Transfer Rumours 2015/16

That could easily be true without it being our fuck up.

We can't force Madrid to bid for our players, if they wanted to engage in brinkmanship then fine. But if they didn't leave themselves enough time for both parties to complete a transfer (and bare in mind that by virtue of the deal they offered we were having to negotiate with a keeper that, by all accounts, was reluctant to move) then they've got no one to blame but themselves.

We had the exact same thing happen when we went to sign Contreo from them with approximately 3 seconds left of the transfer window. I don't think we put out a statement blaming everybody else but ourselves in that instance, we knew we'd fucked it.

He can't really afford not to be playing if he wants to make Spain's Euro squad.

As far as I understand it, van Gaal just kept him out till the window closed, hell be back in the squad for sure. Probably what a lot of United fans wanted in the end, I can see him going in January but it gives you time to replace him properly.

On a second note, how come Valdes isnt playing? Surely hes better than Romero? I legitimately thought he left you guys till someone mentioned hes still at United yesterday

So we've offered £5m for Berhino with more in add-ons and installments. Did they really think that was going to work? Jesus fucking christ.

Club statement on De Gea transfer.

Never, ever seen us do this before. We're pissed off.

Everton getting Lennon and Funes Mori full transfer. Shocking that that's the only bit of business they've done when they were in talks with Yarmolenko, van Dijk, de Guzman, and, since they were targeting River Plate players, quite possibly should've gone after the better RP defender in Alvarez Balanta.

Sky Sports using FM stats for their reporting is kind of funny
