Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

But everyone was reporting Matic was close. It's not as if that was a scoop. For someone who supposedly is ITK for United dealings he's rarely ever out in front reporting anything, always part of the pack when it comes to reporting. Matic signing sometime this week was widely reported by pretty much everyone by the time he posted the Tweet you're referring to.

He seems one of a number of second tier journalists who rarely break news but just chime in once others already have, claiming to have the inside story. Often using that old trick of adding snippets of largely unimportant, yet impossible to disprove, detail that really add nothing to the story but to convey a sense that he knows what he's talking about.

Real journalist: 'Breaking: Madonna will go to Ikea sometime early this week'

Later on..


Hanger-on ITK: 'Breaking: Expect Madonna at Ikea at some point in next 48 hours, she really wanted to go to Argos but has been persuaded"

....Madonna goes to Ikea: "OMG THE HANGER-ON ITK KNOWS HIS BEANS!!"

I've nothing against the guy but this is pretty much what he does.

Spot on. And you've actually been quite generous there.

Aye, essentially this.
 
Kop fans are sweating now as Coutinho is being courted by Barca. Too funny.
 


Looks like this is it, full steam ahead and no going back.

Amazing how the window started with Barca fans saying how Veratti should be allowed to leave by PSG and ended up being them losing their star to PSG.

They probably tried with Messi and then went to Neymar. The president already warned clubs by going after their best players that they will buy their best ones if they try. Think it played a role and Neymar was weak anyway, so they went for it

I don't think Barca will try tapping up any of PSG's players again for a while after this :lol:
 
So what's the point of a release clause if you can just turn it down anyway?
 
Barcelona are a joke, loving this.

I would not trade Martial for Perisic, no way in hell.

If Coutinho goes to Barca, Liverpool will be screwed - no time to find an adequate replacement of his calibre. Great news for us, of course.
 
Let's be honest, UEFA won't care they're biased towards PSG and French teams in general lol
 
How is Coutinho going to replace Neymar? First of all he's not on his level, but second of all he doesn't even play in a front 3.
 
Respect to PSG.

Barca going after Veratti made this all possible.

It also sends out a clear message to other clubs to stay clear of their best players and that they mean business.
 
:lol: I'm loving their salty tears, they put such a high release clause expecting nobody to trigger it, well tough titties Farca.
