I know this is highly controversial but what about Sakho for CB?
He’s a French international, has captained PSG and is a leader, apart from the fact that he played for the scouse scum, he’d be a perfect fit…..October 26, 2016 at 1:21 pm #1285980Interesting… but not sure Liverpool would deal with United no matter how much money you the at us for him. He’s a very good player but i think he’ll stay or go abroad.
October 26, 2016 at 1:30 pm #1286001Not sure they’d deal with us either but he’s a great player. Swap with Brittle Bones going the other way? Too good to be true….
October 26, 2016 at 1:58 pm #1286043Virgil Van Dijk is the best I’ve seen this season,he has made the massive jump from Celtic to the EPL seamlessly.He’s the right age at 25 yrs old,a monster of a man,good pace,can break out and play,takes a mean free kick and appears to be a good leader of men as well,whats not to like?.Probably the 35M plus price it would cost to get him,but even at that price I would take him in a heartbeat
October 26, 2016 at 2:06 pm #1286067He’d only be £25m as well Blacky. Or maybe £35m if little Ed is negotiating.
October 26, 2016 at 2:13 pm #1286073@ts7 – Ah yes,I forgot about factoring in the Woodward ‘dividend’ mate,make that a cool 50M then!.?
October 26, 2016 at 2:14 pm #1286079van Dijk would be a good option, proven in the EPL as well. I only mention Sakho as he’d be going reasonably cheap but with the Woodward dividend that could be up to £70m
October 26, 2016 at 2:20 pm #1286091Must admit that Van Dijk impressed me against Citeh! Never realised he was as comfortable as that on the ball. I wouldn’t fancy Sakho killyboye. He’s just too much of a loose cannon.
October 26, 2016 at 2:34 pm #1286121I don’t know, I think he fell foul of Klopp when he was trying to prove a point and I know many Liverpool fans who’d kill to have him back in the central defence. He strong, fast, reads the game well. If he could be gotten on the cheap he’d be worth a punt is all I’m saying.
October 26, 2016 at 6:09 pm #1286439Physically Sakho looks perfect. However, one has to look at why he has been frozen out at Liverpool. Doesn’t seem to be the most professional. Considering playing for United puts players even more under the spotlight, I can’t imagine things working out any better for him here. Unfortunately, I can’t really think of many players out there who we should be going for. Varane is now first choice at Madrid so he won’t be leaving. Wouldn’t mind Fonte to come in as a short term option and maybe somebody like Gimenez of Atletico but he has a relase clause of €65 million which, in the summer will probably be about £100 million sterling!
October 26, 2016 at 6:25 pm #1286472Fonté is a no good CB,mistakes in every game and poor on the ball.
We need a playing CB who also can defend.
PSV´s Hector Moreno is one of the best CB who can do all what i said above and he scores a lot of goals too.Inter´s Jeison Murillo is another option.
October 26, 2016 at 6:36 pm #1286475Zico, he breaks alot of legs as well doesn’t he!!!?
October 26, 2016 at 6:50 pm #1286490If Jose needs be to spent the cash on another CB, lets spend it on a player who can improve us.
Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli
October 26, 2016 at 6:53 pm #1286496Phil Jones should be back soon?!!
October 26, 2016 at 7:06 pm #1286526@yorkshireman200,yes he breaked his own in WC and Shaw´s last year =)
In WC he was one of the very best CB for sure.
He plays as a left CB and would be ideal combo to Bailly.October 26, 2016 at 7:27 pm #1286586Spot on about Van Dijk. Not only does he fit the profile, we would also have a good chance of signing him, which can not be said about Varane and Bonucci, for example.
October 27, 2016 at 12:35 am #1287258Sakho for UTD!
Good god, what’s the world coming to!
I say him a couple of weeks ago against UTD in EPL2 and he was crap.
I suppose those favouring him also were happy to see UTD sign Fellaini and Schneiderlin.The best prospect I’ve seen is Jose Gimenez of Atletico Madrid. Remember AM have a habit of allowing their best players to leave, perhaps it’s to clear debts. However they have a ready made replacement in Savic (ex City CB) who never made the grade in the PL. Could be a possible transfer in January.
October 27, 2016 at 7:11 am #1287321Now everyone wants Van Dijk. In 2014 I was pushing him on here and got slagged. The guy has been a monster and should’ve got him instead of Rojo. Someone needs to link me with a connection at United. I will snatch us all the right players before these other clubs do.
October 27, 2016 at 7:43 am #1287357@Alex – Fair play mate,seem to remember you rating him highly in the past.I remember once saying that I’d just seen this young kid playing for Lille who was going to be a future superstar and got shot down by one or two ‘experts’ on here.Whatever happened to Eden Hazard by the way?!.?
October 27, 2016 at 10:09 am #1287621Wouldn’t touch Sakho with a barge pole. He’s a Liverpool player, he’s clumsy, he’s unprofessional, and has a long history of weight problems.
