The beauty of football, you just never know how well he will turn out to be!

So who ended Raiola's career? Is Halaand even still playing or has someone ended his? Who shot JR? It's all so complicated.
Prince Andrew ended Raiola’s career by having an affair with him in Jeffery Goldblum’s house
And Roy Keane hates dinosaurs. He thinks they are wasters and were shit at going extinct. It all makes sense now. Looks like a done deal given all those facts.
It’s easy to understand where you are coming from, however the fact of the matter is that the football elite simply do not conduct their business in such a structured and logical way like most other ‘traditional’ businesses.
When it comes to transfers the big clubs especially operate using a much more fluid and flexible model.
If a player the club deems to be a top talent becomes available, then it doesn’t necessarily matter if the position in question is an urgent priority or not. You do not miss out on ‘generational’ talents just because we have other pressing concerns as we may not have another opportunity to sign them.
A club of our size and stature can work on multiple deals at once (I know it may not seem like it), and we can afford to buy the likes of Haaland and a CM, RW, LB etc, it just may not happen in the order you expect it to.
We are building a team for the future that much is obvious, I personally wouldn’t fixate on which position we sign first as they will all (hopefully) contribute to our success in the years to come, it’s not just about this season.
Until he fell out with Gary Barlow and left
Fergie used to say all the time that you always had to go for “special” talents when they come around. We signed Rooney early because Newcastle were sniffing around and the rest is history. No reason why Haaland couldn’t have the same long term impact. If he’s available then we should try our hardest to get him
..who was being controlled by The Godfather Ken Barlow. Shady business
You know this saga has gone on for too long when you come into, and read, page 132 of this thread. 
Complete lottery buying a lad of his age from a different league. Yes done well in CL but people seem to underestimate the level of expectation when signing for a club of our size irrespective of where we are currently in the league. Even if he signs in Jan, it's unrealistic that we should expect anything from him at this point in the season. Knowing how this forum works, after a few games this side of the season if he doesn't score people will be writing him off anyway.
Cheers pal
Totally agree. We actually only have one current player that could lead the line,1.5 counting Greenwood. Rashford is far from being able to lead it, his best position is out wide.
Thus, we absolutely need a quality striker regardless of age.
I'm writing him off now
Yeah me too, didn't want him anyway, he is rubbish, greenwood, lukaku mk2, umm... Raiola, he is too tall....
Has he actually signed for Juve or just another transfer rumour?
Still rumours at this stage but loudest noises have been coming from Italy during these last couple of days
Rumours only.
Did he burn up his pizzeria?
Glad we did not sign him
Gave his B&B a series of bad reviews online.
We haven’t not signed him yet.
How do you sign someone when the market's not open yet?
All gone very quiet, suspect the reason is that something's been agreed with someone somewhere
I prefer we went after Werner instead. Werner is a United fan as well. Wouldn't need much convincing to come here and he can play on the wings as well.
If the rumors are true this is extremely poor on both Ole and Woodward. Should have been a slam dunk for Ole and the Glazers need to realize the jock strap sniffer is out of his element and we need a DoF.
Both would be ideal. Gives us more options and less Lingard.
Werner def someone I'd like us to bring in.
I know what's going to happen. Ole will come out and say that since Martial, Rashford and Greenwood have been in good form, we didn't think of getting a ST in. We were focusing on strengthening midfield since Mctominay is out injured. Pogba is new signing for us as we've missed him all season. #typicalolebullshit.
Any excuse to dream up a scenario that enables you guys to piss on Ole, huh?
Christ, give it a rest.
Orrrrr it's Christmas?
My thoughts too. Who knows, maybe we just dont think we need him and would rather get a right winger and give Greenwood more chances?. 5 players in attack is about right. Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, James and Sancho?
If this is true, cant people just trust that what we the fans want and what Ole wants is probably 2 different things?
SkyBet have Juve as favourites now. First time I’ve seen us drop as favourites to land him.
This is insane, Juve is going to get him, and Ole could not make it happen? Unbelievable Ole... that one should be yours, what the hell? I am hugely disappointed by this.
He can't force him to join us can he? Ffs
A player with whom you have such a connection? I think you could. I am only disappointed because I think that guy would have listened to Ole.
Don't forget Raiola. Most probably he inserted some clauses that were not acceptable for us like he did with DeLigt release clause.
Just speculating for the time being, but that s how the fat cnut works
What were those clauses? I just don't remember, something to do with releases?
DeLigt apart from.the high salary has a release clause in.his contract. After certain amount of years he can leave if someone pays Juventus a certain fee.
Just because he knows the guy personally doesn't mean anything. He might not fancy where we are right now, he isn't going to suddenly develop a fetish for top 4 battles just because his old boss came calling.
