Personally, I would go to crouching pigeon miffed moth.

Who Morata?"The Italian will liaise with the club's scouts across the globe, as chief co-ordinator" - everyone's at it!
No official confirmation so far.How sad is it that I find this a partial relief at the lack of signings thus far. Lol is this even official can't see it on the official site?
Find us a Del Piero regen you cnut.
Ed Woodward: "hey Ribalta, welcome to Manchester United"No official confirmation so far.
True that here's our second signing of this summer.
Ribalta from Juventus, he'll play as the scouting manager.
Find us a Del Piero regen you cnut.
Will he get the number 7 shirt?

It was Tor-Kristian Karlsen (previously a scout and sporting director) saying that this is a coup for United.Tweet not showing.
Thank you.It was Tor-Kristian Karlsen (previously a scout and sporting director) saying that this is a coup for United.
I expect him to do so. Unless he has some sort of a gardening leave clause in his contract with Juve. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen in football though.Hopefully he starts straight away and will he be able to have a positive affect on our dealings this summer.
Having a fellow countryman in the club hierarchy will give us an edge.Him being Italian should go a long way towards securing Morata.
Huh? Morata is SpanishHaving a fellow countryman in the club hierarchy will give us an edge.
Lets hope he gets hold of Jose's list and writes 'Fabinho' at the top, in big feck off black marker. And scribbles a cheeky 'lol' next to Dier's name.I expect him to do so. Unless he has some sort of a gardening leave clause in his contract with Juve. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen in football though.
Ribalta's interview with WoodwardEd Woodward: "hey Ribalta, welcome to Manchester United"
Ribalta: "Thank you, Mr Woodward"
Ed Woodward: "Please call me Ed"
Ribalta: "Thank you, Ed, I am very grateful for the opportu...."
Ed Woodward: "Yeah, yeah you have 1 week to get Ronaldo, Morata, Dybala, Fabinho, Mendy & Dybala signed up and in a red fecking shirt before July"
Ribalta: "Mama Mia!"
So is Ribalta.Huh? Morata is Spanish
Top effort.Ribalta's interview with Woodward
Woodward skimming through his CV
Woodward: So you know the Italian league well. Good. I know that league very well!
Ribalta: Good
Woodward: Have you ever heard of Zidane then?
Ribalta: Yes of course. He was a great player
Woodward: good good, I was interested in him you know. Unfortunately I got a text from Howard Nurse who just informed me that he just moved to Real....anyway, Ronaldo have you ever heard of him?
Ribalta: Which Ronaldo? The Brazilian one or the Portuguese one?
Woodward: Good good, that's a tricky question. I never expected you to answer that. What about Messi? Is he good? Does he justify that FMs 20 rating in dribbling?
Ribalta: Erm I don't play football manager but yes he's good
Suddenly Woodward moves creeply close at him
Woodward: Tell me is Morata truly good? I spent 30m on some big guy with funny hair one and everyone laughed at me because of it.
Ribalta: Morata is an excellent player!
Woodward: Do you like me Ribalta? Will you be honest with me? Cause....I don't know football very much and
Ribalta: Don't worry Mr Woodward. I will always make you look good.
Woodward: You're hired.
Unlikely to tell us to walk away from signing a player who would be one of the best wingers in the league.I hope he takes a look at the potential deals for Perisic and tells the club to walk away.
I don't think we had one. Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I think we had regional scouts.Out of interest, who was our scouting manager before this bloke? Did we even have one?
thanksTop effort.
I know we've always had a head scout but am guessing this might slightly different? Hopefully a first step towards creating a DoF role at the club.I don't think we had one. Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I think we had regional scouts.
Yep. Hopefully a transition towards a DoF. Wouldn't make sense going there right away.I know we've always had a head scout but am guessing this might slightly different? Hopefully a first step towards creating a DoF role at the club.
The guy you replied to said that Ribalta is Italian, hence my confusion...So is Ribalta.
This 'joke' has a long history. If you've nothing better to do for the next hour, you can find it in the Morata thread.The guy you replied to said that Ribalta is Italian, hence my confusion...
Yes, yes, foreign is best. It won't be long before Doris the tea lady is replaced by juanita the espresso senorita. That will be a great day. British is shite.
Ray Wilkins is on the Caf?Yes, yes, foreign is best. It won't be long before Doris the tea lady is replaced by juanita the espresso senorita. That will be a great day. British is shite.
Nor the guy who said we are in for neymar the other dayWhat I'll say is this. I've never seen @Acquire Me and Javier Ribalta in the same room together. Have you?
Hm, no thank you.This 'joke' has a long history. If you've nothing better to do for the next hour, you can find it in the Morata thread.
