Plain Speaking said:I dont think you can assume he is ours.carlos92 said:I think you can rule out the rags as they have recently refused to pay what Sao Paulo want for Lucas Moura. Juventus wanted to sign Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero at the time we were very interested in signing them players. Unless they have the funds to match us this is looking increasing unlikely.
Yes our owners have the finance but whether we choose to be the highest bidder with every player we chase is another question.
We declined to outbid Chelsea on Hazard.
(Some sources say we backed out leaving Utd and Chelsea chasing him at the end!)
I assume the board will make a reasoned call on what they are prepared to pay.
I would think Arsenal would prefer RVP to go to Juve than Manchester.
Juventus are more than likely looking at alternatives right now. It might not be at all impossible for them to try and go for Dzeko again or go even go for Berbatov as cheaper option.
