Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

We don't need inflatable objects to achieve that

 

Does anyone remember the Sky reporter getting the dildo in his face a little while back?

He carried on though almost unmoved. Fair play, top pro!

 

You mean like some of our ex-players.

 

L'equipe reporting that us and schalke only clubs interests in Boufal with schalke not prioritising him as a first choice target. Choice looking like us or staying with His club.

 

I think that's why it is now mostly filmed inside grounds.

 

On twitter this name has come up as someone we are interested in....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Boëtius

 

We've been linked to any player that has 2 legs and is still breathing....at least according to the media.

 

According to Alex Crook, Man Utd are to offer Rojo in exchange for Fonte. Would you take that? We were in pole position to sign him before Man Utd's panic buy of him a couple of seasons ago?

 

Nope. The guy isn't a defender.

 

When do swap deals ever happen?

 

When you try and get some one cheap.

 

Not good enough for United, not good enough for us.

 

Swap deals are usually just made up because of a vague link between one of the players and club. Usual journo bullshit I think

 

If they want to swap, we'll have Mata and Morgan.

 

Can't see Arsen-hole being genuine contenders for Jose's signature, think they are having more of a meltdown than us...!!

If it is going to be United, we know money is I real issue to them, and to be fair, any potential signings for us will not revolve around money received for Jose. United have a bloated squad, and I genuinely think there is the potential to cherry pick a decent player as part of any deal-we may as well get what we can out of it.

Lastly, as Beefy mentioned earlier, I think it's crazy that Jose has kept quiet over all this apart from a couple of pictures on social media. I don't buy the whole head in the clouds thing-before the Euros, he was a model pro to many, and I'm sure at some point someone would tell him to wind his neck in as he is no Ronaldo. He knows he's worshipped by many, many adoring fans and to stay quiet is only fanning the flames on the bridges he is burning.

 

Think people are being a bit over the top regarding Fonte. He's 32, and will be 33 in a few months. He is being mooted for an unexpected opportunity to play for a top club, for a top manager of his own nationality, and perhaps qualify and play in Champions League and challenge for a title. Yeah, that's going to get his attention. No, I don't think we should be angry about it.

 

If he left I would be angry with the club (unless it was a huge offer) as opposed to Fonte. I'd be disappointed he didn't value us as highly as we do him, but if he wants to end his career in the top flight on the bench then so be it.

 

Mostly agree. He was a bit sneaky which is mildly distateful, but is there any other way to engineer a move away other than being sneaky? It's how things go nowadays.

He was, even in my cynical view, still the closest to a legend on the team. But now he's just a guy. I don't hate him and don't wish him any ill. But I'm keen to see him moved for +10m if we can do it.

 

We value him, sure. But, sensibly, we aren't exactly offering him a lifetime contract as a sign of our gratitude, either. He'd be the same player and the same person if he wanted that experience before he retires, for me.

 

Well put Schad, concise summing up of the situation. I could do with a couple of years fat cat salary contract to finish my career, never mind the fame and glory show me the money!
