Can’t see him moving though; no one is paying £80m for Zaha even in this crazy market. Utd have a sell on clause think it’s 20% or 25% that Palace wanted them to drop as a prerequisite for Wan Bissaka moving but with no success. He signed a 5yr contract last year so he might be there for a while.

Agree on the £80m figure though £70m with a sell-on clause might work, the question is who would take a punt on him.

I don't think any of the top 6 will unless they need a panic buy come late July or August due to injury of key players in training or friendlies.

 
Another person of interest is Maguire if the media are accurate with a tug of war between Utd and City.

If true one of the more interesting transfer stories.

I think he’d be better suited to United but he’ll get more money and trophies at City.

Sounds like the kind of aimless signing we would have made without the ban in place. Arsenal want him but can’t afford him, Utd need a RW and even though they are buying British they have balked at his price and Dortmund were interested but signed Brandt & Hazard For way under his value.

I can’t see what others are seeing, and I feel he is overrated. Continental teams will  be laughing their heads off at some of these prices been thrown around.

 
We all know Utd have been weak defensively last season and City losing confidence in John Stones and with Kompany going see the need for a decent CB with EPL knowledge. 

I've read he prefers Utd yet City have offered more cash.

 
Rashford getting a 200k / week deal is utter madness.

Jovic is on less than that at RM and he's twice the player. 

This is a player who was outscored by Ashley Barnes last season. 

Ludicrous!

I agree. They also gave Phil Jones a contract until 2023 ( ? ), and Jesse Lingard £100k not too long ago. Alexis Sanchez is on £350k and is rarely playing. If United can't think of better players to give their wages to, then they won't be competing with the top again any time soon.

 
Rashford on £200k a week is crazy money. He only scored 10 PL goals last season and 5,5,7 before that. 

Though United fans might CHO signing an £100k per week deal is also crazy. 

 
Barcelona were reputedly interested in him and Utd are probably over protective due to potential fan backlash if he were to start knocking them in for fun for them.

 
Man Utd are paying Rashford on £200k a week !

That's seems to me to be crazy money.

Goodness I'm old enough to remember when £200,000 was a decent transfer fee for a player going to Man Utd ! :oldboy:

 
Arsenal bidding £40m for Zaha when Palace value him at £70m is peak Arsenal.

No way where Barcelona interested in him, it was just his agent putting stories out in the press.

They wanted to pay in instalments also. 

For whatever reason their finances are in a mess. The new stadium was meant to take them to the next level, but mismanagement & poor performances in the PL & continentally has hampered them. Scarily enough read they are potentially going to post a loss this year, and when you look at their squad there is no quality bar their 2 forwards.

 
United have just had a £70 million bid for Maguire rejected.

Incredible that Leicester turned that down.

fixed it for you.

 
So Benitez leaves Newcastle and issues a statement saying the club didn't share his vision. 

Two days later he's joining a club from China earning himself £12m a year. 

Now, call me a cynic.... but it's taken us over a week to negotiate Lampard's arrival... Yet Benitez manages to leave Newcastle and find a new club within two days? Me thinks his "vision" was more closely linked to his bank account than any ambitions he may have had for Newcastle football club.

Hes a shyster, he spends years cultivating a relationship with the fans while doing f**k all with the team and completely blaming the board for all the problems. So then when he leaves its everyone elses fault and he would love to stay and fix things but the board are terrible people.....

Oh hello Chinese fella, how much a a year, yeah see you at work tomorrow.

He's done very well at Newcastle. Everyone knows Mike Ashley is a sh*te owner as he was before Benitez got to Newcastle and he will continue to be. Newcastle-fans have wanted him out for what seems like forever by now.
