I’m rapidly tiring of this transfer window. To say the “Will he, won’t he?” sagas involving both de Jong and Ronaldo are becoming annoying is an understatement and then some. I just wish United would get their business done.

Someone at UEFA needs to crack down on Barcelona, who are apparently trying to shift the £17m deferred wages of De Jong onto the buying club. If they have got the money to buy new players, then they've got the money to service their existing debts.

I don't often agree with Comrade Neville but his recent tweet was absolutely spot on with this.

And no, despite having typed that UEFA need to crack down on Barcelona, I have not been drinking. I know it won't happen, but it should.
 
Are you 100% confident about that? Really?

He may not have zero interest in joining but just how much interest does he have? I know the money side is complicated on this but even so..........

I firmly believe it. There is absolutely no point in signing players who are not committed to the cause. We’ve been there, done that, and I really don’t think the new manager will want to start his time in charge managing a dressing room full of malcontents.

Yes I think your correct.
He has probably told Utd he wants to come!
But he wants his wages from Barca, who can blame him if they owe it to him.
Barcelona do seem to get away with things other clubs would not.
 
If playing in the Premier League and the Champion's League are the wrong reasons then I guess so. ?‍♂️

More the auditions from American sniper lol

Still chuffed though, two summers running we have spent £30 million on CBs. Zouma has premier League and champs League experience, kicks cats tho. Augard is a ball playing CB. I'm gutted he is injured

I won't apologise for my excitement on a striker lol considering we struggle to get players to score more than 10 goals ! (Bowen got 12 last year first player to go above 10 since Carlton cole in the league)

So to have someone who scored 16 goals in seria a (some bangers) I can't wait to see him in action

Plus finally can bench Antonio or at least rest him rather than just let him run himself to the glue factory

Scandalous that Antonio only managed 10 again, he had 8 by January! 4 of them after 3 games. :ROFLMAO:

Carlton Cole was an awful footballer, it's outrageous that he is still the benchmark for you as well.
 
Dwight McNeil signs for Everton, from Burnley. Good signing, only 22, strong and direct runner, scores and creates goals.

Vincent Kompany must be wondering what he has got himself into. So far he has lost Pope, Tarkowski and McNeil. His 3 best players gone, but no doubt he is expected to supply promotion at the first attempt.

38 games last season with no goals and one assist, typical Everton signing but I hope he proves me wrong

Ben Mee gone too, chatter Cornet going as well

I though he had scored some last year, oops. To be fair, it was a wretched year for Burnley last year and even in other years they were hardly the epitome of attacking football. He should have more opportunity to attack at Everton, also have a better striker to finish crosses off.
 
I hope they haven't taken a picture yet for the posters. His job just gets tougher by the day.
Kompany seemed a bizarre appointment to me. Thought they were primed for a Pulis/Warnock type appointment, instead a guy with no English managerial experience, in fact very little experience at all. Maybe Newcastle will give them Wood back, they're probably done with him now.
 
Been a great window for us. Normally in the same boat as Levy waits until it's too late to get any deals done and suddenly on deadline day the prices to up. This is the first time I can remember us getting business done early!

So you’re looking forward to watching a team set up for counter attacking football. Both at home and away ?? boring
 
Rumours around City that’s James McTee will be allowed to go out on loan for the season. A couple of teams are interested, one being Forest. He would be one hell of a signing and if Forest get him I would be really excited at how the window has gone. He is another Foden he is that good.
