Real Sociedad received the written offer for Yuri from PSG and allowed him to leave to have his medical.
 
why would they even try? i mean even if everton would accept their bid what can they do when he dont want to join them? they cant force him to move to chelsea
 

Woody better wrap it up then because if he screws this up he'll be picking up his p45 in the post no way Mourinho will stand for him monumentally screwing this up.

No way Morata would join us now after all this. If Lukaku ends up at Chelsea Morata will snub us and we will literally have no striking option available.

Nobody has said he doesn't want to move to Chelsea? we have just had a bid accepted is all. He might prefer to play for them.

Maxwell replacement? Doesn't seem like a glamorous first team signing.

i'm pretty sure we agreed terms with him otherwise the club wouldnt brief the media about this?

Unlikely we have agreed terms but Lukaku and his entourage would of been contacted to make sure they were up for a move to United before the bid had been loged.

Yes he would come to replace Maxwell and is not very glamorous indeed. We probably have a lot of trust in Kurzawa.

I'm aware that many are reporting all interest in Morata is ended but I'm not convinced. It's an easy conclusion to come to. Not to mention even if we have stopped contacting Real it might mean the deal is dead but it could also be a negotiating tactic to force Real to lower their price to meet what we were originally prepared to offer. Wouldn't be shocked to see Morata rumours resurface in a couple weeks.
 
Who is more stupid ? Barcelona for bidding for him or the Chinese club for refusing the offer ?

Considering he seems to be the best player in the Chinese League and is undoubtedly essential to their performances I don't think that's stupid on the Chinese club's part at all. They don't need the money

Then it's Barcelona.
 
It's going o be interesting to see how Barcelona replace their superstars within the next few years. Their recruitment over the last couple years has been quite poor.

They're really set up for the huge club in steep decline syndrome the same way the Milan clubs did. Once Messi and Suarez are gone there'll be major reason to panic.
 
How did you draw up the calculation.

Well No calculation, it was just a joke on how we should be paying clubs to take Rooney off us. But we do save massively on his wages so its not too far off to be honest!
 
Morata did well on the left at juventus. We were being quoted €45-50m for perisic. Moratas younger and not much more. Lot of pace and power in those two.

Thing is, apart from Martial, we lack a direct runner, who has the ability to take on 2/3 players. I guess, we could have a direct runner one one side, with a wide forward on the other - similar to the Mandzukic/Cuardrado partnership at Juventus. However, I very much doubt Morata would be happy with that role, especially when I can imagine he has offers guaranteeing him a starting role up top.

Nothing wrong with the Chinese club refusing, will be good publicity showing players in their league good enough for Barca.
 
Not that similar, Lukaku more of a classical target man, Moratta the more dynamic.

What I mean is that, neither one is really known for running in behind or using their blistering pace to get away from strikers. The two wouldn't compliment each other, like say a Griezmann, Mbappe, etc would, in my opinion.

Yeah, sources are reporting we've dropped our interest. MoratOFF
