Thought it was time we had a thread for confirmed signings again.
United have made their first signing, a 20 year old Uruguayan right back called Guillermo Varela from Atletico Penarol. Never heard of him lol.
A bit weird signing another right back when we have Rafael, Jones, Smalling and Valencia there in that position. We need a left back more than a right back. We've only got 3 of those in Evra, Butner and Fabio and Evra is past his best now. Weird.
-
Valencia is a rb now??!!
-
When he needs to be, yes. He does pretty well there too.
-
Valencia's a right back in the same way that Welbeck's a striker.

That was quality Bealec.

Good move by Moyes, Phil Neville and Ryan Giggs have now joined the United coaching staff. 8)

You know you're having a quiet summer when you post about that in a "confirmed signings" thread.
Oh well, we've signed 7 players already...Jores Okore snubbed Chelsea in favour of Villa, good to see he knows his history on who the bigger clubs are ;D
-
Well we've made one signing so far, Varela, who's supposed to be a hot prospect. Plus Zaha, but technically we signed him during the last transfer window. Going to be interesting to see what happens with the Roonster, we were favourites to sign Lewandowski so we could be adding another confirmed signing during the next few weeks.
-
Sanogo signed, could be the next Anelka, could also be the next Aliadiere, we shall see.
-
Talking about 'Le Sulk'.. he just signed for West Brom on a years contract... good move IMO, can see the baggies pushing for a top 10 spot next season thanks to Clarkey
-
Schwarzer signed as our back up keeper, well happy with that, after Hilarious and "shot on target and it's a goal...Turnbull"
-
Yep good backup signing.. although he is 40, he wont last much longer before we have to replace him again.
-
Left Fulham because he wasn't guaranteed first team football....Well Mark I hate to tell you but you've just signed for a team whose No.1 is the best goalkeeper in the world. Good luck getting in the team ahead of him.
-
Thus far we has signed;
Javier Garrido from Lazio, we had him on loan last season.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon. ( Club shop should sell a few shirts me thinks ;))
Nathan Redmond from Birmingham.
Martin Olsson from Blackburn.
Carlo Nash on a freebie from Stoke.
Plus rumours of Leroy Fer signing from FC Twente.
So weve been quite busy, and i fancy a couple more strikers to arrive what with the departure of Holty to Wigan.
Still cant believe where we have come from in the last four years ;D
OTBC
-
Leroy Fer confirmed today ;D
I still fancy two strikers to arrive as yet, Hooper and Fabio Quagliarella??
Here's hoping ;D
OTBC
-
Surprised you haven't gone after a Leeds player this summer :o
-
Not this year shellyboy ;)
Looks like Hooper is on his way to Carra Rood ;D
-
Surprised you haven't gone after a Leeds player this summer :o
They took all the good one's, there's only shite left..... ;)
-
Indeed Mr Hooper confirmed yesterday. ;D
Happy with our shopping this summer, thats 7 new signings (well six including last seasons loanee Garrido)
Would like to see another one to play up top though, only got the three. Wolfswinkel, Hooper and Becchio.
OTBC
-
I'm assuming Delia has given up the booze which is how you're able to afford all these players. You'll be pushing for Europe next season.
-
Norwich pushing Europe? That's funny ;D
-
More of a chance then your lot. Or have you forgotten last season?
-
Will be an interesting season for some bottom half sides after splashing the cash this window. Southampton and Norwich especially seem to be showing some ambition.
-
Might be worth sticking a couple of quid on Newcastle reaching a top 4 place and a top 6 place this season. Their season was completely fucked by injuries last season and I can't see them being that unlucky again.
-

Are you mad???
With whats happening at Newcastle, they are imploding, more likely to be near the bottom than the top.
-
More of a chance then your lot. Or have you forgotten last season?
They only finished 3 points better off than us, and we beat them towards the end of the season. Benteke staying will guarantees us a 20 goals a season striker, and with the new players we've signed, along with the years worth of experience players like Lowton, Westwood, Baker and Weimann now have under their belt, I'm confident in saying we'll be better off this season.
-
Willians signed for Chelsea for £32 million.
Great signing.. a little overpriced mind :o
Bye bye Moses ;D
Cant wait to hear the chants he'll get when we play the spuds ;D ;D
-
We'll take Moses!
-
Willians signed for Chelsea for £32 million.
Great signing.. a little overpriced mind :o
Bye bye Moses ;D
Shame about Moses and Willian definitely overpriced. We still need a damn striker. Would rather keep Moses and try him as a striker if needs be.
Cant wait to hear the chants he'll get when we play the spuds ;D ;D
A reworking of that old classic:
We'll be running round Tottenham with Willian hanging out singing, we've got Willian haven't you, we've got Willian haven't you ...).
-
Oh come on drags.. Moses just isn't good enough compared to the other options we have in that position.. he'd never work as a striker
...trust in Mourinho ;D we'll get a striker in the next few days
-
Make that today. eto‘o anyone??
-
Moses gone to Liverpool on a season loan.. I'd expect Ba to go to Arsenal perhaps on a season loan later
-
Have arsenal signed someone good for once ?? :o
Agreed €50m (£42.4m) deal for Ozil who is undergoing a medical
-
United fans not happy with that. Told you Harv United under Moyes isn't appealing to big players. The fact that Ozil would rather join a team that hasn't win a trophy in 8 years is telling.
-
I'd rather we signed Fellaini mate. The rumours are that we're going to have the deal done before the window closes. Great signing for arse though. Am surprised that Ozil didn't sign for PSG tbh.
-
I'd rather we signed Fellaini mate.
Wahahahahaa ;D ;D ;D
-
United's most creative player is Kagawa and they're trying to offload him.
We're trying to sign Libor Kozak from Lazio, top scorer in the Europa League last season, but really don't need a striker, we need an attacking midfielder.
-
They're not trying to offload Kagawa. :-\
-
Apparently we've put in an offer of €36m for Herrera to trigger his release clause and we're also still in for Baines and Fellaini. :o
Herrera would be a great buy 8)
-
Yeah that midfielder who has more yellow and red cards then goals and assists. Clearly tackles like Paul Scholes just doesn't pass and shoot like him.
-
Looks like Baines is out of the picture for United according to Sky, happy about that because we don't need him. We've got Buttner and Fabio as cover for Evra. We know how much money the blue scouse gits want for Fellaini apparently so it's up to Woodward to splash the cash. Will be very happy to see Herrera and Fellaini join United if we can get the deals done in time.
You'll see Herrera being the best midfielder in the Premiership once he's got used to the demands that the Premiership make on players.
-
Fellaini is rumoured to have handed in a transfer request :o
-
Not rumoured any more! 8)
News from arse on the way, am guessing that Ozil deal has been done!
-
Apparently some hiccup has delayed the signing of Herrera but the player can request an hour extension on the deadline so we may have until 12am to sign him. >:(
-
Ozil deal still not done but arse are rumoured to be offering a 5 year deal.
-
Lmfao, wtf :o
Apparently the reps with the Herrera deal were fakes or something lol :o ;D
Weird :-\ ;D
-
Will be seriously narked off if Mata leaves >:(
-
We must have got Fellaini...surely..? :-\ :'(
-
Wont be enough.. United made to look like absolute chumps today lol
_________________________________________________________________________________
Looks like lukakus penalty miss has cost him, season loan at everton lol
-
Looks like the deal's done, paid a bit too much but I've wanted him at United for a couple of years.
