Cheers pal. Pretty sure I’m guaranteed England, I read that host nations get at least one home tie.

Worries me slightly that I’ve shot my ticket load for the year. Hopefully the Glastonbury gods will smile on me.

i have read the qualifying host nation is guaranteed 2 home games, so I will have to be unlucky to not a dutch game!

( will end up with Slovakia vs Lichtenstein)

[jyoung]

Finished work and all of a sudden Spurs favourites to sign Coutinho and had an offer for Dybala accepted?

And Erikson is going to Utd and Rooney has actually joined Derby.

If United can't afford Dybala's wages, no way Spurs will be able to.

In Euro 96 I saw France v Holland and despite the superstars it was shit. In the groups I saw Czech v Russia and it was great. You could end up being surprised!

United could afford his wages, he didn't really want to come. About time united pulled out of such deals, rather than blow more and more on wages on players who are only half interested.

Yep, euros we got Iceland vs Hungary which was the best atmosphere I have been apart of and Portugal vs Croatia which was the worst game I've ever seen live.

how times change, eh?

Not only do players not want to go to Utd, the 'big'ger players there want out.

yep, I reckon Utd did actually call this one right - unless he smashes them in for Spurs, of course.

Supposedly Ole wants young & hungry players.

I had tickets to Portugal v Croatia but didn’t go as it clashed with Glasto. The correct call.

Yep and if the likes of lukaku and pogba want out, it can only be beneficial to united in the long term.

Need couple of modifiers, if that isn't this window it will be rectified next summer.

I get why you wouldn't want players who don't want to be there, and how it's beneficial to lose them.

But from the other side, it looks fucking dreadful. Two of the bigger players at the club - those with worldwide recognition (and there's not too many of them) - don't have confidence in Utd going forwards from here. It's much less about bigger better Euro clubs wanting them than it usually is when top Prem teams lose their bigger players.

I hear PSG are touting Neymar around in a desperate effort to try and spoil his desired move to barca. I really wouldn't be surprised if he's at Utd by the end of tomorrow, because while he doesn't fit Utd's options are limited if those two exit.

As the window closes tomorrow it’s important that we remember one key fact...

Jim White is a c**t.

That is all.

More likely that he saw a United team in decline with no CL football and raised his demands to compensate. I’m willing to bet he won’t be asking as much from Spurs.

[jyoung]

You'd imagine that the possibility of Dybala actually going to Spurs is slim. The Coutinho one is interesting though. Especially if United push for Erikson. The future of Lukaku still completely up in the air as well.

yup, Utd are known for paying some players very high wages. Why wouldn't he try to also be one of those?

And Spurs wages aren't in reality as bad as their rep. While the basic is lower the bonuses are higher.

[DareToDibble]

I can't see Spurs getting both Coutinho and Dybala, fancy it'll be one or the other... most likely Dybala as he is the same nationality as the manager.

They'll be a serious force if they do get both though.

[lost]

Sky say Dybala bid of £64.4m by spurs has been accepted. Again makes the £70m bid by Everton rejected for Zaha yesterday look silly money.
