Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

[Stevencc]

SSN are now saying that the deal is very close and only small details are needing to be finalised. They also reckon that Lukaku has been Jose's number one forward target the whole time, suggesting that Morata was always a fallback option and something of a smokescreen to get this deal done.

 

[Bilo]

What have they said? I can't find it.

It was a quote from the press conference, where the chairman or owner or whatever puppy Red Bull has put in charge said they won't be selling any key players period.

I hope that's true because he'd be excellent for you. It could be a ploy to squeeze more money out of you, though.

 

[Bilo]

Yes I jumped the gun a bit but I feel less confident now.

What about Grizmann though mate he would have transformed you lot wouldn't he?

Never heard of the c*** mate.

 

[smat]

^^ no. He's an abysmal player.

 

[Mr. Scruff]

Best thing about this would be able to tell Madrid to go fuck themselves.

Hopefully this means Matic and Peresic are just smokescreens too.

They have to say that, it's on.

I'd love us to be in a position to tell Madrid to go fuck themselves, definitely.

I want us to sign Matić but I think Chelsea won't take kindly to us gazumping their approach for Lukaku and as such we might actually end up with Fabinho - which is what most United fans see as the preferable option anyway.

I'm still not very excited about Perišić either.

 

[smat]

For good reason. He's awful.

 

[Stevencc]

What do you reckon to Lacazette mate?

Deadly finisher. Superb player.

Don't worry Bill. Our chairman says that every year and we both know how that goes......

 

[Stevencc]

Leicester are in talks with Iheanacho according to Simon Stone of the BBC.

 

[Jockney]

£25m for a bit-part player is one of the bargains of the Summer...

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah Iheanacho deserves a shot someplace else. He's showed more than enough at City to become an established player elsewhere.

 

[Stevencc]

He's been lauded as the physical proof of City's wonderful academy and has been touted as their future.

Not anymore, it seems.

 

[Super_horns]

Chalobah coming back on loan to us - hopefully do as well as he did for us a few years back albeit that was in the Championship.

Just need a striker or two now and a left back.

£5million full transfer not a loan from everything I've seen.

 

[Super_horns]

Yes - think that was just a Twitter rumour !

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Fabian Delph, 12m to Stoke? Surprised a few more clubs aren't sniffing around, sure his stock has fallen off a cliff but 12m seems positively cheap in this market.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Most people have probably forgotten that he exists. Like Jon Flanagan.

 

[Benji]

Newcastle linked with Niang and Bas Dost for quite a lot of money. I don't expect either will happen, but I'm not sure if any of it is substantiated or just purely paper bollocks.

 

[JimJams]

I know for a fact that John Flanagan still remembers Fabian Delph.

 

[HarvSFC]

Flanagan looks like the type of guy who can't remember his own name.

 

[JimJams]

We're going in for Iheanacho for 25mill, buyback at 42mill, Iheanacho hasn't even spoke to us as he's on his holiday. So he could just say get fooked.
Everton want Demerai Gray. They can fuck right off.
Arsenal apparently only willing to offer 35mill for Mahrez, yet willing to go to 40 for Lemar. Yeah that makes sense. Suck my balls Wengbot Femputer.
Boudebouz tentatively linked to us, presumably because he's a skillful Algerian and we'll need one to keep up with our quota if Mahrez departs. Don't see anything in that, but I'd be happy if we were in for him, Mahrez or not.
We will be royally fucked if we make these signings come next ACN.

 

[smat]

He's shit.

 

[Stevencc]

Rooney's going! He's really going!

 

[Nilsson]

It's definitely time to say goodbye but it's always sad when a player who's done so much for us leaves. Our all time top goalscorer, won multiple PL titles and every other major domestic and European trophy. You could never question his commitment on the pitch, genuinely loves playing football and winning, and it's easy to forget just how amazing peak Rooney was. His partnership with Ronaldo was something else, those two on the counter attack were unstoppable.

I hope a move to Everton reinvigorates him and he finishes his career strongly. I reckon he's still got PL goals left in him, especially with energetic players like Gueye, Schneiderlin and Klaasen behind him.

 

[Benji]

I think he wil slot into the Pirlo role nicely there.
