Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic



Salvatore Sirigu cancels his contract with @psg_inside to join @ TorinoFC_1906 ➡️ po.st/zoC88U #MerciSalva
 
I wouldn't, not the same kind of players at all and they wouldn't really impact on his minutes.
Ofcourse they aren't similar but i don't think jose will trust him enough for wings, mata mkhi lingard ahead of him already in the pecking order. He will be this year's TFM.
 
Our problem last year was not scoring enough goals. While we may need midfielders we need someone to put the ball in the net
I don't think that additional midfielder would be purchased at the expense of the attacking player.
 
Radja won't be moving. Roma already sold Peredes, Salah, Manolas, albeit for good fees. Totti retired. I doubt they would want to rip out the heart of the team. And if they do - it'll take an astronomical fee.
 
It would surely be overkill, I can't see them both playing in a midfield of 3, maybe as a midfield 2 but that would mean Herrera not playing and Pogba moving into #10 role.

What, with 60+ games in a season plus injuries we need more depth in midfield. The very least I'd buy is two midfielders.
 
The idea does not lack sense. Matic is more of a deep lying playmaker than a DM. That's something most people miss. People try to lock him into a DM role but he is not at his best playing that role. Meanwhile, if Fabinho is not playing right back, his best role is as a DM.

Moreover, compare Madrid's midfield with United's midfield:


Real Madrid's Midfield

Modric

Asensio

Casimero

Isco

James Rodriguez

Kovacic

Kroos


Manchester United's Midfield

Pogba

Carrick

Mata

Herrera

Fellaini

Mikhi

Lingard

Timothy Fosu Mensah



Replace Fellaini and Fosu Mensah or Carrick with Matic and Fabinho and suddenly we are looking better. Replace Lingard and Mata with James Rodriguez / Dembele or Pereira and suddenly we are looking great.

Replace mata with pereira?!
 

Oh god, as if Jose or Woodward have contacted him?! :wenger:

JM: "Hi, is that Rob from the MEN?"

RD: "Yes, is this Jose Mourinho?"

JM: "It sure is. Just calling to say it's going to be a difficult transfer window for us. Just thought you better know so you can Tweet your followers."

RD: "Great, thanks Jose."

What a steaming pile of crap Rob Dawson just wrote.

I could write something like that too, without any sources bar what I read on this forum as "proof". So what about clubs like Arsenal or Chelsea - are they finding in "tough" too?

I remain confident we will wrap up most of our transfers before we leave for tour.
 
11 days until pre-season training begins. 18 days until first friendly. Crack on, Woody. Hope we acquire at least Morata/striker and one midfielder within the next two weeks.
 
The only people having a difficult transfer window are the journos, bunch of cnuts.

It's true. The article is just an attempt for a get out of jail free card for poor journalism in their links.
 
Yeah.

It's right in the sense that United should probably have more than one signing sorted by now. But that piece just got written for the sake of writing some words

First of, It could have been written about any club. Everyone will find it even more difficult in the transfer market bar City, Chelsea and Man Utd.

Typical - let's just stick 'Man Utd' in the headline, that'll generate a lot of traffic - article.
 
When does transfer window actually open?

I think we will get a couple of 'out of the blue' transfers no-one has seriously predicted.
 
Oh and that Shagger bloke off Twitter said that we're after Alba. He also insinuated that there could be a swap between us and Barca including Herrera and Alba.

If he is saying that the same source told him that James is close to United then he is more than likely talking bollocks.
 
Hopefully, it doesn't include Gonalons because he has been bad in the last two years.
Roma are kinda stacked in midfield though. De Rossi, Strootman, Radja, Pellegrini. If the reports about Seri are true, they'd just need a warm blooded body as their 6th man in the rotation

They could give that role to Pellegrini, no?