-
Blimey, the Coentrao loan was out of the blue :o Very happy with that! 8)

...Lol
-
Buttner has gone out on loan and Coentrao can also play on the left wing and central midfield ;)
-
Buttner has gone out on loan and Coentrao can also play on the left wing and central midfield ;)
Leighton Baines could technically do both of those roles too...Doesn;t mean he'd be any good in them though.
-
That's where Coentrao and Baines differ ;)
-
That's where Coentrao and Baines differ ;)
Well, Baines can play on the wing too, he's a good enough attacking playing to do so, and lets be honest, if Moyes had to resort to playing Coentrao in midfield, what does that say about the regular United midfield?
Funniest thing is, theres loads of reports saying the paperwork wasn't completed in time and that the deal is a no go, so he might not even be a United player full stop...How does it feel that Arsenal had a more successful transfer window Harv?
*Cue a reply about how great the depth of the United squad is and that they didn't even need to make any signings, despite Chelsea, City, Spurs and Arsenal all significantly strengthening their team in more ways than United*
-
So United fans spend all summer mocking Arsenal for their lack of signings. Arsenal sign a world class midfielder and united sign...a thug who looks like a dandelion.
-
£27.5m when you could of got him at the end of July for £23.5m... lol.. Moyes is the new Wenger.. panic buying!
Fellaini's not a bad player.. he's just not what United need... people should remember United have a history of finishing in the top 3 aswell, I'm certainly not writing them off just yet... but theres a new manager, a few disappointing results and a lack of real movement in the transfer window... along with all their rivals considerably boosting their squads, the possibility of finishing outside the top 3 looks ever more likely this season.
-
Turns out that Buttner is still with United, pretty sure Sky said last night he'd gone on loan. And there's still no confirmation whether the Coentrao deal was done on time or not. He's more of a wing back than a left back so if we have got him in time he'll probably play on the left wing.
It wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of contractual obligation that prevented United from getting Fellaini for 4m less, but that 4m isn't exactly going to break the bank.
I'm pretty pissed off that we left things to the last minute though, particularly with the Herrera deal. We won't be able to get him that cheap next Summer.
We'll have to wait and see what happens regarding our league position at the end of the season, I'm still confident that we'll retain the title.
-
Harv changed his tune more times during that transfer window than an epileptic pianist.
Not entirely happy about the Lukaku deal, or the fact that it took Jose to block the Ba to Arsenal loan. Flaming ridiculous loaning players to potential rivals.
It also looks like the case that Ba's refusal to go anywhere but Arsenal is what drove the Lukaku deal.
If Eto'o doesn't prove to still be world class, bearing in mind he's also new to the Premier League, we are no better off up front than last season - and we know how many league goals Ba and Torres scored from January onwards. If Eto'o gets injured, we're serisously screwed.
We've had so many false dawns from Torres I just don't believe he's turned a corner. Played well before the window, now he thinks he's safe as top dog again, he'll probably retreat back into his shell.
I hope I'm not bemoaning our failure to buy a forward again at the end of the season.
You can just see it, Sturridge and Lukaku continuing to bang in the goals while our strikers struggle. Though I'm sure JMAN thinks our attacking midfield will score enough to compensate - just like they did last year when we did so well to win the booby prize of the Europa League.
-
Quite content with how the window went for us. Our defence and attack have been strengthened, and although we didn't manage to secure a "marquee" signing after failed attempts to get Mkhitaryan and Willian, many LFC fans will rightly see keeping Suarez as a marquee signing of sorts.
In:
Kolo Toure - free
Mamadou Sakho - £18m
Simon Mignolet - £9m
Aly Cissokho - (season loan with option to buy)
Luis Alberto - £6.8m
Iago Aspas - £7m
Tiago Ilori - £7m
Victor Moses (season loan - £1m fee)
Kolo has already proven he can still do it at this level and Mignolet is looking like a great signing. Aspas and Alberto haven't done anything yet but it's still early days. Sakho looks be a very good signing; a young beast of a centre back with bags of potential and with plenty of caps for France. Cissokho will provide cover and Ilori is probably one for the future. Apparently he holds the record at Sporting Lisbon's academy for the speed test they conduct on each player, beating Nani's and Ronaldo's times! :o Very impressive for a centre back.
Out:
Andy Carroll (West Ham) - £15m
Stewart Downing (West Ham) - £6m
Jay Spearing (Bolton) - £1.5m
Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea) - £5m
Fabio Borini (Sunderland) - loan - £1m fee
Oussama Assaidi (Stoke) - loan
Pepe Reina (Napoli) - loan - £2m fee
Suso (Almeria) - loan
Michael Ngoo (Yeovil) - loan
Wisdom also in talks for a loan move to Wigan which would be great for him.
-
The only thing I changed my tune about was Coentrao, but he's a wing back and not a left back. And that was because I thought that Buttner had gone on loan so I thought we needed extra cover for Evra.
Am still pissed off that the Herrera deal didn't go through though, still don't have a clue what went on lol. Oh well, I guess we can pick him up in January but then he's not available for the Champions League. :(
-
Any interesting signings on deadline day? No doubt Arsenal signed a couple of schoolboys whilst everyone else broke their transfer records ;D

Nah you were trying for Miss Piggy, but ended up with Kermit.... ;)
-
Mata now a confirmed signing for United (http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9134154/transfer-news-manchester-united-smash-club-record-to-sign-juan-mata-from-chelsea) for £37.1m. Think we may have paid a little too much for him but hopefully he's going to kick-start something for a side that's been woefully underperforming since the start of the season.
-
Upon signing Mata said: "RVP took the No.20 jersey to represent United's 20th League title, I took the No.7 jersey to represent United's League position."
-
:( :( :(
;D
Season isn't over yet mate ;)
-
Looks like Zaha is going on loan to Cardiff for 1.5m. Will be great for him to get regular first team football, I've been impressed by what I've seen of him so far. Could be a key player for both United and England in the not-too-distant future.
-
Number 8 for Mata which leaves the number 7 shirt free for Ronnie when he comes back in the Summer :P
-
The Roonster has just signed a deal to keep him at United until June 2019. Can't believe he's been at United for 10 years already :o
-
Forgot to update this thread yesterday. Apparently Van Gaal has given the go ahead to give Evra a one year deal. A mistake imo, he should be let go. I want to see Buttner given a regular start.
-
Cardiff have signed Macheda on a free and given him a 3 year deal. Good signing by Ollie, shame he didn't get a good run of games at United.
-
Well that's Fabregas in now.
-
Yup, my gooner mate isn't a happy bunny lmfao ;D ;D ;D
-
Some hilarious comments on Gooner forums. Especially AWIMB.
Best one has to be "Rosicky is 10 times the player Fabregas is".
-
Dynamo Moscow have signed Manchester United left-back Alexander Buttner for an undisclosed fee.
The Dutchman, 25, has already joined up with his new club, although some technical details need to be resolved before the contract is finalised.
Buttner joined United from Vitesse Arnhem in 2012 but made only 13 Premier League appearances in two seasons.
"I want to play in the Champions League and win trophies. Dynamo are building a very strong team," Buttner said.
Haha Buttner knows where United are at.
-
He's a great player too, disappointed he didn't see more action while he was at United. Looks like we're close to a deal for Herrera (again! lol) ;D ;D ;D
-
That's the Herrera deal done now, a four year deal ;D
-
And now Luke Shaw for 'in excess of' £30m, for a 4 year deal.
2 signings already, not bad. 8)
At least we're not doing things at the last minute this time around. Reckon we'll have another couple of signings before the window closes.
Think we've paid a bit too much for Shaw though.
