Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

One more striker off the market then. Only morata and belotti left. Have to say both us and arsenal have done a smart thing by solving our number 9 issue. Chelsea have to act fast or else they are in trouble.

They always have the option if Belotti. You'd imagine that would be a very straightforward deal to do, if a little expensive.
 
I'm hearing from my sources that Perisic is 'probably' getting on the plane.

This means United may have been in touch, or they have not been in touch at all.

Please keep this info on here.

Thanks.

Yes, like I said only 2 left in morata and belotti. I don't think many clubs are willing to match Torino's price for him. It's similar to perisic deal, sounds straight forward but it is not.
 
Following on from the exciting news of our Tractor Partnership.....Perisic boards the flight to China...
but midway through the flight...
somewhere over Tibet the plane is suddenly flanked by 2 F22 Raptors....
What are those red markings on the Tailplane of the fighters?

The pilot of one of the raptors flicks up his mirrored visor to reveal.....

"Maverick" Woodward announces over the radio...."target locked"...."Firing Fox 44"

A flash of light and a briefcase full of cash is fired through the emergency exit of the plane....

Suddenly a grinning Perisic leaps out of the plane!

oh no!

he's falling to his doom....


Pow! a massive parachute unfurls with a Message printed on it....

Ivan Perisic...Brought to You by Qatar Airways... Proud new Airline partner of Manchester United!

"maverick" Woodward waxes his wings in celebration and begins to fly away....

"This is Maverick....target acquired....next waypoint North London...Full burn!"

The complications with Perisic are presumably a result of us haggling. No haggling with Torino - I could see Chelsea paying the full £89m late in the window, once all other options are exhausted.

There is no guarantee Chelsea or any other club would pay £89 million for him. Like I said there are not many other options , if Chelsea wanted to buy him, they would have acted by now. Not saying they won't pay but it is clear every club is hesitant in paying such a huge money for a one season wonder striker.
 
Belotti ridiculous release clause for foreign clubs won't help him being sold outside Italy.
The release clause just puts the maximum value foreign clubs would have to pay at €100m. Torino can potentially ask Milan for €200m for Belotti. My point being, the release clause doesn't mean clubs can't sell under that value and if Torino are asking foreign clubs for €100m, then they're almost definitely asking Milan the same, if not more.
 
If Perisic is seen with anything resembling a parachute among his luggage, I do hope someone makes sure to tweet a picture of it.
 


Says Neymar has agreed to join PSG and it will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Brazilian outlet.
 


Inter team departing for China

Thats that one solved then.

Since there is such a lack of options for the wing position, hopefully we will secure his signature. Unless we have a better alternative lined up, which I sincerely doubt by the looks of things.
 
Sort of seems we're tempting them to bid to be honest.

Mid-July and we're leaking we're confident there'll be no bid?
 
Surely if Peresic wanted this move as much as he the papers are making out he does he would be refusing to get on the plane?

Seems like we're really struggling to get our final 2 transfers over the line now.

Seems some gamesmanship going on here. United leaking some info to beat Marca and RM at their own game of generating hype and false narratives.

Bottom line is that De Gea seems very happy at United, so unless that changes, RM can get fecked.
 
All out for Bale?
Maybe we received some positive news behind the scenes and are working on such a deal but to be honest, Madrid seem to be sceptical of doing any sort of business with us. I also recall an article from a few weeks ago stating Bale has no intention of leaving Madrid. I just hope we bring in 2 more players (Defensive midfielder & traditional winger).
