Even if he accepts a 50% wage cut he`ll still be too expensive..
If C.Ronaldo ever leaves it will be to one of the following: 1. Man City
2. PSG
3. MLS
4. China
Italians are not an option and he will only play for Real in Spain..

Sure..
and while we are on it Sturaro for Kroos&Ramos straight swap..
- - - Updated - - -
He is a better option than Bonaventura because he is way younger - Bonaventura is really underrated here - He is actually a good player but of course we need players who are better than him..
For his price he is a good purchase but I really rather see our funds spent on some present rather than just focus on the future..
Not UTD? They have the monies and he is already a legend there. He would risk a lot going to City.
But I could see Pep giving him a call and saying "wanna earn lots of money and score 100 goals a season?" With his off the ball movement and his finishing, he'd score a thousand goals in a Pep system.
Romagnoli is great but Im a little worried since getting him will mean we have 3 young players (Rugani Caldara Romagnoli) and the only really experienced one is Rugani who is not ready to be a starter yet..
Caldara seems like the one who will be getting a starting spot out of those 3 but giving it to him from the start might be a mistake that will cost us some points as it takes time to adjust..
In other words if Benatia asks to leave we should get an experienced CB who is ready to improve our defense - someone like Godin and then look at Romagnoli
Dont get me wrong - Romagnoli at a good price will be great and we should pounce on it but we have to settle the defense so those young greats enter into a settled enviroment and perform in the right manner - otherwise our defense will look like the start of the season..
You do realise Allegri will still be our coach? He's a maniac when it comes to 'easing players in'.
And I'd love Romagnoli. He's young but not a rookie anymore, same goes for those other 2 while Barzagli & Chiellini are a wealth of experience to teach them.
Marseille is in for him according to the rumours. To rejoin the losing violin player there with Caldara expected to start at Juve. Sounds hard to believe.
De Bruyne and Salah were benched for inferior players under Mourinho. Now both are world class players.
If young potential like Martial isnt worth 50-60M in this inflated market, then Sandro isnt worth more than 30 considering he got benched by Asamoah if we apply your line of reasoning.

nah, Sandro was the second best LB in the world year ago
Martial is all potential
I was wrong about him is not worth 60 mln, but Sandro should cost on the same level, there are still no more than 3 LBs better in the world

You reinforce my point. Sandro went from one of the best LB's in the world too being benched by Asamoah. How steep a decline is that ?
Martial was one of the most promising young players in the league until Mourinho took charge of Man United. Mourinho has a well known history of ruining attacking players' potential.

To be honest, that ain't so bad really. Of course we all want SMS or someone at his calibre, but it probably will never happen. I would love us to get Morata back though.

Why would Benatia go to Marseille? The rumors of him leaving don't really make any sense.

He always striked me as more of a family guy. One of the reasons he left Bayern to return to Italy in the first place because he(or his family) wasnt fully settled in Germany.
There were constant rumours about it. One year before we even signed him.