I'm really hoping that Zaha and Lingard are both going to be given a chance this season, they were both fantastic during pre-season last season. Can't understand why Moyes didn't give them both a shot last season tbh.
-
The fact you were in for Herrera last season and have now got him, makes you wonder if the managers at Utd have as much clout as Fergie had.
You were also in for Shaw before your new manager took over, so is it a case of Van Gaal taking what he is being given?
Would have liked Chelsea to have signed Shaw, especially given that he is a Chelsea fan, but he's also very expensive for his age (then again he could turn out to be another Bale).
I think Lallana is overpriced though. Only two years younger than Fabregas, but still £25 million, with nowwhere near the experience. They wonder why clubs buy foreign players.
Rumours we're looking to break our transfer record with a bid for Pogba. Would be very happy with that, if not the transfer fee. Matic and Pogba would be a very powerful pairing, with Fabregas, Hazard and Oscar or the combination of Willian, Schurrle or Salah coming in for one of them at times.
Just a left back/centre back and two strikers would be good. Obviously rumours still strong about Costa and now Aubemyang (or however you spell it) from Dortmund.
Going to be an interesting season next year.
I just hope that if Liverpool do a deal with anyone for the cannibal, they do business like they did for Carroll with the proceeds.
-
Yup, he definitely has more clout than Moyes had, but I also think that Woodward has learnt valuable lessons from his failings last season.
We still need another central defender or two, another winger and a holding midfielder I reckon. But we have Zaha waiting in the wings and given Van Gaal's reputation with bringing young players through we may see him giving some of our yoof players a chance, Keane in particular.
He should have anywhere between 90-140m quid to spend yet too. 8)
-
arse have signed Sanchez for reportedly £35m. A good signing for arse, they certainly needed a goalscorer but you can't help feeling that they need to address their.problems at the back rather than up front, especially with Campbell being able to play now.
Still no news on Vermin, he's the only decent defender they have - when he's fit - so I can't see them letting him go unless he has the raving hump :o :-\ :o
-
Nice. United have just got Filipe and Virginia on trial from Benfica. Filipe is supposed to be the next Ronnie apparently. 8)
Mind you, they said the same thing about Nani lol :-\
Both 15 year olds if I remember correctly and all of the big clubs have been sniffing around.
-
Evra has now signed for Juventus for £1.2m, a great servant to the club but he's way past his best. Best of luck to him ;D
-
So far our business has been:
In:
Lallana - £25m
Markovic - £19.8m
Can - £9.8m
Lambert £4m
Total in: £58.6m
Out:
Suarez - £75m
Remy should be added to the 'in' list if he passes his medical. Apparently his fee is £8.5m. We've also accepted a £14m offer for Borini but he's not sure if he wants to go to Sunderland so that one is up in the air.
-
Didier Drogba La La La La La ;D ;D 8) 8)
-
Hope there's a hospital nearby to keep a steady supply of zimmer frames :P ;D :P
-
Looks like Bebe has gone from United to Benfica. Us signing him years ago was always a bit of a weird situation, best of luck to him over there anyway lol :o ;D
-
So we've confirmed the signing of Lovren and the Remy deal is definitely off. Very happy that we're making an attempt to sort out our defence. Lovren looks a class act, I hope he can make the step up. Sad about Remy, I think he would have contributed 15-20 goals this season which would have gone some way to replacing the 30+ we've lost with Suarez's departure. We'll be hard pushed to find a better goalscorer for £8.5m.
In:
Lallana - £25m
Markovic - £19.8m
Can - £9.8m
Lambert - £4m
Lovren - £20m
Total in: £78.6m
Out:
Suarez - £75m
I'd estimate we've probably got about £40m-£50m left in the kitty, but some fans seem to think it's more than that. We may have got Suarez's 200k wages off the bill but I'd say the 5 players we've signed will have easily surpassed that cumulatively. Really could have done with the Borini money but he's adamant he wants to stay. Hopefully we can still sign a full back and a striker before the window is closed.
-
Should have spent some of that £75m on some non-slip boots for Gerrard :P ;D :P
8)
-
That's 19-year old Belgium forward Divock Origi confirmed for us. £10m and a 5 five year contract, of which he'll spend the first year back at Lille. Very exciting player.
-
Has the medical checked his toothy pegs..? I would imagine that the red scouse git medical staff would check them out first thing the way vets do with horsies :P :P :P ;D
-
Vanja Milinkovic, a Serbian 17 year old keeper has just signed for United and will go on loan next season to the club we've bought him from for a year. A bit of a surprise, although they did originally announce it in May apparently...must have missed that lol
-
Bah! Looks like we've missed out on Vermin to Barcelona for £15m :(
Oh well, United will have to (hopefully!) make do with Blind and have Blackett and Michael Keane as backup. And if we get 6 central defenders injured/suspended we can always have Shaw, Rafael, Fletch and Carrick as emergency backup backups lol :o :P ;D ;D ;D
-
Well that's our fourth signing done. Marcos Rojo for £16m plus Nani on loan for 1 year. Should be a great signing, we should now have a defender that's not shy of getting stuck in and making hard tackles. He'll pick up a good few yellows and probably a red card or two over the season but he should scare a few forwards lol. ;D ;D ;D
-
Fortunately Costa and Drogba are not easily scared lol
-
Every forward is scared of getting crippled 8) :P
He's quite an 'old school' defender.
-
Fortunately we've got quite an 'old school' centre forward in Lambert. :P
Sturridge on the other hand is made of glass, so if you could keep Rojo away from him I'd appreciate it.
-
Fortunately for defenders everywhere, Lambert is useless :P ;D
-
Manchester United will pay Nani's 4.8 million wages during his loan spell.
-
Yup, worth it though. Makes the deal £21m worth but if Nani finds his mojo back home then Sporting Lisbon will probably buy him for a decent price.
Di Maria has now said that he wants to leave Real Madras, should be hearing about an official bid from United soon...although I still think Cuadrado would be a better bet than Di Maria myself because imo he's better suited to playing as a wing-back.
-
Ohhhh Balotelli
He's a striker, he's good at darts
An allergy to grass but when he plays he's fucking class
He drives around Moss Side with a wallet full of cash
-
They haven't signed him, have they..? :o
Getting rid of one nutjob and replacing him with another :o :-\ :o
-
Just seen that they've agreed a fee. I think they're going to regret making this signing if it happens. The bloke is trouble.
-
Looks like Benatia is going to sign for Bayern. We should have snuck in a £30m bid before Bayern upped their £24m bid to £30m.
-
Di Maria has passed his medical ;D 8) ;D
-
I also read he has given the go ahead to meet the value of Vidal.
I hope so.
Says there really worried about his long term fitness though. App he had a knee injury that wasn't operated on until 4 weeks after.
-
Torres is gone!! :'(
-
Only on loan ;D ;D ;D
-
A two year loan, and he has two years left on his contract, so effectively a free transfer but doing it this way apparently still has benefits of some kind to do with FFP.
Seriously can't believe you're actually upset about this JMAN. £1.1 million per goal he cost us.
-
I can't believe you are happy about it lol ;)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Remy on his way - £10.5m - congrats to Jose for actually getting a striker to fill that massive void Torres will leave as soon as possible... however I think Remy is just a Ba clone.. can't see him having a massive impact.
