Summer Transfer Window

[Indie_]

Didn't realise Di Marzio was the GOAT, so what happens if United come out and say we aren't? Do we 'cop it sweet' still?

No, but until that happens I'd be taking Di Marzio's word as the truth.

180k also isn't that bad for a player of Falcao's calibre. It just means he isn't getting what he was at Monaco and by a fair bit. Nice that he took a pay cut to join us.

But you aren't paying him 180k, you're paying 260k+ to him. He might have taken a pay cut to join you, but you've just added a third player who will be getting over 200k, and who knows how much the likes of Di Maria and Mata.

10 mins to go and neither have been confirmed yet

Well if one person could **** it up it's Woodward.

Getting concerning now that nothing has happened. He has been at Carrington since 5pm UK time.

 

[pieman123]

Well if Di Marzio is running with that, all the United fans have to cop it sweet. He's the most reliable journalist when it comes to transfers.

Man are United ****** if they don't get UCL football this season. Rooney, RVP, Falcao, Di Maria and Mata must be on insane wages.

Well be right, enjoy Lallana and Lambert.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Neither are happening

 

[glenferry23]

They sell us Silvestre, then make it up to us by purchasing van Persie in his prime....and then sell us Welbeck for £16m.

Lovely.

I realise it's after tax and again it's a good deal for a player of his calibre. United can afford it, we are super rich.

 

[pantskyle]

A few deals now in limbo.

Not sure how Falcao and Welbeck could go down to the wire, they've had most of the day with the deals agreed.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Gee how many players have Southampton let go this window?

I realise he's a great player and that United can afford it. But you're giving someone who needs heart surgery breast implants. Might look nice, but it's not what is needed.

Well be right, enjoy Lallana and Lambert.

Have to admire the bullishness here. Still confident of United finishing second mate?

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Arsenal have applied for an extension to try and seal the signing of Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck.

It is needed though if RvP is gone for an extended period of time.

 

[pantskyle]

BBC Sport's Simon Stone tells Radio 5 live: "Manchester United haven't confirmed Falcao because the deal has not been completed yet. Should fans be worried? No. Providing a deal sheet has been submitted then United have until midnight to conclude the deal."

 

[chef]

Anywhere between 350-450k. All tax free.

I imagine he'll have a decent severance package coming his way soon.

Either way he's a great pick up and he will put you back in top 4 calculations.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Did the Falcao deal fall through? Something must have happened there.

Why not play a one striker system?

As long as a deal has been completed, you can deal with the semantics for an hour after the window i.e Medical, personal terms etc

 

[Shade]

Ramirez is flipping rubbish.

totally out of his depth in the EPL will put in a terrible shift for hull

 

[pantskyle]

Why not play a one striker system?

Like we did in pre-season? I kind of agree with you however we have sold Welbeck and loaned out Hernandez so we were real short.

We also need a prolific scorer, Falcao is that.

We have bought 6 1st team players, people are going around like we have just bought a striker this window is hilarious.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

A.Villa have pulled out of the race to sign T.Cleverley due to high wage demand. [Sky Sports]

LOL

 

[chef]

Jamal Blackman off to Middlesborough on loan till January.

As much as I didn't want UTD. to get Falcao we can't go on for 3+ months with Sanogo as starting striker as iffy as Welbeck is it is an improvement on Sanogo and we need speed up top which he has, besides we failed again somehow to sign a dm

One of our big outstanding deals is about to be wrapped up...

So you're still confident of finishing second? And one final question, please put all of those signings into one lineup.

As a United fan I've never seen Welbeck as a pure striker, doesn't score enough. Arsenal should have went for Hernandez.
