I'm in this camp. Press have been woefully wrong on our transfers for years now. I think we'll get a deal or two in and the press know nothing about any of it.

Very puzzling why they'd agree to implement it in a World Cup year. Why wouldn't they delay it until next season? Now it feels like the whole transfer window is crammed into just a couple of weeks. No top players really wanted to deal with transfer stuff before or during the WC so clubs now have to rush.
Just the simple case of 300m sales to afford Pogba, easy stuff. Might as well start printing those Pogba Juve shirts now!
300m in sales, fecking hell
Will take Sandro Pjanic & Costa that sounds fair right?
He speaks about Fekir every single day.
300m in sales, fecking hell
Good luck raising 300m. Pjanic, Higuain and Sandro might get you halfway there, but after that what?
Today's story in Tuttosport front page about some nonsense of Pirelli wanting to sign Messi is glorious. Italian media have gone from "how miserable we are" to "when do we invade Greece?" in a heartbeat.
Barca have Umtiti, Pique and Lenglet.
Mina is not needed and not a fit for Barca. Good player though.
This is what Zlatan was hinting at. PSG insiders briefed him....well hoping
He probably means Fekir won't be considered by CL clubs better than Lyon.
Might be he's taking a little dig at Liverpool over the collapsed deal by implying Lyon are as good if not better.
Crazy how fast a transfer actually happens, all this preparing a bid stuff is utter bollocks
Ah didn't actually read the article, misleading headline
We should have been all over this one.
I call that going full Moyesee lol
True, we need them defensive over the whole season
Not saying they wouldn't get in the team, just that having one of Kroos/Thiago, Pogba, Fred, Matic on the bench, to sit alongside Herrera, McTonimay, Fellaini, Pereira seems bizarre considering we'll have Lingard at RW, Valencia at RB, Young at LB and one/both of Smalling/Jones at centre back.

Good answer.
I can't think of anything else he could've said.
Our squad is nowhere near good enough to challenge for the title.
The board seem happy with a top 4 placing, so funds to build a title winning team probably won't be forthcoming.
Building story saga to get more clicks.
Not that any of them are poor, but if that is the top three from an extensive list, he either picked them randomly, badly, or it wasnt a great list
The answer is obviously no. But Jose would never admit that, so the only reason to ask is to try and shit stir.
When a club are prepared to pay the money, the transfer can be done pretty fast.
It certainly doesnt take 2 months to complete a transfer, as has been the case with some of our transfers.
I mean, look at the sale of Darmian. That's being going on for months.
Forgot about Kimpembe, why an earth would they add Boateng to three considerably better defenders?....unless they are mad enough to let Marquinhos go
I mean that's not entirely true. Some transfers can take place in a short amount of time but the vast majority of them take a decent amount of time. Like any business transaction. We hear a tiny amount of information about transfers, there's a lot of background work that we don't hear about. So yeah if the press say preparing a bid it's probably bollocks, because they know feck all about the inner workings of clubs. But that doesn't mean all transfers can happen in the space of a few hours.
I would take Bentancur to be fair, lots of potential
Just realised he is that Colombian donkey Everton are chasing.
Roma did all the leg work. They had been linked with Malcom for a while and once fee was agreed after a fair bit of negotiating Barca swooped in. Was quick enough from that point because they knew the fee Roma made so could bid higher and get a swift agreement.
Other example of this is Willian to Chelsea. Spurs did all the leg work then Chelsea swooped in last minute once he had his medical at Spurs.
