We have bid 65 million for Alderweireld and Skriniar of I'm. Not wrong. Now we are looking at Mcguire?, so we are obviously looking at many players.
Javier Ribalta prepared to leave United to join Zenit.
Hilarious because its a tweet so it must be 100% true
Fellas...
Maguire could turn out a good signing but to spend 60m+ on a guy who wouldn't instantly be our best defender doesn't sound smart.
@Ban @TheReligion @Ramshock it's fecking hot the aircon ain't working and I have refreshed this thread until I got blisters on my index finger and still no bloody signings!!!
The guy is very reliable, the first to talk about Neymar last year and Ronaldo recently.
This isn't a good sign is it. If it's true. Maybe he feels he's not being allowed the influence he'd like, which reflects most of our supposed transfer targets.
I'd much rather old Mallethead.
Damn, that can’t be good if it’s true. Thought for sure he’d be groomed into being the Dof eventually at United.
Indeed.
Aguero - 30
Silva - 32
Fernandinho - 33
Kompany - 32
Otamendi - 30
Nolito - 31
Delph - 29 soon
City hasn't done too badly with some 'oldies' in their team.
With the advancements in science and medicine nowadays, 29 is not as old as many of us think in football.
Maybe it’s a load of crap posted onto Twitter that some people just lap up and post on this forum...
Possibly, but you could apply that logic to every single tweet? Should we just not discuss anything? Be a pretty pointless place wouldn't it.
Was just looking through his twitter. I would trust you a source even though this is the first time I have seen you post and don't know you.
Is anyone else reporting about Ribalta?
You gotta have a speculation thread it would be boring otherwise.
Just don't believe everything. Maybe 2% of it.

That went well.
It's not as if Zenit have that much money to chuck around based on his suggestions though.
Although I agree it is harder to do deals in a world cup year there is still little excuse. The board have been aware of this shorter window and world cup all season. Pure speculation of course and circumstances made it more difficut....but our supposed biggest target of Bale wasnt even involved in the world cup. There are also dozens of superb young talents around at the moment who have had no involvement in the world cup that could improve us.
West Ham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Monaco and Juventus off the top of my head have already made great strides in the transfer window.
In a window when we should have shipped out up to 8 players by now, so far we have only offloaded Blind, have a few players still even on the tour playing like Darmian and we have bought a replacement keeper for a youngster we wish to loan....still not out on loan.
There is off course plenty of time left in this window, but what has started off promising with a good central midfielder and a supposedly very promising full back seems to have ground to a halt. Who would have thought by the time the world cup started our only other business with three weeks left would be a 35 year old keeper and possibly a 16/17 year old Rochdale midfielder. It isnt lookign good at the moment
Let's not hide behind that red herring. It is more to do with who the person is. Maybe you know this guy and trust him as a source. I for one have never seen or heard of him in anything related to Football or transfers but maybe you have. Do you think he's reliable because I think he looks like a complete BS artist? Give us a rundown of who he is and his connection to the clubs involved and his past history /accuracy in reporting on these matters?
How do you know it's about money spent on targets?
I was going to something along the same lines. They won't' be paying him more and he will have to move to upheave himself to Russia to work with a very low budget in comparison at least. Makes no sense.
Could just as easily be allowed to leave as he hasn't done feck all in the time he's been here. Some nice examples of confirmation bias here!
Maybe he was an agent who only came to us to mess up our transfer strategy and prevent us from getting Ronaldo who just so happened to end up at Ribalta's old club Juve...
Well not aware of any bid for Alderweireld and what the player has said since the world cup suggest we havent at all. Also no official evidence we ave bid for Skriniar either.....and McGuire rightly or wrongly is purely rumours at the moment
I'm simply discussing a tweet posted in this thread, it's kind of the idea of the thread. Pretty sure I included the words "if true" in the post as well, because like most tweets in here, it's probably bullshit. Why are you so aggressive? Just calm down mate.
illuminati conformed!Maybe he was an agent who only came to us to mess up our transfer strategy and prevent us from getting Ronaldo who just so happened to end up at Ribalta's old club Juve...
Its a forum and I'm discussing a story that was released by several sources at the same time. The link may not be true granted, but the fact that 4/5 different sources are linking us with Maguire points fingers, and if the Club are even thinking about paying £65m for him I would be concered. Wise the feck up yourself.
99.9999% of tweets are unreliable and not worthy of discussion. If your life is so full of time, then carry on...
Your jumping to assumptions. Why do you think what I said was aggressive? Just like tweets you are reading into things that are simply not there. I think you should calm down as I was just asking questions. You may know this guy or have some reasoning I have not thought about.
I was simply discussing the source of the tweet. It works both ways. I could ask why are you so negative?
Very reliable and expert italian journalist with deep connections with Juve, the first to pick up Neymar story last year and Ronaldo recently.
We could do a lot with him.
Vidal at this price would be good business for a couple of seasons. Pogba, Vidal, Fred, Matic, Pereira would be a really good rotation for our midfield.
This news and our interest in Boateng makes me really happy, in contrast with the news of Harry Maguire and stuff.
Vidal, Boateng and go all out for a winger. Would be hell of a window.
Vidal and Boateng would be terrible business.
