Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Is twitter broken today or something? Where are all the updates? I know 90% of them are bogus, but it makes me so sad when I refresh the page and there are no new notifications... 
So they expected the extra £1m to be enough?
But they have Klopp and CL football, top players would be queuing up to join them I was assured by many Liverpool fans
This is equally hilarious as depressing.
This is actually a case where the player wants to join them.
Matic, Costa and Zouma to miss the tour for completing transfers to other clubs
Time to leave this deal alone, let them keep a player who no longer wants to play for them instead, cnuts.
As far as I know he hasn't said anything publicly.
Dynamic, carries the ball very well, very good passing range, creative. Yes we should look at him. Could actually see him working in a 3 with Herrera & Pogba, as he's got so much energy. I can see why Klopp fancies him.
I've also heard that this will be their year.
But United don't want to flog him according to Di Marzio, and in that circumstance if Martial is encouraging Inter then I would be quite disappointed in Martial (again according to Di Marzio). That's what I said, and I don't see what's wrong with it.
Yes, Di Marzio may have good sources but it makes no sense for Martial to think of leaving United at this stage. I would rather believe he is staying.
Time to ditch Perisic and go for Felipe Anderson. He is even more hardworking so Mourinho should love him.
He also had terrible decision making, but so has Perisic.

Unless we have 2 surprise transfers coming then I doubt we'll get 1 more, let alone 2, when every shitty club is trying to rinse us.
Doesn't sound too promising. I honestly can't see how securing the 4 targets (which José now believes won't happen) will turn us into title contenders and be competitive in the CL.
The same thing he said in the presser before LA game. I still believe the "at least 3rd signing" is the DMF.
I have no doubt he will get all four. Ed will deliver, keep the faith.
9 million.
Think we should give up now. Just like you should as well. Seems that Europe doesn't want our money
4 players are enough.
Signing 5 or 6 players will lead us spending the first 2 months trying to integrate them in the starting line up with absence of linking and consistency it will take us some months before we start getting any results. We tried to sign 6 players under LVG and it was a mess at the first part of the season.
Better than building a whole new team it's better to try to have your group growing links between them and getting used to each other with the key signings focusing on the priorities. Much better than getting a load of players then spending first half of the season figuring how to play them all in the starting line up.
3 players from last summer + 4 players this summer, about 7 players entering the lineup gradually, that's the way to build a team.
I think it's obvious that that the 2 other targets are a left winger/wing back and a defensive midfielder, but how do we know which one is likely to sign?
I think so too. But it's not easy when every player in the world costs a lot more than normal.
If I had to choose, I'd prefer the 3rd and final, if it came down to it, was a good DM rather than Perisic. I don't think Perisic is better than Martial, and I also believe Perisic coming in would marginalise Martial. So effectively - if I had to choose between, say, Dier and Martial or Dier and Perisic - I'd choose the former.
Hands off.
I think we will get 4 targets and I don't think it will be Matic or Perisic. I think the two new signings will be a big shock!
We have lost Zlatan, so our replacement in Lukaku we can only hope he is like for like in terms of goals. We have gained nothing there. We have Lindelof and hopefully he'll be great, but we all know our problems last season wasn't in defence. We have lost Rooney, some might say good riddance because he was turd, but he did score a few goals and was an extra player to reply upon on when others were injured towards the latter stages of the season. 4 players after what I just said is no way enough to challenge.
Meh, just letting clubs know that we aren't completely desperate and are prepared to walk away from potential deals when quoted absurd fees.
I believe we'll get the four.
I believe we'll get the four.
Verratti & Bale
such a motley crew, Lallanas face had me in stitches. At least they are representative of their fan base.

Totally agree, if we lose Martial just to get Perisic makes no sense, We do need another wide/creative forward in my opinion, an extra one, not a replacement.
If we only get one more (Matic or Perisic) you'd have to say it's been a very poor transfer window. It should improve us, but not considerably. I don't see how that would take us from 6th to 1st and I certainly don't see how it makes us in any way competitive in the CL. Hopefully we have a surprise or two up our sleeves.
Lukaku will get more goals than Zlatan and I'm sure of that. He's not as good in linking up the play ( not bad but not as Zlatan ) but at the same time he can be more clinical in front of the goal and if he just scored 8 more goals than Zlatan in the the frustrating draws we were getting all the season we'll be in good condition.
You need to consider that we can't change all our attackers, or change our whole attack system because all the new players will have to take time to accustomise to each other. On the contrary, the players we have are the ones who need to up their performance. They have a whole year playing together and they should be starting to know how their teammates moving and developing a bond on the field. Instead of changing the whole attack, it's better for these players to get more used to each other and up their numbers, and Mikhi, Rashford, Martial and Pogba are more than capable of getting good numbers if they concentrate enough.
Finally Lindelof is more than a necessary, first: are you happy with the injury crisis we get each season in the defense ? And second, Lindelof ability to play sell with the ball and building attack from the back is going to assist us in our attacking system overall rather than our defenders who tend to just get rid of the ball once it's in their legs.
It's about the whole system, not just this player instead of this one.
