Talk of Reus to Madrid out there. Sell Benzema, sign Reus, move Ronaldo to striker?

-----Ronaldo----
Bale-James-Reus

Interesting.

I really hope KDB doesnt join City.

Even though I do want him, that's a pretty absurd fee for a 3rd CB even if we loan him back to Everton.

you think he'll jump ahead of zouma in the depth chart? yeah it'll be a lot but I think he's going to be really good.


For that amount, he better be.

Stones is indeed a very good player. Not £32m worth of good, but I could certainly see him being Terry's successor down the line. I suppose that's priceless, in many ways.

English premium strikes again. It's at least better value than the £27m United paid for Luke Shaw, for instance, but that's not the best barometer of anything.

di maria looks like he's a goner , and hopefully real madrid put up the cash for de gea. Those 2 leaving would counter act united's great work in the window so far lol.

That's the main reason I believe Jose wants this, but again that English premium is just ridiculous and if he stays with us he probably won't get much playing time barring injuries of course and with Zouma having a pretty good year last year too. I'd prefer it (should we get him) that we loan him back to Everton for the year, but I don't think Jose will be for that nor Everton.

I'm really hoping De Gea leaves, I'm not too fussed about Di Maria because I'm just not too sure United will be so quick to pull the plug on him after a year. But if De Gea goes then they essentially have no keeper, rumours are they're trying to get Sergio Romero, who's a MASSIVE downgrade to De Gea and even Valdes.

Benteke saying that Rodgers is the reason he went to Liverpool. :lol:

Would De Bruyne be the best player in PL?

He's much better for Belgium that Hazard is. And everybody say that Hazard is the best.

Absolutely not. De Bruyne had an amazing season, but Hazard has been top class for years.

Maybe, and I'll be glad if the PL has another superstar (if City do sign him)

But it's silly to anoint him already, it's too soon.

They want Pogba as well. He is going to Barcelona next summer, but is much better suited for the Premier League.

Can you imagine the creativity of a midfield with both De Bruyne and Silva in, though? Aguero and Sterling will be thriving off that kind of service. I know I've said that I don't rate Sterling as highly as most on here, but that would really play to his strengths.

And I'm sure it had nothing to do with Pool being the only team to meet his release clause.....
