Standard stuff for United these days.Makes way too much sense to buy Verratti which means it won't happen...

Apart from there being zero sense for there to even be a market to buy him.Makes way too much sense to buy Verratti which means it won't happen...
Is this Ed's way of getting PSG to throw a stupid amount of money at us?
Better check our contracts for release clauses!
Ragspiracy.
Basically all of those prices are ridiculous, I doubt they could have been expecting that much.
We could outbid them with ease.
Who did we plan to sell, Aguero and De Bruyne? As soon as he said we wanted £21m for Nasri you knew he was talking nonsense.
Guardiola's buys deserve way more scrutiny than they are getting. Imagine the flack we would get if we shipped out Bravo and Nolito after 1 season, not to mention Stones.
They get away with it because no one gives a shit about City. We get criticised for everything because we're always news worthy.
Verratti is a dream signing.
Btw, are we selling anyone? If they have problems selling players...
Must mean they're confident of signing a striker then
Not sure its just about outbidding them. Didnt they get a bit annoyed at Barca over trying to sign Thiago Silva? Perhaps they'd rather sell to anyone but Barca because they can afford to reject any bid, but knowing as Barca players all have release clauses, they could concievably buy any Barca player they wish
I don't know - are you?
Getting Veratti would be pornographic.
DADDY DADDY WANT WANT.
DADDY DADDY WANT WANT.
Needs more wants.
After seeing A.Pereira play so deep for us, I must say I'm now not as eager for Verratti as before. Not saying he's not a wonderful player, though.
Quite agree Southampton have been excellent in this regard, and it's far from impossible. But it's still less risky to recruit from within, as a lot of variables are taken out of the equation. It's not something that is unique to football, but business the world over.
Paying less for a riskier option, in this case a player from Europe, can give huge returns though.
I guess if you can attract them, then buying multiple players from Europe is a good bet rather than one from within the UK. Chances are some will live up to the expectation. The difficulty is attracting enough of the decent players over to the UK, especially for teams in less glamorous locations.
That said, Southampton do a sterling job at it, so maybe others should try more. It also depends on whether you're buying to sell on (eventually), or buying to have the best chance at a regular starter.
Because he's the media's darling. We are still getting criticized for signing Pogba, but not a word on the money Pep wasted last summer and the players he's flogged already.
How is goal.com making it on here?
Juventus' priority is to sign a central midfielder this summer. They'll probably sign one of Matic, Matuidi or Can.
Stop it!
Can you imagine if we got Verratti?
Pogba Verratti Herrera
He's too small for a Mourinho player. He'll tell Woody where to go.
This just smacks of PSG trying to up the price by saying we're interested. Seems common practice nowadays.
Not a chance this tell them to fecking swivel for Christ sake woody!Perisic would do well for us but as I've said before, if they have the cheek to even ask for Martial, move onto other targets.
I think Inter dont undertsand how it works. We want to strengthen, not weaken ourselves.
This is getting more and more ridiculous. No way this is our primary target. We would have ponied up for sure.
Di Marzio is saying there's been "positive" contacts between Inter and Martial's representatives.
There's also something about Martial being available, but I'm using google translate so it could be something else entirely.
