You really believe that? If Barca or Real want a player generally speaking they get them with the except of De Gea

Remember when we said not to Suarez ? That was a playerthat kicked off to the press. If we dont want Phil to go...he doesnt go. If barca want him then they will be shelling out a world record fee in the region of 130mil.

So yea, good luck Barca.

Yay Fellaini is off

Well thanks for pointing that out to me, I won't be making that mistake again.

No worries

Liverpool refusing to sell Suarez ended ok. He went on to have one of the best seasons in the history of the PL.

Hence I added not always but most times.

HOLY ****! If we get rid of Fellaini, that is every bit as good as a signing.

Remind me, where is Suarez playing now?

I'd suggest that most times, as soon as a player realises he's not getting his move he gets back to business. In fact I can barely think of a time where a player hasn't and a club keeping a player against his wishes has backfired.

Suarez had a release clause, Coutinho by all accounts doesn't. The season before when Suarez kicked up a fuss and wanted to leave, he didn't get his way. People also forget that Mascherano wanted to join Barca the summer before he did and we point blank refused to sell him too.

We're in a far stronger position in every possible way than we were when we refused to sell Suarez (and Masch) and if it takes anything less than an absolute mental offer (assuming he has no clause) then I'd be stunned.

£5-10m and I would bite their hand off, cant see it being much more than that as he only has a year left on his contract

Utd still need more options in CM though, that's the worrying aspect. So wish we had been able to sort out Fabinho in the first weeks of the break, before the fire sale at Monaco began. Would have been a very useful addition for two positions imo.

Fellaini has been announced over in Turkey by all their news channels and papers.

Great news

Do you know what,I'd be sad to see Fellani go. He does a job. He's a carthorse, but he's proven himself useful several times.

Stewy · 29 Jul 2017 at 22:18

wonder if we'll be subsiding his wage at all?

The Running Man · 29 Jul 2017 at 23:37

He's 27 million. Just what the hell.

he breaks up more good moves, and shanks more chances (like that one the other day in pre-season) than he does good , but we still need better CM options even IF Matic arrives

Stewy said:

I was thinking about this, and even if we do have to sub his wages, Utd should still manage to get a few million in as a fee on top of anything going out.

If it was on a "free" it wouldnt be the end of the world though

Not at Arsenal?

The Running Man · 30 Jul 2017 at 09:24

So basically we are the most inept club financially with transfers in the epl?

woppy101 · 30 Jul 2017 at 15:01

That's matic now signed for manu, they could be going into my accumulator to win the league

FrankJH · 30 Jul 2017 at 15:01

Very good photoshop going around twitter of Matic in AON training kit - would have been BS's number if he had stayed.

Some suggesting deal has already been completed around £40m mark with addons

Stewy · 30 Jul 2017 at 15:49

40m feels steep for a pretty limited footballer when he's got the ball but hopefully he can just win it and pass 5 yards to either Pogba or Herrera.
