dhunt2402 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Don't want Perisic. Dier would be a good signing and a natural fit to replace Carrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dier a lot, but I honestly think his asking price will be astronomical, Levy is known to absolutely rinse us on players. I would prefer us taking a chance on a "wonderkid"and let Herrera fill the Carrick role in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehead430 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I dont want Matic or Persic. Both on the wrong side of 28. We desperatley need another CM however, Fellani getting any minutes just isnt going to cut it. Verratti would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very hard to see us sneaking in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 What do people think of the persistent Bale rumours? I think it's interesting nobody is quoting any potential fees. I would be interested to see how much it would cost to prize him away. Would likely cost double that of Perisic, both are 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bales injuries have been pretty devastating these past few years. If he can get his health back, he would be worth every penny of the 80+ million he would cost, imo.

Levy would be asking world record fees, in this market, and Dier isn't worth anywhere near that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather spend £70m and bring in Keita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id take him back at Spurs in a heart beat. But, perhaps that's nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I question whether a 28 year old, oft-injured, winger is really what we need to be splashing the cash on right now. Carrick is coming to the end of his career, although it's not like he was ever a stud CDM, and we saw what a difference Kante made to both Leicester and Chelsea. Keita in a midfield three with Herrera and Pogba would be exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Mourinho would stop bad mouthing Martial. Whenever he's been given a run in the side his potential has shone. He had a blip last season, when his personal life was also in a bit of a mess, and Mourinho threw him (and some others) under the bus.

Mourinhos treatment of some of the younger players (Shaw in particular), was disgraceful last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
