Ok, so Real would rather pay the price hike that happened after the great WC Rodriguez had? Real weren't even linked with Kroos regularly until the week before they signed him, either they did business really quiet or they did it really fast. No i'm saying all Woodward had to do was offer a sum they couldn't refuse, meaning that he could've haggled them down and got a better deal on our behalf. McCormack recently moved to another Championship club for £11m, we get £2m for Bebe after a solid season, where's the logic in that? If Bebe has a solid season for Benfica then he'd be valued at at least £10m! Look at the figures banded about for Nani who's a year into a 4 year contract, he's an international footballer and we'll end up with pittance for him, the same goes for Fellaini. Chelsea made profit on De Bruyne and Lukaku whom barely kicked a ball for Chelsea.

We've still got 3 entire weeks.
This thread is going to get messy.

Time for a RedBistro transfer song special to lighten the mood.
What can I do to make you sign here?

What can I say to you make you join us?

There's only so much we can bid,
Then we've just got to let it go,
And who knows who's bid is better, Yeah!
If I don't try and I don't hope.

No more monitoring, No more negotiating,
No more......
No more preparing, no more trying,
Maybe there's nothing more we can pay,
And in a funny way I know,
Because the power is not mine,
I'm just going to let it fly,

I was gonna pen a transfer forum themed tribute to U2's With or Without You
I can't liiiiiive

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say, you pay your money and take your choice
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you lose
*Clearly does not apply to Manchester United Football club*
Their song goes something like,
If you don't know us by now,
You will never, never, never know us, oooooooooooo
No never!

Liking the tunes lads. Its like the "erection section" at the end of teenage disco - "Do ya wanna dance love?"
My slow dance was Daniel Bedingfield and Take That....My location makes a lot more sense now, doesn't it?!
You mean Antonio "one footed, I'm too scared to pass it forward" Valencia?
And
Luis "I couldn't give a shit" Nani?
You can't hide the utter garbage our wingers have been the last couple of years bar Adnan i'm glad he came out and said it.
August 10th, feels like its' been a long summer of this thread. About 3months of hoping for good signings now, with just that mad 2 signings in 2 days high point.
At least the proper action starts next Saturday now!

We're bound to sign a 14 year old goalkeeper.....
EDIT: Just realised we signed one the other day
Jesus ChristWe still have ''wingers'' ?
As regards to your location man - feckin change that son. Put something happier in.
Hope its not accurate more importantly?

Oh it's very accurate....I live a life full of desperation and loneliness. I've very little in my life.
It's the norm now though so, all good
The mere mention of Daniel Bedingfield has made me feel uneasy though

I'm uneasy hearing you describe your life that way man. Been there myself..
(I never take the risk of thinkin folk are winding me up about this)
There's no magic-wand to make life better - its up to you to reach out & get a new lease of life man. Thats a cliché of course - but many clichés are spot on, and you can start by making a list of shit that makes you unhappy in order of importance & difficulty.Then work from the the bottom of the list upwards.
Small steps & accomplishments give you a hard-on for feeling good about yourself man & the more you achieve - the more you feel revitalised for the days ahead.
"Gusto" is what you want man..
Might even have done it during the week. The Sundays interviews are done on the quiet.
They don't include Sunday papers in the press conferences, only the daily papers. The radio have seperate interviews as well.
I would say this is LvG giving Ed a right kick up the backside.
Because Celtic are in the UCL with a chance of making the group stages. Will, without a doubt, be crowned the champions of their league this season and are considered to be a big club. Yet one of their players wants more challenge and thinks it would be better to move to a team whos success this season will be staying in the PS. If one of the best players from a top club left in the PS to go to a mid-table spainish side would you not question the quality of the PS?
Ditto, Young might be good in that wing back position but as a out and out winger Young/Nani/Valencia have been rubbish for some time. I mean, look at the assist/goals scored stats of our wingers and then wingers at other top clubs.
I think i am right in say Adnans output last season was better than anything all three have done combined in just short of 2 seasons! ... And people think LvG was out of order to questions his existing wingers...
What's the PS?
I meant EPL - English premier league
Yeah I've discovered since that these are new quotes! Gotta be suspicious initially though particularly with the papers!
I think he meant "Premiership"?!
Whats the craic with you Pex - did you get a temporary thread ban mate?
From the Vidal thread, aye. Posted something I knew I probably shouldn't have and then deleted it about 2 minutes later and asked anyone who quoted it to delete it but alas it was all in vain.
He's supposed to be an exceptional young player, you can never have too many of those.
Him and Jones would make quite the twosome.
Its the truth though. Young has been the only bright-spark (in terms of wingers) that we've had on this tour - but he's 29 yrs old now.
I have to say - i hated that lad so much for his pathetic performances for us, but he's been absolutely superb during the tour. I didnt think he had it in him to play like that. He took his chance to impress & completely rocked the shit out of it - fair play to him. He's supposed to be a really good lad also - so that's me completely wrong again about him.
He must be super-fit to do what he's done for 2x90min games (i think) - unbelievable work-rate, stamina & creativity.
Valencia & Nani have been completely shown up as average (at best) players. Nani is one of the worst players (in the last 2 years) i've ever seen in football. He doesnt give a shit & we wont get rid of him anytime soon, as he's gonna milk his contract.
I'd cancel his contract if we cant find a buyer. He's got 4 years left on his contract & if he has made no f*cking effort to impress LvG. He's a f*cking disgrace. I hate the cnut for his attitude & i cant think of anyone worse, thats been at the club & gives nothing in return for his wages.
I get so riled up about that disgraceful excuse of a sportsman. Bloods boiling

I had to look at up, so he signed a 5 year contract last summer and didnt even play... Seriously WTF Moyes?!
Well at least we have the bests journalist on the case!
I'm not going to disagree with that, extremely frustrating player.
Sadly i think nothing will happen till that "Vidal deadline day"
I agree there he has been so utterly disappointing, particularly when you consider that everyone was tipping him to be the one to take Ronnies mantle after he went to Real! We need to get rid.Its the truth though. Young has been the only bright-spark (in terms of wingers) that we've had on this tour - but he's 29 yrs old now.

As for Ash he's been outstanding pre-season and I never thought I would say that either but LVG really has revitalised him!
Its just a temp ban though eh?
The quoting of a post always gets a poster shafted. Its all about creatin noise. Some have a personal beef & draw attention to it, then many jump on the bandwagon for cool-association purposes & up their profile's - sad "lick-arses".
Did anyone call for you to get banned in the thread?
If they did - that deserves them to be temp banned in my opinion. Thats treason against fellow poster, who may have said something stupid & all his / her previous great posts are forgotten about. Its not up to them to make judgements like that & put pressure on the Mods etc. to go down that route. Its unfair on them!
Permanent ban, I'd been trolling the thread all along apparently.
I'll say it straight out, if we don't get one of Vidal or Di Maria I'll not consider this a good transfer window after all those rumours that got my hopes up.
That's your own fault then.
