Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

This guy has absolutely no desire to play for Man Utd, never has shown any desire to play for Man Utd, yet we're continually linked with him and are often quite open about the fact that we're interested in signing him. Move on. It's like chasing an unreciprocated love at this point.

Agreed.

It's probably because he's Welsh, is left-footed and wears number 11. And he's the best British player who's currently not playing in the Premier League.

That said, just best to let it go.
 
Agreed mate.

I'm sure people would be happier if all journalists were banned. It's all I ever see in here "ban this guy" "why isn't he banned?" Etc etc.

It's called transfer RUMOURS ffs!

The ridiculousness of some the rumours is what makes it all the more fun. People need to chill out.
This. If you read this thread for a while then you soon realise who to put some credence on and who can be ignored. If people choose to believe Pilib or even Miguel Delaney, that's their business.

Why people come on constantly asking for journos or sites to be banned is beyond me. If they were listened to this thread would be completely pointless.

Agreed, 100%.
The transfer thread is supposed to be a bit of fun during the off season.
It's supposed to feed excitement and bring disappointment in equal measure.
I would you ban journalists, when they help fuel the excitement and fun of the thread?

Yep. And believe me, as a fellow welshman, i would love nothing more than to see Gareth Bale, who is obviously world class, marauding down the wings for Man Utd. I would be over the moon with his signing, but, like you said, just let it bloody go.
 
It seems transfer rumours to United have come to a grinding halt :(

I can't see us buying anyone this summer, get the impression the big money is reserved for Griezman for next summer.

We signed Bebe, Martial and Berba at deadline day I'm sure Mourinho wants more.
 
Burnley are officially going down. Final nail in a drab, Lancashire coffin. Never liked 'em, never will, always felt like a filler team and just drab, dreary and 'orrible.

We won't be signing anyone else, IMO. Which sucks, we could definitely do with a winger and possibly a LB. But I'm resigned to Darmian being our first-choice there all season long, sadly.

Tbf Darmian's done quite well since the end of last season and looked good in the pre-season. Looked decent going forward against Sampdoria. Hopefully he'll continue getting forward regularly during the season.
 


Dybala getting the 10 shirt at Juve, going nowhere then. Pogba was the most recent 10 for the club.

Gutted you posted the translation, I was hoping Agent P was doing some work again.

Im sure we were/are in Lancashire :D
 
Supposed to be a big transfer story embargoed until 11.30 tonight, no idea what it is.

It was announced on Talkshite, so I doubt it will amount to much, if anything at all.

Edit: btw, in before Ronaldo to United :D

If it's Coutinho, we'll have to lock the thread.

Dybala angry because he didn't get the number 10 shirt. Last seen being dragged on a plane by @paulpogba.

Agent Alves striking damage talking sh*t into his ear, Agent P coming stronger when we meet in the CL, agent Leo with his realm and his heir from next year. Long season ahead and WC18... €150m to make Marotta happy? :)
 
Really can't get my head around this.

Why would we let a (in Jose's eyes) full back go? We only have Valencia and Damian left now if I'm not mistaken

Pretty convinced we'll be signing a player that can either cover there or start with Valencia as it's clear he can't play every week and in midweek also.
 
What's the point of embargoed stories, in this day and age?

So people bother to buy newspapers to get the first scoop?

Will be interesting to see if it's one of the very rare actual breaking news stories, or whether it's the usual letdown.
Won't hold my breath!

I look at it as an answer to a few simple questions:

Is TFM good enough to have a long term future at United?

- if Yes, move to next Q. If No, sell.

Will TFM help us win the league with meaningful contributions?

- If Yes then keep. If no, then next Q.

Will TFM benefit more from a season loan than bit part role in cup games?

- if Yes then loan. If no, send him back to the reserves until needed.

So really, the pressing thing now is we must get a replacement that would start ahead of Darmian.
 
TFM needs games to develop. He certainly didn't get enough last year.
 
He would get enough minutes to develop with us but we have tribal chieftain in charge.
Who should he start ahead of?

I'm all for giving the kids game time but they need to be good enough, both technically and mentally. I think TFM needs consistent game time so he can be mentally strong enough to play for us. A loan move will be great for him and is forward thinking by Jose, he's obviously in his plans for the future otherwise we'd have sold him on.

He would only if Darmian and maybe Young are sold.

We also have Axel who can play RB.

I think it makes perfect sense to loan him. The only thing that didn't make sense was not doing so last year.
