I'm predicting half the forum to be thread banned this summer.

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.

Goodness me, I am too scared to post anything now. Too many things to take into consideration.

There's one or two people at The Sun who do have the odd tip off. Although acknowledged they have mostly crap

It's more the journalist who's written it. If Phil Cadden or Neil Custis posts something in The Sun it's usually decent.

I agree with that. I think some like the Metro, Express and the Star are deservedly blacklisted, but Custis of the Sun is decent enough.

Is the early window opening something that was anticipated? Or did this just happen out of the blue?

So you're perfectly fine when we sold Jaap Stam?

I remember being 11 and reading in a newspaper that we had sold Jaap Stam to Lazio, I was gutted. Made me realise that back then that I wouldn’t know a transfer had been done until it was either in the newspaper or on teletext, good times.

I guess until the action starts this thread will just consist of debates on who is more reliable than who and the terms of TF censorship for summer 18’.

I can't look at him the same after Pogba punked him like a bitch.

This has how I’ve felt about VVD since seeing Martial drop him on his arse in his second game for us. For all of his reputation, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Van Dijk is Martial’s first goal in that game at St.Mary’s.

"Manchester United face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred.
Fred's release clause is understood to be €60million (£52.89m) and Shakhtar are reluctant to budge over their asking price."

It because it shuts on 9th August, and the rules are the window needs to be open for at least 12 weeks
