Without a doubt he's gonna be short term , but ibra will also be short term at man u I expect that announcement soon too .
Zlatan is a Mourinho-type signing, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him at Utd next season. It would be a shame for Martial - he should really be starting for them up front. His ceiling is so high, so the more he plays, the better. They also need to find room for Rashford, Lindgard, Memphis, and Januzaj. I expect at least two of them to leave in the summer.

Mourinho has such a horrible track record with youth development that it is pretty shocking United, with their history, would bring him on board.

If Rashford or Lingard left there'd be mayhem. Memphis and Januzaj will probably go (on loan?). Shame about the latter, he showed some promise under Moyes.

Vardy to Arsenal. Strange signing. Vardy plays to his strengths in a counter-attacking side (like Leicester!), not a possession-based side. He needs space to run into, and most teams defend deeply against Arsenal.

Mahrez on the wing would've been a better fit, imo.

whereas I agree with this ^^^ he's better than giroud and 20m?!?!

That barely buys a bag of chips in the PL so I understand Arse buying him and as for Vardy, he has no reason to doubt his own ability

He is definitely better than Giroud, no doubt about that! And you're right about price - 20m is fair, and he's a short-term solution at 29 years old. He also has loads of grit and determination, something the Arsenal sides of late have lacked.

After Vardy, a winger and a CB and Arsenal are looking solid next season.

I can't believe Leicester had a 20m buyout clause for him in that new contract!!! Any team in the Premier League could put that kind of money on the table.

Admittedly stuff like this isn't always credible, but I read somewhere that the release clause could only be activated by clubs in the Champs League. Arsenal, Spurs, or Man City are the only three clubs the clause could be activated by.

Spurs already have a better striker (imo) than Vardy in Harry Kane, and Vardy isn't box office enough for City. It was Arsenal or no one. Or another club prepared to pay significantly more than 20m..

Ah, CL clause makes a whole lot more sense.

Apparently, John Henry (fsg) decided that "footballers don't honour their contracts so we decided not to"
with regards to the 40million +£1 offer from arsenal which should have triggered the over 40million clause in his contract.

So, feeling conned, when Suarez stayed and renegotiated his contract he made sure Stevie g was in the meetings with him so they couldn't lie to him and blame his english/communication skills.

They placed a 70 million pound clause in the renegotiated contract and that season he made sure a £70mill + offer would come by putting in some of the best performances I've ever seen at anfield....and I'm not a kid

I've always quite liked Zlatan, that's about to change!

we'll smash arsenal:)
Unless Arsenal buys a quality ST, RW, and CB this summer, I'd go along with that.

Read somewhere that Kante has a 20m release clause too. Madness not to sign him for that money, imo. I'd shift Ramsey to make room.

Bbc?? Big black cocks? Lol I'm kidding . I seen it last night on ESPN about man u. And ibra. It was literally released at like 230 300 I'm the morning. How about the euros , there has been some great goals scored , at least 2 fantastic goals each day. Any teams stand out as the strongest team in the tournament? I think Italy had the strongest looking team , by the way they played the entire game dominating, and not only dominating but dominating a team such as Belgium who is ranked top 5 in the world
What you guys think
