True but i said United in terms of brand name, story of the club and etc... They're still filthy rich and sooner or later will be competing in Europe again. I It's not far fetched to think some players could pick them over us.

Arsenal on the other hand are just losers. I could see no other reason for someone to want to go there except for the money.
The brand name is obvisously bigger (though I'm not so sure about the situation in Brazil - you probably know more than me here, but I was under the impression that Serie A was relatively popular in South America). However, you also have to consider that United are stakced with AMs: Di Maria, Mata, Herrera, Rooney at times, Januzaj, even Young. We've barely got one, so he's pretty much guaranteed to play substantial amounts of minutes. Add to that the already mentioned cultural issue, where I think it's safe to say that Italy would be more appealing than England, I'd favor us in such a scenario. Though the opposite wouldn't be far-fetched either, you're right.

Not that talking about this really makes sense, if he goes to United it will at least be partly due to them offering way more money to both club and player. The financials are an aspect where we definitely cannot compete with them.

Schalke and Dortmund can't afford Firmino as a matter of fact. The others are ahead of us financially. My hope that we could ninja him is about to vanish
Dortmund could pay 30m€..they have the money. Maybe they sell Mkhitaryan to Juve for 15-20m€ and buying Firmino instead. :hellyes:

I agree though, they wont be among the favorites to sign him..hard to predict what he wants. He came out not long ago naming Bayern, Real and Barca as his preferred clubs..so humble.

This list is of course not trustworthy..some of them makes sense though and some clubs being in the background. It will be interesting to see, where is he going to. I think Juve have good chances, if Bayern dont come knocking.

Zach, although you have a point for the wages, by oversimplifying it you lost yourself. We can't afford to have big wages on the bench? The simplest answer - don't bother fighting for big trophies then. Whether JoJo is done is another matter, but if he wasn't a risk we would never be able to get him. Therefore a loan on Jovetic IS IN FACT NOT A STUPID IDEA.
Seriously, thats like saying if you dont have a 400+mil turnover, fuck off and start reserves in the CL.


Nope, you try to manage the best you can with what you have, and try to catch up to compete on even foot.

Relatively maybe. The thing is... The younger generation is all about either the Spanish teams or the English league and my old friends, the old farts like, the ones who followed Calcio in it's glory days in the late 80's and 90's, don't even bother anymore. In fact I'm tired of being made fun of for still following what they call uma várzea... something like an amateur-provincial league. :D

I don't even know why we're discussing this tbh. Seeing how many clubs are interested in him, there's no way in hell we can compete.
