Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Lacazette is a Sanchez kind of striker but less resilient, is Wenger planning to field them together or Alexis is on the move out, finally?
Think Alexis is gonna leave. They could play together just fine though
 


Sadly our first tweet from ages comes from this guy. :lol: Didn't list any sources, though.
 
Rumours we were still after Keane and now this.

Smalling looks a goner, would leaves us with Bailly, Jones, Lindelof and new CB and Rojo. Overkill or Mourinho sees Rojo as a LB longer term?
 
If they lose Sanchez but get Lacazette then they'll probably fight out 5th-6th with us--unless we buy a top attacker above and beyond Morata and Perisic. They already finished above us and those signings will strengthen them more than Morata and Perisic would us. I just hope we get someone like James, Bale, Dembele too or we will seriously struggle to score goals-even as many as this season.

If we end up with Morata and Arsenal get Lacazette then we've got the better centre forward. It's not all about transfers either - the man in your username, Rashford and Mkhitaryan all need to step their output up this coming season.

Everyone needs to stop having a good old panic and give the club the chance to close some deals out. Moan once the window is shut if we haven't done the necessary deals, not when pre-season isn't even underway yet.
 
When I saw Man Utd have contacted Dortmund, I got a bit exited expecting to read Dembele.:(
 
Notorious bullshitter steals from notoriously shit newspaper stealing from notorious bullshitter. Seems legit.

Mourinho said Rojo was a poor left back so I doubt it.

Well I hope he doesn't see him as a LB either.

However then, that's surely overkill at CB? Or nonsense from the media, more likely.

What's this based on?
 
Based on my viewings of the two players.
Fair enough. I know all football fans talk down rival players but it's too early to say who's going to fit into the league and do better.

I honestly try and call it as fairly as possible by imagining how I'd feel if United were signing said player.

I was fuming when you got Sanchez, who has exceeded the hype, and also Ozil, who has been a bit more patchy but probably still pretty good overall.

But the Lacazette purchase has 'inflated market' and 'EL' written all over it. Unless I've missed something, or he's about to have a real upsurge, I don't see him being that big a difference maker for you.
 
Is he any good? I tend to back Mou's judgement with defenders.

The only memory of seeing him play that I have is from the Copa Del Rey final between Real and Barca when Bale burnt him for pace and scored a goal.
 
Tancredi and Pilib de Bullcrap :lol:

Hopefully the real journalists will give us some real news in the next 48 hours. Jose is back at Carrington tomorrow isn't he?
 
If we get Bartra, is this a shift to 3 at the back? No way we can have, Bartra, Lindelof, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Rojo. Two in this summer and two have to go?

We will definitely sell a few players this summer. We won't just buy CBS and not sell Smalling.

Jose works with small squads, not bloated ones.
 
I wouldn't exactly call Zlatan, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, and Bailly average players. But whatever floats your boat...

Are players like Bailly, Lindløf, Pogba and possibly Morata old?

Please let us know what average players has Jose signed so far for United

Huh?.......

I wasn't, I was criticising the strategy of seemingly going after players like Matic and Perisic when there are much better options out there. Our business last summer was excellent, so I'm not sure why it's taken a backwards step even though we have CL this time, this was the summer we needed to push hard and fill our first XI with the quality it needed. I really hope we can do that but with the players mentioned it doesn't look like happening.
