Sky has seriously turned shit. Its like they're managed by Howard Nurse.
I bet if we put our collective minds together we could actually find out who there so called sources are and where there bs originates from- must be some trend between twitter, other news agencies everytime there is a rumour . Bunch of jokers.

Vardy is tried/tested in the EPL and he can do a "job" for us as a back-up striker. He won't demand first team football or expect to be the star striker.
I prefer Ibra, though his lack of pace is the only thing that puts me off.
If people want entertaining football, Ibra will definitely provide that. No doubt about that.
You have strange imagination.

I guess the Falcao and latter day RVP experiences make everyone skeptical, his technique and strength should be a great help and he offers a legitimate goal threat from well, anywhere. I enjoyed Larsson's spell here and I think Ibrahimovic can at least contribute 15-20 goals, he at least offers us a proper focal point up top who can actually control a ball and won't get bullied off it like Rashford. If we can get a class winger on the right, he could be a heck of signing.

Ibra on friday to be unveiled along with #9 and Martial getting 7 (seems to be very believable and something we would do even if I don't really agree with it). Mourinho tomorrow probably.

We all love United
Sky sources are usually the opposite of the truth, so it's good news

Also he is calling his own press conference? When did a player ever do that, or is he doing on behalf of Sweden for the euros as captain?

Also on Ibrahimovic.. Not sure how people can actively not want him in when he scored 50 goals in all comps this season, while we as a team scored 49 in the league :lol: And he's on a free. At the very worst he'll be a huge help for the development of Rashford and Martial and give us a physical presence up top. He will most likely come in and be up there with Aguero as the best player in the league and have a huge impact for us.

Mourinho tomorrow and ibra Friday would be fine by me. I really hope martial keeps 9 I think it suits him. Or if he loses it give him 11

That's not true. They do have proper sources. But lately when theytget obsessed with a story theyl give updates which are sugar-coated non stories such as the one re. Mourinho now.

I would just give Ibra a 7 or 11. Martial should stay as the 9 unless he himself requests the change... Changing his number for a new signing isn't right because he's our best player and will likely remain our more important player next season because of how good he is.

Sky sources we close to signing Benatia and Gundogan. Mourinho won't be our manager.

They used to be good a few years ago. Now they like the rest of the tabloids.

Think it's more likely Ibrahimovic will be the one announcing Jose ;)

From his book about Jose:

"That guy says whatever he wants. I like him. He's the leader of his army. But he cares, too. He would text me all the time at Inter, wondering how I was doing. He's the exact opposite of Pep Guardiola. If Mourinho lights up a room, Guardiola draws the curtains. Mourinho would become a guy I was basically willing to die for."

Nonsense, they also have Football manager and PES as sources.

Yeah agreed mate. I have a bet on with my mate that martial gets pfa player of the year. Although ibra might come close!

Ruud Van Nistelrooy did it when he signed for us the first time, before he even had a medical. Then his knee exploded and the deal was cancelled (but resurrected a year later) :eek:

As a Norwegian living in Sweden, i know everything about Sweden.
The main thing people outside of Sweden seems to be talking about is A-HA. Who is actually Norwegians.
I think most people know A-ha weren't swedish.

The Cardigans though loads of people are always under the impression they are Danish.

If they both happen, Mourinho will be announced probably Friday and I think Ibrahimovic will have a new club (whoever it is) confirmed by June 3rd

He really dislikes Pep.

Don't think it's been done before but if there's anyone who could pull it off, it's Zalatan.

Has there ever been a player who's scored as many crazy goals as this guy? It all kicks off from 2:10 onwards, everything from acrobats to some of the fastest shots I've ever seen.
Holy shit, don't think I've ever seen a ball travel that quick and some ridiculous goals, can't wait :drool:

With Mourinho set to be confirmed as our manager, and Zlatan available on a free transfer I can't see any reason why he would not come to us if his relationship with Mourinho is as strong as he's making out.

You'd think he'd jump at the chance. I don't doubt that he'd probably make more in China and possibly be able to play for longer but I think he would relish the opportunity to come and play in such a big league for such a massive team. It's not as if we're going to be paying him a pittance either.

I expect that an announcement that we've agreed terms will follow on quite quickly from an announcement regarding Mourinho. I'm sure Ibrahimovic has said in the past week or so that he already knows where he's going so you'd think if it was anywhere other than United it would have been announced already.

Fever Ray is probably my favourite Swedish band while we are on the subject. Have a lot of time for The Knife, Karin Dreijer Andersson's original band, as well.
Can't beat a bit of Opeth, Candlemass or Katatonia either :drool:

I actually think we'll milk the Mourinho appointment for all its worth and then just as the frenzy starts dying down we'll announce Ibra if we are signing him. The club will want to prolongue the hype for as long as possible.

Guessed. Think his future will be resolved no later than a week before the Euros. I don't think he's as close to signing for anybody as others think (ie a day or two)

When do you think?
Yeah fair call. It will definitely be before Euros. I'm gonna be optimistic and say we sign him Friday. I'm not a very patient guy

Apparently he always has his own press conferences when on International duty, it's just how big he is in Sweden.

"Close" doesn't necessarily mean "soon". I think he's very close to signing for us, I think the time span is irrelevant and subject to other factors.

Last season was like a Candlemass song.

Oh Fergie please forgive us
Forgive us all our sins
Please bring your light
Again to lead our way
But my prayers are not answered
They fade out to die
And so does the last gleam of hope

The morning will come no more
Our dreams are all gone
Midnight has come to stay
Darkness has fallen in paradise
