Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Hasn't Messi just signed a new contract this summer? If so then it's Ronnie's turn again - time to get out the United links again.

To be fair they sign new contracts way too often, but I'm sure Ronaldo signed his around Christmas time?

@Red-Jeff the choice of vocabulary is the only thing that isn't bizarre about his/my post.

Bizarre. :p
 
The lack of links of Lemar to us is very depressing really. Considering we are crying out for more creativity in general and especially from wide areas he's an absolute no brainer and at €50-60m completely affordable. We cannot keep letting our rivals buy these technically excellent players, we've let it happen enough over the last 6-7 seasons.

sounds like he isn't a mourinho player tbh. There are plenty of good players in the world, not all fit in with our ultra defensive manager... but he's the manager we wanted

He comes inside just like all our other wide men offering nothing new to what we have so whats the point

Hate the idea of not signing a winger because of his lack of defensive ability, we'd have never of signed the likes of Ronaldo if that was the case around the time.
 
I don't know, but Lemar looks like one of those playmaker that starts from wide but tends to move and play centrally, rather than the likes of Perisic, Moura, and even Dembele that tends to stay wide more. I may be wrong, but he looks more suited to those attacking midfielders that play for Arsenal. A Pires instead of a Giggs.

I believe United already have that type of players in Mata, Micky, Lingard even at lesser quality. With the rumour of Perisic, I think Mou looking for a different type that would stay wide and provide both pace and width.
 
Barcelona strongly linked to signing Dembele from Dortmund with all those Neymar €'s.

I'd post in that thread, but it's locked.

If this lad was available though, we'd be insane not to not try. He looks like the next €200m+ player in a year or two.

What's amazing is that we have professional scouts working for us for a number of years who didn't spot Dembele's world class potential to the point of recommending him to purchase for a very reasonable price. Infact, I recall a large number of people on here state that he looked like an extraordinary talent. We really should be beating Dortmund for guys like this, instead of letting them become so valuable that we're competing (or not) one year down the line for big money.

the point is he's better than what we have? or are we only buying players because they offer something new?

that seems to also be the reasoning people use to justify fellaini's existence on this planet despite whatever it is that he offers being wildly erratic and inconsistent

Hes had a good season in an OK league people seem to forget that, Micki was tearing it up in a much better league and struggled here. I don´t get this over rating players after 1 good season in an average league.

He personally refused every club and chose to sign for Dortmund. There's nothing any club can do in that situation. He made the right choice on hindsight for his development.
 
Losing their best player without a realistic replacement a week before the season starts.
 
All this Mbappe, Dembele and Neymar talk is making me depressed :lol: I hope we pull off a brilliant singing out of arse.

Shame there isn't another player like Giggs out there, fast, skilful and a damn hard worker for the team. He was such an underrated player for us.
 
Not a tweet but apparently Mbappe injured his knee in the last game.

End of transfer talk this summer?
