Hulk!?

You guys do realize that Veratti is TINY right? He's even smaller than Mata yet plays in a position that you need to actually be physical and tough in. He'd get eaten alive by Yaya, Fernandinho, Carrick, Fellaini and the like. Don't know if he's cut out for a league this physical.

Lucas is the last type of player we need.

We won't be known for having a brain if we sell Mata without being properly compensated.

£50m if its them then. They just spent 35m on a teenage defender.

Where though? We wouldn't possibly sell him to one of our rivals without taking one of their best players in exchange.Can't see us being that inconceivably stupid.

We did just hear quotes from Zlatan in his new book about how much he loved Jose. Won't happen now that we bought Eto'o.

Is that you in your avatar?

Yeah, no way Wenger can complain about super high transfer fees anymore. Arsenal have now entered the modern football world.

This is shaping up to be such an anticlimax for us. Just one more!

We ain't selling Mata without a star player coming the other way. It would be worse than Rafa as far as supporter outrage.

I have faith, but it may be a big ask if a 35 year old Lampard is still first choice in our midfield like he has been these first few matches. Not good enough.

So we may see United go from having a weak central midfield to having a pretty strong one by the end of the day. Both Fellaini and Herrera look nailed on now.

I keep opening my twitter hoping to see "Chelsea have inquired about..." or "Chelsea are in advanced negotiations with..."

Exactly. He just got pulled a lot late in matches because he apparently has low stamina and fades at the end of games.

Crazy how they're willing to pay that much for basically an unknown, unproven player but won't cough up a little more for a top class player like Thiago or Fabregas.

Balague said something like "he'll be one of the best midfielders in the league within a year or two."

Ozil is one of the 2 or 3 best in his position in the world. Easily worth what they're paying.

We'd be pretty mad to loan Ba to Arsenal.

Mourinho to drop a megaton bomb on us and buy Mangala & Witsel. In my dreams anyway.

Pretty sure Sam Rhodes is a troll account.

I'd gladly take Khedira. Don't think they'll sell Benzema.

Ozil alone isn't scary. But if they get Ozil, Di Maria, a new keeper, and another striker they will be a formidable side. All of that seems very possible by the looks of it.They'll surely be title contenders after today I think.

City are probably kicking themselves right now. If they would've just waited they could've had Ozil and Di Maria rather than Navas and Jovetic.
