We are becoming a laughing stock with our pursuit of unattainable players. Not even entertaining this one, better chance of Ronaldo coming back for 80m... Quick someone start the thread.

You do realize that this phrase "we are becoming laughing stock" is quite bothering for some of us. @CLARiiON will describe in detail all about that

Although we know most of the rumours are basically BS. I thought LVG should handle it better, its not entirely wrong to keep his mouth shut regards to questions about transfer, but he actually should eliminate any unnecessary rumours for the sake of our image.

I would like LvG to compile a list of all the players that we were linked with and then completely shoot the papers down in one press conference.

If Woody doesn't managed to sign him, then it is time for #woodyOUT. He doesn't accomplished anything at all during these few years. Where is that 'plane guy?

I think we'll complete the signing this week and keep quiet about it and register him quietly only for Neymar to line up in the tunnel at the Swansea game. The entire Swansea team would rush back into the dressing room to take a shit at the sudden and unexpected sight of him.

Haha, or perhaps we'll line up with 10 players, everyone puzzled on what's going on, almost about to kick off and the whole stadium waiting for the last player to come out, thinking where the f*ck is that little shit from Belgium or whatever.. and then the lights go out and in complete darkness undertaker's music starts playing with Woody slowly escorting Neymar out of the tunnel. People rise on their feet and scream and cheer in joy at the sight of their saviour. A hundred thousand dancers flood the field to celebrate the occasion out of nowhere. Jubilation, for the hero has arrived. Backstage shots of Mourinho with his hands on his head, not being able to believe what just happened. Not the hero the muppets deserve, but the one they need, The Samba Peacock.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if we've made inquiries to get Neymar. But I wish we'd invest more time into players that we're actually likely to sign. I mean, Neymar. Sure Woodward, sure.

This whole concept is a farce, if there was a 1 in 1000 chance that they'd sell him, the sale of Pedro makes it impossible

Why would anyone at the club bother spending any time even thinking about this rubbish?
To discredit the papers running with it. That way even when they catch a whiff of who we're planning on buying they won't even consider running with it.

The more we let shit slide the more ridiculous the headlines get the bigger laughing stock in the eyes of the world we become.

People at the club probably have a good chuckle at those who think we're seen as a laughing stock because of tabloid rumours.

This is pathetic. They're taking the piss now.

Write story about Neymar being open to a move. Write story about Man Utd never getting their targets. Write story about Messi being open to a move.

It is funny timing how this story broke after we missed out on Pedro.. Like we pulled out because we have neymar to fry

Anyway it's all a smokescreen to buy Suarez

The problem is LVG never speaks out and denies the rumours and sits on the fence when asked about these silly rumours, this gives the media a free licence to write anything without any accountability. It's obvious we won't be signing Neymar why doesn't LVG just say it.

Neymar links emerged after our game so he couldn't have denied it in the presser on Friday nor he should deny every rumour cause there are tons of it. Maybe he will say something in the presser before Brugges game.

Laugh all you want, but a Portuguese translator is on short term contract with the medical team. Exam rooms being prepped.

Don't ban me for ITK; you'll see I'm full of it.

I'm struggling to see why Neymar would want to leave Barcelona to join us. Going by the number of pages this thread has got so far I'm guessing most caf users are thinking the same.

Oh I would have a good chuckle too reading stuff I know for certain not to be true, but most people, our own fans included will take tabloid stuff at face value and others will at least think if there's smoke... I bet you they'll be running massive follow up stories about how we failed to land him when the window shuts.

It would not cost anything for the PR team to nip these kind of sensationalisms in the bud so journos will think twice about using our name in vain!

Problem is though if we nip all the rumours in the bud to start with then it narrows the pond. Thus the media starting naming loads of different players and we refute the claims and only leaving a few players left to get. Kind of like playing the board game guess who, thin the herd and then we only have a few targets who are attainable and willing to join.

Not quite the same being linked with Gaitan, Otamendi, Mane and the likes, and Neymar and even Ronaldo at this point.
