It's not necessary to bitch around in public to make his intentions clear to the club. Just imagine David going out during that lvg period and being like "cnuts, I'm out and I'm not training since I want to clear my mind, see ya in Madrid". Whenever a player does something like that he gives the buying club more power to negotiate and his price drops.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yup, decent winger/attacker, had some alright seasons at Schalke now. Like how Niang at Milan have looked like or a light version of how Auba looked in Milan/early days at BVB I'd say. Physical, technical but not that much of end product unfortunately.
The full transcript also says "if what you write is true", ie real forcing him out and having Mbappe in.
That's the unrealistic part of it all. You'd have to assume real actually make a bid again, Monaco accept and then Bale to leave without much fuss, and that to us as well. Quite a few ifs and buts on the way for a transfer window that's in the final month.
It's amazing that all this Coutinho news is coming out and yet RAWK will not allow anyone to discuss it.
If that's not burying your head in the sand, then I don't know what is.
Good point, however I'm not confident our current attacking players can push for the title. We haven't really addressed our main problem (breaking teams down when parking the bus). Lukaku is just Ibra's replacement in my opinion so another creative signing in the form of a winger is a must. But like you said, there is no point chasing panic buys if the right players aren't available.
Really? Didn't know that. Great news for African players if so. Managers unlikely to think twice about signing them, now.
Was always more impressed with him than Sane when watching Schalke in the UCL a few years back. Think Stoke is about his level right now though and will be interesting to see how he gets on there.
ACN was moved to the summer
What a coincidence that he'd only leave for Barca considering they're the only team after him. I'm sure if Madrid were interested instead, they'd be the 'only team' Coutinho would leave Liverpool for too.
Still every 2 years so the risk of injuries is higher. But yeah, the Jan/Feb period will be easier to deal with.
I think so yeah, made a big statement about it a couple of weeks ago didn't they.
That's if they sell. He's got five years left on his contract. They should make him rot. Also a WC next year. If he doesn't play, he surely doesn't go.
Because Real may decide he's surplus to requirements. If that does turn out to be the case, where do you think he'll go?
I don't see that happening. If that does, then Manchester United seems plausible, but again, I'm sure both Real Madrid and Bale want to keep it as it is for now.
There has been a lot of talk about Real signing Mbappe, meaning Bale might have to go. You're probably correct, though.
I don't believe Bale is in any hurry to leave.
thats the only way he leaves - if Real show him the door
hence people are asking why Phi continues to suggest Bale will suddenly decide he wants to press for a move away from a club he said he was extremely happy at?
I have no idea who Phi is.
This should be an automated bot as a friendly reminder to anyone bitching about transfers.
While the world discusses Neymar, Dembele, Bale and whatnot the poor sods get Maxim Choupo-Moting
a typo of the name of the guy who wrote the tweets
He's been a dependable member of the squad for my Gelsenkirchen (aka Schalke) side in Football Manager Mobile '17....
What I meant was, I wasn't paying any attention to those tweets. I have no idea who the guy is.
I was merely responding to Sigma's question.
He basically said this just after Duncan Castles had wrote a article saying we wouldn't be in the running for Bale.
Which means? Sorry lol I'm hanging like a bat and my brain is not working. Is that good or bad?
Which means, Phil Brown was on the money regards our interest in Bale and Castles was off the mark if Mourinho's presser is anything go by.
Yeah that's right. Cheers mate. But people say he's bullshiter, right?
He's not, he just rubs people up the wrong way because he's quite clearly a bit of a dick, and has strong views he's happy to talk about. He gets plenty right, gets some wrong too. Clearly has connections and info, but no one is ever 100% all of the time.
Phil recently said that Andreas Pereira is still unsure about his future at Man Utd in response to Castle's article. Makes me worried.
He gets a raw deal on here but that's how it is unfortunately.
Yeah, I know. That was just tongue-in-cheek comment.
Management keeping Pereira on his toes..
I thought pool were in for him?
This guy doesn't even have a blue tick - he knows nothing.
I never trust fans of clubs who are also 'journalists'. Pilib always seems so emotional.
Nice lad but another one of those twitter attention seekers.
