Transfer discussion thread

Sounds like Luiz had a bit of a sook after being told he wouldn't be an automatic starter.

I guess thats why we haven't loaned Tomori yet. Him, Rudiger, Zouma, Christensen and also Azpi when James is fit. We should be fine.

It will be sad to see the geezer go though, 3 out of 4 games he's great and a character to have in the change rooms.

Keep banking that money to throw at Sancho next summer.

Hopefully legit

Yes appears it’s imminent now.

If we can get Tierney and Luiz, we've had an outstanding window.

2 very important signings there, improving the defence a fair bit.

If we get Luiz and/or a CB who is better, it is pretty much 10/10 for me for us.

Man United have accepted Inter's £70m ($126m AUD) offer for the Belgian striker.

Lukaku is in Milan and will undergo a medical shortly.

So who do they drop the cash on?

Everton suffered from the ban of English clubs in Europe more than any other team post Heysel. They lost the ability to win the EC when they had a great team Inc Andy Gray etc.

Spurs are an enormous club, I feel they are the Richmond of the EPL, when they finally win something it will be pandamonium.

Also Spurs (5.5m) v Everton (1.1m) Instagram followers would suggest there is a bit of a difference in size.

Spurs have got supporters up and down the country. Everton don’t. They are very much a club with just local regional support. I like them though, always preferred them to Liverpool

A Luiz/Mustafi CB pair will be pretty interesting.

Why does Unai Emery sound like Borat when he talks. “Tierney, yes I like”. Bloke legitimately sounds like he’s not well

Not sure there'd be much cash up front from inter.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Who United go for as a centre forward is a genuine mystery. Surely they can’t be thinking of playing Rashford there all season

Lucky that won't happen often as it will be Papa/Luiz I'd imagine.

Probably easier to understand than you

Fair point.

I think our incoming business is well and truly done. They may look at someone as a back up only but from all reports Ole is happy with promoting Greenwood as the Lukaku replacement.

Sounds like a take away pizza place

More likely Spurs are a global brand. Everton not so much. They were also an early adopter of foreign players with Argies and Germans likely to make up some of that 5.5m followers.

 

[QuietB]

Compared to the 300m over the last 2 years.

European Cups aren’t cheap

 

[RPCB]

Somehow Lukaku has cost £200M in transfer fees in his career.

 

[charcoalchicken]

A spurs v everton shitfight in the transfer thread? Really??

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Gonna be pretty light on with firepower upfront.

Lo Celso and Sessegnon sound like they're all but done. Personally, I'm extremely excited about both.

Dybala is the potential real statement signing though. I find it interesting that the Guardian journo is the only one going with wages being an issue. Others, including apparently reliable Argie journos, are saying that personal terms are all but agreed and the difficulty lies in the image rights situation. Whatever happens, this will definitely be one to keep an eye on tonight.

Won't lie that I've completely lost myself in the excitement of this one though. It would be so monumental for us for a number of different reasons. It would signify a real shift in our attitude as a club imo.

Lo Celso and Dybala would be history repeating and if it happens it would be class if the social team paid tribute to this:

 

[Memphis]

I still don't get it.
Walker in his prime and they just signed another RB?

 

[RossFC]

I think he's transitioning to CB sometimes.

 

[Sozabarus]

If United sell Lukaku and don’t replace him then I think they look weaker than they did at the start of the window, even with the defensive reinforcements. That’s over 40 goals in the last two seasons gone, and they weren’t exactly free scoring at the best of times.
