I'd hate to see Rafael at another PL club.

Really? I don't see why. (As long as you're sensible about what you post from there, that is.) They just compile transfer news just like the Twitter bots on here do, I don't think anyone thinks they're ITK.

You know full well that they are banned. I've tried before to explain to you how this thread works but you don't listen. Try a week away from it, see if that helps.
 


Van der Wiel rumours starting to hot up again. I'd like him purely so we can see more of his girlfriend Rose Bertram at the end of season events. You're welcome.

To be fair to that specific tweet, it was sourced appropriately and linked, therefore, it could be allowed.

Aye, that's the only explanation I have. It was Moyes who gave him the new contract or was it under LvG? (unless Woody did it himself! :lol:). But yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

What, to my mind, makes it stranger is that by all accounts, didn't he have a semi decent season at Sporting (I never watched him enough to comment)? So why loan him out, to "monitor" him....he does well, and yet you decide to sell him for a pittance anyway!?


Aye. 100k a week wages (or even 75k if it wasn't that high) is huge wages for "squad" players. Hence we're struggling to get any sort of money back when we sell someone like Nani, (arguably) in his prime and definitely worth much more than 4-6m in today's market, when the likes of Downing and co are going for much more.

I think politics plays a part and we can only ever guess, but from last season, I see no reason why he wouldn't be a good squad player who could make an impact and offers something more direct than we have a lot of.

Well it's possibly the reason why we found ourselves where we are at this stage. 7th two years ago, a pathetic 4th last year, and our transfer dealings contribute a lot towards our recent failings. To name a single player who we could have had if we hadn't had been so keen on haggling and refusing to pay the money: Eden Hazard.

We're in no position to be haggling, we finished 4th last season and our football was easily one of the worst in the premier league. We lack quality and consistency in far too many positions to be taking the transfer season as lightly as we have. If, and it's a big if, rumours and speculation are to be believed, we could have had ourselves Schneiderlin and, maybe, Darmian, if we paid the requested amounts, £25 and £14 million, respectively. For a club of our stature, that's not a lot of money. Those are two players who would improve us massively, not because they're modern greats but because they would enhance our team play by leaps and bounds.

There are some transfers that I'd be against, Harry Kane being a perfect example. Rumours state that Spurs want £40 million for him, and that would be the definition of throwing away money.

Our past dealings would indicate that haggling for a player has actually been completely ineffective. We've always over paid for our signings. In recent years, we've had Shaw, Mata, Fellaini, RvP, Jones, Nani, Anderson... the list goes on for ages. Get on with the signings and lets take a step towards our aims, no point in screwing around for a couple of million pounds which could potentially see us have another bland season.

Exactly, you're basing everything on rumours and speculation.

According to AS, we have agreed personal terms with Ramos.

This account never gives a link to anything. They take small snippets of information and make out like it's a huge story.

This is the actual quote from an article saying De Gea only goes if Ramos arrives:

''The centre-back has already reached an agreement with the English club in which he will earn €55 million net over five seasons. Far from the €7.5 million per season offer from Madrid''

Refreshing to see a proper tweet, however rare.

Speculation and rumours are the issues. It really depends on the point of this thread, though. If it were made for tweets such as the one of Nani above, then it should only be used to post tweets of confirmed transfers. If not, then it's predictably going to be infested with the rubbish (spouted by journalists) that's witnessed on a daily basis.

All based on speculation. You haven't a clue what we are doing in terms of transfers. We could be waiting on a player to decide on his future.

Yes, speculation is, but posting a normal tweet of a player actually transferring is always a good thing to see.

Of course, I clearly state this in my post. However, this thread has reached 329 pages based on one United transfer and speculation. There'd be nothing (very little) to talk about regarding transfers if we were to discount rumours.

You can't slag the club unless you know for sure we are losing deals because we are haggling over a few million.
