By Meier Go To PostThe Hollywood Reporter article says it is at $75m outside of China already with 37 or so foreign markets to go apparently. It's off to a good start in Germany and another country ($15m plus in each) so I think $200m outside of NA (if you assume only $50m here) is conservative. Whatever the case may be, it will end up doing $600-700m worldwide at least I bet and will undoubtedly get a sequel (or two).37 very small markets and 75M is for a whole week and in some cases 2 weeks. A normal multiplier for a movie of that genre would be of 2.3 to 2.5 times the opening weekend so 200M$ worldwide isn´t that conservative, especially with so many new releases coming out on the following weeks.
Warcraft predictions for the US have been lowered to 21M$ for the weekend, that would be shockingly low.

By Francis Go To PostOffering Isco in order to sign Pogba?
What a world.
Nah. Isco is staying.
James would leave
In: Pogba, Verratti and Morata, Asensio
Out: James, Jese (loan), Kovacic (loan) and potentially Isco (although I think Isco will make the cut).
Danilo is staying, the club has committed to him.
Coentrao (out with injury next 6 months)/Nacho backup LBs to Marcelo.
Win.

By Frustrated_me Go To PostIn: Pogba, Verratti and Morata, AsensioYeah this seems like the best outcome from what we know now.
Out: James, Jese (loan), Kovacic (loan) and potentially Isco (although I think Isco will make the cut).
Danilo is staying, the club has committed to him.
Coentrao (out with injury next 6 months)/Nacho backup LBs to Marcelo.

Dunno about any serious links to Veratti though
By Frustrated_me Go To PostIn: Pogba, Verratti and Morata, AsensioThought the idea was to buy and sell Morata?

By Hitch Go To PostThought the idea was to buy and sell Morata?I think it still is but Zidane looks like he's going to rotate a lot and incoming ban so there's room for Morata, it's not like he was starting with Juve anyways, he can compete with Benzema.
We have a lot of ways forward, it's looking good so far, all things are leading to Zidane leading the transfer window.

Suarez is going to kill Uruguay´s manager, he was so ready to come in that when he realized he wasn´t going to play, he punched the bench.
