Bizarre stuff from Chelsea regarding Courtois. Was it right before the World Cup or right after that it looked like the deal was sown up for Madrid? Why did they wait so long to sell, did they think they were going to convince him to stay.
Going into the WC I remember him saying that he could yet stay and see out his contract. After the WC he came out with his big mouth in the media (which he always does) and arrogantly said the terms we offered him were not enough on the back of his WC performances.
 
I remember an interview with Fabregas where he was being asked about the various attributes of his Chelsea team mates and he said Zouma had some of the best skills in the squad (and he was being serious).

Zouma is not a donkey. He's a tremendous centre back.

To be fair, anyone with an ability to run fast and jump high might seem like a phenomenal talent to Fabregas. The man is a footballing genius in a body of an office worker.

As for Zouma, he's a great athlete, but I was never impressed by the technical side of his game.
 
.....Zouma is worse than Smalling on the ball? as if Mike is doing anything close to this :lol:
Something of what Fabregas was talking about. It's not Ronaldinho, but it's far from donkey or even poor technically.

 
Chelsea can ask for Martial all they like, but there's no chance we're letting him go this late into the window unless we've got something up our sleeve in the RW department.

I can't remember ever being impressed with his passing but I also can't remember him being clumsy or lacking skill.

He's a big lump so does not look particularly graceful.
 
We need a DOF so bad it's gotten past a joke, there's no direction or planning at this club.
It's been plainly obvious for years that we need one, no strategy or planning, and absolutely no one at the club in an executive role who understand how the game works, dealing with agents, scouting systems, players who would fit in a team etc. All our senior people know is how to get bizarre sponsorship deals.
 
Can't shift Rojo or Darmian.

So we can't buy or sell players. Must be some shitastrophe behind the scenes at United.
Fecking hell people you know we can still sell past this Thur right? I'd still like to think we re a humane club and not just look at money but also sell them to clubs the players want to go to. It's not live stock.
 
The fact we can sell players after the deadline is a blessing and takes the pressure off somewhat. We only sell if we have signed a replacement. For all we know the deals might just be pending and waiting on the situation at 5pm tomorrow.
 
It's been so long since I've seen Martial get a run of games upfront (and that's the only position I'm interested in us getting someone in) that I'm not convinced.

Martial is 100 times more clinical than Morata will ever be. In an attacking system like Sarri's he would likely thrive.
 
Loan with option to buy then Rose is not that bad a deal. Tempting for us to be in for him
 
That's what happens when you buy plenty of bad players. They are very hard to move on when on big wages. Blind rojo darmian felliani not good enough. Herrera and mata questionable. Can't wait for this window to close. It's been a shocker. Ed hasn't got the job done and jose is a miserable git,slating ed and every second player. Hopefully in 2/3years United will be in better position with different manager,DOF and hopefully the likes of pogba martial and Rashford are still here,matured and performing to the max
 
What a fall from grace for Danny Rose. Arguably the best LB in the league before that injury.
 
What are you basing this on? Jorginho has never been in England and Kovacic has done nothing to prove his hype of 3 years back.

Pogba-Matic-Fred is miles better. Even Liverpool's midfield is better imo.

I said it was incredibly strong and too defensive, I wasn’t the one who said it was the best.

The feck is this? He's a bad player.

Guedes is pretty good, certainly not bad! And certainly not a 60M-player
