Its not the official Utd twitter...
For some fake account it seems run of the mill.
Not at all, the deal nearly fell through this weekend because Werder wanted us to pay most of the salary.
Recent reports now say Werder will pay the majority after all, but maybe also some incentives for Werder to play him often.
Hope Chong does well. Has huge talent, just hasn't been able to show it at 1st team level. Very interested to see how he performs for Bremen. Bundesliga is a very high level for him to demonstrate whether he will sink or swim
True, but shouldn't take long for Jadon to realise that our lot couldn't negotiate their way out of a paper bag.
Thiago plays the holding role now. Has done for the past few seasons. He would replace Matic.
Slow too. Tweet came 8 minutes after the official one; and included a spelling mistake.
Hope he does well and this turns out to be a Henderson style loan rather than a Rossi style loan.
EDIT: Feck you Glenn Roeder.
Why would you think that? Many players have been signed with pre-contract agreement by PL teams. Somehow I can’t think of a more recent example than Ballack to Chelsea.
Smalling staying in Rome.
New owners want to sign Smalling.
Why would he leave Rome for Tyneside?

Can sign pre-contracts with clubs not based in the same country/association 6 months before the contract expires.
Legacy-wise you'd say it looks much better looking back on a career that you went from us to Roma than to Newcastle. Probably much more comfortable daily life as well.
Roma may never really challenge, but at least they usually get 3rd-5th.

When did Ole discount him? He said he’d have kept him but Smalling wanted first team football. Then recently he’d have him back in the squad if didn’t leave.
I wouldn't take much note on what Ole said about his players personally.
Ole has also said that Sanchez will come back and surprise a lot of people too during his loan spell.
I thought the Premier League had a rule it could only be a month.
I’m convinced that’s the case but am probably wrong.
It’s probably this then. I think there is an exception in the Premier League but it must be you can’t sign from the same Association but in other countries you can.
Well Ben, because he’ll be 31 in a couple of months, and has consistently not been good enough for Manchester United when still at the club. He won’t be first choice here, as he’s had extended chances and doesn’t suit our style of play. He wants to be a starter and rightly the club aren’t standing in his way. Furthermore, United need to continue the overhaul of their squad, not least at CB, so funds need to be raised and wages freed up. Bringing back Smalling to play would be regressive, and a prime example of thinking doing the same thing will somehow yield a different result.
Since the turn of the year, Utd have statistically had one of the best defences in the league. To strengthen that further, the club need to bring in players better than what they already have. Not bring back old players who were part of the old problem. He will be rightly moved on, along with fellow dead wood Jones and Rojo.
I hope Ben sees this. Because it’s spot on.
Having said that, the 20m number seems a bit low. It seems that if United were after a similar player, we’d be quoted twice that. We could easily have raised the price by another 5-10m if were selling in the PL.
The thought of moving from Rome to Newcastle.
We should have loaned/sell James, not Chong.
No. Chong definately needs to play week in week out to continue his development not sit on our bench
Agreed. Hopefully he has a similar season to Reiss Nelson, would be a great experience for him regularly playing.
Or pre-spending the Sancho money so that they avoid a fleece
What loan fee did we receive for Chong? Even if a small amount, it still adds up to our transfer budget
Sure. Just don’t think journalists should put words into other people’s mouths.
Aliou Traore confirmed for a few minutes at Caen. No longer on their official site.
Even Real Madrid would struggle to spend big money on incoming transfers.
Lukas Nmecha might go on another loan spell...this time to Kompany's Anderlecht.
Kaan Ayhan has been sold to Sassuolo. Kevin Danso of Southampton's being looked at as a replacement.
James Rodriguez is unhappy at the lack of match time and wants to go somewhere where he can play more football.

Nine and a half? Ffs
Long for the days when we had: striker or centre forward, playmaker, deep lying centre forward. Now we have made up numbers