-
Alex Song on a 1 year loan to West Ham - good bit of business there by Big Sam
-
Kagawa has joined Dortmund on a 4 year deal for £6.3m. Shame that it didn't work out for him at United, he really should have been scoring around 15 goals a season, although the managers hadn't helped him by playing him out of position for the most part. Best of luck to him over there. ;D
-
Falcao on a one year loan deal for United. ;D
-
That's Welbeck to arse, Falcao to United on loan for a year and Daley Blind to United on a 4 year deal. Shaw, Herrera, Rojo, Di Maria, Blind and Falcao. Not a bad Summer's worth of business.
-
What's most important is that Van Gaal is happy with United's Ins and Outs this season (http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/manchester-united-completed-transfers-a-profile-of-the-new-arrivals-including-falcao-di-maria-and-blind-9706484.html) despite us only spending around £37m more than the red scouse gits. 8) ;D
-
Cleverley loan to Villa is done now. ;D
Would like to see what he's capable of given a decent run of games 8)
-
In effect we really only spent about £34m net, which was important after losing our best player. In net terms:
United spent £113m
City spent £24m
Chelsea spent £16m
Not to mention adding Falcao on £350k a week and Di Maria on £220k a week.
Now who's trying to buy the league. ;D
-
The difference between United buying the Premiership and Chelski and Citeh buying the Premiership is that we're spending money earnt rather than cash from a Sugar Daddy. Completely different ;) 8)
-
Well it's that time of year again. One signing for United so far, Valdes as our number 2 goalie. Means that we'll probably be letting Linda go 8)
-
That's Cuadrado for Chelski confirmed, a great signing. Was a bit pissed off that we didn't sign him last Summer. A great player and he'll love playing Premiership football.
-
Carrick has signed a one year extension. Nice 8)
Not sure how we're going to replace him tbh, for my money he has the biggest and best range of passing in the game at the moment.
-
JT signed another one year extension.. still the best defender in the country :D
-
Forgot to mention that Smalling has signed a new deal until 2019, he's been great so far this season with the only bad point being his red card against the Bitters.
The important deal that hasn't been done yet is De Gea. Need to get that sorted ASAP.
-
Andreas Pereira has agreed a new deal apparently, according to the Daily Mail. Thought we'd lost him to PSG, he's a great player and was a bit pissed off when I thought he was going to go the same way as Pogba.
Worth keeping just for his free kicks alone imo.
-
That's official now, a 3 year extension. He's snubbed PSG despite them offering him three times the wages :o
-
United have signed a Belgian wonder kid keeper, Ilias Moutha-Sebtaoui from Standard Liege. Looks like Chelski were sniffing around him too.
-
Real Madrid are giving the FSW the manager's job. Probably means they're going to win bugger all again next season lol :o ;D
-
Liverpool#s new forward line:
Milner,Ings,Studge,Sterling..
Say goodbye "SOS" say hello to MISS!!
;D
-
Real Madrid are giving the FSW the manager's job. Probably means they're going to win bugger all again next season lol :o ;D
... and I was just waiting for the rumours about him trying to get Hazard to start, but they've also included Costa in the rumours as well.
Part press mischief and part FSW trying to prove he's the cunt we all know he is.
-
Bah! Alves signed a new deal with Barcelona yesterday >:( :(
-
Memphis joining United is now official. The international transfer window opened on Wednesday just gone...a bit daft that it isn't the same date for all countries tbh. :-\
-
Firmino gone to Liverpool for £29m... who?
Cech gone to Arsenal for 11m. Fuck sake.. not going to begrudge him a move.. but why give him to Arsenal. On paper, selling our 33 year old reserve keeper for 11m is a good bit of business.. but we've no doubt just strengthened Arsenals side next season. Begovic would be a half decent replacement.. hope we don't bother going for Rob Green.. personally think he's a shit keeper.
-
He's a good signing for them if it happens. Saw his stats from last season on Squawka when we were supposed to be interested in signing him. I can't imagine that we were though, unless he has mental health issues...that's the only reason I can think of why a player would choose the red scouse gits over United these days lololol :o ;D
If he joins United he's practically guaranteed Champions League football every season, doesn't have Brenda as a manager and will win trophies regularly. Perhaps he's joining the red scouse gits because he was confident of getting a regular starting place..?
-
Jones has signed a four year deal ;D
Despite all the grief he gets he made no defensive errors last season :o
-
Next you'll be saying Jonny Evans is a defensive stalwart.. ::) ;D
Let's say it how it is... Jones is an average but clumsy defender whose tackling can be atrocious at times.. less said about his penalty kicks the better... he's also fairly injury prone.
Despite all the grief he gets he made no defensive errors last season :o
United's win percentage (back in March) was 31% when Jones started. Hilarious ;D
-
Just wait and see. We'll have one of the best defensive records next season.
Looks like Ramos is staying at Madrid, at least according to his Mum.
United haven't offered enough for Schneiderlin and haven't had a second bid according to reports.
Ed Woodward is worth his weight in gold as far as making and closing commercial deals goes but he's bloody useless with transfer deals so far. We probably won't sign ANYONE until the last minute of the transfer window closing again. >:(
-
Looks like Turan has gone to Barcelona...fuck knows how they've managed that, unless it's a dodgy loan deal or something..? :-\
-
Nani and Van Persil are going/have gone to Turkey. Looks like Besiktas are sniffing around Hernandez too.
Van Gaal has confirmed that we're signing Darmian so subject to his medical we'll be seeing Memphis and Darmian coming in.
I can see us making another two or three signings - Otamendi, Schneiderlin and maybe a striker...Austin, perhaps..?
-
Well that's Darmian confirmed now. ;D
And Schweinsteiger is apparently as good as done.
Expect Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin and Otamendi to follow before the start of next weekend all going well. 8)
-
Expect a double unveiling tomorrow - Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin have both had medicals today.
I'm also expecting Otamendi and Gaitan to be done and dusted soon too.
-
Schweinsteiger signing reminds me of Ballack signing for Chelsea.. he had a few good games.. but basically it was just a big payday for him.
With these average signings, I'm quite content that united will not win a bean next season.. and harv will blame "needing time to gell" for the majority of the season. ;D
-
Begovic officially signs for £8m... good signing for a backup.
Think Van Ginkel went the other way on loan for a season.
-
Schweinsteiger won't need any time to gel, that's why it's such a clever signing. He's well versed in playing Van Gaal's system and can slot straight into the injured Carrick's place without a problem. Schneiderlin will take anywhere from a few weeks to a few weeks to learn the system, Darmian won't take that long because all he needs to do is bomb up and down the pitch, overlapping with whoever is playing the 'false right winger' position at the time. Memphis will also have no problems gelling into the side because he's also well versed in Van Gaal's system from his time at Ajax and the Netherlands national side.
If we sign Nico Gaitan he's going to take time to gel in.
But any new players that need to gel in and learn Van Gaal's system should do so by November at the latest, the reason why the side didn't get on board around the same time last season was because Van Gaal was only able to field the same side two or three times during the season lol. Mata and Herrera were the last two players to understand things and we all saw a taste of things to come against Spurs, Liverpool and City until Carrick got injured again. Van Gaal's system is dependant on the defensive midfielder orchestrating the movement of the players either side of him and either side of the central striker. One minute the side will look like this:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Herrera Carrick Young
Mata Roonster Fellaini
The next minute they'll look like this:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Mata Carrick Young
Herrera Roonster Fellaini
And then this:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Herrera Carrick Fellaini
Young Roonster Mata
Or any other combinations of those four players' positions. It's this constant switching and movement that completely destroyed Spurs, Liverpool and City and now we have one (soon to be two when Schneiderlin learns what to do as the number 6) replacement for Carrick United will continue playing this fast paced, fluid, unpredictable and attacking football that we caught a glimpse of during those three matches last season.
