In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He's not a top target. That's my point. Not worth paying proven money on potential after he's had years to show something.
In any case, he doesn't fit in our squad. We already have too many central attacking types and don't play a system that accommodates a #10 role. James is not a wide player and that's what is needed for our attatck. Don't another talented Mata playing out of position.
No one knows. What is reliable anymore with United? Being 5m away from Perisic likely means we are signing someone completely different.
He had a very good first year at Real.
I'll always be grateful for his fabulous assist for Ronaldo against the Scousers at Anfield.
He also didn't start being a good player at the World Cup. He'd already had like a £40m transfer by then, or whatever Monaco paid for him (think it was more even).
Calciomercato are not reallly reliable
WTF??? Surely this is a wind up?
Or might not?
Twitter or Google can't seem to translate it properly. In the comments people are saying it means..."United are really stealing Bakayoko away from Chelsea, I'm dead"
bakayoko? no thanks he sucks ass
Perisic, Nainggolan, Fabinho please
Perisic, Nainggolan, Fabinho please
maybe he is dead because he is Chelsea fan, another hijack and they die inside
They're quoting Sky Sports on this.
He is a Monaco fan and here it means he cant believe it or more like dead from laughing
Weren't we 5 mil apart for Morata too? Then boom Lukaku happened.
Bakayoko is shite imo. Really don't see anything apart from a good engine.
They quote Spalletti from a Sky interview, but say according to their sources Inter want 50m
Not a fan either. I prefer a ball playing holding midfielder than a destroyer.
In Italian it's according to Sky Sports, don't mention any source and say we got near to their request by putting on the table €45m: Il Manchester United, stando a quanto riportato da Sky Sports, sta continuando a spingere per portare Ivan Perisic ad Old Trafford; il croato dell'Inter è valutato 50 milioni di euro dai nerazzurri che si sono già preparati a dire addio all'esterno ex Wolfsburg. I Red Devils, infatti, si sono avvicinati molto alla richiesta dell'Inter mettendo sul piatto 45 milioni di euro.
It would make sense, now that the player has encounter the manager and might have said he wanted to go.
On their English page they say nothing about Sky sources
This is about the time in the Morata saga that we swooped in for Lukaku so anticipating hearing Perisic was a smokescreen for Alexis Sanchez in the next few days
I think we can all agree his growth has stalled at Madrid. Whether you think he's worth a shot at £50m or not. I'd say no, based both on that price, and the fact that he has no role in Jose's starting XI setup, either in a 352 or 433.
If we played a 4231 with a #10 role, I might change my mind. But even when we play 4231, it's w/o a #10 with a 3 man midfield. But then I'd remember we have Mata and Mikhi already, along with a developmental Perieria.
I just don't see a spot for James at United and he won't be a player satisfied with warming the bench with 2018 WC closing in and the Colombian manager already making noises that James needs to play reguarly to earn a spot at next summer's tournament.
Thanks, I like my version better.
Yeah, all bases covered. I might bang Jennifer Aniston later, might not.
Any chance of the sky link?
Couldn't find any.
Its funny that, if LVG was here another year I am pretty sure he would have gone after Strootman. Im amazed he isnt in in the PL yet
Definitely. If he hadn't have got the serious injuries, I think he'd have been a United player.
That ESPN guy probably has some interview/pics of Lukaku. Don't forget, ESPN have already done one interview with him.
Voler means to steal. Are we going to steal this guy from Chavs too.
No, just bollocks from the internet
I think he'd really make that Everton team very strong. If any of the top 6 slip up I could see Everton taking a spot and getting 6th or maybe even 5th. I've a feeling Wayne will actually do well for them too. He won't match Lukaku's goals but I could see him getting around 15 goals. The rest of their team is greatly improved on last season with their signings. Coleman will be a big loss for start of season though and they have a tough opening set of fixtures. Still, this would probably be their starting lineup when everyone is fit:
Pickford
Coleman Keane Williams Baines
Gueye Schneiderlin
Barkley Sigurdsson Ramirez
Rooney
Bench: Stekelenburg, Holgate, Funes Mori, Klaassen, Davies, Bolasie, Mirallas
EDIT: Forgot Schneiderlin first time. Also, Giroud would be a great buy if they were to get him.

I seriously doubt Rooney will be anywhere near the starting line up is everyone was fit. Schneiderlin, Bolasie, Mirallas, Lookman, Davies have more to offer.
Edit: Seen your edit
You're crazy mate. He'll start every game he's fit for.
Obviously
Guessing Sigurdsson, another attacker and a CB, with Barkley being sold.
Fair play to Everton. If a team like them are to ever step it up to the next level, this is the sort of thing they need to do. It could of course backfire, but we will see.
