"talks are ongoing" apparently.. seriously fed up with this phrase.. we've been speaking for over two weeks now, what's their to bloody talk about?

Who cares as long as he signs eventually? Its only frustrating if we spend a lot of time trying to make it happen and then fail to do so
 
Wasn't Thiago a bigger let down than Herrera?

Nah, because Herrera was the last day - it was the end of the road and I realised that we'd done naff all for the whole summer other than sign Fellaini. At least after we missed out on Thiago, we still had the hope that we'd get someone else in. Crazy transfer window.
 
How long until van Gaal isn't interested and he's talking about Buttner sharing his philosophy?

How long until the brown acid (that LvG took) wears off is the question? Considering if he passes up on Kroos - if that deal is at all possible of course, and the links to Robben & Sneijder too?!

Thats not the reaction from our new manager we expected - quite the opposite in fact. We've money to spend & we dont need another summer of shambolic transfer activity IF the right top-class players are available..
 
Now that the Kroos transfer looks unlikely I really hope we get this done before the WC. We need some good news.
 
So many fecking transfer threads regress into an entrenched debate between two camps. One saying it will happen. One saying it won't. Despite each being as utterly clueless as the other about what is actually happening. This can go on for pages.

Transfer threads are fairly fecking tedious at the best of times but at least discussions about whether a player will be a good signing and how he might be used make some sort of sense. Even if only hypothetical. This latest tangent is beyond pointless.

Spot on.
 
The word seemed to be that it is pretty much done. If it is we really ought to confirm it ASAP to take the attention/flak away from us a bit.
 
Last I heard talks were ongoing.. what there is to talk about for over a week mind I haven't a clue. We must be one of the worst clubs when it comes to getting over the line with transfers.

We will be haggling over a few million, probably trying to spread it over about 10 years knowing us.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if he is not a " Van Gaal" target, waiting for Jamie Jackson to come out and share this. My muppet dream is already crashed, chasing fecking James McCarthy:lol:
 
Southampton manager is staying and according to Jamie ''muppet killer' Jackson one of the terms is that Shaw won't be sold.
This would certainly explain the long delay with no news, if negotiations were ongoing with Poch and keeping Shaw was one of the "deal breakers"
 
I know he's only reporting what he hears but I hate Jamie Jackson.

Where have you read this?

It's not on his timeline or Guardian page.

This Pochettino has only been broken by Metro and they've no mention of Luke Shaw.
 
Jackson hasn't said anything. Can people just verify themselves before losing their shit.

Even this Pochettino news is only broken by Metro newspaper.
 
Thing is, didn't Woodward say only last week that deals were being done? This Jamie Jackson where is he getting his info from because I'm amazed how someone can go from saying Kroos was agreed to him saying it wasn't and LvG has called everything off. And now Shaw is 'apparently' staying...if I was a betting man I'd bet on Jamie Jackson being full of shit.
