Christ. He's worth half that. We will be priced out of the market and I cant see Arsenal paying that much for him. Slightly above average player that would be good for us though at the right price.
The prices have gone crazy
That's why we must hold out for more money for Kone

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj is reportedly closing in on a loan move to Sunderland to play under his former manager David Moyes.

The new Black Cats boss recently confirmed interest in the Belgium international, who has struggled for first-team minutes at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old did not figure in Louis van Gaal's team last season as he was sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund before being recalled in January.

Jose Mourinho is now the man in charge at United, and it appears as though he is willing to offload Januzaj, but only on a temporary deal.

According to the Daily Mail, both parties are in negotiations over a loan as United do not want to make the same mistake that they did with Paul Pogba by allowing a young player to leave permanently and then buy him back for an inflated price.






Pogba rejoined United yesterday for a world-record £89m fee.

A loan is a terrible arrangement for us. If he is ****e we have lost money on loaning him, if he is great Man Utd will sell him to the highest bidder which wont be us. There needs to be a buy option or a buy with buy back option for utd. Its madness this deal.
 
Yeh saw that re arsenal but seen several reports 13 mil cut price deal???

Makes sense that they don't sell to a rival at a reduced rate. I dare say there's a premium on Arsenal if they want him.

City's owners are mega rich, but they are also smart as a tack. They run that club fantastically well, it's one of the best set up clubs on planet earth now. They've built a 'forever' club.
 
I like Naismith and don't mind that at all. Probably pay £7/8m is my guess.

Also on Moyes bringing back previous players, I don't think that's a negative point. He wouldn't bring in players that will be detrimental and will only bring them in if they'll improve what we've currently got.
I also rate Naismith but was hoping for a big physical forward to complement JD. I agree Moyes will strengthen the squad and bring decent players in it was just me on a major downer yesterday after the Kone rumours.

I don't think Naismith is an out and out forward unless we're desperate. He's more of a winger/inside forward, probably similar to Borini in a way.

I just don't rate him either. Not skillful or quick enough for a wide player and doesn't score enough goals as a CF. Didn't do anything for Norwich last year and I would hate to think that £8m of our clearly restricted funds would go on him.

Fair enough mate, all about opinions isn't it.

I do like him, always have since he came to the PL with Everton. I think he'd be a good fit with us as he's a grafter and a bit of a nuisance.
 
You mean like Borini?

I do like Naismith, good player, but no need. If Moyes is thinking of selling Kone to fund ****ing Naismith we are ****ed.

Aye like Borini, Naismith on the left and Borini on the right with Khazri in the middle would work for me.

Agree on the second part though, if we're getting rid of our best defender for a player we don't desperately need then Short needs to go and boil his heed.
