Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

They have been trying to flog James for a few months now.. There have to be clubs interested.. I guess they'll just wait till Madrid set a realistic asking price for a player they want to get rid of.


The Milan clubs seem to have money this summer.. Would expect him to do well in Serie A
 
I wonder who they will link him with
They say United, Chelsea and PSG are intersted but they also add it's unlikely Madrid would strengthen their super up opposition (United) by selling both Morata and Rodriguez.

Translation: United aren't interested. Their name is being used to drum up interest and drive the price up.
 
It's clear no one is interested in James and they got stuck with him. Strange because he's really a good player.
 
I would love to have 4 striker options just like the good old days. This could possibly push martial up a level too. I hope it happens but I reckon Chelsea are going to go all out now.
 
Either someone is trying to put pressure on Chelsea to get it done, or we're doing it to put pressure on Madrid to sell Morata.
If we were putting the pressure on Real then it wouldn't say 100m as that won't drive down the price on Morata. This defiantly has riola' s fat sweaty paws on it.

Surely these reports would have emerged earlier and with a lower price if that was our aim? Feel this is the Raiola / Everton camp trying to get Chelsea to pull out their finger and pay up. Can't see us signing both Morata and Lukaku and get the feeling we're too close to the Morata deal now to walk away (and Morata is also the better and preferred player).
 
Getting 1 over Chelsea sure will feel good, we owe them 1 after Kante and Hazard and the many others.
 
@Snowjoe Hi mate, there seems to be an issue with this thread. I keep on pressing refresh but no matter how many times I do it we haven't signed anyone.

Please take a look.

I'll call Ed and give him a nudge.

sorry mate, still not working, on refresh I am now getting the following error message:

"Unexpected lukaku found on line 100m"

Have a word with @Damien to fix it please
 
Signing both of them could mean the end for either Martial or Rashford. Would hate to see them getting Mourinho'd, but i seriously doubt we'll sign both anyway. I guess we'll bring in Morata soon enough and the Lukaku talk has been made up by his agent to pressure Chelsea into signing him up asap.

It could force Chelsea to pay a lot more than they wanted for Lukaku.
 
Im not convinced how much interest United actually have in Lukaku. Could be that United and Everton are playing a game here?! United need to flush out RM so the Morata deal gets done and Everton need to flush out Chelski so that they stop dithering and cough up the funds for Lukaku.

We have fed the media stories before so it no exactly implausible - in fact it would make a lot of sense!
 
I'm being greedy, I want both Lukaku and Morata.

We need goalscorers and at the moment we don't really have many.
 

But I thought Chelsea do fantastic transfers and we should do ours like them?

Even if they sign him (which I'd still put money on), it just shows that a lot of clubs are finding transfers difficult this summer.
 
Do you honestly think we will get a better price on Morata because lacazette wasn't a stupid amount?

52 mil + 7m in add ons is pretty stupid to be fair.

Admittedly, its the going rate.

I think given this price for a player who has had a couple of good seasons in France and not a regular in the national team will only enhance Madrids belief that the price for Morata should be around the 75-80m mark.
 
No, I'd be fine if we got both, but I'd rather one and James. I just feel Rashford is good enough to be the second striker currently. Both Lukaku and Morata are quality enough for United though
If we signed both (which I don't think we will) it would be 2 up front. So it would be Morata, Lukaku, Rashford and martial. Same as Yorke , Cole, Sherringham and Ole.
 
Will Hughes plus Chabolah are two very good signings for Watford at a great price.
Only if they actually fufill their potential though. Chalobah melted in the playoff final, which my Watford mate still dislikes him for, even after his great season with them.
