Alright - But still I think it's weird that we don't quote the direct article about Fred then mentioning Savic - Can any of you find that then? I'd still like to see him actually say it.

The article was written by Duncan Castles, I think. I vaguely remember reading it.
Because not everyone will pick up or read every line of the articles. ManUtd dropping out of SMS is reported by Di Marzio and also in the Guardian, it's in the Fred article.
Manutd looking to sign 6 players was mentioned in the times article.
€100m is too much for a player that hasn't even played at the highest club level yet, Lazio also know this and they know they have to sell him this summer.
If we do sign him it will be €50m-60m with additional add-on's if we win certain trophies.
Lazio will never get €100m for him, especially considering only a couple of English clubs have that cash available.
Because that’s not how Twitter works. That would be such a pain in the ass and I’m glad they don’t do it. I trust whatever they tweet is reliable to the source and that’s good enough for me.
According to the OP rules it's banned, but people don't listen and keep on posting them. They don't even provide the links of their source.
Ah - I see the Fred article mentioning it now. Is Romano a 100% direct source to Di Marzio? It's just that it can be a bit misleading.. I still have never seen a trait of that Times article, but would very much like to see you or anyone find it. I don't actually believe it exists.
This is what the thread-rules say:
- Post anything from aggregator sites (Utdreport etc) who don't link to original source and tend to make stuff up for retweets/follows.
I reckon Real/Barca will pay mega-money to lure him away in 2-3 years time. In fact I'm not sure how Barca have managed to miss out on the perfect Busquets replacement.
If they were bullshitting and making up stuff no one would follow them and they’d be discredited. The fact is these accounts are invaluable because they put all the rumors in one place and it’s up to you to decide what to believe and what not to. I think it’s really weird people have a problem with it.
Thanks! I'm not the only one.. It's just that I want a good site with rumours that at least have some substance in form of a source quoted.. I'd read the Daily Mail if I purely wanted to read made up rumours
Somone posted the image of that article long back and it's behind paywall. You can check writtenoffmufc guy's twitter, he usually posts images from Times.
Also what these accounts do is very good, usually people skim through the article and misses out few things, these guys read everything and post it.
I'm not a fan and wouldn't post them, but they aren't made up.
Kondogbia to Valencia is official now.
Ruben Neves it is.It's pure bullshit to not include the link of the article especially with Twitter's new 280 word limit.
Fred Flintstone going to be our First transfer... not your typical Jose midfielder to be fair.
Just don’t think it’s required personally. These accounts know if they make something up they’ll get exposed and they’re done.
Direct source or a link to the direct source. Always, for me.
I think you're overrating people and how they'd unfollow if something is not true. They follow out of curiosity and gossip. Anyone can get a lot of followers on twitter - Kim Kardashian has 60.1 mil followers, but I still somehow don't believe that her photos are all natural.
KM said it - there's no reason/excuse why a source like United Xtra can't link directly to where their quotes are from.
They are repeaters, if something is said they post about it. That is why I had no problem posting their tweet on Savic. They don't make things up, as they are not the original source, they relay what is said/reported elsewhere.
Thanks for the help and I tried to check writtenoffmufc on twitter - still no sign of it from the last two months I've searched that twitter. I still really want to see the original article, but paywall or not, no one has actually linked/shown a picture of the article. In theory we could claim everything is from [Times] and say "oh.. its behind a paywall, so that's why - but I tell ya, its true"
Pfft practically a pensioner
Not sure why are you moaning about it so much. After Howson reported that we are looking for few players, next day Times reported it. I have seen the image, not sure whether they mentioned 5-6 players, they mentioned few names, Maybe these guys just counted and reported the number
Thanks - Kind of you, but In the talk between me and roonster09 I was referring to the article from the Times saying we would sign 5-6 players
Not moaning mate, just critical and want the direct source and to follow the rules of this thread. Twitter is a known place for bullshitting, so let's not get carried away but go for quality.
Great way from Jose to raise the price up
feel sure Pogba wants out or wants parity with Sanchez they he might put a full shift in
We’ll sign more players than last summer but don’t expect 6 signings. My guess is 4. Back up striker, Fred, left back and Alderweireld(clearly in for him).
If we don't get a RB, I ain't watching us next season!
You may be right on number of players but I’ll be very surprised if a right back isn’t signed.
And a LB... -__-
I think he'll get that when it's time to renew his deal.
Anyone else getting a bit excited by all of this ? If we have a massive summer and got Willian fred alderweireld sandro and a right back that would transform the way we play in my book.
Thats how it works
Still one CM light but most certainly a big improvement.
I feel pretty stretched already saying we would sign 5 starters ! and I was assuming Martial leaves to even get to that..
Wonder when Twitter will give us some signings to be excited about? Seems we’re heading for an aged team by the time Jose will get the boot! DoF is badly needed by the club...
I was referring to this, Luckhurst broke that we were close to completing first yesterday.

What aged squad? The oldest attacker in the team is 29 yr old. The oldest midfielder is also 29-30. Fullbacks are aging and we are looking at younger replacements
I don't understand this moaning about age at all.
