UEFA should fine us for improper conduct. This is robbery.

He's gone. Move on.

Personally think he'll become one of the best players in the world within a few years. José would work wonders on his game and hold him accountable on both sides of play.

Watch our excitement ratchet down about 10 notches if the fee is significantly less than what's been rumored.

Probably more evidence that Shaw will indeed be going there. He'll have a mentor and cover.

So what if he does? What, are we going to be jealous of their defense? On the pitch he won't be missed at all.

I hope it does mean he's released. It's time.

That's fucking ACE!

Definitely think they mean 50m EUROS. The £40m reported by BBC and Telegraph are more likely accurate.

Oh god....Sky now running it?

Man, reading that Guardian article on the last page it seems that Laurent Blanc lusts after Eden Hazard like I do Rachel Starr.

I just really want to see an incoming deal before the World Cup. If we sell Luiz I want to buy a world class CM and then watch him throughout the tournament with excitement.

I've been seeing a bunch of French people and PSG supporters all over twitter saying that there really aren't any reports in France about such a high fee and it's apparently only the English media reporting it. They think their club won't be paying nearly this much.

I'm a greedy bastard.

Why not just give us Cavani in a swap? I'd still rather have him than Costa.

Throw the £40m immediately at Vidal/Pogba/Rakitic/Kroos or whichever world class CM José rates. If we got as much money for Luiz as is being said then whoever handles our transfers should be rewarded a new Ferrari from Roman. Nearly doubling our money on 3 straight transfers is ridiculous.

Neil Ashton, Daily Mail, £50m.

Wouldn't mind Ba staying as 3rd striker. All he does is score no matter how goofy and out of control he looks doing it. Hopefully this means Torres is shipped out, but somehow I think we'll keep him and sell Lukaku idiotically.

Fat Sam should have eyes like dinner plates right about now. Fellaini is probably his wet dream of a player. Fellaini up there with Carroll = Fat Sam doing this

That Jan akkkjjgjbyghb tweet was indeed from months ago. I remember it. Nothing in it.

Double his current wages at least. He's apparently on peanuts at Bayern.Don't care, really. He's not going to demand Yaya or Rooney wages. I think he'd be awesome here.

I'd rather have an all rounder too, but all of those that are of the class we need would cost double what Kroos would.

To your last point: exactly! If we needed pace and grit in midfield against sides like City or Liverpool or need to overpower a side we could play Ramires in there or Luiz if he's still around. Against sides that we struggled against this past season that park the bus or defend deep and LET US HAVE THE MAJORITY OF POSSESION Kroos could sit back and run the show just as he does at Bayern. Ramires is totally useless in those games.

Think it depends on where he's played. He'd be a pointless signing for all of us if we planned on using him as a false 9 or AM since all three sides are stacked in that department, but if he's used as a CM than he'd be great for any of United, Arsenal, or ourselves.

Top sides in the PL including ourselves WILL have the majority of possession in most of their games. Think Kroos would adapt very well to this league as long as he has players around him to mask his weaknesses which we have.For £20-25m there isn't anyone better out there.
