Would much rather Man Utd get Matic than Fabinho

 

[jod23]

Guess you learned from your mistake with Lovren.

What you mean?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

He'd start for Barca even in a back 4 IMO. The only teams I guess that wouldn't need him would be Real, Juve and probs Bayern.

He's got 5 years still on his contract and Soton want to hold him so thats why he's going to cost a fortune. But for teams who can afford it(it's only a figure in the end) he's worth it as he's as good as whats available.

Maybe. Think he's a little overhyped.

 

[pantskyle]

40M isn't far off on value for Matic, considering the circumstances, contracted and we are a direct rival.

 

[SM]

What you mean?

Overpaying for a Soton CB. Thought that was obvious.

 

[RPCB]

Why do people hate on Matic? He's very solid.

Yeah, he's a good footballer but he'll be 29 just before the new season starts. I think we'd be better suited with someone who could be at the club for 10 years and Fabinho fits perfectly.

Oh ok.. 20 million for Lovren is pretty fair I would have thought.

 

[SM]

Oh ok.. 20 million for Lovren is pretty fair I would have thought.

So why do you think the price tag for VVD is excessive when he's a much better player?

 

[jod23]

So why do you think the price tag for VVD is excessive when he's a much better player?

Because the papers are saying 70 million!!!

 

[SM]

Because the papers are saying 70 million!!!

Thought you didn't trust the papers like when you told me Salah wasn't happening.

Yep. You are going to have to pay a little overs from him but he'll be worth it. He'll compliment Pogba and Herrera perfectly.

 

[jod23]

Thought you didn't trust the papers like when you told me Salah wasn't happening.

Heheh all I said was I'll believe when he is doing the Anfield lean, which he eventually did. Top lad.

There is a large difference between 20 million and 70 million though hehe.

 

[chef]

Yeah, he's a good footballer but he'll be 29 just before the new season starts. I think we'd be better suited with someone who could be at the club for 10 years and Fabinho fits perfectly.

Mou is rightly worrying about the here and now. Next season is what it's all about.

Plus he knows Matic.

Certainly not my first choice however he is a good player and as you say should compliment the other two nicely.

Probably because he's a garbage player.

We can add Salah now, not sure on total figure, but I think it's just eclipsed Carroll's 35m.

Haha that is genuinely embarrassing for us. Lamela the only on that was decent and a good contributor.

We should stick with the frugal signings. They've been much better
