Reputed PL target valued at £85 million

Well the player himself has said he won't leave palermo as he's guaranteed every start and he knows he can make money later in his career, so i think we should probably let him develop... hopefully he has one shit season and we can snap him up :)

If United or Arsenal spend that much on anybody I'l eat my hat. He's just not in the price range they go after, not even close. They might like the idea of him, but under the present respective regimes that isn't happening in a month of Sundays.. If Barca and/or Real Madrid are in the running it's unfortunately pretty much guaranteed he ain't coming to sunny England. Unless he one of the few 'world class' players who actually fancy a challenge ;)

He's already rebuffed Barca and Real though. He doesn't think he'll start there.

Interesting, didn't realise that! In that case, and even at a more realistic 30m, is there anyone in the running besides Chelsea and ourselves? Maybe he could be the signing Rooney et al want United to make to show their commitment to bringing in star players, or maybe they've just spent it on his new wage packet.
