Lining Raiola's Pockets - The 2017 Summer Transfer Thread

City wont with their attacking line up, Chelsea would have to change formation that won them something. And he is not a replacement for Hazard. Bayern biggest spend is 40 m and they do not know what to do Mueller as it is. Going to Real wont be a bigger betrayal ? And I dont see Real going for him, not their style of player.

I just do not see it, we will because we lack superstars, for other teams he is not a priority. The only other team I can apart from PSG is Juve to replace Dybala but that would be an inferior replacement.

 

Though @MizzouMUFC a lot changes in a season so you never know. Anyway, we either need to sign him now or just move on for good.

 

City just bought Silva when they didn't need him. It's never stopped them before.

Chelsea could absolutely use him in one of the front 3 in their current formation.

Bayern could absolutely be in for him one they look to replace Robben and Ribery.

PSG and Real could easily afford him.

Agree to disagree on this.

I do not see us going back for him next season.

Stupid reason if true, it is not that they won anything with him.

 

There was murmurings months ago about Atletico needing to sell due to the way they financed their new stadium. It will be interesting to see if anyone moves this window.

 

Certainly hope not. It's one thing giving a player a younger player an extra year before moving. May sound silly but paying 90mil for a player that would be 27 and losing one of the few peak years they probably have left would irritate me.

 

He's pretty underrated for my money because he plays in France. I can see him doing extremely well in the league at the very least, with his pace and strength. Could do a lot worse than him in my opinion.

 

Morata has agreed terms with Milan.

 

Saw that post on his Instagram page: that's pretty much him shutting down any talk of an exit at this stage.

 

So... down to Lukaku, Belotti, and Lacazette as the obviously available strikers. Not looking good.

I just have this feeling that we're going to end up with Lukaku. Nowhere else makes sense for him unless Costa leaves Chelsea, especially after PSG snatched up Auba.

 

Won't surprise me one bit if it ends up being Lukaku either at this juncture. Raiola is probably going to try and push that move as he knows he'll be getting his cut from United. Makes me sick our club are going to keep making this guy money hand over fist in that manner...

 

Lukaku will get goals but he will contribute nothing else to our attacking play. He would also be obscenely expensive compared to other options. We could and should aim for more.

 

Still don't see a list of #9s that will give us what we need. They are just not out there.

 

With the strikers that are left now, I'd make a big offer for Mbappe. He may be much greener (and more of a risk) than other candidates, but he's the one with the much bigger upside, by some measure. Biggest potential reward in the end.
It's worth the try at least, even if he may be Madrid bound when it's all sad and done. Woodward can always fallback on another option if it's a no go. Most of them are not going anywhere.

 

Woody still doesn't have the hang of this.

 

Lukaku seems very much a JM player to me. I can see JM wanting him. In thinking of who we should be getting, we should be looking at what the team looks like and who best fits it. Given what I saw last term and what I know of JM I think RL stands a good chance of being a JM target.

 

In theory, somebody like Sanchez would stabilize the attack and Rashford will get his 6 month chance to prove that he is the man for CF.

 

But if he does well, then there is no need to spend 80-100 mil on CF down the road.
