Well ... 31st is still long way off

Come on, man!!! Offer them 200k plus wages and see them dance on one leg (most of the so call big mouths) ... Remember E'to what he mentioned, Rafa ... You know later on ... they can always say that there statement were used out of context!!!

Matuidi yes ... very good alternative but not sure about Joao ... For James, I believe (from whatever i have seen) he lacks the work rate and that why he wouldnt be a fit in Conte's system which needs the high tempo for 90 mins in the middle and wide ... We will be playing high up the pitch and would need to cover back a lot when we dont have the ball. Maybe we played the traditional no10 James would be a good addition but Conte doesnt believe in a pure no 10. That's one of reason I feel someone like Oscar can actually revive his career under Conte IF he is serious about it.

Dont think so ... Unless he plays 4-2-4 and puts him as second striker or CF but in the 4-3-3 he wouldnt have a chance. For me in the current crop of players, Oscar is the best suited alongside Kante and Matic because of his defensive capabilities (if Oscar can get his offensive side up that will be superb). If there is one player that we could/should go after who can fit into Conte 11 has to be Naingollan or a similar player. But looks like that is not happening.

Ivanovic:(

hahahaha !!! Yup ... Thats what we are reduced to now

Million Dollar question: Which season?

I feel we are going to have a rocking last week/last day in the transfer deadline ... It has been dull since our Torres/Luiz one guess the board wants to have some excitement

"Seriously Considering" ... Why shouldnt they, it is 50 f**king million pounds for a defender!!! No one will top that!!! Ridiculous!!!

I did in bits and pieces last season ... Is he good, Yes he is ... Is he that good that he can be drafted into the first 11, No he isnt. Good for a backup, maybe yes just to push the other players. I base the acquisition of a players on the risk that he brings, the risk in case of Kone is too huge would rather go with Terry/Cahill/Iva (despite they being shit)... Yes we need to take risks as someone mentioned above but for the club we are now it has to be more calculated (get in, draft the players with a certain % of games, work on it, try on the weakness, etc and eventually get him ready to be a regular starter if he checks all box)... we just cant get anyone, put him on the 11 and if we have to do that would rather put that risk on the "not so ready" youth players. We signed all those players from "unfashionable" team ... How long was it? And how many have we signed in the last 10 yrs who never had any hype around them. Forget Chelsea even in the PL itself how many players in the top team have been successful who have come from the lower team ... the ratio/percentage is very less. because it takes a lot to make a jump from the lower league to the higher ones Dont get me wrong, Kone might go on to be the best ... but right now for me the risk of getting him as someone who can replace someone in the 11 is just too huge. And we arent a club who have been taken huge risks with unknowns to less known players.

Isnt he in the same league of the Hectors and Djilobodji ... This is ridiculous, dont we have any decent experience CB out there who would be ready to make the move if we go for him!!!

Do we have a choice? Fab will never work in the 4-2-4 system which doesnt need a creative player unless he plays the second strike ... And how much ever we say Oscar doesnt put in more work rate and is better doing defensive duties.

I dont think it would ... because at the end of the day, Jose will win them the title and all those enemies will have nothing but to cover themselves in shit ... Thats what Jose does wherever he has gone and United fans need the title more than anything this season.

WTF!!! Where did this come from ... Bolt out of the "BLUES" ... 100% profit on this, nice!!!

Seriously!!! I thought we would be making like a 10% tops ... That's decent.

I'm aware of it but there is always a percentage that goes to the club ... If Adidas gets it all then let them fund it for us ....And if he can play the way he played in the Euros, he could be a good backup in terms of a player and experience specially when we're in the transition phase.

Shirt sales and Merchandise ... he still is a big player.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to sign him for solely commercial purpose ... Would come cheap I believe ...

It's a hunch ... I feel Oscar will surely be given a chance to revive his career by Conte ... dont see him going anywhere!!!

I feel the problem with Hazard and Fab in this formation is: - Hazard wouldnt have any space to do his thing which is his USP ... Opposition will just put 2 or 3 players to crowd him out (it can also work for us by having gaps but i feel the defenders in the PL are smart) - Fab in the center with Hazard in the middle as well means it will be too much work for Kante to hold the middle. We need a engine along side Kante who can work up and down. Naigolan would had been a great partner.

Perfecto!!! To his defense, guess he was just at the right place ... at the right time (just hope he makes use of this opportunity)

Damn Mahrez ... Why the F*** Arsenal, go anywhere else ... Go!!! Plz Go else where ... My fun with Arsenal Fan TV will come to an end

United are ... I dont think Pogba is like the next best thing out there ... For current generation the benchmark for "THE" next best thing would be Messis, Ronaldos, Augueros, Mullers and he doesnt come anywhere near to it ... Yes, he has potentials but I find him as someone who is over hype by the media (i might be wrong in the future). Also with every coming season we will see the prices of the "next Best thing" players reach insane level ... because there are huge amount of money being pumped into the Premier league and everyone wants to have a piece of it.

Well simple maths ... ... Transfer clause + Agent fee + Premier for getting a CL player + exact dough to keep other away and getting the first shot ... 32m in total

Would rather go for Isco if we have to ... who can provide better versatility than Rodriguez and would suit Conte's style of play as well ...
