He's also only taking out and not putting anything in, regardless of how Arsenal do.

Inter are not going to pay 80m pounds for Lukaku. They already have Icardi so it's not even a position that they need to address urgently.
Didn't Stone say he had a feeling about De Ligt or something?
Why is Simon Stone 'assuming' and 'feeling' things? He works for one of the biggest news outlets in the world and he covers one of the biggest clubs in the world. He should do better than just guessing. None of these journalists know shite about what's going on at United, all they can do is assume. In fact in the above tweet he seems more sure about what's happening at Inter than at United
Football journalists and agents are just stealing a living. The former just makes up shite and gets paid for doing so and the latter.. well what on earth does agents do? Talk shite I guess

Right, so I'm guessing we are going to do a double announcement - De Ligt and Bruno on the 9th? Niceeee
Yes! Please be true.
Would love this to be the case. We scored 65 goals in the league this season. Pogba the highest scorer with 13 goals in the league (7 pens, 3 missed). Fernandes scored 20 league goals (8 pens, 2 missed). The goalscoring burden needs desperately to be more shared in our team.
Becoming a pattern in recent years, we beat City for pretty much every signing. Of course they take revenge by beating us pretty much every time we play.

Moral of the story is? Don't buy City targeted players anymore so we can beat them on the pitch.
Lukaku would sign a 5 year deal though. Let's say 75m(no way inter can pay this much btw) plus 12m in wages for 5 years, rounds up to 27m a year for them. Pretty much the same as Alexis 25m a year, but for a younger player and with resale value
What are you talking about? Just because Stone works for BBC doesn't mean the club has talked to him about De Ligt. If his sources aren't saying anything about it he has no information. That's not stealing a living, that's just how journalism works. No sources, no story.
Nah mate it's gonna be triple. You're forgetting James!
Sure, but the key factor there is a transfer fee.
Then why is he tweeting saying things like assuming and feeling? If you have no info then don't say anything about it
It's his opinion. Journalists aren't robots, and they assume people reading can understand context.
I agree. Tweets like these are just for attention.
Yeah. But for Inter it still makes more sense to target Lukaku, financially. Mostly on the basis that even without a transfer fee, it makes no sense for them to fork out 25m a year in wages to a 31 year old, especially one coming off a horrible last 2 years, for 2-3 years.

Also by the signings turning out to be cack.
This is where the Glazers dupe fans.
They only put money in when they corporate interests come under fire.
If we had got top 4 guarantee we wouldn't spend big.
Is that what journalists are supposed to do? Share their opinions on transfers based on their assumptions and feelings? How is that journalism? I could have written that tweet
I did say that in my first post. Makes more sense. But if you don't have enough money, you don't have enough money. I don't think there is anyone they can shift to us bar Skriniar to lessen the fee, and why would they do that?
Maybe the likeliest scenario is instalments over 2-3 years. I just don't see them buying him for what we spent.
Good for you, mate. Your critical thinking skills are a bit lacking though so I wouldn't go applying to the BBC just yet. You might get there eventually though.
Because nobody knows what the feck we are doing. I like it to be honest.
You clearly have no idea of how finances work.
How much was the debt give years ago and how much is the debt now?
I am not sure myself but I'll bet that it's the same - £350m.
Now how many quality players could you buy with that money today and 5 years ago?
Give it another 5 years and players of the quality of Mbappe, Hazard and co will cost £250m easily.
Glazers are just paying minimal installment waiting on inflation to eat up the debt. Until the day comes a player of the quality of Lukaku will cost as much as the debt.
I reckon this is the main reason Arsenal find themselves short of funds at the moment:
We won’t get 25 penalties next season though.
But not having a debt would cost us more in terms of taxes etc?
Players values will stay the same for the foreseeable, in 5 years I'd imagine football will of had its bust and prices of players will fall.
Glazers have put the bare minimum of their own money in for transfers, most of the cash is generated by the club.
Why do you think transfers were reigned in a bit last season?!
Why do you think it's being reigned in this season?!
Lack of disposable income is hindering things.
I find the lack of United transfer tweets.....disturbing.
I reckon this is the main reason Arsenal find themselves short of funds at the moment:
What is that? Looks like Sea world or something.
Yup, all debt is not bad debt.
Us Pooh-poohers, using our black magic tactics and sacrificing our reputation on an online forum for the good of our club. We are the true heroes!
Los Angeles Stadium, Hollywood Park
Excuse me sir, it doesnt need an economy expert. They have taken for dividends and payed on the debt interest (that they created) 1 billion pounds. Imagine what would Sir Alex could have done with that money.

Stan Kroenke owned LA Rams new stadium/complex that is apparently nearly 4 times the size of Disneyland and is costing at least $5 billion though Kroenke has refused to confirm how much exactly or how it's being funded.
Oh, yeah, like last year. It turned out we weren't doing anything.
