Oh cock. Somebody give David a call…..

How can a sale happen secretly when the club is publicly traded?
By this I mean they have got to a stage of final due diligence which means like buying a house by a nominal deposit paid but not yet exchanged or completed, NYSE needs to be informed when a full announcement made, in other words contracts exchanged, we never ever act this efficiently in the transfer market, something is a foot?
Yeah Woodward left the club
He wasn’t around last summer and it was nothing like this !
The new recruitment / football ops team was just starting to be put into place though
I hope the small fee for Fred and a Donny loan is enough to allow us to get Amrabat. Just replacing Maguire with a CB will not be enough the remainder of this window.
Heard somewhere David going to Real MadridOh cock. Somebody give David a call…..
This is what I’m thinking. We are so un-united like something has definitely changed. Maybe new owner announcement tomorrow!

Not until medicals are passed & contracts are signed but it’s looking promising.

Last hour has been total fecking shite
What’s happening?
This fecking guy... Like a turd that don't flush.
Kane off to Bayern and then those fecking scousers signing Caicedo just to round it off
Yeah, could be although I’d be incredibly surprised if they could keep things this quiet whilst being at any sort of advanced stage.
An alternative possibility is that Murtough etc are trying to right the very obvious mistakes of the Woodward era. A more worrying alternative is that the Glazers have decided to postpone/cancel the sale and know they need to have a decent transfer window to try and take the sting out of the inevitable protests that would take place following such an announcement.
Well newsflash you fecking leeches there will be protests and deservedly so if you have wasted everyone's time since November
If this now develops as seems likely (ie, if we also get Maguire and Donny out the door and sign a backup GK, Amrabat and a CB), this will actually have been a remarkable window, with potentially as many as seven clear team needs addressed (new backup G, new starting G, someone in for Maguire at CB, upgrade on RB (if Pavard), credible backup for Casemiro, upgrade on Eriksen at #8 and a new striker). That really leaves only another striker, which would be amazing.
Provided of course all the new signings work out....

'turd' ! really ? is there any need?
You overestimate Pavard. Hopefully we sign Todibo instead
Yes absolutely. I mean after the way he's carried on I could have called him a cnut but I used a fairly mild expression instead. Are you ok?
This phrase is an overused Caf favourite. I’m sick of reading it!
Id love some witty erudite modmin to add it to the auto-correct list. Something original and amusing….
I felt it was apt but I'm not the most imaginitive soul and I've a hangover. Should have just called him a cnut? That's used even more frequently I'd wager.
"I demand the finest goaltenders known to humanity, and I demand them now" ?
Wrong thread though.
Please bring these caicedo talk to other threads

Every other player going for 100 million now eh 
Don't like him but this one is on us
Will certainly be easier to get Hammers to pay £45 million now....
At this rate, Hoijlund not under as much pressure to perform...
Wow. That's a ridiculous fee. West Ham are rolling in it this summer.
I actually like the way prices are skyrocketing for every Tom, Dick and Harry. It's going to severely punish clubs without good scouting systems in place and clubs who always want the ready made product and don't want to do the development work. It will also help to redistribute wealth and funds to smaller clubs and leagues for better than any official programme will ever be able to do.
You mean clubs like ours?
As Jose predictedEvery other player going for 100 million now eh
United did well to get most of our business done early.
What the hell has Paqueta ever done to be worth such a fee? I mean Pep will somehow make him look like a world beater surely, but he’s been bang average whenever I’ve watched him. Insane money, even for City standards.
Yup. PL Big 7, Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, etc. The financial cost of not developing players and giving youth a chance is going to get steeper and steeper. We've already seen likes of Chelsea and Madrid and Barcelona going straight to source in South Smerica these days rather than waiting for some European club to take all the risk and develop the player.
The key things for me for this transfer is that 1 Pep seems a bit rattled this isn't a usual Pep signing and 2 Despite all the media wankfest over Foden, Pep does not trust him at all.
