Cherries are probably my favourite PL side along Soton now, behind Chelsea obviously. Begovic, Ake, Defoe, King, they realy have nice team.

If the likes of Southampton refuse offers like 60m for van Dijk, PL is gonna get alot tougher.

I dont know much about Vitolo, but I saw him few times when he was making waves and got in spanish squad. Not sure what to think about him, but IMO he would be a quantity buy rather than extra quality. 40m is alot of dope and we should simply target better players if we want to improve that RW. Im perfectly fine with Pedro for now, but if we have to go for someone to add competition and potential top quality, maybe replace Eden when he is injured or needs to rest etc, I would go for either Lemar or Bernardeschi. Two wonderful players, young, hard workers and effcient. Both are lefties, but can play on either wing.

Im telling you guys, chill and wait for club to announce the signings. Im sure most of the main ones are more or less done.

When we lost to them in last game, Fellaini looked like Messi compared to Matic...

Im pretty sure the deal is already wrapped up. Just needs to be announced officialy.

I only read Fabinho prefers playing on RB and Utd would play him there.

Alves seems to be joining City, I would love to see Vrsaljko from Atletico to compete for our RB/RWB spot, but with atleti ban, its impossible.

He had brilliant season 2015/16 and equaly good first half this season until his injury which kept him out for long time. Its not like he had good half of season and then droppped in form. Going by 1v1 duels, aerial duels and number of mistakes or how safe they play, Dijk is only behind Azpi and Alderweireld. Indeed Verthongen realy stepped up this season, he was better than Alderweireld in past months. Luiz has protection from Azpi and Cahill and althrough he has been realy good this season, he made some mistakes and wasnt realy that good when we played with 4 at back. He is amazing character, leader and fantastic on ball, but still has to convince me that he is out and out reliable defender. If he has another season like 2016/17, that would be great. Kos is good, but has too many brainfarts for my liking. Mustafi is also good but not better than anyone mentioned above. Bailly could become better than Dijk, but not yet. I always rated Kompany highly, but he has been injured far too much to make any kind of judgement. And all that said, we can buy only Dijk. To me he is fantastic defender, but that price is huge and he has been injured, which always gives some doubt. If it was last summer, I would have absolutely no complain in signing him. Then there is Bonucci, I think there was never an option he will leave or Laporte who is good, young and expensive, and like Dijk not realy proven outside of the league. If Dijk plays here the way he played in 2016, we will have hands down best CB in the league IMO.

Yes but even if they indeed know something about certain deal(s), they publish every possible rumour there is, true or not. Obviously at one point, they will get some of them right. Meanwhile sky or bbc go decide to publish news when rumours are more reliable. Doesnt mean they are 100% reliable, they do get some stories wrong from time to time, but much less than daily mail, mirror,... Generaly I realy hate press of any kind. They spread bullshit daily and blow every story there is. For example the name of article is "This great chelsea star is leaving club and join rivals", click the article and eventualy they explain its Solanke going to pool. And every damn article is like that.

If we actualy sell Matic for 40m and Ake for 20; along with Bertrand for 20, Costa for around 30-40....not to mention Miazga, Piazon etc We will be rolling in cash

We can always get Djilobodji now that sunderland got relegated

I would not sell him to United at any price, unless we use that money to buy another midfielder or RW of the highest quality.

IMO he isnt worth the quoted price, he should have some quality european performances for that, but before injury he was easily top3 defenders in PL, other two being Azpi and Alderweireld, you can throw Verthongen in the mix.

They actualy have two. Saint Maximin who had great loan in bastia. And Lopez who also had good season in lille. I expect one of them to start for Monaco next season.

I know Mou can talk bs, but I would believe him on that one. It makes sense why we sold him so quickly.

Its party time man

Sandro will leave Juventus. Or he will stay. -Michael Owen

Lukaku simply wasnt good enough. Or had poor mentality, didnt convince Mou on training. Conte isnt playing Bats either for example. Dont you think its weird that Conte insisted on playing Costa despite being out of form? And only gave chance to Bats once our title was more or less secured? I certainly trust Conte, despite all talent Bats had, he was not mentaly on the level to lead our line. The boy has alot to learn, but he must take every chance he gets. I hope we keep him as our second choice this year tbh. Lukaku was pretty much the same, but he decided to leave. Rashford is playing well and enough at United under Mourinho. Meanwhile Shaw and Martial are not, basicaly because of their attitude, despite they have talent. Mourinho clearly gave chance to players that are actualy level headed, like Varane at Real, Rashford at United. He might not be the best man for youth, he is pragmatic first, but those who truly show it, they play. Under Mou, I see Lukaku as immature boy, trying too hard, instead of keeping head down and learn. At one point he had enough and decided to leave, which was best for his career. But who knows, if he is as good as some say here, if he stayed, he might as well be a starter at Chelsea past season. I absolutely agree about Torres tho, he should left or got benched long time before it actualy happened. About Mata; http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/715399/Jose-Mourinho-Juan-Mata-Manchester-United-Chelsea-transfer-news-gossip "He was the one wanting to leave", Im not making it up.

I dont think Lukaku would cost that much. I dont rate Auba that much, or Lukaku for that matter. I would go for Morata.

Lukaku wasnt better than Etoo at that moment. He wasnt. And he decided to leave the year we bought Costa. Generaly there are many who didnt want to stay little longer here. Sturridge then, now Solanke. Mata too but he isnt exactly youngster. Im only saying they must earn starting place. You dont just play them week in week out so they can get their feet running and hit form. Its one or two games, if coach is happy they will play. Unless we want to be like Borussia and sacrifice the results. Rashford is staying put at United. He knew his chances will be limited and he didnt push for move. Neither did Martial. And Martial had much better season last year than Lukaku at Chelsea. Martial could get realy pissed and move out when they signed Ibra. And Im sure Luaku would be throwing tantrums if he was in Martial's position. But he stayed. Either our youngsters dont have the character or the talent. Back then Lukaku had almost no link up ability, which is crucial for top team. I understand he was kept out by Etoo and then by Costa. But he wanted to play week in week out, how is that Chelsea fault for not giving him play time? He wasnt good enough, simple as that.

28, not realy world class and they want something like 70m euros for him.

Still talking shit isnt he? First he posts a video that he knows will clearly spark the rumours, then he claims that as bullshit. And next week he will be revealed at Chelsea probably. Cant he just chill on holidays and wait for whoever announces his signature, since its crystal clear he is leaving everton?

Is our board realy so incompetent about these wages (first Tibo, then transfer targets) or is media just throwing bs daily? I didnt see City stalling for Silva wages, or Poo for Salah etc....
