    Fights happen at training all the time I wouldn't judge him for that but the fact he hasn't came out and said anything about this is what gets me. It's disrespectful to the club, the players and the fans.

    As good as he is it's time for him to go hope he'll never win the champions league at PSG

    He's a cracking player to watch let's be honest. Capable of sheer quality, but he'll never be anything close to Leo and for that reason his Barca departure is inevitable and he knows it.

    Barcelona forward Neymar has agreed a five-year contract with PSG and could complete a 220m euros (£197m) move next week. (Source: RMC) https://t.co/5ovswzqIs3

    Matic to Man United is a fantastic signing if it all goes through. One not many will talk about, but it's big.

    40 Million, not cheap, but I guess it allows Pogba to play further forward.

    Matic Herrera
    Pogba

    Quite a well balanced midfield three, especially if he can get Persic in too

    If United get Perisic and Aurier they'll be unreal in the EPL next season.

    He'd be a decent signing. Not sure why they're after Perisic tbh. He's not bad but nothing special.

    Excellent delivery from the wing, exactly what they need with Lukaku up front..

    If they get those two it will mean a lot of their players are awkward on the ball though, not going to get much free flowing football with players like Aurier, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Matic, Fellaini, Perisic, Rashford and Lukaku.

    Perisic isn't awkward on the ball. Either is Aurier. Or Matic or Rashford.

    Nobody will give a * about free flowing football if Mourinho can make them challengers for the league.

    They are in a way I think, Perisic I think is one of those players with a clumsy touch a lot, reminds me of Commons in a way where he hits a ball very cleanly but his control is pretty poor although has good pace and sharp, Matic is slow and stiff, Aurier is a player who likes to kick and run, although better technique than Valencia and Rashford has a pretty poor touch and control. Lukaku also has poor control and the ball bounces off him a lot, similar to Fellaini and Bailly and Smalling.

    Even Pogba and Martial who I would class as good technical players with nice control give the ball away a lot as well.

    They could be one of those teams who always win and then lose the ball quickly. Could be decent on the counter, probably have players like Blind, Herrera, Mata and Mkhitaryan who like to play with more possession and creativity ripping their hair out. Not sure what style Lindelof is cant mind ever seeing him tbh.

    Again I feel like United are spending a * load of money on players that aren't going to take them to the next level.

    Luz, the resident Benfica fan, wasn't overly disappointed about losing Lindelof.

    Lukaku will get goals but I just don't think he's a top echelon striker. His touch and control is awful at times and he's a bit of a flat track bully who goes missing in bigger games. That might change at United, mind.

    Matic had a great season when Mourinho won the league with Chelsea 3 seasons ago. He was rotten the year after and, although he did his bit last season, he still wasn't back to his best. £40 million is a lot of money for him.

    Aye, an unusual style of team though. Especially compared to other big sides around the now who all seem to have got more technical players and play with decent possession and creativity. Atletico are probably the roughest of all the best teams about the now but even they would look pretty technical in comparison with players like Luis, Gabi, Koke, Saul, Carrasco and Griezmann

    That would be an interesting return. I'd like to see that happening.
