Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Unless the likes of Bale and Sanchez suddenly become realistic options (unlikely) Perisic is definitely the most gettable winger out there, and at the end of the day we can afford £45m. I think he will surprise people.
 
* says Perisic is edging closer.
* open the link : Inter is asking for 55m while United wants to pay 40m only. That's a whole of 15m difference but wow he's edging closer right ?

Click bait in its finest.
I think it was a mistake as pretty much every where else (Guardian, Telegraph, MEN, Mail and Mirror) have said that we bid £40m (so closer to €45m) and are raising our bid to €50m.
 
When did Spurs last win a trophy, I'm sure they won the FA cup about 20 years ago when Gazza was playing for them?
League Cup 2008
League Cup 1999
Fa Cup 1991

So yeah...United have won more in the lst 14 months than Spurs in the last 26 years.
 
Woodword has done a hell of a lot of briefing today. Hopefully we actually makes some progress on Dier and dont end up looking stupid
 
I think Dier could turn out to be a very good signing, lets be honest if we bought carrick now no one would be excited and look at the success he´s had at the club

Yeah the whole embargoed lines thing doesn't really do it any favours.
 
The thing I dislike the most about Dier is his head. He has beautiful hair but his cranium is overly large. That thing is the size of a big watermelon.
 
Dier is definitely a better option than Matic. Dier I could see improving a lot under Jose.

Click bait when all these “news” about Dier and Perišić come out at the same time? For once, the embargo seems real.

I have yet to find the corresponding information in Italian, though, which would indicate it comes from us or closer to us.
 
I admit that I am a fan of Dier, and said a few times last summer that he's the one big money player I want this year.

Perisič is worth nowhere near what Inter are asking. They signed him for €16m only two years ago, and to be demanding that sort of profit, he would have to have gone over there and set SerieA alight and been one of the best players there. They are asking almost double what Juve paid for Dybala.

He isn't good enough to play in a front 3 in my opinion, he's more suited to being a proper winger, which likely won't be enough from a goalscoring perspective in a front 3. You would want at least one wide player in the 3 to be able to get near 20 goals. Martial could, he can't.

He's far from shit by the way, just not good enough.

Agreed.

It's a common theme around here that a player isn't capable of progressing under the tutelage of a new manager at a different club.

Dier would be my choice. And I'd ask those who are so adamant against his signing, why it is Mourinho has made him his prime midfield target? He's better placed than us - that goes without saying.
 
Woody spending his day briefing the press.

I smell smokescreens :smirk:
