Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Never in a million years a Mourinho type forward. Unless Mourinho has changed massively.
 
2yr loan deal? Not sure why Real would agree to that, unless there's an obligation to buy.
Guess there weren't really any takers for James. If the loan fee of around 10-15M/season is true then Real getting some money as well as not having to pay his wages would be a bonus for them.
 
I know the MEN said we were never in for him but it surprises me. Maybe we just got put off the asking price but didn't consider a loan deal instead. Good move for both Bayern and James.

They got this right on the button. They had sworn right from the start that we didn't want him.
 
It is interesting though, the number of obvious targets for positions we need seem to be dwindling fast. I have full faith in Jose and Ed to get the players we want though.
 
Why not a No.10 to replace Rooney?
Since we have been on pursuit of a DM for a while, I think 4-3-3 combination would be the one we aim to use the most. So we don't need a pure Nr 10 anymore and in case we use that formation, we have Mata, Miki and Pereira.
 
Thank feck we dodged the James bullet, no place in our squad imo. Bayern did well to get him on loan instead of paying that crazy asking price.
 
Bayern will get him for 2 years paying almost nothing, about 10-15m then won't buy him and he'll return to Madrid.

Absolute bargain. Nice business tbh.
 
If we weren't interested it was more likely they had no competition. It's easy to do business then.

True. I still believe that Bayern works efficiently, like they know exactly what they're doing. I have seen them deny rumors almost immediately too. They just cut to the chase most of the time.

But remember, we haven't signed any of the obvious targets we're linked too.
 
Because we don't need to replace a bench player?
Well that's just not true we need to keep our squad depth.

I admit we dont need to buy one we could replace him with a youth academy player like perreira but we DO need to replace that spot.
