I don't know why people seem to attach credibility to whatever Castles says. All his articles seem to be like this one. He will list 6-7 names that we are supposedly interested in, pretty much most of the players we are linked with by other media outlets, and compose an article from that whilst acting as if he has some actual inside information.
 
Yah was talking about Sanchez. Not that I don't mind him coming, he's awesome. But at the same time it creates one hell of a formation headache.

No idea what Freds like if i'm honest, haven't watched him play ever I don't think.

Sanchez on the right, a possibility? Or Martial, Sanchez and Jesse all interchanging positions behind Lukaku?

Isnt that always the case. United will have a list of few players and assigned priority level to all of them. But those position will change due to a lot of factors. Like mutual interests, economical factors etc.
so dont think Castle needs to be blamed here. And getting that list of 6-7 players is an inside info.

In that case its an inside info that everyone already seems to have. The players he mentions are Pulisic, Malcolm, Fred, Sanchez, Goretzka and Lemar. Pretty much all these players with the exception of Lemar (who he says won't come anyway) have already been linked to us by other media outlets. So either he is simply recycling that news or his supposed inside info isn't really inside as pretty much everyone outside seems to already have that info.

How do you know his list is correct on some of those at least he was hours behind other sources?

It's amazing how often posters give credit to reporters for just repeating what everyone else is saying. Especially when they later claim their favorite was the first to break the info. :lol:

I am sure they read all the fans forums. The fans are their sources not anyone at the clubs. People on here say we should have been after Sanchez and hey presto we are supposedly after Sanchez.
 
Without even clicking the story, I imagine it’s either a loan offer or some ‘buy now, pay in 2022’ nonsense!

:lol: Was just about to say this, I imagine it's 'can we have a handout pleeeease?'

EDIT: Pretty much, loan with no fee involved and a €20m (£17.8m) option to buy with an extra €3m (£2.7m) in add-ons.

Pathetic club.

There was an instance on Talking Reds where that actually got proven. Poster created a thread about a player. Two days later it shows up on sky quoting some other source, as we traced back through each source it finally came back to the some journal quoting the the OP.

Which is why sensible people should just wait and see who we sign and not get too over excited by newspaper rumours. :)

Fecking cheapskates.
 
Surprised Inter ever let Coutinho go. Player that pay part of threir own transfer fee seem right down their alley.
 
"Phil' = the player who just wanted to leave the 'Pool and join a bigger club.

full disclaimer: I have no fav journalist and I dont follow any of them. but having said that, may be he just confirmed from his source that the news in all other outlets are correct and indeed this is our list.

What my point is, every club has a list and some journalist who happen to know people inside the clubs might know what that list is. To outsiders it may seem bullshit, since the team lacks in certain area and its kind of obvious to deduce what targets are. so the readers feel that journalist did not provide any enhanced information. But may be there's no enhanced information to provide in any case.
 
Yes we have a world class coach,we have lots of money, so do city, and right now city are high flying winning the league. Thats the difference. I dont think we can offer sanchez more than city. Surely they can match it. Hope we snag him mind you
I hear what you are saying. However I will disagree with the point you made about the money we can offer Sanchez. It was revealed although I don’t know if it was true, we had Zlatan on 375 a week. Are any City players earning 300k a week? I don’t think so and that’s the sort of wages Sanchez wants.

Having said that City does look like his most likely destination either this month or in the summer.

I’d love him at Utd. He works hard (when his head is right), he won’t need anytime to adjust to us and he could turn out to be a great buy at 30 Million. Pay the money Ed. The impact he COULD have on our squad could be the difference between finishing 2nd or winning the PL.
