Some players value playing time more than a pay check. However, I doubt his wages would be drastically different.

He could take a cut and return to Atletico, should the inevitable Griezmann transfer happen. PSG or Real are options as well

I would be very surprised if Aguero remained at City. Clearly isn't first choice and he's far too good to be a bench player

City, unless Pep has intentions for playing a false nine for large parts of the season.

Potential £50m fee plus 20-30m is where I got that price tag from. This Dortmund side aren't at the level they were under Klopp, so that's why I said average in comparison. This conversation is about preference at the end of the day, and I would much rather prefer us to spend a similar fee on someone like Fekir; has a two good seasons under his belt, more than promise at this point and has delivered in Europe. RLC was chosen to go the WC, so that says enough about how players are perceived over here.

We are becoming more of mess as each window goes by. If Marina heads our dealings, she needs to be replaced ASAP.

I respectfully disagree. Talent is certainly there but we shouldn't think about spending £70m~ on that alone when better players with a track record are readily available for less. Where do you see the "LOL"? I never diminished his talent or potential, but to think he's worth £70m at 19 having shown flashes at an average Dortmund is what I find hilarious. Dembele outshone him in a season and rightfully earned a move on the back of it. Bayern are interested in most players that show promise in Germany. There's a reason they bought Gnabry, despite him being an Arsenal reject.

They have no backup for their attacking options. Saturday was evident of that and Fekir is just talk as of now (isn't a replacement for any of them too).

Michy plus £20-30m isn't value. Could spend half of that, get Bailey and spend the rest on someone else. He certainly is a decent player but hyped because of his nationality.

I was referring to PSG. There's no way Ronaldo will end his career Real, one way or another.

Would be the smart move. However, we know a "name/brand" normally comes first when Real are concerned.

Bale's heroics tonight has probably thrown a spanner in the works for Zidane & Perez. His value has risen thanks to that cameo, for sure.

It's the perfect time to do so. Think there's more to it than another pay rise

Ok. I expect them to go all in for him, if Ronaldo isn't bluffing.

Utd have money but not that much. Neymar is probably off to Real & Ronaldo going the other way. He's the star player, not the only player.

It is on Youtube

Another player with "potential". Unless Sarri is going to give our youth players a go, we should be interested in players with a more experience that can hopefully take us to the next level.

He's not even at the level Hazard was at when he joined, so to say he's close now is going overboard.

Fair enough. I've seen Ziyech play quite a bit for Morocco & Ajax over the years to see his talent. Sarri isn't going to transform someone overnight IMO. He's similar to Cahanoglu, another one we were heavily linked to before his ban and has since gone to Milan with mixed reviews. I'd still prefer Nainggolan to fill that area for the right price (£20-25m).

Might be compared to the latter but Depay is probably the best player to come out of the league for a while.

Jump from Eredivise to EPL for playmakers hasn't been successful recently (Delay, Klaassen, etc).

I think the jump would be too big for Ziyech right now

Luiz going the other way could open a few doors for us.

To please you; we got him because he was a back up. Did he do his job in creating when we joined (24 assists in his first season)? Morata has been a failure so far however you wish to look at it, so please stop trying to defend the indefensible. If you believe otherwise, credit to you
