Seems like Hugo Lloris is waiting for De Gea to leave for Madrid before declaring he wants a United move.

"For any player you need to play at the highest level to improve yourself to help your national team to improve. I think every player wants to play in the Champions League because it is the highest level. We work for that and I hope to play Champions League football again.

"At the moment, De Gea is still Manchester United keeper so I have no need to talk about that."

Madrid won't chase hard for unattainable targets. I suspect if anyone thought Hazard was a possibility we would be hearing plenty about enticing him away. But I just don't see it as a possibility at this point in time. Maybe in a few years, but he seems pretty happy with his lot.

Doesn't make sense for us at all unless he is prepared to take a large pay cut which I severely doubt. Rubbish rumour.
Would come pretty cheap. Not sure why you wouldn't be prepared to pay big wages for a top class player.

Doubt he would want to join though. He'll play at Juve and then return to Boca.

When did Xavi ever use speed and power and play box to box?
I'm not claiming he does or ever did. Just stating that Pogba would replace Xavi in Barcelona's setup if he joined them. His physical attributes would be a bonus. Either way he cannot sign until January 2016.

Age, wage demands. He's also a troublemaker. I doubt we'd be interested in signing him.

Rakitic has replaced Xavi atm and is a better passer than Pogba, Pogba would probably replace Iniesta who has the most freedom of the 3 mids.

If you don't want to sign him because he think he'll cause trouble thats ok (although he has a fairly handy trophy cabinet for someone that damages teams). But I just don't get the problem in playing top players top wages. You can afford your £150k for Milner, Tevez has got to be worth that and more. It's not as if he's in his late 30's or anything, or showing signs of wear and tear. Wouldnt come with a big transfer fee if any (presuming he was interested).

Yeah im all for Tevez if their is any truth in it at all. Absolute class forward who will bring the goals. I also love a forward who works hard.

It's more FSG than my personal opinion. They will never sanction a transfer fee for a 31 year old footballer on big wages.

It could happen if Tevez was available for a token transfer fee but I can't see why Juve would want to get rid of him for next to nothing.


Not happening or even a possibility of joining us.

I think he'd be available for a few million. Last year of his contract and didn't cost Juve much to start with.

Happy enough with that. Still need another striker, but I see nothing wrong with having Ings as a third option and a squad player.

Yeah pretty pleased with that. If Ings goes into the season as our third choice behind Sturridge and a new signing then ill be happy.
