He's been at Utd 3 years and one ruined by a horrible injury. Not that he hasn't been a disappointment but there's no need for the gross exaggeration.
Ah yes, my apologies, thought he joined when Moyes did for some reason.

Rose yea unlikely at this point. But Aurier you guys are completely off lol.


Paris United are as credible of a source there is when it comes to PSG transfers. They've made it clear Aurier and United have come to an agreement (at only £25M...the best value we'll ever see tbh) but the move is dependant on Aurier's case. If it gets cleared, you can begin writing this move in stone. Aurier himself follows Paris United.

...the only thing preventing Aurier joining United is his case. Not for that, he'd be on the squad as we speak. "Shame it won't happen", no not at all. He's a cleared case away from being ours.
You sound pretty confident he'll get cleared in the trial, I don't think he will, which is where my negativity spouts from.

Wouldn't mind having him (and Aurier). That would transform United into a more active, more energetic build-up (unless they got Mourinho-ed). During the pre-season, the build-ups were pretty slow at times, even though United have the personnel. I just hope it is due to United being a relatively new team. Even MSN of Barca got into a slow start, once upon a time ago now.

The interview is obviously by a spurs player as they imply they've never won a trophy.

Do we? Our only fullback who looks capable of getting forward is Valencia. Darmian is a specialist defender, Young is Young, Shaw is seemingly never available and Blind is slow as feck.

“I will say this too — I will play up north. I don’t know exactly when, but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere.

“I moved away from home (from Leeds to Spurs) at 16.

“Yes I’ve got team-mates who have moved away from families in South Korea and Argentina, but I have been away for over ten years now and I don’t get to see my mum that often.

“I am going to make it my priority before I retire to play football up there.

“My short-term focus is to get back to playing like last year and if I do that the long-term will take care of itself.
Typical Sun making it sound like he's pushing for a transfer when quotes say otherwise.

Walker was sold because Spurs were OK with selling him - we got £50m and have Trippier.

Whether Alderweireld is stalling - or whether instead an agreement has not yet been reached but will be - remains to be seen. In any event his current contract, with an optional extension at the club's discretion, still has 3 years to run, but which time he'll be 31.

Rose signed a new 5 year contract less than 12 months ago. He won't be sold this summer.

So yes, all in all I'd say it's pretty much water off a duck's back. The media - and some fans - get excited about these sorts things, but in the end it will have zero actual effect.
I do love your optimism. Your first RB has been sold, granted for £50m but as has already been shown this season that's about the market rate.

Both Alderwield and Rose have used the media to make their thoughts known. Longevity of contracts mean absolutely nothing these days. Neymar signed a 5 years contract just 6 months ago, Van Dirk is in a similar situation with Southampton. If a player is being quoted about a club's ambition surely that's a worry.

@GlastonSpur remember that time I told you that Spurs players will look at Lingard's £100k and start getting itchy feet and you were like "nah mate, they love the club and don't want money and love poch and believe in building something together and money isn't an issue COYS". Yeah good times, man.
To be fair to Glaston i think he is just an eternal optimist or deluded one of the two anyway. I seem to remember him saying theres no chance Bale will leave Spurs he loves the club, says ''we'' all the time and has bought into the AVB project. Two weeks later he was at the Bernabeu signing for Real.

Still that AVB project went well.

Oh I see, in which case fair enough.

The way I see it, José and United know something the rest of us don't if they already have an agreement in place and are just waiting on the case. If I had to guess, we'll be directing Serge to some of the best lawyers to win his trial :p

But everything you have mentioned was achieved before he broke his leg, this is now two years ago and we are still sat here saying 'well when he's fit he will reach his heights'. I've heard it all before with Jones, Wilshere, The Ox, Sturridge. Fact is they are never fit.
What about the likes of Valencia, Larsson or Van Perise? they all came back from bad injury problems and went on to become far better players.

The lady doth protest too much.

Your starting LB in the press criticising the club and angling for an exit is not a good look. Especially so soon after selling your starting RB.

You might hold onto him against his will. But it hardly paints a picture of a happy camp where players are going to be content to remain being underpaid and feeling like they're being held back from a successful career.
No-one forced Rose to sign a new, 5 year contract less than 12 months ago. If he wants to go now - and actually he doesn't say that he does - then he should have thought about that before putting pen to paper. He can't have it every which way ...and with Levy he won't.

That means nothing though. Mbappe is probably superior to Ronaldo at 18, yet I'd be extremely surprised to see him become half the player. This isn't a year or two for Shaw. He's been here nearly half a decade and has regressed, if anything. Like I said, I hope he turns it around, but I don't see it. Regardless, this season is probably his last chance.\

We need to stop feeling sorry for these players and start expecting them to perform. We are a global franchise that needs to be competing at the top end, not a babysitting service.
Is a decade 6 years now?

There's no indication we're interested in him? Also, he says he's in awe of a PL rivals signings? I'd suggest it's City, as they still need one more LB. rose fits the bill.
Which of City's signings would you say were awe inspiring? Matic and Lukaku are two HUGE domestic transfers, perhaps he's referring to them?

But all those players you mention had already achieved something before they got injured. Shaw hasn't, he was a promising young player.

Look I like Shaw and was over the moon when we bought him. The injury he got was awful and I hoped he would come back. Valencia took a good few years to get over his. I'm not sure Shaw will.

IIRC Valencia came back and was instantly incredible.

He was in the PL team of the year and regarded as one of the best full backs in the league when we signed him. How is that not achieving anything.

They do to Levy. I can't speak for other clubs.

I'll agree that Rose's comments are not helpful, but then nor are they helpful to the player, as he'll discover when he sees Pochettino tomorrow morning.

But I got a lot of stick before Mauricio came to the club. I’ll never forget some of the things they were saying about me.



That bit is interesting

Sorry but isn't true.
Yes it is? He came back from his leg break and looked like he never left. Absolutely destroyed Liverpool just after regaining fitness. His drop in form was later.

He won the Player of the Season and Player's Player of the Season the year he came back from injury. He was brilliant that season. You're wrong.

The usual retort, which ignores the point made, as it usually does .... yawn.
Dude, if you make a sloppy joke about a mirage and someone flips it on you... You can't really flip it back with 'Yawn'

If you don't want folks to use the standard response, quit with daft analogies.

Is it so hard to just harden up and have a level headed view? "I hope that Rose stays and he deserves to be paid to facilitate that". You don't have to defend every single aspect of the club. Rose has maybe 3-5 years left at the absolute top. Anything more is a bonus. You can't expect the best left back in the league to be happy at earning half of what he could, at the same time he ends up with an empty trophy cabinet.

We can't stop here. This is bat country.

He would've signed that deal to increase his salary from whatever paltry level it was before.

The contract is there to protect both parties. The player gets a salary bump and the club don't lose a player too cheaply.

It doesn't tend to be about holding players against their will unless a club are particularly vindictive and want to give off an even worse impression to other players who have itchy feet.

Good luck getting Alderweireld on a long term deal if he sees Rose being held against his will.
