Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I hope that's the case. Well... Both we and Chelsea are in for a striker, so one goes there, one comes here. Unfortunately both Lukaku and Morata seem to favor the Chelsea move.

nah. morata would have liked a conte reunion. But he isnt upset that didnt happen is what I gather from this situation
 
You might want to watch it again if your takeaway from the clip was he "wants Chelsea over us"
Firstly we are never mentioned, secondly Sid Lowe is telling what Morata has said about Conte. How he gets this sense of security about his abilities, from conversations they had. How he tried to get him into Chelsea but couldn't and that he hopes one day he will play under Conte.

What did you hear to make you think he would prefer us over Chelsea if he had the option? May be it's something I don't get in that video.
 
Are O Jogo sure on Lindelof too? They are the best paper in Portugal from what I have been told by people on here earlier.
 
Have we? I don't believe the rumors. There were also rumors that we tried to hijack PSG's move for Aubameyang.

News of our first bid came from Di Marzio and Sky, I would trust them more than the odd rumour on the tabloids or random twitter ITK who claim who tried to hijack the Auba move.

Morata once called Jose the best manager he has worked for. Jose also gave him his debut at Real Madrid. If we are going to base the move on who Morata prefers as a manager then Jose will be your guy.
 
Waiting for tomorrow's tweet from someone that says there is no agreement.

Ha, given the way things have been panning out, likely it will happen. However, if this news is true, then it will coincide with what his agent said about Morata making his choice over the next few days.

Transfer windows are always crazy - I won't be surprised we start the season with Morata, Fabinho, Lindelof and Perisic, then on Deadline Day, we announce Griezmann to make the everyone go wild!
 
If you don't believe rumours why are you in here?! :lol:

I am in here cause I am a fan and I want to see who we are linked with by reliable sources. Just because I don't believe in all the rumors doesn't mean I shouldn't be here. #RIPLOGIC
 
Need to get this over the line and move on to our other targets. This uncertainty with no first choice striker will hang over us all summer otherwise. At least if we get this done we have give or take as good a squad as last year, and can start building from there.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I am just trying to turn into a journo and decipher what Sid Lowe reported as Morata's words. And by the looks of the latest tweet he's up for the challenge to come and score goals for United. I am not the most excited bloke about this transfer, but I do believe Alvaro will slot pretty well at the spear of the attack and will bring 15-20 goals to the league next window.
 
Matt Law at least isnt one of those clickbait hungry journos in MEN and The Mail
 
Griezmann 'agreed terms' to join us as well. It means nothing. Until we agree an actual fee with Real it's irrelevant.

It's easy click bait with a built in get out for the journo in question.
 
I'm really warming to the idea of Morata. We'll overpay massively, but he seems to have all the tools to be a top striker.
 
Matt Law is a journalist who's pretty close to Chelsea and is spot on with them. Don't know about his United record.

Thats not a bad window imo
 
I refuse to get drawn in. I refuse to get drawn in. For feck sake, these transfer windows are getting harder and harder. Last year I said to myself that I won't get drawn in next season and then the plan goes tits up!

Just let it happen man. Just embrace the muppetry. WE ARE WINNING THE LEAGUE.

Yeah, that's a good window for me. Though I am sure people will ask why these players are not World-class signings.

Just got a feeling we might see one more attacker like James, or even a sudden revival of our Griezmann interest. We are losing a ton of goals in Ibra after all.

Yeah people will rightly question whether or not that team has enough goals in it, but i think we would definitely see an overall improvement in performances with that lineup
 
With James it is perfect without it is a fight for top 4 unless Martial and Rashford magically become goalscoring machines. Hate to be negative but it is just the way i see it currently.
Even though we seem overstocked in the #10, I also think James is class and will benefit the team.
 
I'll be vilified for this, but I think Morata is a better player than Kane. I think Belotti can be too.

He has more to his game, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did BECOME better than Kane. He's also currently better everywhere except league football, that being international and European club football. Kane is currently the superior finisher though, that can't really be disputed.

Kane is the better finisher but that is all as far as I can see. Morata is a better player and brings others into play better. I think he'll do really well if he comes here.
 
Also for people that are worried about Morata not being clinical because he doesn't have great numbers.

Compare the league form with for example Zlatan: Morata scored 15 goals in 1300 minutes, Zlatan scored 17 goals in 2400 minutes
