Christ. Being 'linked' with players means absolutely f*ck all.Why are we constantly being linked with more and more midfielders and no one on the right wing. It's so infuriating!

I suppose you could be right. I know next to nothing about Fekir, but apparently he's really good so it would be infuriating to lose out because we wanted to save 5m. I'm still guessing our doctors found something they didn't like, but we'll see when/if he signs for another club.I don’t think so, there’s a lot of prestige in these negotiations. PSG fecked United off when Kenyon tried to lowball them over Ronaldinho with just one million. The PSG president was so offended that he pulled the plug and offered R10 to Barcelona for slightly less than what United were going to pay, IIRC.
Yeah, I have no clue about him myself!I suppose you could be right.

That's the beauty about transfer season. Getting a hard on over players you've never seen playYeah, I have no clue about him myself!
He has a great name tbh.That's the beauty about transfer season. Getting a hard on over players you've never seen play
Absolutely. If anything, the name alone should be worth the alleged 5mHe has a great name tbh.
Exactly.Absolutely. If anything, the name alone should be worth the alleged 5m

Annoys me still that no one else is really pushing for him. He's better than Liverpool.The interest of #ManchesterUnited for #Fekir is created to push #Liverpool to increase its offer for the player. Fekir still wants to go to Liverpool.Tweet

Oh dear looks like this ITK just foiled Lyons cunning plan...The interest of #ManchesterUnited for #Fekir is created to push #Liverpool to increase its offer for the player. Fekir still wants to go to Liverpool.Tweet

Still, Liverpool get 3 years out of a top talent and make a huge profit when it comes to sell him.Stepping stone.
Beg to differ. It's very rare to sign someone who we're not linked with (probably can only only think of Martial and Falcao in recent times, and that was in the few years after SAF when everything just felt topsy turvy at the club). It is however very common to be linked with a bunch of players that we are not actually interested in or don't end up signing.Christ. Being 'linked' with players means absolutely f*ck all.
I don't think anyone can say that with any certainty. Loic Remy failed twice a medical at Marseille and the Liverpool at various points of his career due to a heart disease, it still never prevented him from being signed by other teams. I supposed it's a matter of whether the club wants to take a riskCan't see us being in for a player who's just failed a medical. clearly there's more surgery required there.
Fekir Liverpool has a certain ring to it. We should buy shirts.The interest of #ManchesterUnited for #Fekir is created to push #Liverpool to increase its offer for the player. Fekir still wants to go to Liverpool.Tweet

I don't watch much of him but when I have I have been very impressed - what's happened to make him rubbish?He’s shite
I don't know, he has been average this season.I don't watch much of him but when I have I have been very impressed - what's happened to make him rubbish?
@JPRouve - what's your view on him too?
Or his injury problems were why Liverpool pulled out and he's lost a step or two?Guess he's seen how well Liverpool have done and is disappointed.
If reports are accurate they didn't pull out, they tried to renegotiate the fee, If I thought that a players was a big liability from a fitness standpoint I wouldn't spend the amount that they were allegedly trying to negotiate. I could be wrong but to me, he just wasn't in it this season from a mental standpoint, iirc there were dressing room issues this season and Fékir wasn't pleased with his teammates.Or his injury problems were why Liverpool pulled out and he's lost a step or two?

Yes, appreciate your input. Still a bloody brilliant deal for 30mAs I said in the other thread, that was an exaggeration to show they’re now the ones in poor negotiating position.
