Some French journalist says were in talks with Monaco for Fabinho and only a big offer from somewhere else will stop him from coming to United.

do you think united are currently fretting over van persie's 'resale value' after winning them a title?

if someone like bacca gets you into the champions league again, then he pays back his fee and then some immediately. playing safe only gets you more and more sterling situations. have a break out season, let down by other team mates who aren't as good, those players with good performances look to move on, buy a young replacement, rinse and repeat.
The difference being Van Persie was the best striker in the league at the stage of his sale and was one of the best strikers in the world which barring injury was guaranteed to deliver. Bacca on the other hand has a couple of decent/good seasons but nothing that warrants the cost of his transfer at his age especially seeing as he is not going to be difference between a top four spot like you claim as possibility.

well no cos liverpool won't sign him.

van persie wasn't a guarantee to deliver at all. and his barring injury was a pretty big problem to contend with.

bacca is definitely good enough to become a potential difference maker.

Laughable. Van Persie was one the best strikers in the world coming off his best ever season and hadn't had an extended period of the sidelines for 18 months prior to transferring. There was only ever a very small chance he wouldn't deliver which as Arsenal fans sadly witnessed he did deliver and pretty much carried United to the title.

Bacca isn't even close to being a difference maker. The the likes of Alexis, Augero, Ozil, Silva, Hazard and Costa are difference makers. Bacca fits more the mould of Giroud and Dzeko who are good bench players on a successful side.

i never said that van persie wasn't. just that it wasn't a guarantee due to his considerable injury record. laughable comprehension.

bacca wouldn't compete with any of those players at liverpool. he would be number one along with sturridge. for liverpool, he could be a difference maker, as he has been for sevilla. after all, his goals in the europa league final were the difference between europa and champions league football.
