I don't think we will get Dybala or Bruno. Just Maguire, and Lukaku going to Inter.
See though is it? The midfield is weak defensively and two unnatural wingers. I just don’t think it would work.What a bloody squad that would be. I’d be over the moon with that. One can hope. Let’s all pray.
Agreed.I don't think we will get Dybala or Bruno. Just Maguire, and Lukaku going to Inter.
Ole did an interview just a few days ago where he said the club is trying to get 1 or 2 more players and that number can increase if current players leave. 2 before were Maguire+Bruno, and in his own words I can see another being Dybala considering Lukaku would be on his way out as he said.I also seem to remember Solskjaer saying that he wasn't aiming to buy lots of players at the start of this window, and that United were currently only working on 1 or 2 more deals.
Sudden transfer flurries are simply not the way United (and Woodward in particular) do business. This smells like clickbait to me.
If Lukaku leaves, we will get a replacement. 100 % sure.Agreed.
I think it's very unlikely we'll revamp the squad to such an extant at this late stage in the window. It'd undermine a lot of the structural changes Ole has been trying to instill in preseason. It'd also run counter to his desire to have as full a squad as possible playing together from the Perth game.

Agree with a lot except the bolded part. Sudden transfer flurries are exactly the way United (and Woodward in particular) do business. Remember Schneiderlin, Darmian and Schweinsteiger?Agreed.

The timeline wasnt bad, we knew it would happen probably, but he said it a few days ago, not like 2 weeks ago. If the deal was done on deadline day, then that would be another thing. He obviously had more information than only knowing this would be done at some point. The amount of things he gets right from every league is astonishing, seeing as he reports stuff from initial interest/contacts to done dealsDon't feel like giving him much credit for this one, I think we all knew we'd get it done eventually.
Think he got played on that one by his contacts/Bruno agent. I doubt Bruno looks like a goer at this point. Dybala seems our priority and then Bruno wont be coming IMO. Would be an overkill with Pogba and them two. I would rather a DM with legs if we go for a midfielder, like Partey.Bruno next according to him isn’t it?
Agreed. We’re not signing a Dm this window though I feel.Think he got played on that one by his contacts/Bruno agent. I doubt Bruno looks like a goer at this point.

Mandzukic. But he didn’t break that story.Everyone is saying he has claimed 4 deals.
Maguire
Bruno
Dybala
What’s the 4th?
Lukaku?Everyone is saying he has claimed 4 deals.

We did sign 16 yrs old Mejbri from Monaco for around 10m few days ago, not sure if this count though.Everyone is saying he has claimed 4 deals.
Maguire
Bruno
Dybala

Di Marzio reminds me of his fellow Sky reporters Kaveh Solhekol and Jim White. He reads the news and once multiple sources report a story, he reports it as his.
He has claimed we are close to 3 deals. He hasn't said definitely sill sign all three. WeveW nearly completed one of them.Everyone is saying he has claimed 4 deals.
Maguire

I'm sure Indykayla, the Daily Star, the Metro, and the Express have also said the deal was done weeks ago. Can we upgrade them to tier 1 now? Ian Mcgarry, a known bullshitter, reported the deal was done like a month ago!
None of the credible sources put their necks on the line for the Maguire deal. Someone with no credibility can say anything without any reprecussions so they don't count.I'm sure Indykayla, the Daily Star, the Metro, and the Express have also said the deal was done weeks ago.

Everyone knew Maguire was a matter of when.
Di Marzio does get briefed by Italian clubs, I'm not saying he's a bullshitter, but he's definitely not as reliable as he's made out to be, especially when he tries to get a few more clicks by reporting on non-Italian clubs/players. Even when he reports on Italian football, most of his stories are rehashing of what Italian papers are saying. And worst of all, he tries to come up with a big story every now and then and ends up humiliating himself with stories like "Benzema to Milan (last summer)", "Modric is considering his future with Madrid", "Brune Fernandes to United is close", "Milan have agreed to pay 50m for Angel Correa" to name a few.
Feel free to tag me when we sign Bruno Fernandes, that's the real test.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A FERNANDES DEALDybala deal will kill the Fernandes deal. Hard to accommodate both really.
I expect us t try for a more defensive CM before end of window.
Potential Fernandes deal then.THERE'S NEVER BEEN A FERNANDES DEAL
The club isn't interested in Fernandes.Potential Fernandes deal then.
No need to shout
What makes you say that?The club isn't interested in Fernandes.
The multiple English journalists who have said so, such as Simon Stone. They've said a couple a times now United are getting annoyed with their name being used for the likes of Bruno and Pepe.What makes you say that?
The fact that the club has been stating it all summer on tour, we're not interested. It's all coming from the portugese mediaWhat makes you say that?

I haven't heard of Bruno being linked with any other club though.The fact that the club has been stating it all summer on tour, we're not interested. It's all coming from the portugese media
No its a plot by both the player and Sporting to drive an auction for him. He wants to go do bigger things and the club want a huge transfer having just seen Benfica get insane money for Felix. Maybe his preference is United, maybe we're just being used, maybe we've expressed an interest.. nobody knows.I haven't heard of Bruno being linked with any other club though.
Are these rumours a ploy to get him a better contract?
Quite the conspiracy theory you've got going on over there. If true, would be hilarious and rather absurdNo its a plot by both the player and Sporting to drive an auction for him.

Portuguese teams do it every year. It's a standard ploy.Quite the conspiracy theory you've got going on over there. If true, would be hilarious and rather absurd
