BBC confirmation that United were never interested.
BBC confirmation that United were never interested.
Yes, DailyMail ran the story in the morning.
If true, we seem to have a clear run
Lloris, Lamela, Vertonghen, Aurier, just from players currently at the club, all took a fucking long time.We never seem to get these long sagas over the line. I know people will probably say Ndombele, but that was more last year we got it done pretty early in regards to this window.
Damiao, Moutinho, Grealish, Barkley, Hulk all come to mind and I’m sure there’s many others. But it does seem that whenever there’s a stand off between us and the selling club we don’t get our man. Tbf based on that list that’s not always been a bad thing but frustrating nonetheless
Quite possibly but they must have calculated that when they bought him, they can't lose on this deal and so it has always been just a matter of how much they could get and in only three months too.The sell on clause clearly has a lot to do with this. I imagine they'd have accepted 50m if they received pretty much all of that but only receiving 38m is probably making them reluctant.
Or Utd saying they’re not interested because they know we have more pulling power and are trying to save face.Sporting were desperate to drum up fake interest to create a bidding war imo.
Was Liverpool’s tactic for many windows until they had the Coutinho money.Or Utd saying they’re not interested because they know we have more pulling power and are trying to save face.

They buy the players we want to give them. They don’t have the pull any more....or they know that Eriksen is in the bag ?
Maybe Betis're anticipating Brexit is going to devalue the transfer or something. Better get the cash now while it's still worth something!They structure their finance and transfers totally different in Spain and Italy. But never mind, too much to go into any detail. British clubs cannot trade like that!
Fair pointLloris, Lamela, Vertonghen, Aurier, just from players currently at the club, all took a fucking long time.
Sporting - Tottenham 'close' Lo Celso and move away from Bruno Fernandes. Deal agreed for 60m Euros
Duncan castles also reported it, €52m + €8m in potential add ons
that just discredits the whole thing
