Good idea. That will wipe the smile off his face.
Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

It is pretty disappointing I will grant you that. Especially since it seemed so nailed on for so long. I think it will be very difficult to find an equivalent difference-maker at this stage.
Definitely not. He said before that he gave Ed different choices and replacements for each signings and he doesn't expect all his plan A players to come.
What has Jose's relationships got to do with anything. You're worried at 1st of June?
As a tweet above said, he might just be sticking by the team because they are in an awkward situation. If Atletic have asked for the whole amount, there was likely no way we would do it. Jose surely would realise that.
That isn't going to happen.
By heavy investment I mean Summer after Summer of spending the entirety of our positive cash flow on transfers whilst bringing in half a new team.
You'll notice that the era of heavy investment and heavy squad turnover has coincided with awful results. Likewise that's been the situation with City - comparatively mediocre results after years of heavy investment.
We're likely to be at a point where we focus on maybe 3 first team players who'll make a difference during the Summer (possibly four this season due to Ibra).
If this season that's Griezmann, Fabinho and a Bailly type defender then we'll be in a much better position again; especially with Mourinho having a season under his belt.
You guys need to lighten up. It's not the end of the world that Griez ain't coming. Mourinho is brilliant in the transfer market and he will have scouted and reviewed more players then Griez that will improve us. This will be a long summer, but I have no doubt in my mind that we will be a lot stronger come next season.
So light up and don't be so got damn negative in here.

You've had a tough couple of transfer windows. I still remember the Renato one.
Hey Woody, do it for @Adisa
Milan has agreed personal terms with Morata, Belotti is still an alternative.

At this point of time I am just curious where we are going with all the cash in our hands. We are loaded, we will definitely improve and have a manager who knows what kind of players he wants for his system. Transfer window just started.
There is no current available player on the same level as Griezmann. We have the worst attack of the top 6, yet we fecked up the transfer of the one genuine available world class player who wanted to join us.
We really should have went in hard for B.Silva and Aubemyang. This is just stupid from us, I'm sure we knew all along their ban wouldn't get uplifted.
It's not the end of the world. Griezmann wouldn't even fit our side.
The pessimist in me says that's the public image he wants us to see with the reality being very different
Just thinking about this.
Is it that we lack such players or our players capable of doing this just happened to have a bad season?
Just wondering.
Prior to the finished season, the numbers of Mikhi, Martial, Mata and even Rashford, were not bad at all. If they had stepped up their games and improved, most of our conversations here would be different. Unfortunately, in goal scoring terms, they all declined plus, we had serious goal shortages from the midfield.
I am not sure 'someone' would fix our goal scoring problems. We need to find ways of stepping up the games of our current attackers/ midfielders while also bringing in new players who can attack and score.
We should hijack Milan's deal for Morata. Don't think Belotti/Lacazette would be better choices for our attack.
I'm not pushing panic yet, I'm almost relieved in a way that Griezmann has buried this on June 1st - we missed out bigtime but we've at least got loads of time to re-evaluate. I have faith - ish. I just hope our signings don't pan out as my worst case scenario.
Heavy squad turnover has been an issue, yes. But that was partly required due to the dross Ferguson and LVG has accumulated. I agree Mourinho has bought well. And I just hope we're able to compete with City in terms of spending. I think it's important we avoid resting while others move forward. And we have two strikers on huge wages that are now well past their prime. Hopefully with Wayne, and sadly Zlatan moving on (in addition to getting rid of the wages of Bastian, Depay and Morgan) United can afford to go after some truly world class talent. We should really have the capacity to offer players like Neymar the wages they want with the money we have.
We are trying to. Well Di Marzio said we are interested in Mbappe and Morata so I'm assuming we are.
Keane, Dier, Perisic and Lukaku/Lacazette?
Why has the AG thread been locked?
The poster I replied to said Jose may fall with Ed because his wanted transfers didn't completed, so I told him that Jose already said he had multiple names in his list and he didn't expect to get all his first choices, so nothing will happen between both.
Honestly I don't think we fecked this transfer. Till yesterday everything seems to be going fine, then the ban came and everything turned to a new strange direction. It seems from the tweet that it was the player decision to stay with them. Can't find anything to blame Ed for tbh.
Hopefully, but seeing that he's already agreed to join Milan, it might be too late.
He doesn't want to come here, he wants to go to Milan because his wife is settled there.
Because the transfer is off. He will stay, no point having it open
Didn't Di Marzio say Morata was like one of our priorities or something? Is he choosing Milan over us!?
What's going on?! Last time I checked AquireMe said it was done....
Mahrez can't be a bad shout as an alternative to Griezmann
Anybody who can put the ball in the net would be better than our current options. Rashford is still learning and is behind Mbappe to be honest. Martial is just flaky. We need to sign a lot of goals from a forward and either a No 10, or a wide man. Some of the players we do have are also going to need to pull their finger out.
Or we moved too late for him.
feck his wife. You seen the way we treat Edurne?
He's a very versatile attacking player who can play on the wings, as a #10/SS or as a striker. How does he not fit?
I wished dandruff on him, but that might have been another thread.
'Blessing in disguise' is this years 'dead in the water'.
We need a #7, a #10, and if Zlatan leaves, a #9. Don't worry Muppets, I'm sure Woody is preparing a few bids as we speak.
He's exactly what we need, a guy who just scores, but people will say what they have to to deal with this.
