Griezmann is great but we have other priorities.. CM CM CM...
Our attack consist Ronaldo Mandzukic Dybala D.Costa Bernardeschi and Cuadrado and all are very good so I rather see us working on our mid first..
Exceptions are free transfers and Mbappe (who we all know is not going to happen in the next few years...)

as for De Gea - He has a 1 year option IIRC so he wont be available in 2019 but he should be available in 2020... This is enough time for us to assess the Pole and then decide better
Right now the Pole is good but there is no point denying that De Gea is the better GK at the moment..

Martial is on the same situation so I`d take him for free or let him stay at Man Utd/go to another club

Our needs?
We need a CM (actually even 2 WC mids could be used)
Attack - Piatek would be nice to add while someone like Mbappe could help us take another leap in quality. Griezmann - Well yes he could be of use but we should first go for Pogba and maybe another CM
Defense - De Ligt will do
GK - at the moment we are fine but De Gea would be a nice addition even if Oblak remains the dream..
Coach - Allegri is currently doing a fantastic job so no point replacing him - if by some reason we do replace him (he decides to leave or any other reason) Zidane should be our first priority and then there are other managers like Klopp and Guardiola

We have a warrior in goal currently. Absolute no need to look for alternatives. He is doing brilliantly and hasnt shown any weaknesses.

He is doing well but he is not remarkable.. De Gea can make saves Woj would only dream of..
I do get your point but to get such a good GK and a definite upgrade might be too hard to refuse

- - - Updated - - -

No, please. De Gea is good, but no more than Woj. He has an incredible mental security, and has shown himself to have the skills to be the best to take Buffon's place. We don't need another goalkeeper (free or not) at this moment, nor GriezmAnn either. Fuck all, our team is perfect as it is right now.

There is no point denying De Gea is obviously the better GK.. Woj did well though..

Can and Sami are still out.

Told you guys we needed another CM

I'm okay being stuck with Matuidi, Pjanic and Bentancur for some time. Let's get that midfield played together. 2-man mid tonight. Rest one of Pjanic or Matuidi

even in a 2 man midfield you STILL need more than 3 CMs..what if we pick up another injury or suspensions?

Juventus have first option clause to sign Empoli striker

27 October at 14:10
Juventus will be playing at Empoli's Castellani stadium today. The Serie A giants aim to win after their draw against Genoa last weekend. The Castellani clash, however, will also be useful to keep an eye on Empoli striker Antonio La Gumina.

Empoli president Maurizio Corsi revealed last summer that Juve have a first option clause to sign the 22-year-old. "If he will do well this season, Juve have the precedence to sign him", Corsi told Tuttosport.

La Gumina joined Empoli from Palermo last summer for a club-record fee of € 9 million.

Ofcourse only for a game or two, where I hope they can stay fresh from injuries Sometimes its good to have Allegris hand forced, as he is stubborn about a few players (atleast it seems so from the outside)

 

[zizinho]

Sami has been out for a while, he should be back soon, no?

- - - Updated - - -

according to transfermarkt, he should have been back on the 22th Oct

Pogba links but nothing will come out of it as it says loan with70m obligation and a I see no reason for Man Utd to accept it..

apparently Ronaldo wants him here lol. we dont need another AM/winger? fine, he played CM under Heynckes 6 times last season, and they lost only once (1-2 to Madrid) in less than a full season. play him next to Pjanic and Matuidi/Can/sami

marketability - check
Mendes agent - check

You’re overrating Szczesny. I don’t think he’s the long term answer at all. He’s been ok, nothing special. De Gea is on another level.

The only reason I wouldn’t do it is because I believe in Perin

 

[Dino_mk]

New signing!? His son is already a fan!

Good start, bad finish.

Without taking anything away from Woj or Perin.

Under Allegri, we've only ever signed two midfielders in four winter transfer windows.

Sturaro and Rincon

 

[zizinho]

yes, fuck Allegri

 

[Nedved96]

yes, fuck Allegri

Under Allegri and Conte, the only midfielders we've signed in the winter are Sturaro, Rincon and Padion.


But that's not the manager's fault.

 

[zizinho]

fuck Allegri and Conte

 

[Nedved96]

Stuttgart are currently bottom of the Bundesliga. We should definitely go for Ascacibar, he could be the next Kante.

 

[pavluska]

Unlike the ones that killed brain cells - Griezmann, James, SMS, Marcelo (while loaning out AS lol), etc to Juve in Jan with us splashing money we don't have - this rumor actually makes financial sense (also a matter of when not if Pogba will leave Utd) if he agrees to lower salary and worth actually looking at.

It makes sense on our part but it makes no sense for Man Utd to sell for only 70M...
