Leicester City have made a killing in the past few seasons with their sales.

Is it only me who can’t see the tweets or is it that the tweets aren’t loading for everyone?
Chilwell, Werner, Ziyech... if they sign Havertz too, that's a very good window for them.
And Thiago Silva on a free.
They go about their business so smoothly. No nonsense, no media posturing. Can't help but be jealous of the way these clubs conduct business.
Makes it even sweeter when Frank gets the boot in February.
Some take a while to load for me,though I think I need to clear my browser history.
Fecking hell!
That team (not united) is interested in a player, next day or week it's done. United? We are interested, we are picking up more interest, contacts made but no serious talks, new talks, now supervising, almost about to reaching an agreement, player waiting United checking up stats on FM, deal will be completed soon.
This is annoying. I am getting more frustrated and we will never catch Chelsea now. I think 4th will be a miracle without reinforcement with our limited manager.
So not anywhere remotely close to the £80m the Leicester connected journalists insisted the club would demand.
Where are the Leicester fans who are saying it will be for 80M?
Let's see if they can get Havertz done. Lampard can never complain about not being backed.
For Chilwell?
He will be under real pressure now. The money they have spent he has to win trophies and be challenging for the title. I know Liverpool/City were miles ahead, but Frank is supposedly a god and can do no wrong.

He was great for Villarreal last season on loan, they should keep him. He is better than all their midfielders.
That’s what they said mate. Think it was in the Ben Chilwell thread on the cafFor Chilwell?
Feck me. Should have let them finish 3rd.
They’re efficient because the focus they have is on footballing results. Money is of course important but they don’t let it get in the way.
Starting to see a pattern with Romano.
Within 5 minutes of other journalists or outlets reporting something, he's suddenly got the inside story too. Convenient.

They aren't spending that much money when you consider they haven't really bought anyone in the past 2 years (besides Kovacic) and have received about 150 - 200 million from Hazard, Morata and others. They are just very good at selling players.
We are not signing Diego Costa.
Why are they good at selling players though, we cannot even get the fee for Smalling when it was relatively small. Is it that their players manage to improve and retain their values when we seem to turn players into rubbish.
Would no doubt have been reported as 80m for us.
WTF are you on about! The Havertz story has been going on for 3-4 weeks and same with the Chilwell stuff.
Have you seen their transfers in the last few seasons? They've got like 3-4 LB, spent massively on Jorginho and I believe they paid Napoli to release Sarri. That's not even taking into account the other poor transfers. But yeah, let's just peddle this stupid argument that United are the only team who drag their feet.
@Nou_Camp99 is right, the transfer window does something to our fans.
Their players have them out performing where they should be, plus they don't want to sell them.
We do want to sell our players, who have us under performing for where we want to be, plus we have them on insane megabucks deals.
Re-read it my brother! Douglas Costa, not Diego!
Though you might have the same sentiments regarding him anyway
We should make a counter offer of Lingard, Pereira and Jones for Ronaldo.
See how they like that.
Chelsea could easily surge past us next season, some real talent incoming
I’m having issues, too. Cleared my cookies to see if that would help but no luck.
Tried to clear my cookies too but ain’t helping. I have posted in the admin forum for help
To be fair clubs like that are always going to spend. Whilst we’re stood still who knows who could surge past us. Our lack of activity is alarming at the moment although we have to wait until the end of the window to assess.

This is how serious teams do it if they know they can't get buyers for their deadwood. They definitely don't renew their contracts in the hope of protecting 'value.'
There's absolutely no convincing scenario in which an Italian newspaper could know all of this.
They won't have close contacts with the top of the United hierarchy to get this kind of exclusive. Even if they did have some contacts, nobody in Woodward's office would ever reveal our exact list of targets.
And on the other end of the speculation, a single newspaper would never have enough reputable leaks from different clubs/agents (who are all dealing with United at the same time) to be able to come up with a story as wide-ranging as this.

Tbf he said a week ago that Chillwell was the main target and they were trying to strike a deal for him.
So fabricated links to us got him another 20k per week on his contract?
looks like he wants to come to us over Arsenal but we are not really interested.
Looks like we will be battling it out for 4th place again next season (sigh)
