It seems Mourinho's blast has prompted Woody into action.
doubt it. If anything mourinho might have been aware that things were getting closer with some targets so got Duncan to release this to make it look like he was pushing ed further.
However, much nore likely he's just getting excuses in early.
If things are moving RE morata, then it may give a hint as to why things are also moving with Perisic. One thing i've really been surprised at with what people haven't talked about on here is hiw much we are willing/able to spend. Bar the two inaugral seasons for LVG and Mourinho, utd the Glazers have not been willing to spend much. I see no reason for things to chane here.
Top priority is Morata. What we spend on him will dictate if we are willing to spend on Perisic.
This also explains the Greizmann issue. We were never willing to spend 100m on his release clause. We were hoping to strike a deal with AM to pay less or over a long period of time. Once the ban was upheld we said no, greizmann got to lool like a saint and got a nice pay rise....whilst not increasing his release clause.
My prediction will be 65m on morata, 40m on Perisic, 30m (think it was that?) on lindelof, and 25m on matic. 160m max, probably 100 after sales (of which de gea will be one)
