What we really need is Bale coming our way as part exchange for DDG.
No surprise here but Ederson to City is done now. Certainly looks aggressive off his line.
Edit: £60m for De Gea, not messing about. Fair play for rejecting it. At what point do you sell?

But he's a right-back?
Lille willing to offer €15 million for Santos midfielder Thiago Maia, Santos likely to accept this kind of offer, says ESPN Brasil.
Could be a bargain.
I like to think of him as an inverse Valencia. A RB who would make a great winger.
Isn't Semedo a Wingback/Rightback? Quick and will provide an attacking thrust but he won't start over Tony. He plays LB sparingly so unless we're looking at him as strictly a squad option, doesn't make much sense.
Yep. See above.
They're reliable but Benfica have been feeding them bull especially when it has concerned United in the last 6yrs.
I hope it's true and we do sign Semedo especially.
Dont believe for a second we are buying Lindelöf and especially Semedo. We have other positions we need to prioritise, Semedo is definitely a RB.
Yep....see my last.
I imagined you meant that, but Perisic plays on the left.
I see, Perisic plays LW and Semedo being a RB would be converted to a RW so we could get both.
They reported the same thing in January.
I don't hold much hope.
I want Semedo. I love Tony but he's poor in attacking areas.

Just had a look on Twitter - seems Semedo is being linked with Spanish minnows Barcelona.
His ability to stay fit is sinking every season. And hes as good as he used to be. I think i would rather DDG over him these days. I would be tempted with Kroos however
I think we are definitely going to sign a CB.
World record fee required if DDG doesn't push for the move. He's the best keeper in the world and we don't need the money.
Yeah, but that makes the whole report unreliable.
He's desperate for us to buy some of his players isn't he? Problem is, they're not that good.
Yes, I'm aware, but both make sense for us in terms of their positions. So for once it might not be nonsense.

It will be interesting to see how he develops, he's looked quite good the few times I've seen him.
I recall previous stories of their president flying here for bidness and it never pans out, maybe they are getting their Manchester clubs mixed up, City need a RB and Lindelof is the type of CB tha would suit Peperoni.
We'll be linked with these Benefica cast offs for another few days until they sign for another club out the blue, and in fact we were never interested at all. Same shit happens every summer.
Shouldn't sell to Madrid regardless of price. Not like we need the money... matter of principal. They think they can just go and sign anyone
When Dave asks us to I imagine.
O Jogo link us to Benfica players every year. They repeatedly said we had an agreement for Gaitan and Garay. Best to ignore them.
Exactly what I think! Real can piss off.
100m for Van Dijk...
Headline is saying that Guardiola will offer 50m?
Another £50m CB.
Summer wouldn't be summer without City buying another CB.
50 mill + 180k over 5 years = 100 mill, i got confused.

Was clear as day he would go for Van Dijk, Bonucci and Marquinhos are/were pipe dreams.
I'd say £80m if Dave was adamant about leaving. I could live with £75m if push came to shove but less than that and we are just giving him away.
We are talking about a player who is one of the best in his position, atleast top 3 in the world, he is still very young can go on for years and he is under a long term contract without release clause. £80m sounds fair to me.
I would accept any swap deal involving Moratta (+£30m) Bale (straight swap), Varane (+£40m) not interested in James unless Griezmann decides to stay at Atlético in that case I would accept for James (+£35m)
Dijk is a great CB but I'll never like the idea of paying such a sum of money in a defender tbh.
I want Bale in return. Despite his injuries i still think he's sensational.
I'd pay £50m for him.
I'll stick my neck out and say we'll regret him going to City or Chelsea (and I do feel he'll end up at one of them).
