve someone much more better, if want to compete with best teams in europe.
Maybe a deal for ddg to go the other way next season?
Anyway, won't Morata basically just be a berbatov mk 2 for us?
Yeah but even then you have some sort of filter. Iirc Sky Italia is hardly a reliable source.
No, completely different players. Morata defends from the front. Works hard by closing down passing lanes. He's fantastic when counter attacking as well. Morata is very fast and at times played as a winger for Juve. Saying that, he is also very tall at around 189 cm. Basically everything Berbatov should have been.
All good, all good.
Dunno has he had any major injuries since that ACL injury he sustained fee year back?
No one cares but yes I would pay 90m for Benzema. He would transform our attack.
Mou is a known fan of attitude problems
Didn't hinder Rooney having a successful career with us or Vidal at Juventus and Bayern.
what/who is ABC

I don't even think that shows attitude problem. It says when he played he performed.
They're as easy as 123...
20m - guess they are still in 2010
This one is intriguing, as the references sound much stronger than for any other player.
James and Morata would certainly jazz things up, in an area that severely needs it
Pogba linking up with Morata again could be interesting
Portuguese papers are truly a crock of shite, and it's relentlessThe journalism course at Portuguese and Spanish universities must be an absolute piece of piss.
Tbh, like most players overseas. I didn't know much about him until he was mentioned in here. Then i just looked for him on YouTube so I'm far from the best judge on player ability.
I think Morata would score 20 goals in any attack in England.
Vidal was very professional while on the pitch, and he did get along with Conte very well.
The issue is that hobby of his of wrecking sport cars while drunk as feck
It would be quite funny if he failed the medical after all of this
On the contrary, that says that he did his job as a professional and performed when called upon. He is unhappy being a backup at Real Madrid as he has every right to be. Wanting to be a starter when you're good enough to start at most top clubs isn't an attitude problem.Mou is a known fan of attitude problems
Are we actually going to sign two players from Real? Morata seems the more likelier of the two
Hope so. I'd be pretty happy with Morata and James.
Unfortunately it looks like we are. We are signing Spain's Wellbeck. And James.
Based on what exactly? He's never managed more than the 20 goals he got this season and that was playing against far worse and less organised defences than he will be facing in the Premier League. He didn't score against any of the top 4 in La Liga either.
Although there's always the risk of them seeing us as a step down, or not wanting to leave, there's also the massive positive of buying players from the current Euro champs! They won't be overawed by the level of club
Are you for real?
He scored 15 league goals this season whilst being a backup player.
Welbeck has scored 38 league goals in...a decade
I would not want him for half of that!
