Transfer Tweets - 2016

[Dong Fangzhuo]

Can't say I'm too fussed. Looks like a poor fit for LvG zombieball, and we need instant quality more than potential.

 

[Trizy]

I'm not too fussed either, he could prove me wrong but I doubt it. What annoys me though is if we really wanted him why leave it so late?

 

[Impulse]

Have you considered the possibility that we did go for him and he simply chose the much better team?

 

[Trizy]

I have but it's no shock Bayern have a greater pulling power than us at the moment.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Have you considered the possibility that we did go for him and he simply chose the much better team?

Many people seem to gloss over this possibility.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Many people seem to gloss over this possibility.

I think that is exactly what has happened and who could blame him.

 

[salford_]

Talk from some guy at M.E.N. LVG pulled the plug on this move. Pretty big hint if you ask me

 

[Striker10]

Sure but don't make it true right? No one knows. We've many targets i'm sure.

 

[sullydnl]

There's often talk that we pulled the plug on players - usually right after they've gone to a big club in a better position than us. Either we actually missed out on them (which is bad) or we really did pull the plug and are just awful at controlling the media narrative around the club (which is also bad).

Or journalists who were making things up continue making things up so as to avoid being exposed as a journalist who makes things up

I call bullshit, so why didn't he pull the plug back in feb?

M.E.N. just looking for clicks as per usual.

Football journalists don't have some sort of massive hidden bias against us, yet they've been consistently reporting inept dealings on our part over the last three years. Even if everything they've written has been entirely untrue (which in itself is a fairly ridiculous thing to believe) then the club is still failing to properly control the way we're being presented in the media. Which is not a positive thing.

 

[the hea]

 

[Cheekiey]

Wouldn't mind him at United, 17 goals - 8 assists who plays like Alexis Sanchez... Yes wouldn't mind at all

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

We tend to leave our business till late in the transfer window so we'll be feeding off scraps

 

[Acquire Me]

We go for players we cant get and waste time and resources chasing them all summer. After that, you statement applies.

 

[Adisa]

Not entirely true. Majority of our signings under lvg have been done early.

 

[walkinhop]

Hopefully because someone pulled Gaal's plug

LVG pulled the plug on Renato Sanches and Bayern snap him up immediately.

Does this mean we're lumped with LVG for next season too?! Give me a break!

 

[Scorpy]

I call bullshit, so why didn't he pull the plug back in feb?

That's exactly when he vetoed the move, according to the Telegraph.

 

[groovyalbert]

Whoever Leicester go in for, can we just jump in on it?

 

[Cassidy]

That's exactly when he vetoed the move, according to the Telegraph.

Sounds dodgey to me, we were still scouting the player in April sounds dodgey to me.
Also if it was Vetoed in Feb why the feck would he have sanctioned a bid in Jan?

Yep, it doesn't make much sense. I think it's just the club trying to save face after Sanches rejected us for Bayern.

 

[Crossie]

Not entirely true. Majority of our signings under lvg have been done early.

And the by far best one, Martial, was done rather late. Not exactly a 'scrap'.

 

[Crossie]

Make sure Woodward follows di Marzio on Twitter to know who to go after.

 

[bucky]

Tolisso supposedly.

 

[simonhch]

I'm glad this thread has descended into another debate thread, who needs fecking tweets anyway?

 

[FromTheBench]

Doing well for Bayern's future development if they get Gabigol and Dembele.

 

[Cassidy]

I reckon they will only get one of them

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[rotherham_red]

Would be a good fit for us at the 10 position. Definitely a Mourinho type of player too

Yeah he's a little weak but pretty damn quick and really positive in his play despite his size. Actually reminds me of David Silva with a better workrate.

Definitely agree on the Silva comparison

 

[Devil may care]

Bernardo Silva is talented but looks like a gust of wind would blow him over. What says the Caf's #1 Portugueezer? @Sly

@JPRouve thinks if I'm not mistaken that Lemar has been better this season?

Lemar > Bernardo for the RM spot

 

[ghagua]

And he signs for Bayern in 3...2...1

The transfer window isn't even open yet, give it time.

 

[JPRouve]

Yeah, Bernardo Silva struggled a little bit this season while Lemar has consolidated his position but I really like Bernardo Silva.
