Bizarre that they're giving up him (+Mandzukic) for Lukaku. As well as selling Keane to Everton, some seriously weird stuff going on at that club.

It would seem really weird if he wanted to join ManU after seeing his only real connection at the club in Pogba pretty clearly wanting out. I am still surprised Pogba and Raiola didn't put up more of a fuss about all of that.

Didn't Raiola have a ban that expired recently, he hasn't pushed because he wouldn't get his cut, probably why De Ligt seemed to take ages too

I don't think he was ever coming to Spurs, we just leaked our interest to have Betis get a move on in our negotiations and stop moving the goal posts or they will have missed out and they already have his replacement.

Right, all he cares about is his player getting a move so he gets a fee. All the better if the player is unhappy because then it’s another move.

Still don't understand this idea.

Why would we leak we want a more expensive player?

I'd love to be wrong, but surely Juve wouldn't have executives flying to London or whatever if Dybala wouldn't even consider United. Seems to have gone too far to believe suggestions that he just won't join them.

Also we didn’t leak it. It was reported in Italy before AG et al posted it on Twitter. They probably saw the link and got a tentative confirmation from the club.

Has always seemed Juve are touring him out and we said we’re interested. Has only ever seems plausible should Eriksen leave though.

I posted about his agent (brother) the other day. After reading that I’ve been convinced he will only end up at clubs that will pay him silly wages.

They’d been punting him out all over Europe since January so it seems he will leave. I suspect the only way we’d get him was if there was little interest from those clubs. We’d be a great option for him though.

I still think another forward type player is imperative. Lo Celso is less important for me at this time and I doubt Eriksen is going anywhere.
Eriksen needs a challenge to his position and someone to rotate with the guy plays way too much

Representatives coming to London when manure is always touted to be the destination surely is facilitating our discussions as well, no?

Doubt we will ever know the details but I somehow believe we are part of the bigger picture. What's taking so long to be honest, if manure is supposedly the "only one" interested?

Yeah smacks of his brother sensing a big pay day. Especially as the player is supposedly keen to stay. Tallies with the £350k demand and surely rules us out.

Independent (Delaney) suggesting it could be seperate deals, maybe he really doesn't fancy Utd?

See the press reporting he's asked for 350 k wages at Utd ! The surreal suggestion that he'd ever come to us has come from where I wonder ? and what advantage has been gained from this planted rumour and by whom ?

We were trying to pressure Betis, probably to say look we could sign Dybala for 80 million, no way is GLC worth 75...

Looks like they called our bluff though
