So after a month of negotiations we haven’t actually signed a player. Excuses made about every single element not being the club’s fault. And our first potential signing isn’t first choice and our 5th LB in the squad.
Glad we are improving though…
The part where he says the deal is on track is the most important bit I took from that tweet. Delayed a bit but no big deal.Not gonna lie it's worrying seeing Ornstein reporting this because such a strong source
Legit?
I'd prefer Tielemans to Eriksen for the 2nd cm spot personally. Think he's a massive talent that has clearly wanted to move to a bigger club for a couple years now. I also personally prefer seeing us targeting players in the 22-25 age bracket than going for players that are either past or coming to the end of their prime. Just too many players around the age of 30 that have burned us for my liking.
Would have loved him a few seasons ago but he's been shockingly bad recently.I'd prefer Tielemans to Eriksen for the 2nd cm spot personally.

Eriksen could be a done deal with player required just to travel for medical and contract signing and that's pretty much it.I'd prefer Tielemans to Eriksen for the 2nd cm spot personally.

Does actually have sources then? Or is he just confirming deals that have already been confirmed then?Tweet

Howard and Fab fighting for the back post!
He made it pretty clear about 2 years ago he wanted to leave Leicester. Think he just lost all interest in that project. The underperformance of the team as a whole this season probably didn't help matters. You can question his mentality because of that but I personally don't foresee any problems like that at a club like Utd. I just think he feels like he outgrew a club like Leicester. Pretty sure a lot of the top players in the world would feel the same.Would have loved him a few seasons ago but he's been shockingly bad recently.
Van der Howe?? Seriously??!Thinking United wants to synchronise and do a banded transfer signing day with all their signings presented together. FdJ, Malachia and one surprise signing (Eriksen? 2nd choice goalie?)
we’ve done this before in 1996 I think with Poborsky, Ole Solsjkaer and Raimond Van Der Howe. Also around 2006 with Nani and Anderson.
Van der gowe (can’t remember Dutch spelling)Van der Howe?? Seriously??!
A window where we bring in FdJ, Eriksen and Tielemans is not to be sniffed at, would be a brilliant start at hopefully under £100m leaving some pennies for an attackerI'd prefer Tielemans to Eriksen for the 2nd cm spot personally.

You make it sound like the club fecked up. The club had done nothing wrong and it’s all on track againDo we ever do things the easy way
If he says it, it's happening. In fact, it already happened in most casesDoes actually have sources then? Or is he just confirming deals that have already been confirmed then?
Stealing a living, that guy.I am struggling to believe anything written by a man who is called Crook.

I am still desperately hoping we willWas really hoping we'd sign a RB as I'm not convinced at all with Dalot, AWB and Laird as our options there. If fullbacks are as essential to ETH's system as is claimed then it's strange.
At the start of the 2020 season we had more homegrown players than any other club in Europe mate so I doubt Romero was left out because he was a foreigner.Or he was probably not in the list because there was no more space for foreigners? It's about a 25 man squad. Jones was not registered too, as there was no space. Was Jones also a persona non grata?

Not really, Romero probably would have been worse anyway. We didn't lose because of the keeper.BTW check the game again vs Sevilla. De Gea was atrocious and in fault for losing against Sevilla. So the decision was wrong.
Again the club said he could leave because of the return of Henderson but they wanted £8m which while a bit high is fair enough as they were up front about it. Everton wouldn't pay it, Romero threw a hissy fit and didn't train for weeks, then the club forced him to train alone as a result of his behaviour and then he ran his contract down instead of pushing for a move in January.And finally, again what you are saying it doesn't make sense. We should have accepted anything in the summer too. But we didn't. He asked to leave and we valued a 33 years old keeper on high wages with 10 mil. But your explanation is that he was a prick and a raiolo client. Weird.
