Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

We had/have a deal with Griezmann. Either we fecked up (I refuse to believe that), or Griezmann fecked us or its still on.

I am really sorry guys, but we had or have a deal with Griezmann. If it's him that did not honour the deal, he will never play for us imo. United will lose hell of a lot money if the deal falls and it does look like that now.

Also it's okay that you ban the shit out of me. This feels really bad tbh.

It's ok mate, shit happens, just tell me there's no truth in Lukaku. :D
 
From Griezmann and Silva to one touch donkey and valencia mk2

Who's excited for the summer :drool:
 
God I feel so deflated after that Griezmann tweet. Difficult to see how we'll have a stronger team than last year now considering the available alternatives out there.

That'd be beyond stupid.
 
Aubemyang would be a great signing, think he'll be a PSG player though, seems extremely close.
Totally agree we should be in for him. Awesome player. Does look PSG bound sadly but I think he would tear up the PL
 
Who is genuinely available? Let's not kid ourselves into thinking Jose is a manager who elevates attackers. Defenders? Sure, but with attackers he needs established stars to do their thing. Which asks the question of who? What available player can elevate us to the next level. We've lost Ibra, who is better than every striker we're linked with bar Mbappe (which is an extremely weak link, if any), coupled with the fact that there is just a lack of top players in the other attacking positions available. I don't see Lemar etc. moving because Monaco have already sold Silva and might still yet cash in on Mbappe.

Only players above Griezmann are Neymar etc. It's almost guaranteed our fall back option is a far inferior player. I just hope we can find a gem or something.

Fully hypothetical but let's say this. We get Fabinho, Bale and Icardi. I know we aren't linked with Icardi but we should be IMO. He is also an example of a player who is never mentioned but that's not a reason to not try and get him if he fits the profile. Would you be satisfied with this?

Point is that we just entered transfer season. It doesn't look good at first, but there is absolutely no reason not to be very good at the end.
 
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 can and will. However we aren't going to spend £250m every Summer.

We can offer the best salaries and transfer fee's, just not to multiple players every Summer. No self financed teams can.

Don't think we will. We are set to lose Ibra and Rooney so they'll need replacing before we even start to add to the squad.

Just keep doing what you're doing, I find no reason not to believe you (at least not yet) and this doesn't change it one bit.

We'll have a stronger team, guaranteed. We might not make quite the leap we hoped for but we'll still strengthen considerably.
 
Atletico fans probably feel the way we did with faxgate. I remember going to work that day pretty depressed that Dave was leaving and got a text saying it was off jumped out celebrating like a mad man. Probably would have had a wank if I was at home. I hope to live that moment again this summer if Dave tells them to feck off.

As I said, hoping for a gem. I'd be ecstatic with Icardi, would Jose though? Hardly his type of striker. Also I wouldn't be happy with Bale, incredible player but he's a permanent crock. I don't see him coming to a more physical league and getting less injuries. Fabinho would be an immense signing and it's refreshing we are still linked to him, but he's not an attacking outlet.
 
Bale is probably the only one who can save this summer now, come on Gareth you've had enough of sunny Spain haven't you...

We shouldn't have to spend that much every summer, but bad business has forced that situation. Which is why we need to get it right this summer. Not been a good start.

This is where the term "Keep the powder dry" comes in, buying players just for the sake of adding a body is pointless, we need a genuine injection of quality.
 
Bale would be fantastic but no one has said anything and he's happy to sit on Madrids bench.

No disrespect, but only the insane believe posts like yours to the extent of wanting to ban you, keep up the good work btw, it's all good fun.

Why will you lose money?

I remember Mourinho tricking everybody into thinking Diego Milito was one of the best strikers in the world
 
I'd prefer this so much more then Lukaku.

How is Lacazette better than Lukaku? I have really not seen many of his games. But I like the price tag and Atletico Madrid has a knack for recruiting great striking talents. If they want him so badly, he has to be worth exploring.

Watching his highlights though, I really can't see how much better he is than Lukaku. He seems to have better technique and he's quick. Lukaku makes up for inferior technique with power and aerial presence. His pace is also not bad at all.

But why are we not breaking bank for that Mbappe kid? The lad is incredible.
