Good point, however I'm not confident our current attacking players can push for the title. We haven't really addressed our main problem (breaking teams down when parking the bus). Lukaku is just Ibra's replacement in my opinion so another creative signing in the form of a winger is a must. But like you said, there is no point chasing panic buys if the right players aren't available.

Really? Didn't know that. Great news for African players if so. Managers unlikely to think twice about signing them, now.
Was always more impressed with him than Sane when watching Schalke in the UCL a few years back. Think Stoke is about his level right now though and will be interesting to see how he gets on there.
ACN was moved to the summer
What a coincidence that he'd only leave for Barca considering they're the only team after him. I'm sure if Madrid were interested instead, they'd be the 'only team' Coutinho would leave Liverpool for too.
Still every 2 years so the risk of injuries is higher. But yeah, the Jan/Feb period will be easier to deal with.
I think so yeah, made a big statement about it a couple of weeks ago didn't they.
That's if they sell. He's got five years left on his contract. They should make him rot. Also a WC next year. If he doesn't play, he surely doesn't go.
Because Real may decide he's surplus to requirements. If that does turn out to be the case, where do you think he'll go?
I don't see that happening. If that does, then Manchester United seems plausible, but again, I'm sure both Real Madrid and Bale want to keep it as it is for now.
There has been a lot of talk about Real signing Mbappe, meaning Bale might have to go. You're probably correct, though.
I don't believe Bale is in any hurry to leave.
thats the only way he leaves - if Real show him the door
hence people are asking why Phi continues to suggest Bale will suddenly decide he wants to press for a move away from a club he said he was extremely happy at?
I have no idea who Phi is.
This should be an automated bot as a friendly reminder to anyone bitching about transfers.
While the world discusses Neymar, Dembele, Bale and whatnot the poor sods get Maxim Choupo-Moting
a typo of the name of the guy who wrote the tweets
He's been a dependable member of the squad for my Gelsenkirchen (aka Schalke) side in Football Manager Mobile '17....
What I meant was, I wasn't paying any attention to those tweets. I have no idea who the guy is.
I was merely responding to Sigma's question.
He basically said this just after Duncan Castles had wrote a article saying we wouldn't be in the running for Bale.
Which means? Sorry lol I'm hanging like a bat and my brain is not working. Is that good or bad?
Which means, Phil Brown was on the money regards our interest in Bale and Castles was off the mark if Mourinho's presser is anything go by.
Yeah that's right. Cheers mate. But people say he's bullshiter, right?
He's not, he just rubs people up the wrong way because he's quite clearly a bit of a dick, and has strong views he's happy to talk about. He gets plenty right, gets some wrong too. Clearly has connections and info, but no one is ever 100% all of the time.
Phil recently said that Andreas Pereira is still unsure about his future at Man Utd in response to Castle's article. Makes me worried.
He gets a raw deal on here but that's how it is unfortunately.
Yeah, I know. That was just tongue-in-cheek comment.
Management keeping Pereira on his toes..
I thought pool were in for him?
This guy doesn't even have a blue tick - he knows nothing.
I never trust fans of clubs who are also 'journalists'. Pilib always seems so emotional.
Nice lad but another one of those twitter attention seekers.
Or he is causing friction in the Madrid camp because it's going to look like Bale is not in Zidans plans and embrace them whether it is the case or not. Zidan could have been legitimately leaving him out but for unrelated reasons
He is a journalist though, isn't he? You can't exactly dispute the clear connections he has to the club.
Pilib is a bullshitter. It has been proved beyond doubt.
He bullshits but he also does get some inside info. In short he's unreliable, just like every single other journo out there.
Pilib De Brun was the first Journalist allowed to interview Lukaku after he signed for United, before it was even officially announced. You don't do that without some big connections.
I don't think he is a permanent fixture who writes articles for a big website or newspaper is he?
I think he does stuff for Sirius (sp ?) whoever they are.
Anyway it's been proven time and time again that Phil Brown has no inside info. It's all guess work and the occasional interview with a Utd player. Full Time Devils also interview Utd players on occasion, doesn't mean they have inside sources.
