Why would you ruin my muppet debut like that, Adz? Why? :(

Because you gotta toughen up in this game, I seen new Muppets before Nick, good promising muppets with a lot of heart and a burning desire to sign anyone. But you gotta toughen up in this game or else they'll get you, move wise and be smart because they're after you Nick, they're after all of us - I don't wanna see another Muppet take a jump, or blow their own head off again.

Is there a twitter ITK that breaks a story and not tweet about something thats already in the papers?

Serious question.. I'd like to bookmark one of them

all I find are people twittering about the less loony stories from the daily paper talk section on various sites, like this

Agreed with that, it's a cut-throat industry. One second you take your eyes off it, you're out.

Not really they usually go all in with with something that has been mentioned somewhere before. That intheknow99 guy said De Gea would be presented after the CL final for example as a United signing. Well where is the presentation? Sure they can't be right about everything, things happens but I'm not convinced until someone calls something from out of the air.
 
For what it's worth, feck is all happening concretely.

In typical United fashion, if anything is happening, a couple of ITK's on twitter won't know about it. The media haven't even caught a proper sniff of what's happening.

If anything is actually happening and Gill isn't just sedating the fans with more false promises.
 
I think that De Gea is changing agents which was apparently holding things up. Think he is changing to use Jorge Mendes, who happens to be a popular agent with United.

Yup, as I understand it, De Gea's contract with his current agent expires on June 30 and then the next day (or within the following few days) he'll sign with Mendes and complete his move to United.

So come on GCHQ who are we signing? (Otherthan De Gea)

Well, they're getting nothing from our side, but there's always another side that could be leaking things.
 
There's something quite farcical about De Gea pretending he hasn't agreed a deal with us so that his old agent doesn't get a penny, despite the fact every cnut and their dog knows what he's up to.

Is this a reference to something? I feel like it must be.

The various departed Muppets, the various Muppets who were shot down in their prime by infractions, bannings and wind-up threads. The Torres Signs debacle, the Milan Star dreams of United, UKBobs wind-up thread that didn't even specify who it was we were buying, it turned out to be no-one, obviously.

I've seen a case of muppetism turn into full blown and violent masturbation. There is no cure, even lesbians on youporn cannot cure it.

The muppet has to be given a stat from the player in question, or a quote, even if it's fabricated.

Sneijder has scored 16 goals this year, but he has 25 assists!

Iniesta was recently quoted as saying 'United are a great team' - obviously wants to play for us.

For serious cases, a youtube compilation video of great goals and passes by the player is required.

A large majority of the time, the muppet transformation cannot be stopped, soon the muppet is a dribbling, spunk splattered wreck, unable to talk coherently in real life, the only communication coming via the internet.
 
just seen this on twitter

Apparently - Manchester United envoy in the crowd at Velez Sarsfield game with Penarol in the Libertadores Cup - focus on a deal for Alvarez

from Twitter

no idea on the reliability of the guy on twitter
 
According to a guy Cattermole and Henderson are both close to signing for Liverpool. Cattermole moreso than Henderson. Apparently it was also in the telegraph today.
 
Anyone else think this thread will end up as a testament to the sheer spasticity of using Twitter as a resource to get information on transfers that isn't in the mainstream press?

I know you don't approve of this twitter stuff, but I don't think there's anything wrong in it. Atleast it's all in the one thread, rather than spamming the whole board with this stuff.
 
Just curious did any of the Twitter "insiders" call out the Friedel to Spurs transfer before it was widely reported?

There is that.

It's just that all these twitter rumours remind me of the nonsense you see on the "rumours" section of sky sports website - "I know a bloke who saw Kaka looking in the window of an estate agent in Cheshire" - which always got the scorn they deserved, rather than an entire thread dedicated to them.

Seems to me that any of the sources who actually know what they're talking about are the same people that journalists have been talking to for years. So any remotely credible information will be all over the papers anyway. Why bother re-postng all the rest of the drivel?

I find it pretty hard to believe Sunderland will sell their two first choice central midfield players. Or that Liverpool would want/need them both.

Ah well, it's mostly different from that. Apart from that Sanchez stuff on the first page, most of these tweets have either came in the Press after that or they've been in the Foreign Press. Twitter also enables to get information quickly from the Foreign press very quickly.
 
Ok so here is what I've been told by 2 sources I trust:.............

MUFC have agreed a fee and personal terms for the transfer of Alexis Sanchez. Deal was agreed last week. Manchester City are NOT happy.

Sanchez agents had discussed terms with 4 clubs but were instructed by the player to deal primarily with Utd. Must stress its not signed yet

If Badgerwolf says so that's good enough for me.
