To add to your points Klaus, you can count the number of Italians who were successful in the prem on one hand. They generally fare poorly. What chance does Italy's answer to Mustafi have here? Just splurge on Upamecano and be done with it.

Now if only we can sign Lower Mecano and we've got the set.

Generally fine. Doesn't have a history of muscular injuries. You know he got injured earlier this year after a BumP on his knee with the other defender Mukiele which saw him out for months. But no ligament damage.

Let’s get this guy. Would be our first proper defender in a long time where there are no questions about any aspect of his game desPite his youth. Big, fast, high endurance, good tackling, smart anticipation, high focus. Hell, I’d make him one of the 5 captains on the spot

The market's so insane. Boggles the mind we've had a £55m offer rejected for this guy if reports are true.

Claudius

Thank United. They encourage bullshit.

Yup, would be crazy if we ended up having to spend more than Juve did on De Ligt to get him. Not that I’d give a monkeys though, if we have the money get the deal done. If he’s as good as people are saying in a couple years nobody will remember how much was paid. Wasn’t that long ago people thought Southampton hit the jackpot with Van Dijk and now he looks cheap!

Might still be worth it. This guy ceiling is sky high.

Thinking about it, as much as I love Tierney I would choose Upamecano any day of the week if we can only sign one. Just deal with Monreal and Kolasinac for one more season.

Agree with this view. The cost of not solving centre back could see us locked out o Champions league. This guy will solve defensive issues and help us start to build this playing out from the back style.

de ligt is also on monster wages (€16m base salary that could rise to €24m with add-ons). a big fee for dayot would probably be accompanied with 70k a week wages.

Jed

Even if he doesn't turn out as good as hoped, he's only 20 and has resale value. We could quite easily recover what we spent for him especially with prices inflating all the time.

Clrnc

Yep. It's high time we be smart and think of future value than bulk at asking prices now. Most big value transfer dont lose money even if they flop. E.g. Lukaku

Josh if you’re reading this mate - I’m excited!

Nothing new really, just jumping on the story. At least there is not much time left so we will find out fast if it happens or not.