I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by United once the season starts.
-
Glad to see the Tinkerman back in the premier league.. to be honest, anyone would be better than the nob he replaced.
Looks like we are leading the race for Pedro at £20m... would be a good signing and would be fantastic working the counter attack with his speed.
-
Van Persil has now officially joined Fenerbahce. ;D
-
Press conference coming up. I love Van Gaal's press conferences, he's not afraid to speak his mind and usually injects a bit of humour here and there.
-
Valdes is out!!! :o
-
Valdes is gone, had the hump with playing for the Reserves. Quite right too, if he's not professional enough to play with the second team to keep up his match fitness and sharpness then Van Gaal is quite right to tell him to fuck right off.
Di Maria is staying, wants to stay and fight for his place. No new news there but still won't stop the papers talking lol ;D
Poor old Darmian, got asked a question and couldn't answer it because his English isn't good enough. Tried his best though lol. He came across as a bit of a Scholes sort of character as far as shyness goes. Don't think we'll see him doing that many interviews even if his English improves :o ;D
-
So De Gea and Valdes want to leave...
wonder how much the decision to sell or not to sell De Gea will come back to bite Van Gaal on the arse next season.. if you don't sell you get an unhappy keeper for the season who leaves for nothing at the end of it... or you get a reduced fee now, but you get the chance to buy a replacement before the start of the season...thing is.. time is running out to get a replacement.. Cech, Begovic have both gone and Lloris has fractured his wrist
Theres a built-in excuse for you when you win sod all again for the 3rd consecutive season though harv ;)
-
De Gea will go on a free next Summer and his behaviour so far has been exemplary...he's not going to go on strike or let his performances drop.
And we were never in for Cech or Begovic. If we were we would have signed them. Same goes for Lloris too.
If anything there's more pressure on Real Madrid to sign a new keeper now that Casillas has gone. We've lost our number two but can promote within the club. Lindegaard will become our number two again.
If we do sign another keeper then I reckon we'll be signing Cillessen who actually had better stats than De Gea last season. :o
-
Not quite confirmed but Di Maria hasn't joined the rest of the squad in the States, transfer will probably be confirmed tomorrow or Monday to PSG for £45m. Such a pain in the arse that those wankers attempting to break into his house has ruined what was looking like the best signing that United had made in donkey's years. >:( :'(
Oh well, leaves room in the squad for Ronnie lol :P ;D
-
Sergio Romero is now a done deal. He had an amazing World Cup, hopefully he's going to continue those performances at club level. A bit of a concern that we're getting him on a free though. Still, having the Argentina number one as our number two isn't too shabby. ;D
-
Rafael to Lyon confirmed. A shame to see him go but the right back position is in VERY good hands with Darmian though, he's going to be considered by many to be the best signing of the Summer at the end of the season imo.
-
Di Maria now confirmed as a PSG player.. £44m.. that's £15m less than what united paid for him last season..
What a joke.. united fans hailing him as their new number 7 and saviour to the club... now calling him a mercenary and useless ;D ;D
Glad Van Girl knows how to spend their dosh on useless crap
-
The main problem that United fans have with him is the disrespect shown to the club, the manager and the fans by not going to the States. It was disgraceful behaviour.
-
Mou just signed a new 4 year deal ;D
Awesome sauce 8)
-
He'll probably have a row with Abramovich and either quit or get the sack before the end of the season :P ;D :P
-
De Bruyne signed for citeh apparently
58 million :o :o
-
Well that's the De Gea situation resolved at last lol. We've got £29m plus Navas, pretty good deal. ;D
Linda and Evans have gone to West Brom, Hernandez has gone to Leverkusen and Januzaj has gone to Dortmund on loan.
Coming in we've got Anthony Martial for £36m, a record fee for a teenager. He's been compared to Terry Henry apparently, but is a bit of a lazy fucker apparently...can't see Van Gaal putting up with that for long, this may not end well :o :-\ :o
Am expecting another striker or winger coming in before the window closes tomorrow.
-
Oh dear, panic buying at its finest ;D
-
Apparently United have scouted Martial for a while. Not a panic buy at all. We've paid over the odds for him but United always do get shafted when buying players. Happens to all big clubs.
-
Lmfao, apparently De Gea is still a United player lol
The paperwork wasn't sorted in time lololol ;D ;D ;D
A shame because that would have been a GREAT deal for United :o
-
United are claiming that everything was done at 10:59pm UK time and have documented evidence of it. Should get sorted on appeal tomorrow I reckon.
-
Think that just sums up united's summer's transfer activity - a complete farce. Ed Woodward has been comedy gold this season, keep it up son! ;D
You don't think Martial is a panic buy harv.. lolol.. I doubt you'd of even heard of him before news broke lol... for someone who reports on every single bit of united gossip, you've never mentioned him.. I hadn't really heard of him and the ones in the know all seem to think he is a complete gamble and you've paid way, way, WAY over the odds for him on the last day of the transfer market because nobody else wants to join your club.. its the complete definition of a panic buy.
Plus I thought LVG said he was giving Hernandez and Januzaj a chance... think Hernandez played all of 30 minutes in your last 4 games... so I wouldn't believe anything he says.. "scouted for a long time" probably means.. he saw him on tele once lol ;D
-
Apparently we signed him and paid over the odds to stop your lot from buying him next year. ;)
More talk of Griezmann coming to United too, not too keen on him myself.
-
Looks like the De Gea deal has completely collapsed.. lol. 2 months to sell him, play hardball to get more money, panic, give in and cobble together a deal in 10 minutes.. and then fuck it all up - classic woodward.
I don't think united will be signing anyone else.. which will leave you a strike force of Rooney (no goals in 10 PL games) and two teenagers (although there is even talk of Wilson leaving) lol.
____________________________________________________________________________
In Chelsea news, we've extended Moses contract.. for 4 years.. who the fuck comes up with this.. he'll never get in the Chelsea team, he'll constantly be loaned out.. just get rid. ::) I doubt we'll get anymore deals done with Stones looking like a no-go. Would love to sign Pogba, but can't see that happening at the prices/wages being touted.
-
Just caught the end of a discussion about it on Sky Sports News and they're saying it's entirely down to Real Madrid :o
So nowt to do with Woodward, who has been fantastic so far this Summer.
-
Oh yeah.. leaving it down to the last minute of the transfer deadline is totally down to Real Madrid.. absolutely ::) ;D ;D
Madrid have released a 10 point document completely blaming United.. and the main failing points to United holding the contracts for 8 hours to make minor amendments to the Navas part of it lol.
Woodward has been fantastic to watch this summer for sure lol... never mind, you'll get Bale, Kane, Ronnie and Neymar in January.. ;) ;D ;D
-
Everything was done in time by United. Real Madrid didn't submit their paperwork for Navas until it was too late.
No big names for United yet (apart from Schweinsteiger and Memphis) but signing Romero, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Memphis and Martial for just over £100m is a great bit of business. Shame we didn't get Navas but if I was De Gea I'd have the right hump with Real Madrid. It would be hilarious if he signs a new deal over this, highly unlikely but it would be hilarious lololol ;D
I would have had the raging hump with Real Madrid's valuation of me if I was De Gea.
