Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

[EyeInTheSky]

The papers are always so keen to smear United, that they honestly think a £40m signing from the title winners is some kind of 3rd choice?!?

"United Blasted in Andy Carol snub as the long streak of shite prefers the hammers style of hoof ball"

frustration...for the first time this summer we hear it's been a frustrating summer.

It's not even July yet and some footballers are still playing football. They've started early.

Virtually the exact same article, including the same players, as Law claimed. Either copying each others homework or maybe something in it.

Its not even July plus we already have one signing in the bag. Poor stuff from The Telegraph.

So in effect we pay for Chelsea to get a younger version? Seems a shed lot of money. Do not doubt his ability or our need for that type of player. But if that is the fee we yet again pay well over the odds.

How much is he worth?

Seem to have knocked £5m off the price from somewhere though.

Ending up with Paulinho when you think you're getting Verratti is almost as bad as getting Fellaini when you think you're getting Thiago.

Well, not really. Still hurts.

Thanks

Reads like it was written by a Chav

Reads like most of us on here.

Underwhelmed.

 

[Dobba]

Veratti and Paulinho. Like two peas in a pod.

 

[prtk0811]

Psg should stand firm. Barcelona and real madrid must feel the heat of inflation.

 

[Castia]

Isn't that like going for Messi and having Shane Long as a backup plan?

 

[SalfordRed1960]

Good question, but I believe we are trying to buy someone from Inter in same age bracket, and not willing to up our bid which is less than Euro 30 M.

I'd pay more for a premier league proven player personally. I don't think 35 Million is outrageous relative to other transfer fees.

It's like when they went for Thiago Silva but ended with Jérémy Mathieu on deadline day.

No not all like that Paulinho would thrive in Spain

Let's hope for a similar result.

Not saying he wouldn't, from what I hear he's done OK in Brazil but it's such a massive difference in player. One is a potential best in the world midfielder while the ther flopped big time in Europe and fecked off back to Brazil.

I keep reading GBP 40M, but who knows, the media are the media. Agree with PL experience. Be interesting whether this would take the midfield to the next level?

He plays in China

Better than 'embarrassing '

I prefer it to the years of everything being "embarrassing" at least.

 

[Red Stone]

Like being told the kiosk is out of the Italian chocolate ice cream and settling for a turd in a cone instead.

 

[Liver_bird]

would happily pay 70mill for Keita. suspect were trying to negotiate that down. Hopefully the clowns in charge don't feck this up too.

it definitely is at the moment and lets hope it changes next month

 

[Aki_United]

Why is no PL club buying Manolas? The 40 million and 4 million net salary would be better invested than what is going around for the same price in the PL. He is 25, one of the best players on his position and still young. Don´t understand this...

I am hating this transfer window as compared to the last year. We targeted the perfect profile of players last year and all of them were a success. Now even after getting into Champions league, the sad part is we are not shopping in the top tier, we are shopping in the 2nd tier which is usually where Liverpool and Spurs shop. For us in order to win EPL or go futher in the CPL we need star quality striker or a winger of top class quality. Every other team in top 6 has them. Chelsea have Hazard and Costa, Arsenal have Sachez, Ozil and will probably sign Lacazette, City have soo many i don't even want to name them its depressing, even Liverpool have Salah, Mane and Coutinho.

And from all the players we have been linked to i am mostly excited about Fabinho and even then it seems like we will probably sign Matic. I wish this window will just be over with and we start the season already.

 

[ash_86]

He was really good against us. A good buy for Lyon.

[NinjaFletch]

Seems hilariously low in this market.

Morata as much as I don't rate him is rated highly by many "experts" and also both of my brothers who watched him a lot (they support Juve and Real) said that he would be a great addition. He is definitely a great player.

Also I think we are preparing something big but journos just didn't found out what it is. Remember how quickly and without any reports we concluded deal for Falcao for example or for Bailly last season.

Hopefully Barca go for Coutinho. Liverpool wouldn't recover from that.

 

[Bepi]

Insiders here (Sky Sport) are just saying that Alex Sandro to Chelsea is a done deal for £60m and that the player is going to earn €7m/year instead of €2.6m/year at Juve (he also rebuffed a €5m/year renewal offer).
