Yeah not really sure of the point you are trying to make in your reply to an obvious caf joke? Did you think my post was serious?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
If Ronaldo is available (and I don't think he is) any deal for him should be totally separate from the rest of our activity - the rest of Mou's choices should be bought regardless. I'm sure Woody has a 'break glass in case CR7 wants to come back' fund stashed somewhere separate from the usual war chest.
Putting all of our eggs in the hypothetical Ronaldo basket is the same mistake that Moyes made in his disastrous summer window.

'Talent' is not something clubs look for at the top level from established players; they look for effectiveness. 'Talent' is a word fans use when they can't actually prove that the player is effective. Costa is 26 years old, if he hasnt established any end profuct by now then he probably never will.
A player with not much natural skill that is effective is far more talented than someone that can do magic things with his feet but doesnt contribute to the team.
Being hard working and intelligent are also part of the talents of a player and are usually far more important than skill with the ball.
Perisic at Wolfsburg and Inter has been a good player, and is one of Croatia's standout players. To think that Douglas Costa of all people would be better than him is foolish. I would want someone like Sanchez or Bale above Perisic but if we can't get that caliber of player then Perisic is a solid option.
OFFICIAL: AS Monaco have the announced the signing of midfielder Soualiho Meïté (23) from Lille. He pens a deal until 2022.
They're probably gonna sell him for £90 million next summer.

It's a good article about what happened. Mendes has created a complex of screen companies that already begins to affect him. Firstly with Falcao, also on trial ( http://www.elmundo.es/deportes/football-leaks/2017/06/14/59411543468aeb320a8b458a.html ), as he points him out as the responsible adviser in tax fraud offenses.
Mendes in the same time appointed to Madrid, to pay the fine with a new contract.
Madrid are willing to support to a certain extent but they don´t want to repeat the role of Barcelona with Messi and will not allow public blackmail. (The article says that the renewal of Messi is stopped because he tries to add the total of the fine)
"Futbolistically" I think it would be a mistake to leave now, in the best moment of Madrid in decades. To say that in Spain he´s treated like a criminal is a mistake. If he wants to go, it would be a great business for Madrid. I thought he´d leave in June 2018 but it would be reasonable to sell now for more than what we paid after 8 years.
Madrid don´t retain players against their will.
Although I believe that marketing revenues are overvalued, it would be a bomb transfer. Imagine the amount of sponsors, t-shirts, attraction and excitement that would generate Cristiano. Receiving the balon d´or as a United player. You could get 3 or 4 very good years of football.
In addition to the moral blow, which I think is what the PSG is lacking and why they´d want him, finally get a super elite player to strengthen their project. I think that is worth at least 150 million.
I'll believe it when I hear it from his mouth. A Bola has published at the most correct time. The confederations cup are a good excuse to not clarify the matter for a couple of weeks.
I don't know what you are saying "nah" to or why. I already stressed that I disagree with you, Costa is a much more talented player than Perisic. Regarding giving more, I posted a comparison matrix of their output in their respective leagues last season on a per 90 metrics in which Costa has Perisic beat in key stats.
so what are we even talking about at this point?
off course i'm gonna talk about stuff that i want to see. especially when we have been dreadful for the last 3 months of the seasonAnd? am i supposed to not having a differing opinion because Mourinho wants a player? Like I said, Mourinho is not infallible and plenty players he thought would suit his system haven't
i don't care about any of this, you're the one that brought up perisic being a main target like it was supposed to add some weight to people wanting/not wanting him here. i already said that if our main targets are as underwhelming as him i don't mind us missing out tbh, then i questioned how you got to the conclusion he's our main target, that's all
honestly don't know what you are on about mate, if i don't find a player good enough to take us to the levels i want to see us competing at, i reserve the right to express that i don't want us to get them. hopefully, one of them other clubs will buy perisic, that's all there is to it.
edit - don't want to derail thread further with these walls of text. so to kill this; you guys are not going to manage to argue me down into thinking perisic is a good get. i do not want him. i hope he stays at inter or ends up somewhere else. the same applies for andre gomes and dier.
Come on guys, take it somewhere else. Where are the tweets??
It seems that all the rumours regarding Monaco are true. Lets see if Issa Diop, Ghezzal and Karamoh follow.
He also said that he sees the benefit in transfer funds being invested in the
They have sold just one.
Would much rather see us signing him for 40-50m instead of Morata/Belotti for (nearly) double that, to be honest..
He's proven that he is a great goal scorer for many seasons now. OK, a good percentage of his goals are scored via penalties, however, I can clearly see him thriving in the PL.
That's when context is important, he is talking about buying french players not selling them. He thinks that Monaco and PSG should buy french players and share their wealth, he doesn't think that he should sell french players to other french clubs.
That's what Lyon used to do.
Your wording looked like you were jokingly trying to ridicule his point. Gotta step up your white text game.
they sold Nabil Dirar yesterday
Apologies, that was in my reply box from when we were discussing yesterday, I didn't mean to send that message now.
True indeed, although he wasn't the most integral part of the team. I think they are selling Germaín too, who is rubbish anyway. The impressive group of coveted players have lost just one so far, and I think they will keep more than expected.
The only wide player in our team is Rooney, ever since Anderson left.
All good, I speak Spanish.
Good article, it's peculiar that neither Ronaldo nor Mendes gave any statements regarding alleged transfer request.
I think he wants more money. We had those details about Messi's new contract recently, and being an ego-manial Ronaldo is, he wants to be ahead of Messi in all ways.
But like it says in the article, Madrid won't keep anyone against their will.
There was a lot of praise for how he handled the B team. Can continue the work Bosz started.
Issa would be brilliant
He is a tank. Strong, great in the air but, he might not be good enough on the ball for an attacking side like Monaco.
I didn't follow up on Perisic's season for Inter, but he was a nothing player for both Dortmund and Wolfsburg. When he went over to Inter for 18m it was considered a pretty damn good deal for Wolfsburg. That he now commands fees of around 50m is nothing short of being batshit insane.
Can you quantify that with figures?
How on earth is this guy not banned here? worst Twitter journo out of the lot.
It's a direct quote, who cares about the source.
We can really do with less posts like this.
Wouldn't put it past him to pull his quotes out of his arse.
Thats cheap.
Wouldn't be surprised to see City buy him.
Higuain posted a video message to Alves on Facebook yesterday and quickly deleted it
Oddly enough its right around what they have allegedly bid for Mbappe.
