That would make sense in 2008, alot less in 2016.

We are Man United alright, and we are miles behind Real, Barca and Bayern aswell, that is a fact, I don't like it anymore than you do but I'am not in denial of reality.

Name me 1 player we tussled with over Madrid, Barca or Bayern and actually won ? DDG doesn't count, Madrid dithered till the last second and Dave was already on the plane if the fax machine didn't break.

It is a fecking reality top players like Pogba prefer Bayern, Real and Barca over us now. That will continue until we actually get back to winning the league and playing CL finals again instead of celebrating the second coming of Jesus because we beat Palace in an Fa-cup final.

Yea, we are Man United, we are also not in the CL for the 2nd year in 3 years and gone from finishing 7th to 4th to 5th. I want to forget the last 3 years because Mou said so, I really do, but I don't think the rest of the world will forget just as easy as that.
Well then lets get back to the top. Club and the fans. We shouldnt have an inferiority complex towards those clubs despite lousy 3 years.
We didnt celebrate 2nd coming of jesus cause we won fa cup. Did we have a trophy tour or something. Title is a title.

Its quite easy: They are the world's most successful ever team.

- Historically, they are more successful and won more silver than we have
- They have had some of the worlds best players since the 1950s
- They pay amazing wages.
- They play in front of 80,000 amazing and very loud fans in an amazing stadium
- Madrid enjoys amazing weather
- Madrid possesses enriching culture
- Madrid has many beautiful women

Nothing for us to be ashamed of, only 1 team can have that status, and our club can't do anything about many of those reasons.
Just came across this. Madrid has many beautiful women. My god.:lol:

That Pilib de brun (or whatever it is) is doing another periscope. His original prediction was that it would be done by early next week ish.

Anyone listening?

"We are completely convinced of our market. When we are finished we are balanced. We had no Ibrahimovic, Martial, Fellaini, Schneiderlin – lots of them aren’t here yet. The market is open until 31 August and sometimes things happen that you aren’t expecting and you must react. Our fundamental market is 75% done and when we sign one midfield player, that will be done."

Clearly distinguishing between fundamental and the 'other' market, nothing to do with Pogba / Real.
It's the same as what he said in that press conference a while ago, he had four priority targets and once those are signed he will consider other players who aren't as important right now. Gabriel Jesus could be one of them, or it could be some other young player that's not going straight into the first team

Where does that come from?
From the listening device I have placed under Pogba's bed. This isn't the right forum to relay the other things that the device picked up. :eek:

Seriously, though, I did only say that I "suspect" Woodward and others are flying to Miami, too...but I wasn't any more serious about that than I was about the yacht-based signing party.

I guess this will be done soon. That quote from mou tells me a team has bid for a player we had earmarked for next year or under the list of talents we have to compete for. That is why he talks about reacting when something happens. Also he might gsve to react if a star suddenly became available. so it my be that like When falcao became available. Hell when jones becamd available we had to React.

100% confident it's done, everything else in the media is just for show to make it seem like they are putting up a fight, no coincidence the #6 shirt was left free, will be completed in the next couple of days, and Utd will want him available for the Community Shield.

Also said there's no other deals anywhere close to being done, but could well be several major exits (Lingard, Rojo, Basti mentioned, amongst others) first.

De Brun has long been established as a bullshitter so why are we relying on his shitty Periscope's?

I feel like it will get done too but that could just mean we're looking for a midfielder.

This was clearly related to the supplemental market buys Jose has mentioned 3 times now, after he saw the shit show from Jones and Rojo he's probably already wondering how quickly he can flog one of them and get in another CB.

I believed in you, I thought that you were spying Miami's airports but you just duped me.:(

Conspiracy theory on the 'its all done' claims

It could be us putting the noises about RM coming in for Pogba and him saying no to counter RM's claims about them being his preferred destination.

Feel free to mock.

What's this guy's track record? Great pinch of salt with his comments or?

I don't think this guy really wants to play for us. He's left once. I'm very uncomfortable about him.
As far as I could tell, even from his interviews after he joined Juve his main problem was with Sir Alex bringing Scholes out of retirement and playing fullbacks ahead of him in midfield.

Hopefully things kick off again later this evening with news that we've settled the 20% agent/player fee and all that remains is the signatures and medical.

I think he's willing to, but part of me thinks Madrid might be his preferred destination if they're in for him. Understandable, too, they're CL champions and will be in the competition next year, plus it's often the pinnacle for many players. Hopefully we can still get him though.

This is simply not true, the internet is full of attention seeking idiots, but this guy is not one of them.

Not saying he is right, but he wouldn't say it if he didn't believe it,

He left because he wanted to play. If we could give him that he would have happily stayed. We didn't give him any promises and he left. He just did what was best for himself.

He's pretty good from what I remember. He has been saying it's close to being for a while, so he's not jumping on any other reports

I agree he isn't a complete attention seeker but he doesn't seem that clued up about it. He was blacklisted on here at one point. I remember him coming out with some absolute rubbish once about a transfer that he really got shown up for, but I can't remember who - it was a good few years ago.

I've just remembered from transfer windows in previous years he was seen as a nobody, and now all of a sudden he is all over this thread. Just seems weird.

Pilib rightly predicted we would be having negotiatians this week and still a lot of people question him.

I don't get it. He's a guy who has had a podcast for a decade and is known to have pretty good contacts. Why not let him do his Periscope and share his thoughts and whatever information he has.
It's the same thing every time anything from Pilib is posted on here

Mhh...You literally said the same sentence yesterday about Di Marzio.

At some point, he had a meltdown about the Glazers, he was claiming that they would never spend money on the team, iirc.

I think the old perception was a bit to do with the fact that he was unknown and based in the US, to where people questioned how he could have any connections. That's obviously irrelevant since geography is a non-issue these days and he does offer some interesting thoughts on his podcast.

It's nothing ground-breaking. Genuine ITK's like Di Marzio have reported this enough to make it seem like a goer. I could just go on Twitter and say ''talks will continue'' because they will. I could even put my kneck out and say ''I expect it to happen'' because it probably will. Doesn't mean I have any information. People fall for this too often. de Brun could just be doing an innocent podcast about United, and giving his take on it that the average Joe on RedCafe has - it will probably happen.

It's so easy to be a pretend ITK on a transfer with so much weight. So many accounts appear genuine just because they don't completely talk shit like Indykalia and put out some ridiculous transfer rumour. Yet, they have as many sources as Indykalia - 0.

I say we listen to the Italian's but even then, the lack of Sky Sports/BBC compliance with the rumours that this is close to being done is worrying. It reminds me of the Vidal and Sneijder sagas.

Pretty sure he was blacklisted for reasons that had nothing to do with transfers. It was people posting his rants about Moyes.

I genuinely fail to see what the issue is here. If he has a few good contacts and wants to share some of his information through his podcast/periscope etc, then what's the issue.