-
Time is running out now. Thought that we'd end up getting another winger or striker before the window closes. No news yet :-\
-
Oh well, no more signings. Could mean, with Adnan going on loan, that both Pereira and Lingard will get a shot of first team action..? :-\
-
lolol.. just seen Uniteds press release in retaliation to Madrid's 10 point document... its like being at school.. he said this and she said that lol.. what a pathetic bunch of losers.. ;D ;D
Poor De Gea.. has to stay in that shithole of a city for another season - his missus is probably going fucking mental at him lol.
Rooney, Martial and Wilson up-front.. yeah, I'd stick money on United winning nothing this season - unfortunately I couldn't find that bet.. so gone with the next best thing and stuck a fiver on united finishing outside the top 4 at 15/8 - I didn't even get good odds for it ;D ;D
Edit : Ah bollocks.. I just found that bet - 1/6 odds.. lololol
-
The difference is that United have the English FA to back their version of events up plus time-stamped documents.
It really is bizarre behaviour from Real Madrid. If they've gone out of their way to kill the deal off, why bother..? United are quite happy to let him go on a free transfer at the end of the season but now Real Madrid have pissed off both their future number one and their current number one.
If they had offered United £35m for him when the window opened they would have De Gea as their number one and Navas as their number two and both keepers happy. Forget about De Gea, Navas is a world class keeper himself.
De Gea can't be impressed with Real Madrid's handling of this, nor of how little Real Madrid value him as a player. I'm beginning to think that Perez may have mental health issues lol :o ;D ;D ;D
Has he sacked his agent yet..? That has to be happening soon ;D
-
No.. United have the English FA to back up that they submitted their documents to the TMS a couple of minutes before the deadline.. so what... they fucked around with the contracts for 8 hours during the day which ultimately led to Madrid not having enough time to register the player and submit the details to the TMS. Why would Madrid purposely sabotage the transfer of a player they have been chasing all summer ?
What I don't understand from United's version of events.... if Madrid had not contacted them in the whole transfer window until the last day.. and De Gea was a key member of the team... why was LVG not playing him again - lol. Everton had a few offers for John Stones and carried on playing him regardless.. and players like Berahino who were dropped from the team.. these players actually had bids made for them... doesn't make sense to me.
And you say Madrid have pissed off their keepers, well De Gea has made it clear he doesn't want to play for United, he's going to be fucked off that United delayed the documents going back to Madrid and LVG has made it clear that he doesn't trust Romero as no. 1 as United added Navas to the deal.. so United have done the exact same lol.
I'll be very surprised if De Gea turns out against Liverpool now... either way I couldn't give two shits... the whole saga is pathetic ;D ;D
-
Ramires sold for £25m... came out of left field that one... whilst he did have a few good days with us.. he was quite inconsistent... TBH, I don't think he's worth £25m - probably more along the lines of 15m - so as long as we can replace him, it'll be a decent bit of business for us
Looks like Pato will be joining us on loan till the end of the season too.. hopefully that means Falcao will be a goner.. signing him was the worst decision Jose ever made.
-
The worst decision he ever made was getting rid of Eva lololol ;D ;D ;D
-
You never know Falcao may go back to United. Their fucking shit up front so they can't get any worse.
-
Well that's Eric Bailly confirmed, subject to a work permit. Think we've paid too much for him though. :-\
-
Well that transfer saga is now finally over, Pogba has now officially come home. This is probably the best transfer period I've ever seen for United - Bailly, Pogba, Micki and Zlatan for around £160m in total. A great bit of business. 8)
-
McNair and Love have both gone for £5.5m :o
That's an unbelievable deal for Sunderland, I'll be sorry to see them go :'(
-
Pep has completely lost the plot and signed Claudio Bravo :o
And Cillessen was available too. :o :-\ :o
If Citeh fans thought that Hart was bad during the last couple of years they haven't seen anything yet. Pep has probably given either United or Chelski the title. Madness. ;D ;D ;D
-
Well that's the Roonster confirmed back home on a free transfer. A great signing for Everton and I'm sorry to see him go, best of luck to him. ;D
-
And that's Lukaku done and dusted for £75m plus £15m of potential add-ons. Should be a good signing for United, only Aguero has scored more Premiership goals during the last 5 years. ;D
-
FINALLY we've got a manager that's had the guts to sell Januzaj. He showed A LOT of early promise but wasn't anywhere near consistent enough to be a United player. He's gone to Real Sociadad for around £9m.
-
Well that's the Bakayoko deal done for Chelsea. Leaves Matic free to leave now. Shame we didn't get him because that would have been hilarious...I reckon Conte might have quit if that had happened :o ;D
-
Nice! Romero has just signed a new 4 year deal. 8)
-
Moratas off to Chelsea, £60m, could rise to £70m.. It's about £25m too much, but much rather him than that donkey lukaku ;)
-
That means that you can finally get rid of Costa, he's a disgrace to football imo. The Premiership will be better off without him. How he's only managed to get sent off once in his Chelsea career is unbelievable.
-
For a minute there I thought you were talking about Zlatan - the biggest dirtiest cheat around whose full of absolute horse-shit!
-
I'd have to agree with that assessment of Costa, guy is a weasel, always playing dirty but hates getting it done back to him. Spent most of his matches crying to the referee.
-
United have done another deal for Zlatan, puts our total of injured players up to 5 now though. Not a bad player to have on the bench if we need a goal 8)
-
Well it looks like the papers got things a bit wrong lol. Oxymoron has just signed for the red scouse gits. Not sure what the fuck Klopp was thinking there. :-\
-
I'm glad we didn't get the Ox.. he's akin to a shit Walcott.. who is also shit.
Unsure what the point was in doing a great deal to sell Matic for £40m because he's nowhere near worth that...
to go and spunk most of it on Drinkwater for £35m who is also nowhere near worth that..
Don't know too much about Zappacosta.. but gives us more options in Moses position who can blow hot and cold.
-
Matic is worth £60m at least (given the way that transfer prices have gone crazy again). Chelsea letting him go in the first place was a mistake but letting him go to United? That's just seven kinds of insane. :o
Not that I'm complaining 8) ;D 8)
-
Well that's Sanchez confirmed. I think he's overrated myself but we'll have to wait and see how he does I guess.
Apparently Micki joining arse is a 'dream come true' for him. Not a very ambitious player then, is he? lol :o ;D
Oh well, best of luck to him. He's a good player, just wasn't producing the goods in training I guess?
-
Well looks like I was right about Sanchez lol
Two new signings for United already - Fred for £52m and Diogo Dalot for £17.4m.
-
We've got Maruizio Sarri as our new manager at last.. and Zola joined as Assistant Coach yesterday.
We've got someone who hasn't won a trophy in his entire career joined with someone who has had fairly terrible spells as a manager. What could go wrong? lol.
-
Maureen's first press conference of the season yesterday and NONE of the Mickey Mouse journalists there asked him why we didn't sign Ronnie. Should have been the first question he had to answer. Unbelievable.
United's first pre-season friendly at 3am against the Mexican side Club America.
Maureen said he didn't know if we were signing anyone else lol
Tbh I don't think we need any more signings, I'm hoping that Fosu-Mensah, Gomes and Chong are going to break through into the first team and see some action.
-
This woman Alisson that Klopp has just bought to play in goal for Liverpool has got a beard. Seems like she'll really fit in in the city of Liverpool lol :P ;D ;D ;D
-
Chelsea signed Pulisic for £58m.. good signing.. although we won't see him until the Summer... I just hope this doesn't definitely mean Hazard is going.. we're fucked if he leaves ;D
-
Chelsea getting Higuain on loan is a great signing, particularly seeing as the gamble getting Morata didn't pay off.
