According to big Clive on itv just now he said something along the lines of barca may be looking to offload. Not having the best/ game tournament. But he was very good at atletico.
Worth a punt at the right price? I know he's 29 and not getting any younger but he has quality and would give us options.

I wouldn't mind him, he's still a very good player. Just not Barca quality, was always a strange move for him to make. Mourinho would love his work rate.
Worth noting we were in for him last year but he chose Barca instead, understandably so.

Surprised we haven't been linked with him yet. We are every other summer.

29. As I clearly stated in the op.
He's got a couple of years in the tank at full tilt.

Does your swede in seeing the headlines. Every year we have Gaitan rumours.
Not seen much of him, but anyone who stays in te Portugese league that long ain't for me.
Transfer of the season so far: him to Atletico.

I think he'll turn out good for them. I agree I didn't particularly want him at Utd but I think he's one of those players that will come in and do very well at a team like atletico

Yeah wouldn't surprise me. Their record of buying from the Portugese league is top dollar.
But hopefully Mourinho has a few next-gen targets in mind

On moving to Barça he said something like he was looking forward to not having to run so much.
