People would take Sissoko, because of two Euro performances, but wouldn't take Giaccherini, because of the same. Ironic...

Used the translator, so the withdrawal translation of ritiro is wrong? Dunno, sounds like somethings up. Could be me, ofcourse..

Faouzi Ghoulam(Napoli's LB) has just posted a pic with him on Instagram, saying his goodbyes. Not so good on Italian, but it seems to be the case. Something has happened.

Agree, I've always said that Koulibaly is the best choice and I'd want him too, but we could find other defenders. Ofcourse, my personal opinion. Doesn't mean I'd want him to go to Everton. Hope he wants us.

He is quoting Mercato or own words? Either way, if the footballer doesn't want to go to Everton, what they bid doesn't matter. At the same time, if he does, than Napoli will milk them big time, and I'd be okay if we look at someone else as long as it is a quality buy. Koulibaly's the best choice, right now, no doubt, BUT there are always other options. If we are to sign him, I don't want us spending over the moon for him. 34mil. Pounds plus bonuses is an amazing offer. If Napoli don't want it, they can fuck off.

We're going off topic here, so I am making this my last post on the thread. People get me wrong, Ill be the first one bashing the board or praising them, when they do bad or good. BUT, for the first, in a lot of time, we have concrete manager targets, who we are chasing, ofcourse its going to be a hassle. Ofcourse we aren't going to get them immediately. If we blow out the cash at everybody, we'd again be the cow to milk by every selling club across the world. I admire United's profits and City's, but fuck me, if we can lower some fees to a reasonable price and play hardball, then I'd prefer it. Ironic that Manchester clubs mainly have to pay astronomical fees or buyout clauses. As far as Koulibaly goes, we have made the neccessary arrangaments with Napoli, as the RMC journo said. Hopefully, we'll get him, so we can moan that we haven't bought Prime Nesta.

Jesus, this forum makes me want to barf at times. A reliable source reports we've made contacts. No reaction. Shit source says EVERTON will outbid us for him and everyone starts moaning. You people have no pleasing.

We've approached Napoli for him. Arsenal and Everton interested, but no offers from them. Some reliable guy on twitter, but I can't currently link to the tweet.

He was okay in deffence and trash in attack. Ofcourse, personal opinion. I wouldn't have him here, and you can ask any Newcastle they'd sell him immediately.

No. Awful player. Watch him regularly and he is shite and inconsistent. Not to mention last night, where he barely had a correct pass.

Won't leave Juve. Willing to bet.

Don't believe the stories of Marca, but neither from the Mirror. Doubt we'd get him, now that we have Bats, unless Costa is leaving.

This. BUT, the article by Matt Law(don't know how reliable) says he'll snub 100k a week from Leicester for us.

His agent is hyping him up. Why do people still believe this.

Pjanic had a buy out clause? Roma have said 45 mil. Euro with no bonuses?

They want 45 and have made it clear. Don't see why people are surprised. Are we going to make a 4th offer?

According to Di Marzio we will abandon our pursuit for Nainggolan and chase Witsel.

LLa Republica aren't reliable, though. Plus, Lazio want 25 mil. Euro for the player.

Imagine we are actually ploting a 3-3-4? I think Pedro may very well be off, along with Cuadrado, which will make this move a very good one, imo. Candreva is a great technical winger and unlike Willian and Hazard, he hugs the touchline, relying on movement and pinpoint crosses. Not a bad dribbler, neither a bad penalty taker and definitely and experienced player who can play whereever needed. I would like him here, but if he is coming I am expecting us to play 3-5-2, don't know why...Just see him on RWB and Azpi/Baba being the defensive outlet on the LWB. Guess, it is just me, but I would be happy with getting him.

Despite it being paper talk, splashing the cash on Gomes, Nainggolan and Morata(125 mil.) and shipping off Oscar and Matic/Obi Mikel will make the transfers of 3 key players be something close to 85-90-95 depending on what we snatch. It's good bussiness and would improve us immencely.

Same papers that said Done Deal, say he'll resign. Guess, we'll do everything after the EURO.

If Madrid intend to buy him, but NOT keep him, we may well be aware of such intention AND negotiate with the club and have a meeting with the player's agent, in order to have everything ready for a potential transfer. It just can't go all through, until the 1st of July.

That's more like it, this is the type of argument I wanted to see. As I have not seen enough of him to judge, I just see people's ratings and talk and the odd match. From what I've seen, he's a good tackler and also technical and creative and is that's a reason for all the hype, basically his all roundness. On the other hand, I've seen conssistency issues.

I value everyone's opinion, when there are valuable arguments.

Half the world is hyping Gomes up, but Petrescu from Romania, football expert is saying he is dog shite. Don't get me wrong, it's just baffling. Willing to bet you'd be one of the first laughing off the board, if they fail to sign him and he shines at United. Not to mention the fact, that SO Many players had shite first games at the EUROs. Doesn't mean a thing. People are saying he is good, people who understand football, seems to me like he is up for the job.
