Summer Transfer Window Thread 15/16

[Geordie]

First topic message reminder :

I think the other point...is we need defenders....badly!

Surely we have enough to cover the attacking options.

[Hammersmith harrier]

I feel like crying, everything seemed to be going so well for us in early July but since then nothing.

[Hero]

If it's Aubameyang then I'd be concerned he was nicking my old pace abuse attack options from my Juve team as I had him and Depay supporting Neymar.

[Fernando]

Gunna need a lot of money to prize Reus away from Dortmund (id guess north of 55m)

Well United have a lack of pace bar Depay so would make sense to buy Aubameyang (30m were rumoured)

[Hero]

We're spunking out around 40m on a 19 year old, 55m on a worldie is nothing!
(And that net spend with the De Gea sale puts us at -29m I believe?)

[Fernando]

I said north of 55m

[Hero]

Oh and with the Chicarito sale then even with Martial coming in the Utd net spend this summer will stand at...0m

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cant keep up with other transfers. Brown Ideye has left our shores. Forest after free agent Hoilett (makes it even more likely Antonio is off). Glenn Murray fee agreed between B'Mouth and Palace. Lindegaard at West Brom.

And Marseille sign Lamela.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Appears Jon Walters is trying to force the move to us through.

As I said before, would be happy with that

[Liam]

As a utd fan, i'm annoyed wilson may be heading out with Martial coming in. I'm not bothered he's being touted as the next best thing, Wilson has come through the system, scored bucket loads of goals at every level he's played at and offers PACE! why hasn't he been given a go? This is looking shambles atm, however, it could all change with a couple of good signings on the last day but I really can't see it. I'll reserve final judgement till tomorrow.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Cue panic bids for Coentrao and Gomis.

[nadeem2099]

Juventus have signed Marseille midfielder Mario Lemina on loan with an option to buy for 10mill. Good buy. Only 21 years old and could be the next Vidal.

[Fernando]

Cue panic bids for Coentrao and Gomis.

You be wasting time with Coentrao since he's joined Monaco

You and I know that but Woodward is probably still trying to get Real to offer him as a part of the De Gea deal.

[Liam]

Reports now Rojo may leave tomorrow. That would amaze me but it over the past few months Van Gaal seemed to be giving him the cold shoulder. Shame because I liked Rojo, showed glimpses he could be a good defender last year. If he goes and with Evans leaving, it leaves us with Smalling; Blind; McNair and jones as our cb options, so there must be another arriving if he leaves. Possibility surely then of almost 3 players coming in. Incredible we've left it this late AGAIN!

[Fernando]

Rojo to leave? what the hell is going on at Utd. Ed better have one hell of a plan cos your going to look very foolish if sign no one now.

[Guest]

Rojo involved in the Martial deal

[Liam]

It must mean a cb is coming in. No other option. Have no idea who it could be however. Greizemann has tweeted something random that has sent fans into disarray. A player of his calibre isn't tweeting anything the day before he's apparently moving. As much as i'd love him at utd.

[Hero]

Not sure where the Rojo rumour is coming from, it links back to Mark Ogden of the Telegraph but he's not said anything on it looking at his history.

[nadeem2099]

Juventus are close to signing Inter Milan midfielder Hernanes. They are making some good buys ala replacing Vidal and Pirlo.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Rojo can only leave within the next couple of hours so i'd be surprised to see that happen, there are no murmurings of us signing anyone other than Martial so think we've just screwed up.

[Hero]

Griezmann has tweeted 'Tomorrow it will match, stay tuned '

Any idea?

[Mat]

Maybe he's waiting to get a match on Tinder

[Fernando]

Someone get Viper on it.

Spurs linked to Ayoze Perez for £15m

[Hero]

Though he did tweet this a couple of weeks ago:

Quel match de Martial !

[Liam]

Go on then, i'll put my mad transfer deadline day head on for a second:

Out: Hernandez/Wilson/Januzaj/Rojo
In: Martial/Greizemann or Reus/Laporte/Kane

[Guest]

Greizmann is apparently the target, Balague stating player is keen too.

