Doesn't much sound like an "only Liverpool" situation, but he could be just wording like that to avoid more tapping up complaints.

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.
Maybe he should just go back to Celtic, guaranteed trophies there and in Europe every season, for so long anyway.
Well he does mention top clubs and challenging for honours so I guess that only leaves Chelsea
Arsenal? The Community Shield Champions and perennial F.A. Cup winners.
For those who wonder why United has not been interested in chasing players of Bale's world class quality during this transfer window.
Jose never comments players from another clubs so it is strange. My muppet mode about bale is now on 10%. I still don't believe that we will buy him but .....
There's no chance Wenger would ever spend that much on a defender
Which is why they don't get near the league title. I was being a bit sarcastic by the way.
And when VVD said he wanted to play in Europe, I think he meant the CL.
Don't forget perrenial entering the CL bc of getting into top 4 winners... Oh wait. Sorry Arsene. Better win that EL this year.
The fact that he wasn't saying the F.A. Cup winners should be in the CL when we won it, but that is for another thread.Southampton saying their stance is unchanged and are still unwilling to sell the player despite his request
If you were so ambitious and was planning to leave, maybe you shouldn't have signed a 5 year contract with increased wages, Mr. Virgil Dumb Dick.
"I did not feel I was in a settled mindset given the circumstances".
That basically is an excuse not to train. This is a grown man who is throwing his toys out of the pram. Southampton's valuation shouldn't be altered by this at all. For a top defender in this crazy market, £60m upfront is the minimum fee they should be accepting. They could probably demand £70m.

Incredibly entitled to sign a 6 year contract just 6 months before asking to leave. And then upon being told no, throw enough of a fit that they decide to leave you out of training.
Very true.
And also, why not hand in the transfer request earlier…
:banter: wants to join top clubs challenging for top honours...
So not Liverpool then: 1 league cup in the last 10 seasons, no league title in 27 years.
Must be a come and get me plea to more successful sides, like Leicester City

If Saints go back on their word now, it'll just be a kick in the teeth for the fans as there's not much more fight they can "show". The best scenario for them if he has to go is Chelsea or City. But I don't think either of those two materialises. IMO It's either he stays or goes to LFC. At the least they should be demanding an extortionate sum to dampen the damage.
Not sure why you are mocking Acquire Me. Everyone knew Griezmann was happening until the transfer ban. The deal still could happen next summer.Bluemoon's version of Acquire Me, someone called "Tolmiehairdo", had them all convinced that City were going for both Sanchez and Mbappe and that something huge had happened a couple of days ago. He has them all lapping up all the BS he comes out with, I wonder when he'll have his Acquire Me exposed moment. It's going to be hilarious if/when they end up with neither player
Everyone...as in, it was obvious.
As was Pogba and Mourinho.
He also claimed we were getting Morata and Weigl
Would be a big loss to miss out on Aurier at that price, he's young and already a quality right back
I'm not one for wishing bad things to people. But in this instance I wouldn't mind if Southampton dished out "the Berahino treatment" for half a season or more just to sent out a message.
Agreed. He's definitely gotten a bit too big for his boots.
If we get neither Bale or Perisic (Which is looking increasingly likely), then who are we after? Mourinho recently said he is happy with the three but is looking at bringing in another.
It wouldn't be a "big loss" at all. Aurier is a risky punt - he is trouble and has issues off the field.
Disagree heavily, relative to the market he's very cheap for a player of his quality and Valencia just turned 32. We might find ourselves spending a fair bit more on a worse right back next summer if we miss out.
I'm thinking it's an act. That we know what Inter want for Perisic but won't pull the trigger until we know for certain Bale is unavailable. Could drag on this..
Again, it's not about his quality. It's about his off field issues. He is trouble
Jose might not want the baggage that Aurier inevitably brings.
He is also an ACN player, meaning United could lose the entire right hand side of their defence for at least a fortnight next year, and every 2 years after that.
Think it's being moved from winter.
Isn't the ACN moving to the summer?
Nobody apart from Mark Hughes.
With regards to VvD, I can respect that he's sticking to his guns and makes his intentions official. I think it's much more sneaky that a player is pushing so damn hard for a move, while refusing to hand in a transfer request and abstain from his 'loyalty' bonus.
Dollah dollah bills yo!
Hopefully no-one. What I mean by that is if we haven't identified someone else after those 2 who we want then there's no point signing someone for the sake of it. We should definitely not panic-buy. We're better off saving that money and trying in January or next summer.
