I meant that the club wouldn't pay such a sum for a player purely to fill a hole in our reserve team. A lot more sensible to promote a youngster.

The amount we pay for players is based on our expectations of their progress to first team football. If a player is not expected to eventually challenge for a place in the first team squad, he's not worth big money.
 
not sure if serious but how much was Nick Powell and Henriquez?

They were bought with first team in mind, the other person was suggesting that we spent that money on a player for the u21s.

I doubt Utd would ever "fill a hole in our reserve team" for any fee. Those places are precious and no player would be there without Utd having a genuine hope that they might one day make the first team. Some would be longer odds than others to make it but none would be signed if the coach's thought they never had a chance.
 
United have a history of paying largish fees for youngsters, who dont make it with them in the end. The likes of McGinty, Lee Martin, Greame Tomlison, etc. Its not a new thing. Sometimes you take a chance and it comes off but sometimes it doesnt

Still laughing at that.

I know Crewe are a small club, but they get slightly more than 300 to a game!

He was referring to the comment about him just being for the U21's I think, not that the club him from was too small. We'd signed Rafael and Fabio before they'd even made a first team appearance, so it's not like it's a factor in our transfers anyway.
 
Have the twatter ITKs got bored of late? This thread has been surprisingly dead.
 
Just you wait until the Euro U21's picks up a bit. There'll be ITK's claiming "Club X are announcing the signature of player Y after the tournament" left, right and centre.
 
Rumour on the twatter transfer thingy today is bale has been sold to Madrid for €90 million. Apparently confirmed by a "fifa agent".

Since when to FIFA have agents then?
 
There's no way Madrid are paying €90m for Bale.
 
Reliable Twitter ITK @indykaila is saying MUFC officials are in London regarding Garay.

Looks like our first 2 signings are defenders then.
 
The most depressing thing about the account is the shitload of people fishing for retweets and praising him, he also posts on RAWK
 
:lol:

Have you seen all the journalists and freelance football writers mocking him? He's by far the most unpopular "ITK" on Twitter.

Yep. He's about as reliable as Valencia's left foot.

@indykaila has been calling so many transfers accurately I have lost count. Journalists can't stand him
as he has been breaking news way before any of them. That Custis guy was one of them.

fecking hell :lol:

You can't be serious he's one of the worst of the lot.
 
Can't take the credit mate. We shall see if he is right eh?


To be honest, I got the impression that he searches for other people's tweets, then 'breaks' stories. Fair play to him if I'm mistaken, but that's the impression I have.

Seriously, he's a widely renowned bullshitter. It's like you've been living under a rock or something. There's another account that has highlighted how much bullshit he spouts. Known journalists have a go at him because he's a spastic who pretends to be at meetings involving transfers all around the world. Even if we do sign Garay it means jack shit. Throw enough shit at a wall and some will stick.
