Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I don't get it, Jose was fuming at Matic 2 years ago, and now he wants him here. And Matic wants to come to be in the team managed by the guy who was fuming at him. Maybe I'm to old...
 
making about 350 crosses last year but only 11 assists worries me, it tells me that he has a very bad and inaccurate cross. Specially if you know that Icardi upfront.
I kept bringing that in his thread.
 
I don't know why it's so funny. Perisic is fully worth Martial + 20m. Perisic is a seasoned pro while Martial is still an inexperienced youngster.
We shall wait and see, my opinion is that we will accept the offer.

Am I doing this right?
Please say that you are not serious?
 
The fact that Lukaku has said he knew he was coming to us from May. I think we wanted Morata as well. Ibra going to be fit may have changed things on Morata. Of course how long is Ibra going to try and win the league with us. It might be a pity we gave up on Morata in the long term.
 
Neither of whom are very good going forward. When Shaw is out (which he inevitably will be at points of the season) our left side becomes anaemic

Even Shaw isn't very good going forward. Lb is definitely a problem area in this team.
 
Is it mad to try out with Lukaku and Marcus as CF options with possibly Martial if it's a crisis chipping in and that way wait for Zlatan in the winter?

Saying all that we still need a new midfielder, probably a DM, and a winger, maybe even a LB.

I guess we'll start the season with Darmian at LB and Blind as a backup.
 
Looks like Perisic and Matic will close the book. Not really what people wanted and yeah we don't look a huge amount stronger than last season. The big thing that needs to improve from last season was Jose. The squad was better than the 6th best squad. Same this year. So need to improve there most of all.

But I would agree that it doesn't look like a title winning squad. I guess it takes longer than 1 year to build that from scratch when everyone else has all the monies too.

I think some players need to step up and make us stronger than last year. Martial and Mickhi the most imo.
 
so morata wasn't a smokescreen, was never convinced Lukaku was number 1, no matter how many times i read it

I think it points moreso to the general lack of quality players in the dm position. Easily the weakest position in world football right now imo.

He obviously was. Why pay more for your plan B when you're £5M away from getting plan A?
 
This is absolutely true. We won't get Matic either. I expect some players to improve, but I'd say top four is the best we can hope for.

We have to hope sum of the parts is bigger than the names/individuals. The schedule looks great and if we keep injuries to a minimum, i can see us challenging, but most things must work from the beginning, no shit draws against cannon fodder would help.
 
Very strange Mourinho only wants two more players. As someone previously highlighted, we have lost many players through injury, arguably we are not even in a stronger position compared to last year(In:Lindelof, Perisic, Matic, Lukaku) out(Iba,Rojo,Schweinsteiger,Rooney,Depay,Shaw,Schneiderlin).


We made good signings so far but we need something special still in the final third and a quality defensive midfielder to add to that. Perisic + Matic are solid signings but nothing more, just can't see us winning anything with the current squad plus the two mentioned signings.

Mourinho does like a fullback who doesn't get forward all the time so Darmian for there as cover nicely as does Blind.
