Not that I want him to go but if he must due to the running down of his contract, then I'd like PSG to have first dibs. We seem to be benefiting from a proper "Special Relationship" unlike the one we had with Real and so if a key player is to leave, I'd rather it to them. Kurzawa and Pastore have both been linked with us since the Jan window shut, so there may be a possibility of us getting one of those and cash in the summer should a deal be negotiated.
£44M is allegedly the fee for Alderweireld to join Utd from Spurs this summer. Not sure what to make of this nonsense, although I would like to see him in red.
Oh come on Luke, it's Tottenham. Nothing's that easy with us. Levy spends a week negotiating the milk bill and always demands more cream.
I can picture Levy's approach to any offer working out like this. Levy: "So the fee will be £44m." "Okay." Levy: "Up front." "Right..." Levy: "You can throw in Luke Shaw while you're at it." "Wait a minute..." Levy: "Also, we'd like to speak to each of your sponsors about a potential naming rights deal for our stadium." "..."
So that's €50m, then? That's a nice round number for whoever made it up in some random European country, isn't it? Van Dijk was £75m. If he wants pay parity, then I suspect that Levy will want transfer fee parity. I suspect he'll be looking for foreign buyers, though.
a couple of years ago Woodward (think it was him) gave an interview saying that it would have been best all round if Levy hadn't haggled over the Berbatov fee .... 8 years on and after the bloke had left united he was still ****ed off with Levy
You have just made my case, why would we want to pay over the odds on someone we already have 5 equal players in the position of? Pogba and Lukaku filled holes
Plus Raiola's 'little drink'.He's getting £41m on top of the transfer fee from the Pogba deal and £15m from Lukaku's move. Both sums payable by United. Funny how the press always forget that extra £56m.
