Annoyingly enough the financial clout United have means they can never be ruled out of these big transfers. Massive shame if we're not even trying to get involved somehow.

Look at the shit i got for calling this back on page 43..Never happening

I was about to say would it be at all possible that he's coming just to understand potential clubs terms etc, meaning more than one club to speak to.Just came to London for the one meeting did he?
Sure.
I'm struggling to get my head around it too. You want to swap for an inferior player who is on a higher salary who will occupy the same space as Ronaldo. At least Dybala can play off a central player. This deal makes no sense and only sense for United.Aren't Juve looking to save money? Lukaku earns more than Dybala now, unless he wants a pay cut, can't see how this benefits either party.
I agree with the sentiment - I will say that Nedved said teams when he was talking about interest/bids.I was about to say would it be at all possible that he's coming just to understand potential clubs terms etc, meaning more than one club to speak to.
But I have to admit it does look like this one is out of our realm.
Come to London to talk to Manchester United? Erm wouldn't they go to Manchester?
I’m sure that’d work if we’d pay £80m, which I doubt we would.What I can't quite wrap my head around is why Juve would want Lukaku in the first place. He's never in a million years a good fit for Sarri's intricate passing game -- much more of a battering ram.
They've been linked all summer with a move for Icardi. If they're willing to effectively swap an £80m asset in order to get a striker, I can't see why they wouldn't just sell Dybala and use the money on a player who would be a much better fit than Lukaku.
I think our best and only hope is that this supposed swap deal is just a gambit to force Inter's hand on selling Icardi. If Sarri really has decided he wants Lukaku there'll be nothing we can do. It'd be so Spurs for a manager to make an utterly bizarre decision that just happens to preclude us from having a chance with a top player.
I think it's disappointing to still get beaten to signings by the likes of Arsenal and Utd.
It's like we were an ugly teenager, but now we are grownup we quite fancy ourselves. We've got a smart hair cut and some decent clothes so we get all dolled up and hit the town only to still get rejected but the same girls as before.
