The rags will offer him just as much money to play in his preferred position, I don't know why you think he's going to be fooled into playing a position he doesn't want to, or even that Pep would consider tricking a player into the squad on false pretences which seems to be what you're advocating.
For €100m would be their style alright.
A new CM is our most important signing this summer for me. An injured Gundogan, Fernandinho and Fernando are not the rocks on which to build a side.
and dont forget ronaldo on the left, bale on the right and Kroos just sitting behind them............
Aye??? Who said he would??? I was being ironic, dom
The point you have missed is that I'd sooner listen to a coach in the guise of pep rather than peg. His idea of a fullback will be very different to the one expressed by Maureen, hence I stated that direct intervention from our coach will be needed this year. You're alluding to united giving him guramtees of position, splendid, i disagree and willing wait...
But still a fullback. Lahm played 90% of his games for bayern under Pep as the pivot, I'm sure Fabinho would be fine with that, but that's not what Zin is suggesting, he's suggesting Pep tells him he's coming to play in midfield and then plays him at Right Back exlcusively.
Not to mention if we have any interest in Walker, we aren't looking for a fullback who comes inside to play in midfield.
Well the one I want seems to be everyone's flavour of the month, I'd take silva over mbappe at present, however, I think he'll be the hardest to nail down!

Again it was you who said he has stated he won't want to play fb, I merely countered this with the idea that shops do stay open, regardless of preferences...
You don't half get your knickers in a twist sometime, dom
Fabinho has told his suitors he isn't interested in being played as a FB. United have told him via Mendes that he'll be Carrick's replacement and Pogba's partner in that midfield. I think he's going there mate unless we suddenly have a change of heart and promise him he'll only be a CM.
As for his declaration, reminds me of the god that is James Milner... money talks fella!!!
Now come on Dom, if you think James moved because he was promised cm then you're buying the greedy little ****s motives. There are no such things drawn in to contracts, only dollar signs!
Actually it was Ahsan who said it, then you came along and said he, like James Milner wouldn't get a choice because "there's no positions on a contract".
You don't half try to weasel out of what you've said sometimes.
So there's no evidence to support such a claim? Okie dokieIt's not a link, @BillyShears said he had it on good authority
You might rate Pep higher than Mourinho, not everyone does, and a player who started his career in Portugal, got bought by Madrid and played for Madrid under Mourinho, with Jorge Mendes as his agent, on the balance of probabilities probably thinks very highly of Mourinho.
Your theory that we'll buy him to play where he doesn't want to play because he rates Guardiola so highly ins't convincing me to be honest.
Haha. Lads please don't suck me into your fight. I've got enough fights of my own to deal with!

Neymar's said he's a life long City fan and is moving here for free in the summer, I have it on good authority.
It's easy this lark.
You're stretching now fella, he played 20 mins for Madrid first team and moved on.... we better all shut up shop now then, he's a Mendez player, united have the monopoly and we get the scraps!!!
I can never understand that logic. You counter an argument by giving a hilariously absurd example to prove my point wrong? I don't get it. Everybody knows that they're not signing Ronaldo or Bale or Kroos. But that doesn't mean that they'll never again sign a world class player. Hell, they signed Pogba and Zlatan last season, didn't they? So while the players I listed may not go to United, in what way is that deserving of ridicule? There certainly is a considerable chance that all of those transfers happen.
At this stage, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns that David Gill, Ed Woodward and Jorge Mendes are all the same person.Who was the last Mendes player we signed out of interest? Mangala in 2014?
No worries mate. No offence taken. Transfer nonsense is mostly shite anyway.wasnt ridiculing you mate, that wasnt my intention anyway. sorry.
its just they get linked with every big name under the sun every summer and its gets a bit tedious thats all.
