Manchester United Chases Carlos Baleba…
The folks at Manchester United are dreaming big as they show interest in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. Rumor has it, they’d need to shell out more than a mountain of gold—over £100m in fact, to secure this 21-year-old midfielder. That sum makes Paul Pogba’s 2016 price tag look like pocket change. Some United fans are nodding and pointing to Arsenal and Chelsea’s costly signings as shiny examples to follow. A fan named Ocansey hinted that Man Utd should just take a deep breath and leap into the overflowing money pool like Scrooge McDuck.
Brighton CEO Paul Barber isn’t making things easy, keeping potential buyers enchanted and guessing Baleba’s future like a magician at a magic show. But do all fans think shelling out £100m is smart? Reader Drizztray77 thinks United should aim for a goalkeeper instead, as if Baleba was expected to score hat-tricks in every game and save a cat from a tree. Meanwhile, some like Blacksocks humorously suggest that instead of breaking the bank on Baleba, United should hire Brighton’s talent scouts—maybe sprinkle a little of that Brighton magic dust on Old Trafford.
