Rumoured Mehdi Benatia

[nyikolajevics 2,576]

LOL. I think he alluded to how often that phrase was used when we were in search of pivot players.

That's what I hoped but you never know on talkchelsea... It's hard to decide if someone is sarcastic or not.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

You can just tell by how calm and relaxed Van Gaal is even in defeat that he knows some big names are coming in.

Benatia, Vidal, and Di Maria and they're favorites since they'll have a game a week for much of the season. Wouldn't be surprised if they brought in even more players than that.

If they get all 3 suddenly they got top 5 players in the world in every single line-GK, defence, midfield and attack

[Fernando 6,456]

Well if Chelsea don't get him then better he goes to United.

United is a laughing stock right now and not a team to take serious.

With a strengthen United it will make the league more challenging.

Thus it's good for the continue growth of the overall league.

Not to mention that's what Mourinho likes, competitiveness.

[nyikolajevics 2,576]

United is a laughing stock right now and not a team to take serious.

That exactly why he should stay in Rome.

[Fernando 6,456]

Well if you don't want competition then yes, but if your like me and Mourinho that wants competition we don't agree.

I want competition, sure, but come on! MU have won 5 of the last 8 Premier League seasons.. I like watching them blow for a year or two. Just like it was funny when Liverpool sucked so bad.

Though if we bring in Messi, Rues and T.Silva i think we'll be the favorites again... so im calm, there's enough time in the window for that.

To be serious, i'll be surprised if one of them will come to United.

This. Lol it's not easy to bring in 3 world class players in two weeks. What if they don't want to play for a non CL midtable side? It will take a while for almost an entirely new squad to mesh. Man U don't scare me .

[Pizy 18,368]

It'll be easy because they'll pay ridiculous fees.

Their idiot of a chairman will want to make a splash or two.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

So why they couldnt do all that until mid august? they knew they need players.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Panic button has been pressed after todays result at the theatre of dreams……"Shit, LvG isn't the saviour lets buy players"

I'm loving it me.

There's your answer.

The closer we get to the deadline, the more desperate they'll become. After their loss and with how poor they looked in certain areas they'll probably go out this week and throw loads of money around.

[nyikolajevics 2,576]

I just can't understand what they are doing.. Van Gaal wants to use 5-3-2 and they only have 3 CB's(Jones, Smalling, Evans). They'd need at least six quality player back there.

It obvious that they have to sign CB's but there are only two weeks left. Clubs will ask for more money from United because everyone know how desperate they are.

@Sport_Witness

Gazzetta say they can't get a reaction from Roma on English claims of Benatia to Manchester United, and they say Chelsea in talks too.

@Sport_Witness

Corriere dello Sport say Roma have denied English media claims about Benatia.

I hate silly season.

[Myself 793]

He would've made us better, and we'll need someone like him in the future but right now we're good.

United definitely need someone like him though. Gives them pace and leadership in a position they're sorely lacking it.

Zouma, Kalas, Omeruo. In the future I'm sure they'll be good enough to make our starting 11. Especially Kalas.

[mannyfreshh 164]

We don't need this guy.. Let's develope kalas, zouma Christiansen better.. If the rumor of united is true, that's where he should go.. They will overpay, and he will start instantly there. Out team is loaded at the moment in every position.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

So he signed for United just like Vidal and Di Maria last month? Well then.

This is probably another bs rumour...

[Special Juan 27,424]

Vidal, Di maria and now Benatia…...
