How about Kagawa? Player of the season at Dortmund a couple of years ago, clearly not wanted by United who can't find a position from him - would be another creative player in the final 3rd. Only problem would be I'd think Dortmund would take him back in a heartbeat and United more likely to sell to them than us.
Apparently we had scouts at the PSG vs Marseille game yesterday. Potential targets: Pastore, Menez, Matuidi, Ayew
Pastore didn't get a minute, Menez wasn't even in the squad, Ayew was the worst player on the pitch and there's no way in hell PSG would sell Matuidi. Overall a fruitful scouting trip I sppose.
Even with the money men coming in you would have thought they would have been 3rd at least. THink they have been chopping and changing left right and center along with some buys that have not quite lived up to the standard before.
I suppose it's good that Pastore and Menez weren't starting or in the squad as it would firm up the rumours that they've fallen out of favour. Two very good players who would beef up our squad.
£30 million for Michu? I would not even want him for half of that. Surely we have learned our lesson for the Carroll situation, these players look good for clubs with very little ambition or pressure to win but put them in a big club with pressure to win every week and they go to ****.
I do think we've learnt our lesson in the transfer market. We are willing to spend big money in the right player - Mkhityran, Costa, Willian etc, but we won't go over our valuation. Also, can you imagine if we had Ashley Williams over Sakho ...
Paper talk! Agree with you, I think we've learnt our lesson with regards to over paying for players. He's decent mind but for £30m we could (assuming they'd want to come to us) a lot better.
Don't think Swansea would take him tbh he wouldn't get in the swans team at the moment and I don't think he's laudrups sort of player
Liverpool plan £17million for Spanish midfielder Liverpool are tracking Spain midfielder Koke and could make a £17m bid for him in January, according to reports. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is short of central midfield options and is keen to strengthen that part of his squad when the transfer window re-opens. Rodgers has now set his sights on Atletico Madrid youngster Koke, who has been one of the key reasons behind the capital club's flawless start to the La Liga season. The 21-year-old, who has been capped three times, has scored two goals and set up six more in eight league games this term. Koke has flourished under the tutelage of manager Diego Simeone, who is desperate to hold on to the midfielder and will attempt to resist any offers from the Anfield side.
seen the lad play a few times, quality player! Ran rings around the Real Madrid midfield in the recent league game at the Bernabeau
