We should put in a cheeky bid for Sane should it happen. We need a winger.
What tattoo?
No shit. I posted a couple days ago that this should be the case. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Seriously unprofessional, by both parties. Why is Neville rising to this nonsense?
We have him, they don't. Does it matter?
So long as we move forward as a team.

Doesn't really matter though since that's not what's being proposed
Nev offered out by bloke who thinks he's a bit Statham, but looks like Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka.
This dude is not too happy at the link, has Aurier in a gooner jersey
Some have the Chelsea fans in the tweets have inflated the Matic fee to 50m 
By the end of the season we will have paid 100m with any luck
Not sure why they are so salty they lost out on Lukaku and Matic. They did us over with Hazard. Accept it and move on.

Yeah the salt over those two is unparalleled, even by the standards of Premier League fan twitter. Any post about United is immediately bombarded by Chelsea fansSome have the Chelsea fans in the tweets have inflated the Matic fee to 50m

It's obvious to everyone Conte didn't want Matic. He simply said those comments because he doesn't want the blame when it backfires. (At least it seems obvious to me)
Brazil NT prefers flair, skillful, eye catchy forwards perhaps?
Mourinho just came out and said he took advantage of something going on internally at Chelsea, that Conte didn't want him out.
In any case, I love to see these itk jokesters get their bs inside scoops turned upside down. The whole 24/7 news shit is such a drag. Thank goodness the season's started
Problem is I doubt he is interested in just staying as squad option. I don't think we play wing back system much. Playing conventional winger system he's more natural than our wide players, but arguably he's there to compete for game time than actually mainstay. Ability is one thing, being happy with the role (squad player) is another thing.
Would be a pretty pointless buy imo.
Spain was better at the time, so he chose Spain.
Brazil (Scolari - their NT coach at the time) was pretty pissed with the choice.
That maybe a factor, but what I previous read that Brazil NT was not interested, seeing him earned no cap whatsoever until it's too late when Spain NT enquiring as they lack of no 9. It was then a no brainer to choose. Spain as it guaranteed him the position in the team as well as playing for a better team at that moment.
My point is that beside the talent drought period, Brazil NT prefers different type of forward than D.Costa. They doesn't exactly like target man. They more often than not doesn't employ aerial football that much. Their now forward is Jesus. Pretty different than D.Costa
To be fair, Scolari kept picking shitehakws like Fred ahead of him.
No, i just didn't check
. Was going by intuition, remembered £100k a week=£5.2M a year, so £10M=(roughly)£200k. Then forgot to convert to euro Btw, you're also wrong, €10M is £175k a week at the current exchange
That was my point wasn't it? If Brazil NT associates were truly in it from the start, they would have get him way way before the time when Spain also come in for him. They were too busy looking around for the Brazilian forward and left it to last minute.
Think he could potentially be a great signing, very impressed whenever I have seen him. Rough around the edges but in terms of strength, pace, power and using that to get himself between the ball and opponent, see a bit of Jaap Stam in him.
Not sure it's obvious.
If so it's absolutely bizarre and extremely naive for Conte to ditch his best centre forward and most consistent CM before the sessions begins. Considering both replacements are downgrades and he's supposed to be building a squad for European competition.
I think what is obvious is there's massive issues going on at Chelsea. Costa, Matic, Azpilcueta interview, Conte being given a pay rise with no extra contract length..
When May comes, Conte won't be Chelsea manager.
If a player earns £87,500 after tax, the pretax pay, assuming a 50% tax rate, is £175,000 not £131,250. The tax is half of the total, then deducted to leave the after tax amount, not half of the after tax amount added on.
So £175,000 a week pay, with 50% tax, is £87,500 in tax, and £87,500 pay.
Still not quite £200,000 but much closer
'Man Utd target'? Got to have those clicks.
That's some really interesting maths you've got there.
A quick google search shows the max tax rate in Italy is 43%.. so that would be about 150k pre tax
Afraid I cannot post any links or twitter posts quite yet. But thought its worth mentioning that Milan is on the ball again.
It is said that Villarreal are offering a loan with a €17-18m obligation to buy next summer.
According to Milannews.it, Sky Italia (Di Marzio) and Alfredo Pedullà, the deal seems like just a matter of time. He did not train with the team yesterday and have cleaned out his locker.
His exit makes room for a new striker. It has been rumoured Auba etc but it looks to be Kalinic, 29y from Fiorentina. A bit of a let down I have to say. Montella loves him tho, so we'll see. Talks in Italy that it might be both Kalinic and Dolberg of Ajax even.

To be honest I think reports that we were in for him were probably bs. While undoubtedly he's a world class fullback Jose has repeatedly said the the atmosphere and togetherness of the group is extremely high. Signing Aurier would be a huge risk of upsetting that balance, not only because of his previous attitude issues and issues with Ibra but also because it would mean displacing Valencia who was our captain on Sunday and by all accounts is one of our leaders on the pitch.
Paris United were the only ones reporting and Jose has also said many times he wants one more player to play on the wings and that almost certainly would be a left sided player
So do we according to everything.
I believe that tbh, Conte has already shown extremely bad judgment by telling Costa he isn't wanted before getting in a suitable replacement, so it's easy to believe he wouldn't want a solid midfielder too.
I think this is more likely Chelsea than Spurs.
