Standard echo chamber stuff on Fabinho. One outlet posts something then 50 others repackage to make it look like everyone is publishing it, when its still actually one outlet.

Who's this Jonas Giæver guy?
Sounds Norwegian, but i never heard of him except from transfer tweets.
Norway is a small country (population wise), if we really had an ITK guy when it comes to transfers, I'm sure i would have heard of him.

Think he mostly translates stuff. He never claimed to be ITK.

He's not an ITK nor claims to be. Simply knows many languages so translates foreign articles to English or the gist of it. Think he's connected with Sports Witness team

Hopefully that hash guy is right, could turn out to be a very good window if we get Fabinho and Morata

It smells like bullshit. Juve have been closely linked with him for a few days. Looks like an article to get Juve in gear.

Pilib de Brun said on his podcast a couple of weeks ago that Perisic was the 'Europa League target' (the player we'd identified as a backup to our first-choice target, and that we'd be confident if securing, even in the event that we failed to qualify for the Champions League). He went on to say that United have concerns about his pace, but that he understood our first-choice target is unobtainable.
Not that I believe him but if the likes of Perisic were at the top of our transfer targets then we are in trouble. Fair enough if our original target is unattainable.

A bellend for being loyal. Cool.
He wasn't loyàl. He wanted to leave and was pretty open publicly about it.

He apparently stayed because Atletico laid on the "please stay, we're so helpless" crap. Then they go and sign Costa for 6 months time.

He's basically the girl who got guilt tripped into staying with a guy well below her league, then the guy goes on to shag her best friend anyway

Acquire Me's ITK source is Norwegian!

Perhaps, but he signs new deals regularly, and long ones too. For him to be thinking about going on strike so soon after signing a deal is ridiculous, especially as there have been rumours of Real and Barca interest for years anyway. It all indicates he hasn't thought past the next couple of months or so when signing.
He kept signing long term contracts because he was happy and didn't want to leave. It's only after the 6-1 that he decided to leave

As for strikes, he hasn't gone on strike yet, it's mostly media speculation at this point, not particularly believable either. He's not in a position to do that

And agree on the agent. I doubt he'll last long if he doesn't get Verratti his move this summer.
Nah, they're close friends, Verratti won't change his agent anytime soon, not for this

This is the one signing I want most. I don't care which striker we get really, but Fabinho is the perfect midfielder for us.
Even if we don't get Fabinho, getting a top DM-oriented midfielder should be a big priority, as it would allow the likes of Pogba and Herrera more license to lean forward a bit more.

He's a Norwegian sports journalist, working with Tv2, VG, Nettavisen, Viasat etc.
He's not ITK, nor does he claim that. But he's usually precise and up to date with dealings in Italy, Spain, Portugal etc. The guy he's asking is simply a Juve aficionado, who's fairly down to earth and updated on the Italian press and journalists. Whether or not to believe the tweet is up to you, but at least he provides us with information written elsewhere, and actually makes an effort to figure out whether the source is considered reliable or not (unless 95% of other journos it seems) :) .

I agree. Pogba is capable of scoring 10+ goals and 10+ assists a season, he just needs to be set free. Herrera likewise, if slightly less.

Wonder who the first choice was then?

Can we stop posting replies of David Amoyal which provides no information as tweets here? It has become annoying now.

Just waiting for the UK journalists to report that they have spoken to Utd and we have confirmed that we have no interest in him.

This. Also, it seems that Amoyal is more of a translator for Di Marzio, so Di Marzio will update first before we get the English version from Amoyal.
