We'll sell De Gea to Barca in the summer imho.
Asmir Begovic - How much is that goalie in the window?
- Thread starter Drifter
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
I'll fellate a goat if that happens.
I'm sure someone else has picked this up already, but what is this utter bollocks?
Why the feck would we want to lay out £15M on a goalkeeper we don't need?

15 rising to 20 to just competition for De Gea makes no sense tbh.
If Lindergaard leaves a Foster/Lindergaard type signing makes more sense.

Because it's bullshit.
I posted it up before reading the story, having read the story it's clearly pure fantasy on the part of the idiot who wrote it.
Arse? Possibly, but I can't see them spending a big chunk of their war chest on him, not £15M anyway.

Shit article. No quotes, nothing new, just putting some names together.
The second paragraph is my favorite:
Experienced Begovic has 149 appearances in club level. Young inexperienced De Gea has 153 appearances in club level. Shitty telegraph.

Because we can't find the midfielder that we want?

De Gea playing in midfield? Makes sense, he is Spanish after all, and people are saying that Spanish midfielders are good.
He looks good with the ball at his feet.
If he only was 5'7'' and our midfield problems would have been sorted.
And ginger

feck sake, we're not buying Begovic to challenge de Gea and we are not selling de Gea either. I call bollocks.
IF this was to really happen, it would be the first signing i have ever been disappointed at.
I just cant see it happening at all, Begovic even seemed as suprised as everybody else when asked in January about the possibility.

Too good a keeper to buy as competition. A signing that would make little sense IMO
This story has been doing the round for too long now, I'm starting to get worried. If De Gea goes I'll be gutted.

The one who costs more than Bale

I do hope that transfer will fail ♫

Jesus Christ that's one of the strangest things I've read on here.
Bergovic performs well in a few matches and the whole world is after him
Which part Jake?
Don't worry. It's just Daily Fail.
Why would the club send a scout to Bosnia when Begovic plays in the PL ? Why bother going over there when it'd be much easier to do so in England ?
Might be going to see someone else and Daily Fail put 2+2 together ? Who knows..
Some good players coming out of that part of Europe these days.

In other news, Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Christian Benteke in Belgium's qualifier in Macedonia today, as a possible replacement for the inconsistent Robin Van Persie, who may be sent on loan next season with a view to a sale.
Asked why the scouting could not have been done in England at an Aston Villa match, Sir Alex Ferguson observed that Mike Phelan, in his role as United's flight organiser, needed to be kept busy. 'If ye dunnae gi'im summat te do, he'll scratch up all yer furniture an' do'is business on the new carpet.' Ferguson explained.

I remember Fergie writing in 1996 that he wanted us to have scouts in every Euro 96 match. That was 17 years ago, I'm sure the scouting system has developed since and is pretty enormous now. We've got scouts everywhere, watching tons of matches and tons of players - most of whom will never even get an offer. The idea that a United scout in the stands means an offer in the making, is simply wrong.
And what did they come back with? Karel Poborsky!
SAF said after that transfer that he would never buy purely out of a tournament ever again.
THought that he said that after Kleberson transfer.
To be fair Poborsky was a quality winger who went on to have a very good career after United, he simply never settled in England and David Beckham was made is big breakthrough season 1996/97 the season he was signed. But he was a good player and can certainly see why we took the chance on him.
Plus this was iconic
Yep, he wasn't a dud or anything like that. Quality player, wrong place, wrong time. We could have scouted him for two years and still end up with the same result. Kleberson was a good player as well, but not the same quailty.
