Was intrigued until I read the part where they say this would be our tenth signing/strengthning :lol::lol::lol:
Great journalism
 
The transfer of a German player from a German club to an English club being reported by a Spanish newspaper. Makes sense.

Could make sense because Barcelona were also after Hummels and maybe they've been informed his agent that he's signing for United.

Don't think he'll sign but there's logic behind Sport reporting it.
 
"Hummels will become the tenth strengthening the Red Devils, who have already secured the services of Ander Herrera (Athletic), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Anderson (Fiorentina), Vermijil (NEC Nijmegen), Henríquez (Zaragoza) Lingard (Brighton), Zada (Cardiff), Powell (Wigan) and Baby (Pacos de Ferreira), although the latter three have entered the list of discards facilitated the former Netherlands coach upon arrival at Old Trafford. Hummels will become a key part of the"

Wonder if those guys are good? Seriously, how many wrong can you get in an article....

I think its more like, Barca fans at Sport trying to force Barca into making a bid for Hummels and signing him.
 
I understand why all of you are laughing here, but i think in spain as the teams are allowed to co-own players and then loan them,that is why sport are reporting we have strengthened with 10 players. They are quoting players coming back from loan and i dont think there is anything wrong, yes they might have some spelling mistakes in names but i would ask how many of you could spell half the lesser names in spanish football.

I dont think we are signing hummels, but hey he was a target of barcelona and @KM LOGIC IS GOOD.
 
Also the "Baby" is just Google translate. Hardly the fault of the journalist writing in Spanish.
 
Us, obviously. ;)

I think you lot buying Southampton is akin to our fears last season that Moyes might be buying Everton. It's one thing buying exciting young talent (Shaw), it's completely another buying a proven midtable player who has already reached their potential (Fellatio, Baines, Lallana, Lambert, Louvren etc). tbf to Lambert, he's in the twilight of his career, but he'll always get you goals, almost guaranteed to do so, and for the fee why not.

I doubt any of your buys are going to get any better.

It shows a lack of research and stinks of laziness, spelling the players name wrong on a forum is one thing, doing it in a newspaper article shows that it’s nothing more than a space filler.

I think it was the Google translation tbf
 


I know Liverpool are in the Champions League this season but why is Isco going to want to go there? Also I doubt City are interested given they, like us are stocked with attacking players.

Brendan is going to be so proud and honoured that a player who played at Real Madrid has decided to join Liverpool. If indeed the deal happens.
 


Very reasonable that, while we are at it we should ask if they'll do a 40m 2 for 1 deal for Hummels & Reus.
 
I just want to guage the reaction here.

How would people feel if this happened?

IN
Vidal
Reus/Di Maria
Hummels
Vermearlan

OUT
Smalling
Nani
Kagawa
Fellaini
Hernandez
Fletcher
Young (no chance)


Then we added Cavani on deadline day as a little sprinkling on top. I dont know but to me I think id be pretty damn excited.

Swap Smalling for Evans and I'd be made up!
 
Who wouldn't be excited with that?
Not sure, Ive seen a lot of people on here a little unhappy with us getting Vermealen, I have no doubt in my mind he would be in addition to Hummels and not instead of, we have lost two world class central defenders, theres no way well just get Vermearlen to replace them both.

I'd be happy with that apart from selling Smalling and replacing him with Vermaelen. It would be stupid to sell Smalling imo. Also, no point getting rid of Fletcher either, I doubt their will be much interest. Would rather keep him around till his contract runs down then assess the situation from there.

Edit: Just notice you didn't get rid of fat man :lol:

Remove Vermearlan from the IN list and Smalling, Kagawa, Hernandez and Fletcher from the OUT list
Add Anderson, Wellbeck, Bebe to the OUT list and I'd be happy
 
I'd call you a muppet. No chance are we selling Smalling and Kagawa. Fletcher is one of the few experienced players we have left, he's needed. I'd be unhappy with that frankly, especially if we signed Reus because it would still not fix our obvious weakness on the right.
Smalling is quickly becoming a scape goat for a lot of people England fans included. I like him alot, I think he is criminally under rated but I could see him being sold. As for our right side, it is sorted in the eyes of the club, Valencia has signed an extension and Zaha is seemingly going nowhere and we have Januzaj who can operate anywhere along a front 3. I think we are strongly in for a left sided midfielder, Reus or Di Maria would fit that mould perfectly.
 
The list includes Vidal, Reus, and Hummels. Triple muppetgasm material, so this is a pointless question.

Why is this in the twitter thread again? Why is it anywhere?