F*** off Spurs getting their hands on Ayoze

[Hero]

Oh for the love of god please be right Balague. Think I've been pretty consistent all summer in saying he's the one player I want Utd to sign.
There is a buyout fee.
He is a Utd fan.

Woodward get it done.

[nadeem2099]

Watford sign Victor Ibarbo

[Liam]

I'm gonna take the greizemann stuff with an extra large pinch of salt to say the least. Yes, exactly the player we need, but would be amazed if atletico would let him go this late in the window.

[GSC]

I love transfer cowpat day. Or eve in this case

[Hero]

If it's the Balague tweet that's just imploded on Twitter then it's a fake account.

Expletives.

[Mat]

Albion wise I reckon:

Ins: Ledley/Jedinak, Phillips, Jose Enrique
Outs: Lescott, Sessegnon, Pocognoli, Anichebe

Still got a feeling there's a twist in the Berahino saga, if he goes I expect we'll try push through a deal for Austin or a loan for Wilson(which may happen anyway)

[Hammersmith harrier]

Would be a standard Woodward man sausage up seeing as that buyout fee went up by £20mil the other week and Martial would have been half the price before signing a new contract also.

It won't happen we're stuck with what we've got.

[Liam]

Like I said, allot of utd fans, rightly or wrongly are having meltdowns at what is happening atm. The De Gea stuff could have been sorted earlier but I think Van Gaal wanted to take it to the last minute in the hope he'd stay, or at the least we get the deal we want, which is what it looks like has happened. Looking at what we've signed so far, its a good window SO FAR: Schneiderlin, Schweinstiger, Darmian and Depay. Add another striker (as well as martial) and top winger and a cb IF rojo leaves and its a great window. Players like Hernandez, Evans, Lindegaard etc aren't good enough for us, so no tears shed on them leaving.

[nadeem2099]

Leicester are supposedly close to signing Sporting Lisbon winger Carillo.

[Hero]

In other random Utd news:

Valdes has updated his Facebook profile background to the Utd badge.

[nadeem2099]

I take it him and LVG have made up then. Not a bad 2nd choice keeper if he does stay.

[Liam]

Greizemann rumours seem to be picking up and so are the Laporte rumours. french trio, makes sense right haha!

On the players leaving, what player there is a really going to affect us other than de gea:

Hernandez - not good enough
evans - not good enough
lindegaard - not good enough and have cover now
januzaj - would have been good squad option but loan could do him good
wilson - would have liked to see him play more but loan will give him the chance to play more and develop
Rafael - Injury prone and inconsistent

Same players utd were calling for to be sold are now furious they've gone. Sorry but they had to, we've cleared the deadwood and hopefully come tomorrow, we would have brought in at least 3 good players.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Mbokani in on a loan with an option to buy for £5m.

Chuffed with that - low risk being a loan, potentially high reward player

[Hammersmith harrier]

I wish I still had your zest for life Liam, the reality is we will not be spending in excess of £100mil on three players on transfer deadline day, the likelihood is it's Martial and Martial alone.

[Liam]

I would normally agree but I just can't see that being all. It just can't. Rooney and Martial as the only strikers? another one has to come in. Winger is needed badly as we only have Depay/Young/Mata. If rojo leaves, which is a big if, then a cb must come in. Otherwise, we will definitely be finishing 4th or below.

[GSC]

My current favorite is we're sign Scheletto from Inter. I should start my own horseshit twitter account

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Derby linked with Bradley Johnson

PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE

[GSC]

I thought they signed Butterfield for 3m for something.

Imagine if they let McClaren spend this instead of the worlds highest paid pe teacher

[Fernando]

Lucas Piazon joins Reading on loan.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Canal in France reporting that the Martial deal is €80m

There's desperation then there's that

[GSC]

Its good being the king - Ed Woodward

[Dolphin Ziggler]

They'll be doing that new mental thing media outlets do to make sensational headlines. Fee and wages combined. It drives me a little nuts.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Johnson would be ok for them - gives them something they haven't got. Butterfield is just a worse version of the midfielders that are already there

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Betis agree terms with RVW

Please say this isn't true and sell the lard arse Hooper instead
