Lopez doesnt make sense, if they want 65M why would Man Utd pay payments rising to 70/80m ?? It doesnt take a business mind to thinkt here is something strange there, why pay more for something you dont have too and the seller is asking for less .... Something isnt right there
Because the addons are likely not very achievable within 5 years of the contract eg world player of the year, premier league champions, win champions league etc.. think Levy tried something similar in the summer

Changing managers cost us a lot of money.
This is Daniel levy were talking about, he would have had clauses in poch's contract to sack him for a cup of milk, 3 coconuts, and 1800 euro per month for 8 years to keep the cost down in case poch needed sacking.

Far too much noise isn't there? I reckon Woodward ends up paying up. Utd fans will be up in arms if he blows this one.

I've been hoping we were waiting to hijack the deal but as always with us it was 'unrealistic'.

Have always thought that to be the case, especially as we didn't get in there first this window. It's classic Woodward, almost an exact match to Maguire last season just on a lesser scale. He'll pay and he'll join. It's a disappointing one for us but one that Jose clearly wasn't bluffing on this time

Yep, and there's nothing about us being involved in any way, shape etc Jose already said he's too expensive for us, absolutely nailed on for United (imo).

Last summer we offered them 20m with addons if we win PL or CL. Maybe United are doing the same. They want certain money

Yep, could probably do Olmo & Piatek for the price of Fernandes. I'd gladly take that duo instead. I've completely given up hope of a DM, we clearly aren't looking for one this window. Which of course is idiotic.

Reports in Croatia that Milan are very close to Dani Olmo.

It's not going to happen with us but A Bola are clickbait, similar to the Express and the Mail. United fans generate so many clicks on websites due to the sheer size of the fanbase so you see websites in the UK generating 20 different stories over the slightest non-event, like an Instagram post etc.

It's also pro-Benfica, as another poster previously mentioned. Could be trying to unsettle BF ahead of the derby

I am going to be so gutted if/ when he goes to united.
He is the perfect Eriksen replacement and I really wish we can hijack this. We really are missing out big time, gutted

Ally Gold hinting we might be keeping an eye on this in his article today to be fair. Dan KP didn't mention it either way.

For some inexplicable reason I really want us to sign him. Getting to a point where I’m visualising his FIFA card when I’m sleeping. A bit like being a really shit stalker, one that likes the idea of stealthy, insidious pursuit but would rather have a cup of tea and a hobnob.

Jesus, being mortal is shit
