Really don’t feel as if Leicester’s the best place for Nacho Man. Weird mix of a poorly trained team and that he’d struggle to break into it, given their options. Needs to find a possessive team who are blunt as fuck.
Sounds like he’d be a good fit for United.
They’ve just signed Lacazette though!!!
Jon Walters to Burnley is the most Burnley thing it’s possible to imagine.
He actually scored 44 goals in 47 games, mate.
Chelsea have matched United’s bid for Lukaku.
I bet his agent’s really disappointed that one of the other two financial superpowers in English football have matched United’s bid…
Just need Bournemouth to join the party then
Talk of Dier to United now, £50m. Likely fuelled by the idea that if Utd nab Lukaku it’s unlikely Chelsea would sell them Matic or anything at all … other than possibly a dose of smallpox.
Would really not want to sell him either. 50 million or not he can play across the back and in midfield and is still v young. Would be silly to sell him as he also seems happy at the club
Please set in the trumpet
?
Sorry, was singing that to the tune of Mambo No. 5
this came out before the “official announcement”. game’s dead.
Rueben Neves and Willy Boly: IN
Willy Boly? Willy Bollocks!
On the plus side, raiola now has a massive influence at united with 3 first team players and Romero on his books. I’d feel uncomfortable paying 75 million for Lukaku - don’t think he’s worth that much even in today’s market and we’ve passed on him multiple times already. Probably even better for him that he’s gone to united since there’s less pressure on him to perform (see pogba’s frankly criminal season last year).
On the other hand, you can’t argue with that goal record and I’m massively worried that conte will leave as a result of all this.
Hmmm.
Johnny Howson to @anon64105032’s lot confirmed then. I’m a little sad to see him go HOWEVER I feel maybe his best years are behind him. He’s probably got 1 maybe 2 good seasons at a push left (I hope :’( )
*£100m
Not unrealistic that United could spend £300m on Lindelof, Matič, Perisič, Jamés and Lukaku.
My word.
How many of 'em would get in Real’s, or Barca’s, or Bayern’s team?
