Transfer Tweets - 2017/18

[Samid]

Muppet season is upon us soon! Copying the rules from the summer thread:

New notice: If people don't adhere to these simple rules, they'll be threadbanned.

DON'T:

• Post anything from clear BS accounts.
• Post anything from clickbait tabloid accounts.
  
• Post anything from aggregator sites (Utdreport etc) who don't link to original source and tend to make stuff up for retweets/follows.
• Use the thread to argue about the players United are linked with compared to those that a club like City are signing. If you want to moan, make a new thread.
• Use the thread to moan about people who are moaning.

Tweets from actual journalists who work for well known media outlets are always best. (Examples - Di Marzio, Mitten, Ogden, Mathieson, Marcotti, Jackson, Ducker etc)

Last year's blacklist still applies and we will add or subtract new accounts to the below list as appropriate.

Be happy to see a few of our poorer defenders leave. Having Darmian and Blind getting time over the outstanding younger defensive players at the club just seems wrong.

I think Blind is a very useful squad player and often puts in good performances.

Darmian is that notch below. I think he is not good enough for United and should probably move on/be moved on.

January is not muppet season.

It makes no sense as to why the tweets feature on this thread (and it’s equivalents) doesn’t run all year round tbh.

I wish we would be able to, but Bayern already has their dirty mittens on him.

 

[haram]

We need reinforcements in midfield, that much is certain.

What kind of player is he? I like his name, therefore the only conclusion I can come to is... sign.

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

Goretzka would be muppetastic.

Matic, Pogba and Goretzka would be a great midfield trio.

Think of Draxler if he was a midfielder. Big, decent pace, very technical for his size, good shot.

Never seen him but this place likes him so...don't sign?

Nothing wrong with Blind. Darmian just cant seem to make it at PL level

Goretzka would be great but in the unlikely circumstance he doesn't go to Bayern he'll probably be heading to Arsenal or Liverpool.

Please be true

Goretzka would be great but in the unlikely circumstance he doesn't go to Bayern he'll probably be heading to Arsenal or Liverpool.

Bayern are stacked in midfield, would make little sense to move there. Arsenal/Liverpool he could break into first XI easily but chances of winning silverware is higher here.

Hope we get him signed, very very well rounded midfielder.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Would be a huge upgrade on the (hopefully) departing Fellaini. Then leaves maybe one other to fill Carrick’s squad place.

Vidal has had his drink/disciplinary problems though don't know whether they've been resolved now. You're right, they do seem to be sorted.

Definitely got a better chance of silverware here but feel the 'behind the scenes' recruitment Arsenal has had could work in their favour and the Kllopp factor for Liverpool.

I just don't see the Goretzka links to us as genuine but it would make so, so, so much sense. Getting both Goretzka and Ozil on a free would be an upgrade on Fellaini and Mata/Mkhitaryan. Even if we don't sign Ozil, having Goretzka and Pogba would give us so many goals from midfield and we could concentrate on a signing for the right wing.

Would be a huge upgrade on the (hopefully) departing Fellaini. Then leaves maybe one other to fill Carrick’s squad place.

I think Jose plans on using McTominay for the squad role.

I see we've signed Aliou Traore, formally u17 PSG. Played against wolves for us.

Not seen it mentioned on here.

Is the Full Time Devils Twitter account any decent for sources? They've done it before, they talk about bush cam and intimate its to do with transfers.

They don't mention names as far as I'm aware.

To sign for who? Arsenal? Chelsea are sorted in the midfield department.
