Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic


I don't understand why we didn't trigger this clause the day Lukaku was announced as a United player. It seems like we'll make the mistake of waiting until the deadline to sign arguably the most important position we need to address this summer.

Belotti is tailor made for Conte's team.
 
A couple of years ago Kyle Walker was a joke and literally only useful in FIFA.

We live in a world where Man City are going to have spent over 100 million pounds on a couple fullbacks. Insane, Lukaku and Pogba were bargains.

Just realised how drastically Pep has just bought an entirely new roster for his team :lol:

Belotti's hold up play and touch makes Lukaku look like Ronaldinho. I imagine for the price they are worried he won't settle in the league quickly, he's only had 1 season of top goal scoring also. It's a big risk.

Really? From what I've watched of him he looks a much better footballer than Lukaku. I agree it would be a huge risk, but so is our other supposed primary target Morata.
 
As if we would still buy him for 100m having bought Lukaku. Do these people just throw our name every where just to get more attention?

We only have Lukaku, Rashford as forwards, I actually think we could play 3-5-2 next season.

De Gea
Bailly Smalling Lind
Val Matic Pogba Herrera Perisic
Lukaku Belloti.

Subs:Romero Jones Blind Mkhi Rash Mata Martial. Formidable side.

He's a fantastic finisher and works really hard, but his touch is just as clumsy and really has no playmaking skills. I have no doubt he would score bucket loads for Chelsea with the service you can give him, but he would feel pretty poor compared to Costa IMO.

No midfield options on the bench? Blind doesn't count as he's only played defence for Mourinho.

In that case we wouldn't have backed out publically from Morata's transfer.

People complain about clubs not being quick about getting a player through a release clause (see us with Griez) but going through that means you have to pay the entire fee right there in one lump sum. PL clubs have money but they're not Google, 100m in one go would give accountants heart attacks.

They let 5 or 6 go on free transfers at the end of the season didn't they? Full back was a weak position for them. Good upgrades. Crazy prices. Don't really know what to think. If it all ever really clicks for city they'll have a brilliant team capable of challenging for everything... but then again it's city so...
