Hmm, this "Real Madrid" seem to be good at football. Can we just have their players?

Jesus, what’s the fecking point? He won’t come.
often the case but a world class DM changes the whole outlook of a team. Im in. Unzipped and ready.
He will look well sitting on the bench beside Varane watching McFred.
He can chat with Varane on the bench.
ADM, Varane, Perez once again see's United coming.
The annual “let’s get rid of some dross to United” phone call
Dross?
There is a reason they are open to selling. That’s bad news.Dross?
you've literally championed signing De Jong all summer, who Barcelona are literally trying to force out the door
Yep, I class them alongside Bayern. Always been very cautious when they want to move on one of their 'stars'.
Expecting the obvious reply of but, but Robben and Sniejder which was a decade ago and Robben was the only one who sustained great form.
They're not open to selling Casemiro though...
Can't see them doing it in what's potentially Ancelotti's final season as a manager
Surely Casemiro won’t want to waste end of his career at Utd . Murtough will on a first class flight to Madrid to convince him not to join though.

So... we'll buy Benzema, Casemiro and Kroos. Do we have 400 million all of a sudden?
I wouldn't really worry about that with him. He seems really driven on the pitch.
The reason to not do this is for 50M and his wages you can literally spend 70M on any 22-25 year old DM in the world who has his best years ahead of him, while Casemiro's legs may start to go in a couple years as he's played a ton of very demanding football. And without truly elite technical skills it may go the way of the Schweinsteiger, who was also 30 when he signed for us.
He'd improve us a lot this year, but it just seems insane that we don't have some 25 year old DM we've been scouting for 2 years that we can spend 40M on.
This has to be a joke right?
What's his number gonna be? 21?
Perfect opportunity for both RM and United to show Barca the finger
I can imagine Murtough, Arnold and Ten Hag etc having brainstorming sessions now just trying to come up with any midfielder we could sign.
“Any good midfielders you’ve worked with Erik?”
”De Jong?”
”APART FROM HIM!!!”

Diaz didn't say United want more Madrid player's, he said... Man United wants more.
I really don’t understand what we are doing as a club. Ask yourself, why would Casemiro want to be here? He’s won it all. He won’t give two shits about making United good again. No denying he is a good player but we don’t just need good players. We need motivated ambitious players, leaders, who can help change our mentality and culture. That is more important than finding someone who doesn’t tick those boxes but might be slightly better.
To be fair to him, De Jong is a very different situation, Barcelona aren't trying to sell him because he's crocked, has a bad attitude, or isn't good enough.
Great player of course, but another one that would be a very expensive, relatively short term fix - even if it was possible to do a deal, which it isn't.
And Madrid aren't either?
Maybe Madrid just wants to support us out of generousity, to offer a helping hand when we are in dire need?And Madrid aren't either?
No sane bookie would give you that odds. United were far away both Pool and City before the beginning of the season for anyone who follows football.
maybe they signed the french boy and pissed him off.
We want Joao felix and Casemiro
Sure send itermediaries, we have all the time in the world
We want Joao felix and Casemiro
Correction. Joao Felix, Casemiro and de Jong. We're completely off our rockers.
Is it them 3 fellas that tried doing the Herrera deal?
To be fair get those first 2 and maybe FDJ may come…
If this happens, you can delete my account. Part 2.
Which one? De Jong, Casemiro or Felix?
