Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Octopussy sold too? Quite odd move, not that I rate him or anything but they're already rather low on numbers in the midfield, aren't they?
He's behind the pecking order of Gundogan, Fernandinho and Yaya, so 4th choice. Also talk that Danilo can play there too. Fernando doesn't have enough to his game for a Pep midfield.

Mate Pep is a genius, Bernardo Silva will play defensive midfield with overlapping ball playing sweeper goalkeepers and Fernandinho playing trequartista regista centreback. Fecking revolutionary, this was the plan all along

But you haven't brought anybody in, have you? Toure's a bit old and can be a grumpy feck, Fernandinho is Fernandinho who Pep also seemed to play at a LB(?) quite a lot and there should be questionmarks over Gundogan's fitness levels as per usual. It seems a bit suicidal for me. Not that I mind it.
 
The La Liga meltown if they lose Ronaldo and Neymar in the same window..
So guys, we can build our marketing around Messi and Griezmann?
Nope, Antoine could be gone in Jan
Suarez?
Can't, not with his reputation.
So who?
...
That FIFA cover with Messi and Henderson might not be far from the truth
The best thing coming out of the Neymar move is that its breaking Barca and RM's monopoly of having a ridiculous front 3 that no body could compete against.

I just don't think you need to bring somebody in to replace Fernando. Fernandinho spent lots of time at RB because Zab and Sagna weren't up to it but that's now Walker and Danilo, so he's available back in the middle. I agree Yaya's time will be limited but I think if Kompany was fit Pep would sooner push Stones into DM than Fernando, so I don't think it's a loss to the squad. Whether we should sign someone to provide genuine top class cover for Gundogan is a different question - Ideally yes.
 
In other news, that sale now means Uniteds net spend for the summer is now higher than City's. You big spenders! Hopefully only until we sign a Sanchez. :D
 
Woah! He looked a cut above the rest in Carrick's testimonial. Big move for the ISL

Yeah Robbie Keane "looked a cut above" players like Rooney, Carrick, Evra etc players that are at some of Europes top clubs winning trophies :wenger:
 
What does vanity have to do with the tax issue ? Bizarre to say the least.

It's not the tax issue, he's giving journalists license to print crap about him moving given that he's name dropped England as a place where he never had tax issues, basically either wants headlines or a bigger contract (and having recently just signed one, I'm going with the former).

I'm basically calling Ronaldo vain for putting himself in the news again.

Hasn't Messi just signed a new contract this summer? If so then it's Ronnie's turn again - time to get out the United links again.
 


Cristiano Ronaldo: "I've never had a [tax] problem in England, that's why I'd like to go back"


Amongst all the hysteria about the tax case, can you imagine if PSG also signed Ronaldo?

What a statement that would be.
 
I cannot post tweets but one of the founders of the Catalan SPORT (@joseluiscarazo) is saying that Coutinho is next, he's wanted by Valverde.
 
Well the post has gathered quite a bit of replies, so I'm guessing a few? It's Ronaldo taxes not mine, course he knows it'll be news worthy considering he mentions England too.

Calling Ronaldo vain is is an accurate description of him as a person, so the only bizarre post here is yours.

You guys really like saying bizarre :lol:

It's a bit.... bizarre.

Ohhhhh now I get it, that is fun!
 
Seriously what the hell is going on between City and Monaco? They are still bitter over that CL loss they just gonna raid them for any decent player they have left? Similar to Pool-Soton transfer dealings, hope Monaco publicly protest over City's tapping.
6 players for tactical genius and still not enough, what a feckin clown.

To be fair they sign new contracts way too often, but I'm sure Ronaldo signed his around Christmas time?

@Red-Jeff the choice of vocabulary is the only thing that isn't bizarre about his/my post.

Bizarre. :p
 
The lack of links of Lemar to us is very depressing really. Considering we are crying out for more creativity in general and especially from wide areas he's an absolute no brainer and at €50-60m completely affordable. We cannot keep letting our rivals buy these technically excellent players, we've let it happen enough over the last 6-7 seasons.

sounds like he isn't a mourinho player tbh. There are plenty of good players in the world, not all fit in with our ultra defensive manager... but he's the manager we wanted

He comes inside just like all our other wide men offering nothing new to what we have so whats the point

Hate the idea of not signing a winger because of his lack of defensive ability, we'd have never of signed the likes of Ronaldo if that was the case around the time.
 
I don't know, but Lemar looks like one of those playmaker that starts from wide but tends to move and play centrally, rather than the likes of Perisic, Moura, and even Dembele that tends to stay wide more. I may be wrong, but he looks more suited to those attacking midfielders that play for Arsenal. A Pires instead of a Giggs.

I believe United already have that type of players in Mata, Micky, Lingard even at lesser quality. With the rumour of Perisic, I think Mou looking for a different type that would stay wide and provide both pace and width.
