Just read on Dutch site that Lukaku will go to Juve in exchange for Dybala, with Man Utd paying an additional 15M euros.

Also read that Pogba will join Real Madrid voor 130M + 35M in bonuses.

Nah, he wasn't good in CL either. Hope he gets his crap together, coz we paid top bucks for him. Demiral looked amazing yesterday, so far our best defender with Chiellini.
And lol at Spurs offering 80 pounds for Dybala, the dude is bad and he doesn't fit APL style at all, his foot speed and decision making is too slow. His free kicks and corners are elite though, also crossing, but that's it.


I can only laugh at posts like this :lol: :lol: :lol:

You slammed de Ligt when Ajax destroyed Juventus in CL. And now after one or two pre-season games you are slamming him again. Trust me, Juventus is so lucky to have him. He is the best young defender in the world and he will only get better. He's already around level of van Dijk. He will be the best defender at Juve, and it's not even close.

Too bad you don't deserve to have him there.


I hope you're right. At that price he better be at least 2\3 of Chiellini and soon.

Not sure why Juve do it if true, Lukaku has struggled at United and doesn't fit with Ronaldo at all unless they're planning on moving Ronnie out wide or playing a more conventional 2 up top.

Lukaku is not great, but we aren't winning CL with this midfield anyway. And enjoy Dybala, btw. I've watched at least 4\5th of Juve games over the past 4 years, so I know what I'm talking about. The dude is just not that good, he's overhyped. His free kicks and corners are elite, but that's about it. He can dribble but is too slow. And his character is not for professional sports. His constant pouting and unwillingness to go extra mile is very annoying. The dude had all the chances to become a top player, but he never took them. I mean sometimes 32yo Mandzukic was more impactful, let that sink in.

I really like Bruno Fernandes.

It would be really disappointing to see him end up at ManU as that club will ruin him.

Reliable Spurs ITK saying we're in for him right now and are the only team to table a concrete offer (45m euros which was rejected earlier in the window). Makes sense given that it looks like Dybala is now headed to United.

Not holding my breath given how transfers typically drag out for Spurs. Just gonna move these posts to the transfer thread.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/01/manchester-city-put-137million-price-tag-leroy-sane-amid-bayern/

Are there any indication by the player himself to leave City?
When i read the reports about this topic, i never find a statement by the player himself.
To me, i think it is now the same situation like Real Madrid's Kroos and Ramos. Both players were rumored with a moves to other clubs, but at the end they got contract extensions...

What a deal for Leicester. That's a big price bump since they signed him a few years ago for what was it, £10m?

I don't think there are any actual quotes from Sane's camp, but if you read between the lines I think he's keen to move to Bayern, and City don't want to sell him. Pep said that contract negotiations were going well, but since Bayern's offer was rejected it's hit the skids. He's either angling for more money or is unsettled at City.

Malcom joins Zenit for 40m euros.

Read on Twitter


He looks positively delighted to be there!

Roma were rather snide about it, I like it.

De Ligt, Rabiot, and Ramsey were superb additions this summer, but as far as all of the other things going down this summer. selling Spinazzola and now Kean(with no buy-back clause) are strange decisions to me. Selling Dybala for Lukaku baffles me as well.
However I do think Sarri will play Ronaldo out wide and wants a striker. Cancelo is another who I don't want to see leave, but is likely to. Does Sarri like De Sciglio like Allegri did?..he's literally the worst player on the team.

I read that we got buy back clause on Kean.
How good is Danilo from City though? I remember he was good in Porto, but that was some time ago and in Porto. Danilo+35 mil for Cancelo seems like a good deal.

Lol, ManU forums are very sad places to read, I can kind of feel their pain, seriously how tf did anyone think it's a good idea to pay 90 effing mil for Maguire, like how ? Who is running their FO? What's going on there? Are they criminals? Are they legalizing money or doing what? Jesus *ing Christ!!

Jesus....almost 100million dollars for a 25 year old defender who doesn't seem to have much untapped potential...what is United thinking? my first thought was Deng/Moz signings when I saw that. If they were going to spend that much for a defender, shouldn't they have tried to outbid Juve for De Ligt ?

Simon Mignolet returned to Club Brugge for a $7.7 million transfer fee

Liverpool then signed Adrian to back up Alisson.

Adrian was a free agent after spending last season at West Ham.

It's a lot of money but he's instantly their best CB. I think you underestimate how poor Manure have become defensively.

Maguire is also great in the opposition's box - he gets his head to more balls than anyone else.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

90 mil though, they could buy literally any other CB for that money.
