Perhaps a little generous.A journalist using the term "fanboys".

To think that he is actually payed for this crap.
MEN still saying we aren't interested in Fabinho.
The below is taken from MEN just now:
The Fabinho situation explained
Unfortunately, the reality is United will not pursue a deal for Fabinho, which the M.E.N. reported earlier this month. Mourinho drew up a list of possible defensive midfield options months ago and Fabinho wasn’t on it.
A risky piece to put out, especially with how smug and insulting it is. They're going to come out with any temainin reputation completely destroyed if we do sign him now.
They have to. It's a ploy to try and establish some credibility. Going absolutely opposite to one of the most reliable journos out there and coming across as 100% sure about it. If something goes wrong and Fabinho doesn't come to us, they'll share this article repeatedly to remind everyone how they were bang on. If things go as usual and we sign Fabinho, no harm done as everyone thinks they're clueless feckwits anyways.
Fair enough
Really weird article though, dont see professional journos going absouletely ballisitic often.
If United had submitted an offer for Fabinho (they haven’t), why would Fabinho talk as if Monaco hadn’t received one? Answer: Because Monaco haven’t received one.
That's the problem. They aren't.
This is the logic of a 5 year old. They then go on to take a swipe at Di Marzio for no reason.

I also love their little racist dig at "foreign journos", like they wouldn't have a clue. Disgusting cowards.If Fabinho joins us, MEN should be blacklisted
Some fanboys are unhappy about that and are trying to make it happen, citing certain sections of the foreign media.
Shit article. Hope this is just another case of MEN being uninformed and clueless.The below is taken from MEN just now:
The Fabinho situation explained
Twice this week the Monaco midfielder has spoken about the possibility of joining United, calling it ‘tempting’ and even being asked about his squad number on Brazilian television.
It’s a desperate tactic but it excites the online community. Fabinho is particularly popular among United fanboys who want the club to sign him as their defensive midfielder. He is ranking high on Google Trends and would be a quality addition and he’s also capable of playing at right-back, which would ease the workload on Antonio Valencia. Fabinho also briefly played for Mourinho at Real Madrid.

Here’s a pertinent question: If United had submitted an offer for Fabinho (they haven’t), why would Fabinho talk as if Monaco hadn’t received one? Answer: Because Monaco haven’t received one.
What’s mad is, in modern football, some fanboys don’t just cheer on players but they also cheer on ‘transfer gurus’ transfer ‘specialists’.
The likelihood is intermediaries and agents are fabricating or exaggerating interest to smoke out an actual bidder.

Samuel Luckhurst is the Man Utd editor. Hmmm.Bloody hell, that MEN article is so bitter and childish!
How did that get past editing?!
Strangest article I've read in a long time, I mean what kind of journo starts a paragraph with, "What's mad is" and talks about "fanboys".
Bizarre.

That sentence is written in the form of 10 year old. There is no other explanation. "What's mad is,"Strangest article I've read in a long time, I mean what kind of journo starts a paragraph with, "What's mad is" and talks about "fanboys".

Di Marzio has a stellar record when one of the parties involved are Italian, but for the rest he's a bit hit and miss, like everybody else.
what has he been miss on? genuinely asking because from what i've seen his record has been impeccable, often when he/his associates don't know something they'll flat out say "we don't know/haven't gotten any updates on that since"
Is he feck, Luckhurst knows less than us of the Cafe. And it shows in that childish, bitter article.Perhaps Luckhurst is right and Di Marzio wrong for once
A quick google search will return numerous misses. They all get fed half-truths and lies by numerous agents and intermediaries - it should be no surprise they get things wrong.

What a copout by you. Someone asks of examples of misses and your response is "just search Google"? You are the one saying how shite Di Marzio, so back it up with legitimate evidence not "go look for yourself"
I hope so but still a bit sceptical.Is he feck, Luckhurst knows less than us of the Cafe. And it shows in that childish, bitter article.
Me too, it's a transfer I really want to happen so I'm not getting myself too excited just yet.I hope so but still a bit sceptical.
Who to trust, Di Marzio or a source that used the term fanboys about 6 times in their article, hmm...

Okay.One of his (Di Marzio) staff reported today that talks are ongoing.
Secondly, you're absolutely right re: bidding and not getting him. However MEN are flat out stating no bid and insulting anyone that is saying anything different.
