Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I think he was suggesting that he is "18" - as in lying about his age. Not 200% but that would explain "18", rather than just 18.
yep, the racism was gushing out of the post. doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what he meant.
 
Fecking Griezmann. Atletico are hardly hard done by from their transfer ban.

Still a long window ahead. Who knows where Griezmann will be come September.

I'm personally not that overawed by him anyway, but the football world has U-turns often enough. Stranger things have happened.

At Atletico, because he extended his contract already.
 
I don't think a player can sign for 2 clubs in the same summer, can they ?

Yeah it's happened numerous times before. Also he wouldn't be signing for 2 clubs as he was already there.

However, it's not going to happen as they would be without a striker till January.

Anyone still dreaming of Griezmann joining us this summer is desperate and letting the hope kills him.
 
Sounds like clutching at straws to me. We need to land the players Mourinho actually wants so he can advance his strategy next year.
I know, I mean in addition to his targets. A few good young talents here and there cannot hurt.

Diario Madridista (which I know nothing about) is claiming Mourinho wants Kovacic. What do you think of this?

Diario Madridista suggests United are interested in Mateo Kovacic, only their report is undermined by claiming United have shown interest in James Rodriguez when they haven't.
In order for major European clubs to sell players, the starting point tends to be planting a story falsely linking them with United. Sometimes it’s the club spreading disinformation (Juventus apparently did so last week by falsely stating Fabinho was off to United) and sometimes it’s the agent, but the Kovacic story appearing on a Madrid blog is suspicious.
Kovacic was 17 when Sir Alex Ferguson was refused the £10m required to sign the Croatian from Dinamo Zagreb.

That´s the original article. https://okdiario.com/real-madrid/futbol/2017/06/30/mourinho-tambien-viene-kovacic-279440

It is a very pro Madrid newspaper. As I wrote here a while ago, it is good to discover things about Barcelona but not about Madrid. In any case it does not make much sense to invent something about Kovacic when they do not intend to sell him.
To believe it I´d wait to read about it in Marca or the radio programs
 
Wow! You're upset. Step back a bit mate. It's the first day of the window. People say stuff and have opinions and those that have a platform air them. Breathe...

Not upset at all no, I just wonder why some people listen to what is obvious rubbish
 
He's a fantastic striker.

Much better than Lukaku and they will miss him.

I agree, Conte did such a good job with Chelsea last year organising them and getting the right set up in defence....but the main difference between them and Mourinhos last year was Hazard and Costa waking up again, he wont be easy to replace for the work he does for the team.....certainly wont get that from Lukaku as an example
 


If he leaves Sampdoria, it will be interesting for whichever club that gets him.

For those who haven't seen Muriel play… I mean this guy, he's some player at times. When he's at his best is absolute top, top, top notch. Like, only outdone by Messi and Ronaldo kind of top, ability-wise. I kid you not! However, he switches off too often unfortunately, resulting in terrible performances from time to time. The mentality is not quite there and he's had weight problems in the past, which may or may not also add to said mentality issues.

Even though upside is merely the potential of a player and should not be a criteria for judging overall quality, his is insane… jesus.

Please go back and tell him it's not the first day of the fecking window as it opened on the 9th June we signed a player (Lindelof) 2 weeks ago and other clubs have signed players to.

Unless all of the clubs were breaking the rules and flaunting it under the noses of FIFA and every other governing body...

I swear if I see one more £&@& post that's the window has not opened yet or that it's only the first day today 1st July I'm going to destroy the internet

:) No need to argue with him whether I disagree or not, just stating not upset or bothered just think the rubbish people take note of from the press is dissapointing...I listened to a De Brun podcast last summers window, was obvious within 5mins he was full of it. I am still hoping that they have all got it totally wrong, not that any are bad players but I dont want us to sign Matic or Perisic at all, they may be Mourinho players....but they are not United players in my opinion. So far there is nothing concrete at all, I do get the feeling there is truth in the Morata rumours, I also think there may have been truth in us bidding for Marquinhos with the subsequent contract extension and I think there may have been enquiries into Sanches from Mourinhos comments last year and the recent comments from both the player and today his club. If these are true, seems we were after quality players, cant believe the back ups would be ones we are getting heavily linked with. I am hoping for a couple of surprise signings but more really good young players not average ones that would do a good disciplined job for the team.....when what we need is an injection of quality in certain positions

I wasn't dreaming, and am not particularly in hope either, as I had expressed throughout his thread that I wasn't keen on him. I just meant that it wouldn't massively surprise me if things changed this summer. A part of him obviously wants to leave, he planned to do so this summer. We do not know all the circumstances, but if things changed, there's obviously an actual will to leave in there somewhere.
 


Amazing some of the fees we are seeing happening at other European clubs when you see the fees being quoted to our clubs for the likes of Michael Keane, Dier, Walker, Lukaku, DJik, Perisic, Pickford, Keita etc

Tielmans, Paredes, Sule, Coman, Benatia, Dahoud, Bruma, Banega, Papoudoplos have all transferred for just fractions of the prices
 
Good player who could be great when in form, but nothing spectacular overall.
A couple of years back €20m could've got you a very exciting players/prospects. Today... Not so much.

I agree, good player, amazing free kicks but apart from that not spectacular....same token, which central midfielders would you get in the premiership for that price? In my opinion it is still a good deal considering that.

They're a fraction of the former group of players though

Yes price wise or do you mean ability?

Sule over Keane
Benatia over Djik
Banega over Dier (if he is still anything like the player of Sevilla and Valencia)
Coman over Perisic
Tielmans over Kieta (confess barely seen Keita, still I think Tielmans will be worth treble his fee in a year or two, which would still make him cheaper than Keitas rumoured fee)

I think Bruma, Paredes and Dahoud are a bit overhyped, but they are all talented and have all gone for relatively cheap fees that would have been good deals for a lot of premiership sides

Don't agree with some of those, but there is still value somewhere in the market just not for English clubs .
People should just get acquainted with the fact every top PL club will be forced to pay a premium . Never understood the banal tedium of arguing over transfer fees it just seems... petty?
obviously even with the market as it is some clubs are far better resourced but it's best just to worry about getting the right players in rather than what they cost.
 
Hopefully that´s the reason but I was thinking of keeping the good relationships between the clubs. If he doesn´t come this year, then Kovacic needs to show finally his true potential
Yeah, both him and Theo, obvious PR moves