We'll still knock them out of the top four though despite that :P ;D
-
Shaw unwell during the warm-up so Dalot starts at right back and Young switches to the left, otherwise it's Ollie's usual line up.
Pogba puts us 1-0 up from the spot after getting sandwiched in the goal area by two defenders.
United are continuing with their fast paced attacking football with penetration and width. Brighton looking dangerous on the break.
-
Quick feet from Rashford and a nice finish makes it 2-0 to United. 8)
-
2-0 at half-time, and the red scouse gits are getting beat by Palace at half-time. At home. :o
If we end up winning, the red scouse gits end up losing and Chelsea and arse draw I'll be a VERY happy bunny. We could be looking at a title challenge :P
-
Oh bollocks. 1-1 now at Anfield lol ;D
-
They've got one back, 2-1 to United. Liverpool and Palace is now 2-2. Jones should have cleared that with his head. >:(
-
Mata on for Lingard for the last 15 minutes.
-
2-1 final score and Ollie keeps his 100% record. The end of the second half was a bit nervy at times but we deserved 3 points.
And just when I thought that the red scouse gits had started their wobble they ended up winning 4-3 lol ;D :P
Chelsea vs arse next, any result would be good for us but I'd prefer a draw so that both teams drop 2 points.
-
Chelsea have been shite so far, they're playing like they're filling their trousers. Lacazette puts them a goal ahead.
-
Well that goal has lit a fire under their bums now. They're starting to play now and create chances.
-
2-0 to arse. I can't see Chelsea getting ANYTHING from this game if they don't step things up. :o
-
And yes. I did post all of this in the wrong thread. Sue me. lol ;D ;D ;D
-
Yessssssssssssss!!!
We've managed to finally get rid of Sanchez!!! 😁
He ended up going on a free with Inter paying his contract off, so it's saved us 16m or so in wages over two years.
The Sancho deal is ALMOST done too. There are rumours that this will be announced on Friday. Dortmund want the deal done by 10th so the rumours about the 7th could be right.
Next up I want to see a new Pogba deal, and Grealish and van de Beek being brought in with Pereira and Lingard on the way out. 😎😁😎
-
British press are saying that United are prepared to walk away from the Sancho deal because they're nowhere near agreeing a deal. Romano is saying that it's a load of bollocks and they're close to doing a deal, it's a work in progress.
-
Express are now reporting that we've agreed a deal with Dortmund for £100m. £80m up front and the £20m in add-ons.
Leaves us £10m or so in cash and instant credit of £140m if I'm remembering correctly. That's if we don't sell any players of course! 😁
-
Woodward is continuing to haggle and the deadline has come and gone. Dortmund have said at a press conference that Sancho signed a year extension to his contract a year ago so he's there until 2023, which means his value won't drop next Summer.
They also said that he's definitely staying at Dortmund now that the deadline has gone, but I'm not too worried about that because they said exactly the same thing about Dembele too.
All United need to do to get this deal over the line is stop fucking about and pay the cash.
-
First signing for United, young Filip Stevanovic from Partisan Belgrade. He's going to remain at Belgrade on loan next season. 😁
-
Oops, Stevanovic hasn't officially signed yet. Romano says it's happening though. €10m fee.
-
Chelsea are signing LOADS of players during this transfer window. Lamport showing his inexperience here. Making that many changes in such a short space of time isn't a great idea. He'll probably have problems gelling that many players at once.
-
Lampard came into a team he couldn’t make any changes too because of a transfer ban last season when he took charge so I imagine he’s making these signing to support a style of play that suits him more, than what he’s currently got.
-
Don't worry, Harv is just spouting crap because United haven't bought anyone.. who would "want" to play for a 3 year trophyless team with a useless manager I guess... ;D
Lampard giving the squad a much needed overhaul, very happy with the signings so far, not so sure about silva, but he would bring experience to that back line.. need to get the havertz deal over the line and we'll have a team capable of challenging for the title next season..
-
He's signing too many players at once. He'll lose squad cohesion and will struggle to get them to gel. I'd have exactly the same concern if Ollie was doing the same thing. You can't change that many players at once ina professional football team, it's asking for trouble.
I am pissed off about the board not supporting Ollie, I've already mentioned this. But I think that Judge and Woodward are going to do exactly the same thing that they did with Maguire and Wan-Bissaka. They'll waste (and have wasted!) weeks 'negotiating' and then sign Sancho at the last minute and give Dortmund EXACTLY what they were asking for in the first place. This way they've got an excuse for not signing any more players, there won't be enough time to get any more deals done.
And if we DON'T sign anyone before the window closes in October I do worry about the state of Woodward's house afterwards lol ;D ;D ;D
It's very disappointing tbh, we should have a net spend of £300m every season, we've certainly got the income to do that without falling foul of the FFP regulations, but the Glazers are as tight as arse holes. Ideally a club shouldn't buy more than four players at once for the reason I've given. Leeds are going to have problems next season too.
Us and Leicester are the only two teams that haven't brought in any new players (apart from us extending Ighalo's loan), it's an absolute disgrace. :o >:(
-
Any manager with the resources of Chelsea will spend big after a transfer ban. Chelsea once bought in like 13 players in 2004 and look how well that worked for them. Based on that I wouldn’t worry about gelling.
I’m not worried about Leeds, I believe in our board and manager ;)
-
van de Beek wasn't selected to play for Ajax today because of a possible transfer. Hope it's us buying him but there's also talk of Spurs and Real Madrid being possibilities. Romano has said that Barcelona aren't in contention though.
Probably not us either because there's not enough time for Judge and Woodward to get a transfer done. 😭
Sancho and van de Beek would be a good transfer window for us though in terms of ins, and getting rid of Sanchez is a very good out.
-
van de Beek has told his team mates that he wants to come to United. 😁
United are also in for Thiago, Badashiele and of course Sancho. I'd prefer to get Grealish over Thiago but not a bad second option, although his fitness is a bit of a concern. He gets injured getting out of the bed in the bloody morning 😲😂
Sancho, Thiago, van de Beek and Badashiele coming in will be a great bit of business for United. Not going to hold my breath though because Judge and Woodward are fucking incompetent ☹😡☹
-
Going by reports United will put in a bid for van de Beek tomorrow matching Ajax's valuation. So that would mean a medical on Tuesday or Wednesday and him signing on the dotted line on Wednesday or Thursday.
We still need Grealish too imo, van de Beek is better played as a number 8 and whilst he CAN play as a number 10 he won't be good enough cover for Fernandes imo. This signing has the potential to be as influential as the signing of Fernandes earlier this year.
I'm pretty sure we'll see Smalling, Pereira and Lingard leaving this Summer to add to Sanchez going. Those four players out and van de Beek, Sancho, Badashile and hopefully Grealish in will be fantastic transfer business from United. There's still talk of us getting Thiago too.
-
Well that's Donny van de Beek officially done and dusted. £35m on a five year deal with an optional one year on top. He's going to wear number 34 as a tribute to someone he used to play with collapsed on the pitch and ended up in a coma. 😲
Talk of Romero and Smalling going elsewhere soon.
I'm REALLY hoping that we can also get rid of Rojo and Jones too, will clear the way for Mengi to be integrated into the first team next season.
We're also looking for a left footed center back, my money would be on Badiashiele rather than Upamecano, and of course we have the Sancho deal to bring over the line too.
If we bring in van de Beek, Upamecano/Badiashiele and Sancho and get rid of Sanchez, Smalling, Romero, Jones, Rojo and Pereira that will hands down be the best bit of transfer business we've done in quite some time. 😎😁😎
-
Well still no more signings and we've got our first game next weekend against Palace ☹
This board and owners are incompetent 🤬😡🤬
-
Looking like the Sancho deal isn't going to happen. Unbelievable.
