Transfer Rumours The Manchester United Transfer Rumours Thread -Updated Daily!

Forgot about Contreao

 

Katie, how are you feeling after every decent centre half in Europe turned Chelsea down on transfer deadline day? You ended up signing a couple of defenders who are worse than the defenders in your youth team (who will end up at other clubs as Jose refuses to play them).

In all honesty, having won the league last season did you think Chelsea would be in such a mess right now? Manager has flipped, players look disinterested, staff disgruntled.

Jose's third season syndrome!

 

The only good player left - the little belgian - looks out of sorts. And the team looks like it is cruising in the caribbean.

Hazard will be off to Spain at the end of the season. Barca will be able to sign players again and working off knock downs from Costa will get tedious soon.

 

Dodged a bullet with Baines

 

Really glad that we don't have to talk or speculate about transfers any more...

That's the benefit of being an Arsenal fan

 

De Gea named in 25 man CL squad, Valdes left out.

 

Will he play?

 

Unless that fat waiter has knocked Real Madrid out of the CL in the group stages, we wont be selling him January.

 

First round of games might be a bit too soon but no reason to think he wont play once match fit.

 

Good point sir

 

Match fit, he stands still for most the time, a bloke who smokes 100 day would do the job

 

I don't see him going in January, as why would Madrid want to pay a fee for a cup tied player when they can get him for free at the end of the season. It makes no sense for them to spend money on him

 

No ****.



Interesting that Nick Powell is in the CL squad. The forgotten man.

 

We only have an A squad of 23, as McNair, Pereira and Wilson are homegrown and U21 so there's no point not sticking him on the list just as a backup.

Will be surprised if he plays for us again - Leicester cancelled his loan last season as his attitude was poor so I think that's probably him done at the top level. He'll be off to Liverpool in a year or two...

 

LVG to target 'Superstars' over squad building in future transfer dealings ..........

Good, because that was ultimately SAF's approach to transfers.

Build the squad from young players and prospects we can sign for a low price which leaves us free to focus on splashing the cash on the big signings like Keane, Cole, Stam, Yorke, Veron, Rio, Rooney, Berbatov and RVP. It's no coincidence that SAF broke the British transfer record four or five times whilst still spending substantially less than pretty much every title challenger we had.

The squad building approach smacks a bit of Benitez with his "buy eight or nine squad players a year, hope that two or three of them will be better than what we have, sell the others at a loss and complain that there's no money left". We aren't going to run out of money, but we won't build a title challenge unless we focus on bringing in genuine world class players, even if some of them go the way of Veron and Berb.

It is high time that the roles are reversed. How many times have we had targets being snatched by higher offers from the likes of Madrid, City and Chelsea in the past?

 

Agreed, however, I do worry that, unlike Barca and RM who would take on a player like Martial and develop them into long-term first team players, global superstars, our young stars will give us their services until the end of their initial contract and then bugger off to Spain .....................
