Did you just go into my brain and write out my opinion on this?! Lol. I don't know about PSG but City are definitely a joke.
I don't need to defend him. Daniel Taylor of the Guardian has done that on Twitter.
Philip de Brun, has he ever got anything right? Even a broken clock tells the right time twice, but this guy is a complete loon, on trancendi levels.
Philip de Brun, it's like he thinks he has enough contacts in the game to be the first person to interview our new £75m signing.
Wait a minute...
Wait a minute...
Was first on the Matic deal being imminent afew days back.
I trust Mr. Brown as much as anyone on twitter...which is not an awful lot. The vitriol is confusing.
Got Pogba right. Said in late 2016 that we were after Griezmann and the board thought it was wrapped up. Got Matic right as well. Gets a lot right in fairness to him. Has a tendancy to talk a lot of shite on twitter, but he tends to have a think before hand when he's does his podcast.
For me, Brown is worth posting. He's had enough right in the past to be worthy of a discussion.
No he wasn't. I'd read a few newspaper articles proclaiming it nearly done around an hour before he said anything.
I think the Bale thing could be us showing how we will deal with Madrid from now on if we are interested in a player. The player will have to push for the move, we are not gonna dither about with Perez.
Then why has no one made that move? United definitely could use someone of his stature and abilities.
Which outlets were they If you don't mind me asking?
Perhaps but it will take a lot of selling to balance. Ultimately they have already fallen foul of FFP rules so should be treated with some degree of suspicion in pulling off such a deal.
Come on. United did just this last season with Pogba and Griezmann would have been a similar statement. Word is we were interested but not at the buyout fee level.
No I squarely say Real are 100% to blame and the evidence says the same.
As for Jose he has always said he will NOT keep a player who is not happy at a club.
I don´t think he wanted to leave he´s a Athletico boy at heart i think it was more pressure from his fame seeking gf that was pushing for the move and a lot of Madrid supporters has that suspicion
Not particularly reliable ones as far as I remember. One of them was definitely from the Daily Mail because I recall feeling incredibly dirty for opening a link to their website. I assume they picked the story up from elsewhere as the less reputable journalists often do.
why would United ask Bale to tell Madrid that he wants to leave when Bale's representative said he's perfectly happy to be there
The Daily Mail do have some very good Journos. I normally keep upto date with United news or try to, especially when it's the summer transfer window. I can't remember anyone else bar Phil Brown saying we were very close to getting Matic and it should be done in a few days.
Problem with Neymar is that I can't imagine PSG being able to afford this without exploiting loopholes in the FFP rules, in other words cheating. If they can do this, then FFP is officially a farce, if it wasn't already.
Again, where's the contradiction? According to Pilib, we asked him to tell them he wants out if he wants to join us. His agent says he's happy there. Makes perfect sense. He's said no to us.
Here's the article:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Jose-Mourinho-set-Nemanja-Matic-reunion.html
It rather helpfully confirms it was released at 10:30 pm on the 29th which was 15 minutes before Phil Brown tweeted about it.
eh?
4 days ago his agent said he was happy there saying the rumours of him leaving were 'ridiculous' and 'stupid'
why on Earth then would United, bearing in mind these comments from his paid representative who would profit greatly from any transfer, be telling Bale to ask to leave? was his agent not clear enough?
hence the fact the suggestion of the tweet is most likely nonsense
it's like going up to a girl, asking her out and she responds by saying sorry mate, I have a boyfriend I love and I'm not interested.
you are gonna respond by saying ok tell him it's over are ya?
Would it not have been easier to say all his signings were over 6 foot?
Pogba's height is not accurate. He is around 192-193. Taller than Lukaku and it's very obvious.
He doesnt. Both he and his agent has made that very clear
The part about Matic could be true. There were murmurs that he was looking to leave even last season.
What are you talking about? The tweet could have been referencing something that happened weeks ago. Just because he tweeted it today, doesn't mean it happened today. It's not a hard concept.
Phil said it should be done in afew days. Where as the article from the Daily Mail states he will sign by next week. Wouldn't you say Phil Brown was more accurate?
I'm talking about the tweet
talked about Matic in past tense
talked about Bale in present tense
it's the obvious way to interpret the tweet and what the guy means
There is no doubt in my mind that BP is ITK. I also think he hedges his bets sometimes just like everyone else.
All these comments about him knowing feck all are stupid quite frankly. It's clear as day he has contacts in the game.
It's just the sheer ignorance I have a issue with.
I wouldn't say there's a great deal of difference and as I said, this wasn't the only article that I'd seen before Phil Brown said anything. I can't remember where I'd seen the others but it's entirely possible they had a slightly different take on when the transfer would be completed to Simon Jones - 10:30 pm does generally seem to be the time lots of football articles are published.
I can't recall ever seeing Phil Brown get a scoop on anything, only ever backing up things that are already out there or adding an insignificant extra detail to the story that is usually completely unprovable.
We are telling him to ask to leave. His agent is saying he's happy where he is. Simple.
I will respectfully disagree with you.
Phil throws a lot of shit at the wall, just look at what he spews out on twitter. Less than 1% of it actually sticks.
I bet I can throw every possible scenario and cover my back in tweets.
For a guy that is supposedly a liar, he seems to get backed by quite afew very well respected Journos. Don't you think that's odd? considering he spews alot of crap, as you put it.