If the board are going to try to buy him next Summer, assuming that there's a vaccine for COVID-19 and isn't an issue any more, we're going to have competition to sign him, and there's no guarantee that we're going to have Champions League football then either.
Only signing van de Beek so far with our first game on Saturday is an embarrassment. The board and the owners are REALLY letting Ollie down.
I can't see us improving on our Premier League position with only one signing, and there's talk of us taking fucking BALE on loan ffs.
I fear for the safety of Woodward's fucking house if more transfers aren't done. 😲☹
-
It's looking like Bale is going to Spurs instead, am happy about that because he'll get injured every 5 minutes I think.
United HAVE to get Sancho during this transfer window. Next Summer there's no guarantee that we'll have Champions League football and if there's a COVID-19 vaccine by then other sides will be in for him too because they'll have the cash from gate receipts.
Woodward is a fucking clown 🤡 🤬😡🤬🤡
-
Fucking hell. United are apparently going to offer £90m for Sancho tomorrow. Ridiculous. If they don't bid £108m they won't get him. Simple as that. A club the size and stature of United should have NO problem paying over a hundred million quid on a generational talent. This really is getting embarrassing.
And PSG have had a bid accepted for Telles. He's IDEAL for United, a MUCH better option than Reguilon, and we're going to miss out on him too I expect.
I'm fuming at the moment. :-[ >:( :( >:( :-[ :'(
-
Thats Fosu Mensah legt for Bayer Leverkusen. The power that be must've thought he weren't gonna make it.
-
Yup, it's a real shame about Timbo. I was hoping that Ollie would give him a go as a CDM too. ☹
-
We've just hijacked the Berties' attempt to sign Ronnie!!!
He's coming back home!!!
I reckon he's got another couple of years of top level football in those legs.
I'm sooooooooooo happy!!! 😎😁😎
-
Hijacked ! Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
You've just spent £70 million on a 36 year old !
-
What else would you call it? The Bitter Blues were on the verge of signing arguably the best player in the world (personally I'd put Ronnie ahead of Messi because Ronnie has produced the goods in multiple countries for multiple sides) and swooped in and signed him within 24 hours.
Within hours of announcing the signing United's share price shot up by 8% and United's social media presence sky rocketed.
His age MIGHT be a concern if it was any player apart Ronaldo. It's not as if he's a 36 year old player that's decided to let himself go in the last few years eating pies. This is a player that's had the discipline to keep himself at the peak of physical fitness since the day that he kicked a football for the very first time.
There's no doubt in my mind that he can continue to perform at the top level for another couple of years, there are even rumours that we have the option of another year on top in his contract.
-
He may be all that but he was offered to us and we declined his terms as did PSG.
Pep doesn't sign over 30's- He buys for the future
Bitter Blues Ha ! I'm having the time of my life matey .
The Raggies panic again in the TM just like you did with Sanchez.
Just in case you hadn't noticed the share price only benefits the Glaziers.
They've thrown you a bone and you're gnawing away on it like a good set of numbnuts.
No more protests hahahaha
-
Pep doesn't sign over 30s? Then how come he was on the verge of signing Ronnie?
They reckon United will gain £30m in the first year of Ronnie at the club due to advertising deals, you could probably double that if he gets to wear number 7. And with James gone 21 is available for Cavani and unless the Premier League have gone insane they won't refuse to change the numbers. CR7 playing in the Premier League is more marketable than CR28 for them.
And despite his age Ronnie is still a goal machine - another two goals breaking another World Record, the most amount of goals scored by an international football, 111. And he won't be stopping there. 111 goals in 180 appearances isn't too shabby at all.

Not bad when a 36 year old is your best player !
Read what the Juventus chairman said. " City did not want to pay for him"
He busted his nuts when he left Juventus, He wanted to win trophies and the only place he was going to do that was with City ( He's never won the europa though ! )

Ronnie would have been City's best player too if they had managed to sign him. He's one of the two best players in the world right now, the other being Messi. Signing Ronnie puts us in with a good shout for winning the Premier League. Our problem since Fergie retired (apart from Moyes' disastrous season and Maureen's last season where he was doing his very best to get the sack for his usual massive payout) has been SCORING goals, not conceding them, we've had one of the best defensive records every season apart from those I've just mentioned but we haven't been anywhere near the top goalscorers since Fergie retired except for last season.
Ollie started to address that problem when we were second top goalscorers last season with 74 goals and now with the signings of Sancho and Ronaldo we've got players there to create and score those goals, particularly when sides park the bus against us. Sancho has had a slow start so far but he had a slow start last season too, and still managed over 30 direct goal involvements (either a goal or an assist) last season and for the previous two seasons if I'm remembering correctly.
Ronnie will score 30+ goals this season, no doubt in my mind about that. You'd be a fool not to believe that either Salah or Ronnie will win the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

There's little point arguing with harv, he won't accept any truths, just the ones that fit his deranged narrative.
United made a loss on Lukaku because OGS couldn't manage the team to work with him, arguably one of the best strikers in the world now, but united have never had the strikers to compete apparently ;D ;D
Any team where Fred or Matic are 1st team starters are instantly not title contenders.
-
Jman, You can only play one way with him in your team so he was never what we needed. You got the man I wanted to see in light blue and he could be the title decider.
Are Gove and Clarkson turning up to your home games now ?
-
Oh and Harv, Ronaldo would have played in our Carabou cup team but we'd let him have enough minutes to get his PL champions medal.

Pep would have had Ronnie, the best player in his side, playing every game that he possibly could.
When people are debating who the best player in the world is right now there are only two players EVER mentioned, Ronnie and Messi. There are NEVER any City players mentioned in that conversation, not even de Bruyne.
-
Well that's Mount signed for United, and a deal for Onana VERY close. Onana could be confirmed over the weekend or Monday.
And there's talk of a loan deal being involved in a transfer deal for Hojlund, with Greenwood going to Atalanta.
-
I wont say Mount is a bad transfer, but it's not really an improvement for your midfield or attack. Looks like a panic buy to me. Hopefully the Glazers are staying and this is the kind of transfers that Manchester United fans get used to.

You were right about one thing Harv, Oh sorry no you weren't :) :) :)

You ARE joking, right?
Mount won the Chelsea Player Of The Season award for two out of the last three seasons and has won the Champions League.
And hasn't improved our midfield? Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that he isn't an improvement on Fred and McTominay?!!? 😲😂😂😂
The signing of Mount will mean that ten Hag will have the players that he needs to play 4-3-3 with a number 6 and two attacking number 8s for the first time since he started the job last season.
And if/when we sign Amrabat we'll have decent backup for Casemiro. And before you start saying that he isn't a good player, Barcelona have tried to sign him. 😉 And no, he didn't play for Watford, that's his brother. 😝😂

Mount is made of glass. He didn't win the Champions League single handed, he was part of a well managed Chelsea squad. When Chelsea have played badly he goes missing in games. And when it happens in Manchester all you plastic Mancs will use him as a scapegoat and blame the Glazers for signing him ;D ;D ;D
As for Amrabat, i'm quite aware of who he is, as are most people who watch world football. If Manchester United manage to pull that transfer off, then i would say that's a massive improvement to their team. So i really do hope he doesn't. 8) ;) ;D

Hojlund, who signed for United today, has equalled £100m Mudryk's Premier League goal tally 😝😂😂😂
