You would have thought if they wanted to bring the prices down we would need to leak better names than those two.
Wow Yohan cabaye isn't going to be pleased about that
That's just one way to look at it
Technology isn't exactly bad. We have more access to worldwide news because of which we know even if it is bs. Say if a paper says that we are looking to buy a South American unknown player, now we can know who it is and we can get instant opinions from the fans of that club where this player plays and whether the media reporting it actually knows stuff. I have learnt the reliability levels of papers of countries I have no relation to(chile Turkey and all)
There are obviously side effects like those trolls and itks like indykaila and all who act as if they are golf buddies with Mendes. That's the case with any technology. YouTube for instance has made it easier to access music and movie trailers among other which otherwise we would have seen only in TV. But you also find people who do stupid stuff to go viral.
Overall the good outweigh the bad. Maybe I feel that because I had social media most of my life
. And I don't believe that we would not support any player who plays for United however bad they are. Critiscize maybe but not hate any player I'm sure.wonder the effect of such moves
That's going to render useless. I don't think Madrid would care that we are looking at de vrij. It's like Madrid expecting us to reduce the price of DDG because Madrid are looking at Leno.
Come on guys, I know discussion is allowed but long drawn out posts on "transfers in the modern age of social media"?

@DanishFooty: Copenhagen manager Ståle Solbakken tells B.T that no clubs have inquired for Swedish left-back Ludwig Augustinsson. Only rumours. #lfc

As you have quoted.. I have used the word "Possibly" and "Can".. It was more about social media like twitter making the experience worse as some choose to react after every good or bad rumor and how some for their own 15 seconds of fame, take advantage of that..
I dont have a problem with Transfer Windows.. It is the trolls and lazy journalist I have a problem with..
A little bit, but I would not say super reliable. They do a lot of Gossip and Rumour articles. Clasie is a good player and definitely ready for a step up, but I can't see him come here. He's not a starter for the national squad either. If that is the right choice is an whole different discussion.
Situation is completely different between DDG and Ramos though. If Real think looking at Leno would drive the price of DDG down its frutile as we're no where in desperate situation like Real are where an unhappy player has requested a transfer because they don't want to offer the big money that he wants. With DDG we don't have all that problem as he hasn't kicked up a fuss, either Real pay the money we're asking or we will happily keep him for a year and sell him later as his performance on the pitch are far more worth then accepting low balled offer from Real.
He's ready to step up to Southampton level, Morgan is ready to step up to ours. If we signed him and De Vrij instead of our original targets we would lose all credibility.
Who the heck is this guy?!
125 followers, doesn't use a pic of Fer or Sevilla or anything credible. There's not even a link to an article
I have more followers ffs
Sorry about that. Should have used a different tweet but the rumour is legit. There were plenty on the same and i just picked one. My bad. Here's a more credible source.
How will the Dutch media know who we will be after if Ramos to us does not materialize? Seems like a wild speculation because of the nationality.
Yeah rated very highly. Hope he goes to a club that actually plans to develop him and use him instead of sending him out on a loan every year.

I agree with you.. As you have summarized the benefits of technology and in the overall context, good of technology outweighs the bad..
But social media during the window has made the process tiring to waddle out the nonsense from the real deal and it doesn't take much to float absolute false rumors as sure shot as Paper A from Country X makes up a rumor, Paper B from Country Y carries the rumor with Paper A as source, now Journalist M picks up the rumor from one of the papers and runs to Channel Z claiming "His Sources" have informed how a said player has agreed to join Club T..
Now Paper A and B and C quotes the journo as examples of how now "Multiple sources" are confirming on Club T is "Preparing a bid", " Closing in on a bid" for a said player..
This then gets picked up by lazy journos who now posts this on Twitter and every summer some Twitter No Mark tries to make it big for 5 minutes..
It then trickles down here, where in our desperation for some news, we have this tendency of believing a story if it is bad news and take it as must be true and rejecting a story where it claims good news of about to sign a player.. Some have it vice versa.. And it is constant, every day till the window ends..
I am all for technology.. But it is tiring to keep up with these shenanigans.. Still, here I am at the Caf, checking the twitter transfer thread, in hopes of finding that confirmation tweet from the club about signing that next player..
They would be good signings.....for a mid table clubs
Would be hilarious to see the fallout on here is this happens.
just like how other media knows. "sources close to the story"
We are always linked with some average dutch player or two. People meltdown about it on here before it turns out the papers were just creating a filler article based on nothing but LVG's nationality.
I don't mind De Vrij, I wanted him last year, but going from Ramos, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin to de Vrij and Clasie would be like being in the market for a Mercedes E-Class and ending up with used Renault Laguna.
True. And there's a notion LVG buys or will buy only Dutch players here too, really strong one. Although he bought only 2 and one of them has been a very good buy and the other has big potential.
Journos have officially ran out of all leads. Back to linking us with every Dutch player again
Or a bit like Real looking at another goalkeeper if the DDG transfer doesn't go through.
Bartomeu is being a piece of shit for doing this atm. Interim board shouldn't make any footballing decisions until the elections are over with. Bart referring to them as" continuing the work we agreed on in April" is just blatantly bizarre. Another reason why I just want him out.
Radio Catlunya, a highly reliable source, are saying its highly advance and he may sign this week. I honestly don't know how to think of this deal as he is not on top of our priorities. We already have Rafinha, with Denis Suarez on loan, and this will definitely halt his progress. I highly rate Rafinha and would love for this upcoming season to be his breakthrough one. Turan is a great player on his own, will add an instant effect to the team, but for his reported price it seems too much. Unless there is a pre-agreement with Pedro to leave in winter, for which Arda will be a more understandable transfer. Even then, for that price, he will most likely warm the bench for a while.
Aye. For all the links we've only signed one Dutch player so far and he was the only available defensive midfielder we could have got last Summer. Turned out to be a very good buy too.
Ahem
Forgot about Depay, hasn't played for us yet.
AS say De Gea was convinced Man United would negotiate his transfer, he's not looking forward to returning to training on Monday.
Lol makes him sound like a massive pussy
Abou Diaby, Jack Jebb, Austin Lipman, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Josh Vickers leave Arsenal.
sounds like a big pussy indeed. Not sure he has the bottle to hand in a transfer request. Probably works in our favour.Not returning to training on Monday Wonder if Ramos will do the same
Wonder if Ramos will do the sameAah poor Dave,he doesnt fancy coming to training...
the real source AS article?
Tell the team that wants you so much to cough up the cash then...
If rumours are anything to go by, it's his preferred destination who are dragging out his big move given their derisory offer(s).
So far, they've offered less than we paid and right now even with one year left on his contract, his stock is as high as any goalkeeper in the world.
