Your carrington source says hello

along with the other 350 people that work there that are not related to anybody or have no family or friends :rolleyes:

Bull..
Said poster has a history of ITK proclamations...all of which we could make
Claimed to have a source at carrington
Claimed deals for Kroos and Shaw we're about to be finalised a month before Shaw signed
Claiming deals for other players are close

Any poster on here could do this but don't as most have the "Common sense" and wait and see approach to allow the club to do their business..

We all know how the club operates so saying to the contrary is being silly and repeatedly doing so makes it even worse



Spoofers should be called out as such..

I never said he wasn't a bull****ter, I've called him on it multiple times myself. Claiming that what he's saying isn't true because the club hasn't issued a press release about rumoured targets is just dumb though and there's better ways of calling him on his bs.

Respected posters on here never make these claims and thats why they are respected as such

Ah there's actually a few regulars here that do it, albeit not as blatantly as Bangkok.

Nobody is saying that the staff at Carrington don't have family or friends, just that they're not family or friends of yours.

The Moldy Gowl

Do they only hire people with no families?

If you're going to keep coming back pretending to be ITK time and time again you're gonna' be ridiculed. And rightly so imo.

The kroos bit I get but he isnt that much out of kilter with what some others are saying and nearly anytime he posts he's getting hassle. Even when he isnt on thread he's getting it in the neck.

TBF I'm impressed he hasn't thrown a wobbly over it.

Adamocovic

I've heard from Ed's hairdresser that a deal for De Vrij should be worked out by the end of the week

In all seriousness would love the inclusion of De Vrij.
I can't take the rumours of a swap for Vermaelen for Smalling or Jones as serious rumour. Seems like a daft move.

jesus, relax. I'm pretty sure it has all turned into an in thread joke at this stage.

Why are you getting offended on behalf of someone.


Recently it has all been light hearted jokes about it.



They were probably mentioned in January if you want to be pedantic.

Who's doing the buying for ye? I'm not sure I'd trust your spending over the last season or 2 if the trend continues. A huge aspect will be how effective sturridge is, imo he was nearly as impressive in term of effectiveness as suarez last season, suarez padded his stats when ye were ahead, dont think he was worth what ye got for him.

Adamocovic

Haha so since the Hummels talk has faded from the papers, The Guardian have gone back to the aul Sneijder story again.
Apparently United have tried to "woo" Sneijder into joining us. Don't claim sources but who needs them!

Well I read the thread and it's not funny anymore tbh. I didn't say I was offended, it's old now.

I Know when they were mentioned, long enough ago and not brought up by him again for it the be irrelevant.

Nope. Just like I don't think there was ever any contact with Sneijder in 2011. This is 2014's Sneijder.

Manchester United have said they do not expect Wesley Sneijder to join the club from Internazionale before the end of the transfer window. Although the Premier League champions did not want to go on the record, the official stance from Old Trafford is that the deal is not going to happen. The information comes from boardroom level, with the chief executive, David Gill, giving his approval for it to be known that United are not actively trying to sign the Dutchman.
That position can feasibly change – Sneijder could, in theory, drastically lower his salary requirements and Inter may offer him at a reduced fee – but this is to be regarded as unlikely, according to United. If that remains the case, it threatens to be a significant setback to Sir Alex Ferguson's hopes of building a team with realistic aspirations of closing the gap on Barcelona over the next few years.
Ferguson has spent £50m this summer on Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David de Gea but regarded the signing of a top-quality central midfielder as a priority. The manager has missed out on Samir Nasri of Arsenal while another target, Tottenham Hotspur's Luka Modric, favours a move to Chelsea. Nasri's talks with Manchester City are at an advanced stage although time may be running out for their hope that the transfer can be finalised in time for him to make his debut at home to Swansea City on Monday.
Sneijder has said there have been "unofficial talks" with United and there remains an element of confusion about the exact order of events leading to Thursday's development. United first notified journalists at the start of the team's pre-season tour to the United States that Sneijder did not feature in their plans. They are now reiterating that this is the case.
Yet in between Gill admitted there had been contact with Inter. He qualified that by saying "we didn't progress that one", but stressed the situation could change before the end of the window. "The important point is that you never know. I've been around in football long enough to know things change quickly."

Lads, it shouldn't need to be said that if a poster's style isn't to your liking, you're free to ignore them. But when I click into a topic and see that it's simply a discussion slagging off a poster and has gone completely off topic, I feel the need to step in and say to cop on.

If a poster's style is not to your tastes, or if you feel someone isn't credible, please feel free to ignore them and not drag the thread so off topic. Thanks

EDIT: Just to add....there's been problems with "in-jokes" before whereby it's not always clear a joke is a joke. It also can appear to be verging on bullying, no matter what a person has posted in the past. You're more than free to pass by a post and ignore it, but please don't start throwing shots at someone cause it does nothing but make me have to add another warning to the thread.

Shame Giggs retired, otherwise this post would still be spot on.

Haha I sometimes think Sneijder made a deal with the devil to give him good footballing talent but in return he would forever have to be linked with a move to United!

Guardian wall of text.

I never claimed that the papers had not linked United with Sneijder, so I don't really know why you posted this.

Vic Vinegar

Apparently Juventus have had an offer for Udinese midfielder Roberto Pereyra accepted.

Wonder why they need another midfielder?

I dont think he said the opposite though, didnt progress it is not saying it didnt happen, sound a tentative testing approach to me.

Adamocovic

Oh yea, I know where getting the same recycled stories in the papers but were linked with Cuadrado in a lot of them again. Apparently a bid of £27.7 million has been made. Then again the sources seem to be coming from Spain and it wouldn't be the first time they have ran with a story that wasn't true.

What do people think? Worth the money?

That's fine. It doesn't sounds like it to me, but it's not really critical that we all agree on this.

Decent chance vidal wont pass a medical, might be offloading pogba or some other high value assets. Anyone know who in their squad would cover these sales?

Rayne Wooney

According to twitter BRod wants to add Vidal to his Scouselacticos

Anyone hazard a guess as to how Madrid midfield and attack will line up this season. Well the sitting 2 in a 4-2-3-1 if anchelotti got with that?

The medical would bow down and crumble in fear at the mere sight of Mr. Vidal

Rayne Wooney

......Kroos Modric......
Bale James Ronaldo
......Benzy/Falcao.....

Alonso will be phased out I'm guessing

The Moldy Gowl

What if the Vidal move is already done but Vidal wants to take his holidays.


He won't get paid his holiday days if he dosent.

Also gives his knew time to recover and since eddy is pure sound let's Juve spend the money so they don't get raped?

I'd be worried about his knee crumbling, I've struggled with knee issues for 7 years, my brother has weak knees as well, dad did both his knees. We'll all done ACL at least once and torn cartilage once, sometime it's just genetic and once it goes it never heals properly.

FG already told us Vidal doesn't like Pogba, so he'll hardly play next to him over in Evertonland.

He'll turn up in extra time against Galaxy. Nutmeg Keano after thundering down from the stands, still wearing his ingenius Roy Keane disguise, score an absolute thunderbastard in the top right corner of the net, tearing it clean from the posts before stripping bollock naked and showing a huge "MUFC TILL I DIE" tattoo cut in to his back.

Paddy Cerrand will keel over, be instantly revived by Arturo and then keel again. Rooney will instantly lose 35 lbs right from his arsehole. LvG will erupt in to his patented boat dance routine and a Native American will shed a single tear.

Because he is taking his holidays.

He is being that annoying lady in the office who comes in with biscuit cake on her holidays to see how everyone is.


And to say good bye.
