Transfer Rumours The 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

So Utd leak false info out that they have bid for Mane. Just because they lost out on Pedro? Or they are after some one else and hiding it. Sad really.

 

Think you are both right. Bringing in players cheap, then selling them for big profits and somehow finding the next great player for cheap is probably the only chance you have.

But it's not a great chance; it's almost impossible. Which is why you don't see clubs like Southampton breaking into the top 6 very often.

Lovely meltdown on the Echo site as well:

Partially my fault, I had been guilty of teasing big time on there, trouble is that some people take me seriously and I have gained a few stalkers who see my sign on and instantly hit the thumbs down button, quite amusing but all rather silly.

 

That's bollocks. Show me the money and I'm off... Oh, wait.... Sorry. Wrong fella.

Ps, anything happen in the last couple of hours since I went out. Nobody panicking yet I hope

 

Well, since I saw the news, it was clear to me that for us to release Mane, the fee should be astronomical, one where where everybody had to admit that 'we had to sell him for that much'. And I highly doubt United would offer that much, even in this crazy market.

 

And there is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

(Some of) you can't handle the truth...

 

We've sold everyone and bought Dagenham & Redbridge.

 

"The invention of the disgruntled civil servant was actually the invention of a disgruntled civil servant"

 

We'll never cope without Lovren

Or Lallana

Or Shaw

Or Rickie

Or Pochettino

Or .... Oh wait.

We love you Les!

 

Does your name begin with an "O" by any chance?

 

Well we've not got Rickie Lambert any more .... Bollocks, Poyet was right after all. Does he want a job?

 

I think that the board of SFC must think their fan base is composed solely of headless chickens. Once they would have ignored speculation, but now they come out quickly to hose the fans down before we hit critical.

On a side issue, Sky did a statistical comparison of Pedro and Mane. The conclusion: Pedro is a better finisher than Mane, but Mane was better for most other factors. Just got to work on that finishing.

 

Such a twattish move if true. Hopefully doesn't effect Sadio's head too much.

Never mind, another pantomime villain - who we got now? Liverpool, Spurs and United. Racking them up!

 

Me too - he has a definite x factor that the puts him for me a cut above eg. Bolasie. He's unpredictable to the point where he can miss an open goal from six yards out, and score the fastest ever PL hat trick. Without him, our team becomes a little more ordinary at this point in time. He is vital to our chances in Europe, and gives us an extra dimension that we don't have without him. I want him for another season, so I really hope he doesn't go.

But regardless, I support the finest business model in the world, and will continue to support that business model no matter who comes in and out its doors.

 

Me neither.

Not so much anymore, I'm afraid. We'll be lucky to get a year with the ones of that standard.
That's really what most winds me up about a lot of this - a club deserves two seasons minimum for taking a chance on a player, and any human being with any moral fibre in their being should knuckle down for us for that long before getting seduced by the sirens softly singing YNWA. Even if it is funny to watch them get dashed on the rocks straight after.

 

If we have had no bid, then why does the BBC have a headline about us admitting Man U have bid for him?

I bloody hate the Beeb.

 

Yeah I just clocked that. Nonsense.

 

It's another excuse to be pro-United.

 

May have had an enquiry without a formal bid. Didn't we say that we had had no offer for Morgan shortly before he left.
