I'm really not convinced by Ramos, £30m+ for a 29 year old CB? I know we need a bit of experience but really?

Plus he is a right dirty bd everytime I've seen him play which drives me nuts!

Should have 4 years of top class football in him. I know he is a dirty sneaky bar steward but would love to see him in a United shirt.

This for me too. Plus you get that fear factor back, imagine being a striker and heading towards a combo of Ramos and Rojo

He's one of the best centre halves in the world , a leader , vastly experienced etc etc he would be a magnificent signing

Really is quite astonishing to see some fans turning their noses up at Ramos.

What a signing if we can pull it off but it's a big if. Graham Hunter was adamant about it last night on TalkSport.

Normally pretty reliable graham hunter.

Ramos puts that bit of spite back that's been missing for a while. And half his reds would have been yellows in the premier league

[Cie]

About as reliable as a journalist can be I guess?

He basically all but named his source as Ramos' agent/brother.

Ramos is the real deal, finished article, horrible to play against I can imagine. Would be a great signing.

Absolutely this. You don't play at RM for as many games as he has unless you're top notch. Get him in !

Same with the Spain squad as well, he has many caps!!

I still think this will end up with him signing a new contract, although I wouldn't be upset with Otamendi if he were the alternative

Mascherano for Barca shows the error of that assumption

Still, a good buy if it comes off.

So we kick off the new season proper against Spurs, live on BT.

Hoping for a better start this time.

5 weeks tomorrow!

So Ramos was just squeezing for more money and Falacos off to Chelski?

Falcaos off to Chelski?

You know what's gonna happen there, dontcha!?

Yep it's going to be the start of a number of s in Jose's armour as he is forced to play him to justify his decision and he constantly fails to score.

Or more likely Jose will play to his strengths, Falcao will develop a telepathic understanding with Fabregas and we'll be regretting it all season!!

Option two the most likely imo

Why? What factors and evidence suggest that? Pure pessimism?

What assumption? Not sure I've assumed anything here. It's optimism.
