Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

The money being thrown at Gylfi Sigurdsson really puts the Perisic deal into context :wenger:
 
If the caf was in charge we would have a team of unborn foetuses in every position, apart from LW for Martial to get more game time.
 
Pointless post if you don't elaborate.

"Not paying attention to Potential is the reason we paid £90m for Pogba"??

I mean come on buddy that's wrong on so many levels. Are you saying Fergie never paid any attention to youth? A massive misconception going on here. United offered Pogba a contract he chose to move on (rightly as it proved). But that season we got beat on GD in injury time to a team stronger than us. I'm not sure Pogba would have done as well as Scholes and Fergie has to balance winning titles with promoting youth.

I'm not sure Scholes was ultimately the issue though, Fergie played 2 players out of position in one game at CM ahead of Pogba. I think its fair to say Fergie made a couple of mistakes in tough circumstances.

If you're talking about the Blackburn game with one of the twins in midfield I can agree with you. But I'm not buying that made Pogba's mind up. Scholes was brilliant when he came back and at the time simply better than Paul. I'm not wanting dragged into this debate but saying Fergie never paid attention to potential cost us £90m just doesn't sit right with me.
 
Even Perisic could have injuries which will mean more game time for Martial.
According to last game's formation, no relation whatsoever between both players. I keep saying Rashford is the concurrent for Martial's positions.
 
It's a little disconcerting when people are saying players who are the same age as me are getting too old.

I don't feel all that bad but now I'm worrying that I'm in physically fecked and just haven't noticed yet.

I'm 40. I'm amazed I managed to get to work today, because reading this forum, I should have had a stroke after walking 5 yards.

It's not so bad. Someone on here described 40+ as "elderly" the the other day :lol:



:(
 
I miss the days where transfers were announced without rubbish short films.

£20 million for a player that got relegated with Boro last season? I know Smalling takes a lot of stick on here, but seriously, he's got to be worth double that if that price is accurate...he's 27, an England regular, and has been a Manchester United first teamer for the best part of the last 5 years...

Only 13 minutes behind there Sky Sports....

In order to complete his move to Everton, Cuco Martina left the Curaçao squad after their first match at the Gold Cup. I guess he made the right move as Curaçao were dumped out of the group stage.
