Robert Lewandowski

I can easily see him go to City if they pay up. With Lewandowski the ONLY important factor when choosing new club will be money. If Zenit offer him €10m a year he'll tell Bayern to feck off.
 
This transfer wouldn't excite me because I know he would force v.Persie out of position. I like RvP as the main striker, and he should stay there.
 
Andy Jacobs on Talksport was just saying that the club had accidentally posted an article earlier today announcing his signing with quotes from the player, and that before it could be taken down Paddy Power took a screenshot, is this happening or is somebody about to lose their job?
 
Dortmund have won less league titles but they've won the biggest trophy there is - Champions League (1997). And in recent times (last 20 years) they've won league just as many times if not more.
They have still won more trophies and consistently qualified for the Champions League. They are a bigger club than Dortmund. Nottingham Forest have won the biggest one twice
 
Didn't the same thing happen with a Ronaldo story and the club twitter account not too long ago? Somebody shopped up an image and spread it around the interne? Or had they actually hacked the twitter account?


something like that...how people fall for this shite I have no idea.

Mental stuff.
 
Just read elsewhere that Paddy Power is already tweeting that they got the wool pulled over their eyes and that the whole thing is a fake.

It affected their odds on the likelihood of the signing too, they'll need to improve their checks next time.

Happens every year. Anyone remember a few years back the excitement that went around when someone found a player profile on the official website for Ozil? Turned out to be a glitch in the system and there were 100's of profiles for players who were not Manchester United players. Good stuff.

The Kagawa interview reported by that fake Japanese reporter twitter last summer that got ESPN and a bunch of others to fall for it?
 
We have actually have the club genuinely announce a signing on the manutd.com website that didn't happen in the end. I am waiting until we see a player sat next to that weird looking David Gill replacement with a pen in hand before I get excited.

Who? Ramsey? It was announced that we had agreed a fee with Cardiff, not that we had signed him.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce it has agreed terms with Cardiff for the transfer of Aaron Ramsey."

It is a pretty solid lead though.
 
What about ljajic, even had him holding a utd shirt, and then that failed too
 
Where will he end up? Don't think we will sign him, unless Rooney leaves.
Even if Rooney leaves he is not the ideal replacement. Rooney doesnt play striker anymore, so there is no use replacing a CAM with a striker. And neither he nor RVP are going to be as effective if they play the CAM role. So if Rooney leaves, then I hope we sign a proper #10. Thats why I said earlier this guy is a want more than a need.

We already have one in Kagawa. If Rooney leaves, the best way we can replace him would be to bring in a left winger IMO, in addition to a central midfielder (which is needed anyways).

Lewandowski is obviously a great player, but I don't think we should get him, unless we plan on scrapping wingers altogether. If he came, then Kagawa would again be shunted to the wing with Van Persie probably behind Lewandowski, which isn't the way forward in my opinion, as good as he is.
 
But that was factually accurate? Don't see your point.

My point is a simple one: even seemingly solid leads mean nothing until the deal is signed, sealed and delivered. Thus, I will not be getting excited about transfer odds etc.

Oh yeah I so forgot about Kagawa! And what happens if he gets injured again? Who played there when he was injured for 3 months? You need two options in every single position.
 
Kagawa is a big disincentive for class AMs to join Man Utd - you'll be fecked about and misused while we play fat boys is the message.
