Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

You're being too harsh on yourself with 'spoilt child'.

It has been a difficult window from the get-go with Griezman and the transfer ban. As a fan, the anticipation had built up with the watch commercial and all that. So getting the last minute u-turn was a rough one. Everything from there was only going to be a struggle.

We don't know the details of behind the scenes negotiations but it does feel like every club has taken lessons from Levy about digging in. Still we got last year's champions excellent midfielder and hot commodity forward beating a rival. It took a while but they panned out.

Just need to keep patient and remember the manager and team cohesiveness is more important than having the perfect personnel on paper. Sir Alex won many a league with a squad like ours now that isn't quite fully /ideally assembled. I think Jose can do something similar. He has already taken a rather fragile squad and made them anything but pushovers.

Agree for the most part. I'd just wonder whether Mou understands the problems United have had in recent years. We haven't had a quality winger in years, and this was evident throughout last season. And we STILL haven't found someone who can cross a football, which is beyond ridiculous for a side that aims to win the Champions League. We need at least another full back, winger and striker, and we have 20 days.
 
We would never sell Valencia.
I know but Aurier joining an agent who only has Valencia as a proper client sounds just as weird.

I'm not sure what's happening but there's a strong aura of BS around everything Inter related in this transfer window.
 
Clubs such as Liverpool and Dortmund are going to lose 100 million when the market simmers next window. Granted, Dembele is worth 100 or more right now. But Courtinho for 100m? Liverpool could buy about 5 players with that who could significant improve on their current team.

They could probably sign those players without selling Coutinho.
 

Several sources inside PSG mention that despite talks Mbappé won't sign this summer for financial reasons.

It doesn't mean that he isn't a target but it will be very complicated.


PSG will ask medias to deny contacts with Mbappé (like with Pepe) in order to negociate better.

Losing 2-1 to Real is a decent result from our perspective. Especially, considering one of Real's goal's was off-side. Also, United were a lot more open than our game against our opponent's in the Europa cup final.

It took SAF (what was it), three years before winning a trophy? Jose Mourinho's is doing well in my opinion.
 
Why is he in Paris :confused:

Holiday?

Surely the press should be all over this, Dembele to PSG!

Dembele in Paris, agrees terms with PSG!

We just made that up!
First Verratti, then Neymar and Dembélé, that would be hilarious!

Imagine the scenes on Las Ramblas with crazy Culés burning PSG shirts. :lol:

Surely he does. I bet he walked into the club with an eye on Martial expecting great things after the previous season. He clearly was left disappointed by the player along with others that really should have been counted on (Shaw). I have believed in Jose since he came out and said we were a sad club. That resonated with me. He has always appreciated United so to get his dream job and make that honest appraisal I felt he knew what needs to be done. And that includes keeping with some of our traditions including promoting youth. If it weren't United, maybe he would have been quicker to bring in older more experienced players than stick with Rashford, Jesse and Martial.

Most def. Winning a new European trophy for the club was a great way to start his United career. For me, the biggest positive in assessing progress was that I tuned into every match hopeful we'd get a result. That's the first time in a while.
 
Rennes is getting 25% of the transfer fee tho.

Rennes were idiots for selling him so cheap in the first place.

But I love the posturing from Dortmund - when we take their players they are so salty, now they get a talented but inconsistent youngster and price him for Ronaldo money.

Doubt 100mil gets you much nowadays, at least in terms of improving or making up for losing Coutinho. It's not like when Rafa was going bargain bin shopping for quantity over quality. Must say, Liverpool did well enough in the beginning of the window, but the current prices being thrown around would result in maybe getting 2 decent players for that 100mil. Everyone wants a piece of the Neymar extravaganza, so prices will be a bit out of whack. It would be better if Barca waited a window or 2 to spend that cash, as they won't be getting much as things stand (unless they activate moderate release clauses).
