Transfer Tweets - 2018/19 | Remember if posting foreign language tweets to post in English too

[Art Vandelay]

Every time I see there's new transfer tweets I get a renewed sense of hope, only for it to be dashed. They don't even seem to be making shit up, which is just plain odd.

I wish we were in for Pjanic, our strength in depth in midfield would be excellent and we'd have serious options.

If Martial went to another club and was brilliant I’d love to see the Mourinho backers try and explain it.

Oh I'm sure.. What about if he leaves and was meh?

 

[Ban]

We won't sell Martial especially since we still haven't signed a winger. We lack numbers and quality upfront anyway.

 

[buck3y3nut]

The Coutinho sale.

Seriously, perhaps they’ve already sold Sandro/ Dyabla for good money and are just spending that money before announcing.

Juventus sold Coutinho?

Im sure he will be good elsewhere. It’s more about how his replacement here does.

Trying to understand why City are linked with so many playmaking midfielders when it's Fernandinho they're trying to phase out. Swapping out Fernandinho for Jorginho (before we bought him) or Pjanic/Kovacic doesn't make sense to me. We've seen what happens when Stones and Otamendi are left exposed and it ain't pretty. So why replace your only defensive minded midfielder with one who isn't?

Not true though is it.. I mean Hazard if you like is the reason why Salah was sold and still Jose and Chelsea get belters for it.

I mean, in my eyes anyway. I think a Martial replacement would be a different type of player, and so how that player fits and affects the team is what I would be interested in. Everyone knows Martial is talented.

No just a joke going around that any excuse for Liverpool’s spending is the Coutinho money. So I extended the joke to anyone’s spending is spending the Coutinho money.

So why replace your only defensive minded midfielder with one who isn't?

Because a Cdm cum Playmaker dictates the game from the back with the ball and can pick those attacking passes to the forwards running in behind the defense with ease thus increasing attacking Ruthlessness and creativity on the ball. If you notice Fernandinho too has got very good passing range and picks those passes from time to time. So it makes it very difficult for the opposition to press so high on the player dictating the game from Cdm thus the team circulates and keeps the ball way better with playmakers all round the midfield.

While when they loose the ball the attacking midfielders and forwards collectively press the ball along with the Cdm which reduces the transition speed and stifles creativity of the opposition teams so the Cdm alone does not have the duties to break up the play as they do it collectively by closing the ball and space down as quickly as they can and Cdm 's passing range immediately can turn defense into attack after winning the ball back.

Thus when you have so much of the ball a player who can dictate the game and pick passes adds another dimension to the attacking football.

If they loose a goal or two they don't mind as they believe they could outscore the opposition and keep the ball from the opposition for majority of the game.

Every time I look at pages in this thread it’s full of mindless drivel and no actual tweets... getting really tiresome.

If only there was a solution to that problem.

Not sure if it has been mentioned in here in the past few pages so apologies!

Chelsea interested in Martial according to their sources..

100% Martial / Willian + Cash transfer going to happen here. Could see a Willian + 20m being agreed with a week to go before the window shuts.

* Edit just seen mentioned on previous page #Fool.

That's the kind of efficiency we can come to expect from them. It seems as if they're unopposed in terms of competition for his signature. Given the kid's obvious talent it surprises me that we're not all over this.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Bloody hell. James McClean is 29? I thought he was still in that phase of talented player with time on his side if he could sort his head out. 29!

 

[Rajma]

I believe our team is lacking goals/assists because our team lacks the right balance not forwards capable of scoring. If we tweak our full back and CB positions to improve the football there, transition more efficiently from defence to attack, get the right midfield combo (I am excited about Fred) and provide enough threats coming from the right side of our squad, the goals will increase significantly.

To be honest if it comes to Willian or no one I would rather we get him of course as our right wing is pathetic.

 

[Posh Red]

I don’t understand. Oscillates?

Means that’s the starting point but it could go up I assume.

I know! “Promising young right back Seamus Coleman” is also 29

Fabio and Rafael are 28 too...I remember reading about them when they were 17 and we pre signed them!

 

[Reiver]

Yep, he's got to be better than nothing, which is essentially what we have.

Thiago and cash

Tango and cash.

@United Pro - Removed your tweet. Please look for higher quality sources that have some degree of credibility before posting.

 

[FootyGirl88]

I like McLean - I don't understand the move to Stoke why not just stay WBA considering both teams are in the championship?

What’s wrong with you?

I’m on a soulless concert and suddenly I got five minutes of joy, then comes you. I prefer any type of source as long it’s positive instead of this bore fest. Ok?

"United are set to end their interest in Alex Sandro and instead concentrate their efforts on signing a centre-back
United have been linked with a move for Sandro, but it is understood that they are not willing to meet Juventus’s £50 million-plus valuation of the left-back
It is understood that Mourinho, the United manager, is happy with the options he has at present in the full-back area and wants to sign Maguire, the centre-back, who is valued at over £50 million."

The muppet in me would have preferred Alderweireld but we could get 10 good years out of Maguire.

Still underrated on here.

[Scholesy's Sat Nav]

Appreciate he was a good attacking threat at the World Cup but Maguire is absolute rubbish, turns like a bus and he looks like Paul Heaton from the beautiful south. Actually they both have a hull connection..

Happy to see more reports of us going after Maguire, hope there’s some truth in it.
