Deals involving player swaps are very rare nowadays because of the complexity. Yes, they could get Cuadrado, but I haven't seen anything remotely credible linking us with Pogba.

Seems like this might actually happen. Very pleased!

I don't think Arsenal are reliant on Sanchez though. They have lots of creative midfielders.

We're still too reliant on a few players (Hazard/Matic) and if one gets injured I can't see us winning the title.

I think it'll be the same as last year (except Costa likely out). i.e. Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta Fabregas - Matic Willian - Oscar - Hazard Falcao I also reckon Falcao will get the nod ahead of Remy.

Hi guys I really want to watch this match but am on holiday in France. Does anyone know if this is on French tv and if so which channel? Thanks!

The guardian are very reliable. Clearly Man U have approached the Guardian with this story because they are sending a message to their fans, Rooney, and Chelsea. It does not mean the deal is definitely off, but it does seem very unlikely at this stage.

Anyone got a link to a stream?

Dude, it's on iplayer.

Looks likely as he's already had a medical. Nothing certain, but I'm expecting it to be official just after the olympics.

I think it will be official... ...but, only after the olympics.

Blind optimism? The fee being talked about is rather extreme - £25mill is a hell of a lot for someone who has never played in europe before. Mata was an established top european player - clearly far ahead of where Oscar is now and sold for less.

Not true. Look at how few goals Drogba scored this year. I watched nearly every game last season - there was a clear lack of service. Anyway back to Oscar! £25mil is a hell of a lot for a player who's young and never played in europe. I'd be glad to have another creative/technical player but it's definitely risky business.

We already have Lukaku and Sturridge who are better. Why are we interested in this guy???

Or is there...?
