Neymar to United... Being reported that we've met the release clause (140M). And it's reported by a trusted Brazillian newspaper.

We've been muppetted far too many times. Everyone links to Utd and their teams end up paying what the player wants eventually. No way Neymar comes here.

When the richest club in England uses Blind as a center half and Fellaini as a 9.

just united things

Fellaini up front isn't a terrible option, especially in a no. 10 role, where he has had some pretty solid outings in the past

But either way, I think LvG opening up about that is probably just because the players United have been interested in are severely overpriced simply because United is sniffing around -- in talking about their in-house options, United appear less desperate. Could just be a mind game, really

PSG going for Coentrao is a bit disheartening, isn't it? PSG was poised to become a serious contender in Europe, but now they are just picking up scraps. With Cavani and Ibrahimovic rumoured to be heading out, the squad looks far less imposing on a European level

I dont get whats so funny about playing Fellaini as a no 10 or 9, hes best games for us last year was when he played further up the pitch for us. Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin and Carrick are all better suited for the 6 and 8. It also means he wont have to play that much defense where he is just too reckless imo.

As for Blind, hes been very good so far as a CB, but im waiting until we play Chelsea, City, Arsenal to judge him.

it's funny because he's not a big, sexy marquee name

I just think United having by far the biggest income have to make a splash after a disappointing season, and then Arsenals CEO says there's over 200 million pounds in the bank but then spends 0..

Like go out and do something.

I stick to what I said regarding city. If they get De Bruyne, they will win the league. But that is based off my expectation that Chelsea will not get Paul Pogba. In which case, oh boy would that be interesting.

^ I agree about splashing the cash, but on who? Bale, Hummels, Ramos, Muller, Neymar, De Bruyne, Benzema, Griezmann. All big name players we have been linked with, only one of those players (De Bruyne) will maybe be sold, I think to City or Bayern, but other than that im having a hard time to think of a realistic target who will be a HUGE upgrade on what we have.

I would personally love to see us go for Lacazette as a striker option, but Lyon stated early in the window that he wont be sold.

I also dont think last year was a dissapointment for us, the year before however is another story, I had us finishing 3rd or 4th with Chelsea and City fighting for the title. If we dont finish top 3 this season I will say this season is a dissapointment.

Arsenal was working on Benzema all summer and it was because of pay instalments disagreement according to the "ITKs".

So attention probably turns to Cavani now. And I would personally lobby for Krychowiak also but it seems Wenger too high on Coquelin and Cazorla with Flamini as backup.
