Gunner89

Just making a new one to get away from the clutter of the summer thread.

Here's some deals thought to be in the pipeline-

Like the look of that Watford team. Iturbe would be an interesting addition.

Clrnc

Very interesting. He failed at Roma because opponents don't give him enough space, he thrives in a lower team.

Gunner89

Dimarzio correspondent saying Iturbe deal is agreed and will be finalized after Sunday.

Clrnc

Seems like Milan will sign Vazquez to replace Honda who is leaving. Good that he will get a bigger platform to perform.

Klaus

Love Vazquez. Don't want to see him at Milan though. It's the touch of death for good footballers nowadays. They ruin everyone with their shit brand of football and their weird, seemingly random squad building. It's like they've just assembled a bunch of players without any clue of how they will fit together as a team.

Bryant

Klaus, it seems like Man U is closer than ever to Felipe Anderson. 🙁 Apparently his release clause is 35m pounds or something like that.

Man City is also in for Isco too.

Claudius

Doesn't really matter who United get. Last thing they need is another AM.
Isco to City wild be baffling given the presence of Silva, de Bruyne and Sterling. Maybe they would dump Nasri and Navas, both of whom are a waste of foreskin.

innervisionscm

Silva's pretty finished at this point, it'd be a sensible transfer from their perspective if they believe in KdB at 10.

Clrnc

El Shaarawy is available if anyone is interested. Monaco won't be playing him again this season so he wants to go back to Milan.

Klaus

I haven't read up on him yet. Why won't they play him? Did he get into a fight with the manager?

I think he's an incredible talent, or used to be at least; he's possibly the most exciting attacking talent Italy has unearthed in the last 8-10 years, but he's at pretty much the same place where Chamberlain is right now (no comparisons between the two as players). He had a really bad injury at a young age and it's been an uphill struggle ever since.

dreamlord

Because of a clause which would make Monaco pay Milan some money if Shaarawy was to make 25 appearances (might be wrong).

DiabyKungFu

Word is United are getting Felipe Anderson.

GooneriC

Would hate it if they get him, but i suppose with all the money they have to throw around its inevitable they will pick up some top players.

QuincyAbeyie

Iturbe has gone to Bournemouth on a loan, it's crazy what kind of players all PL clubs can bring in nowadays.

Monaco have an obligation to buy him if he makes another appearance. They don't want him and he has had a horrible season by all accounts. Milan wants to trade him with Candreva if he returns.

USArsenal

El Shar is a big talent. His progression has sort of stalled once Milan turned into a turd of a team. He wasnt going to have much progression at Monaco either. He really needs to be settled to show what he can do. Injuries hampered him as well... I'd take him (for the right price). Lots of upside

marv3llous

He's a dud, dont want.

Klaus

Rumours that United have made a deal for Sadio Mane. Jon Ross seems to think it's £24 million plus addons. Koeman tore into Mane the other day at his presser calling him unprofessional. He probably tried to force a transfer.

Rex

I'd be more than happy if Man U keep signing players like Mane. 🙂
