Is it me or tweets this year skipped couple of phases? There is no more "preparing bid", "strongly interested" etc...
It is straight to "holding talks".

Because preparing bid and strongly interested are code words for "this is made up but we think they're interested and we need to sell our stories"

Not to take this too far, i agree Rashford has played his share of games this season, but. Whoscored actually has him listed for 56 games including Internationals(2) and Club friendlies(4). However, an awful lot of them has been as substitute(23). If you count the minutes(2155), he's played just under 24 full games... And that would be including those friendlies and international games. The "51 games" are not as impressive as it initially sounds.
That being said, he's 11th among the players for minutes in the league and 9th for minutes in he CL, so he's obviously playing an important part.
I'm happy with this, too easy to burn young players out making them start 50 games a season.

Enrique to Chelsea, Arteta to Arsenal....when will we ever get to see good football at United :(
What does Arteta have to do with the following statement. We have absolutely no idea what Arsenal's football would be like next year.

Will end up being another Martinez scenario, for me, but without the 70+ point finish first season.
It will be entertaining for the fans at least and if they ever find themselves in trouble there'll likely always be a relegation specialist around who can drag them from the brink again.

Pep is doing business while we're preparing a bid. City is Already leading 1:0 in transfers.
Thats not what he is saying. Jorginho fits City like a glove, Alex Sandro will fit us perfectly too though.

Thats a kick in the teeth for Liverpool.
I imagine we'll go for Neves now although I'm not sure. Our targets seem to change constantly, last year before the season ended it was Brandt which changed to Martin's to Salah. This year it's gone from Jorginho to Fekir and Dembele. Not a clue what's going on mostly.

I'm not convinced by SMS but I think we should go for Jorginho and Fred to complete 3 midfield of Pogba and Fred as 8, Jorginho as 6 so it would be more balanced midfield, would be enough to supply passing ranges to attack from deep.

In January the majority wanted Fred when we were linked to Jorginho. How typical of the Caf.
Meanwhile, everyone is world class before linking us with them and they went from world class to average at best, not physical enough, injury prone, pensioners.

I'm not one who watch twitter to find rumours, but i saw that one on facebook, together with one linking them to Buffon, and found them amuzing.
Peak Yaya would be great for their midfield, though, but he doesn't exist.

smart signing if he can keep his fitness levels up. The rest of the players have enough energy to make up for his languid style. If his passing game is still as good as it was under Pelligrini then Liverpool will benefit a lot from signing him as a deep lying player.

They also have a Toure song so it won't tax their brains too much.
