Of course they target players like him, to end up with a player like Pazzini or Torres, on the decline, not too expensive without added value to the team.
Carlos Miguel Aidar : "Barcelona will acquire Douglas and leave him on loan for a year at Sao Paulo. Douglas will move to Spain in 2015 We have Reached total agreement, we only need to put pen-to-paper: we will do it in the next few days. "
Balotelli is a rotten apple. I had doubts about taking him for free when those rumours were circulating. He's just another Cassano and will end up in a Sampdoria'esque kind of club soon.
Scholes wrote that United has to buy at least 5 more "capable" players this summer. They've got 10 days left, so I assume some panic buys gonna happen. Would You guys sell Vidal for 100mln in the last day of mercato?
Maybe after they couldn't sign Vidal, they will try for Marchisio for example? For 35 mln I'd do it .
I'd hate for Di Maria to go to United, he'd probably be the best winger in the league, and would add a whole new dimension to United. I think he'd be wasted as a wingback though, I hope VG is stupid enough to play him there.
Balotelli needs a team and coach that doesn't take any of his shit, then he could actually become a really good player. Chelsea would have been perfect for him. At Liverpool I don't expect much difference to his City days.
