Trust me account has no credibility! He is probably a spotty teenager at home tweeting to the masses !

Every second tweet over the last fortnight on his account has been essentially the same narrative!! Look tyhrough his account!!

Cant believe people buy into these tweets so easily! (you arent the only one!)

I just posted the tweet,I didn't hold much faith in it,considering even the most trusted journo's know as much as we do at this stage,it will be a case of wait until Pogba is in OT holding a shirt up.

Really don't understand how people fall for those accounts.

Google search his image and you get a result of "Person" for goodness sake.

The Talking Bread

A selection of Dick Marrows tweets!:


Many of my sources are suggesting that £32m Edinson Cavani move is on the cards for Manchester United #MUFC #Transfers #PSG

Recently I have been hearing reports that Nianngolan wants to speed up the process of his transfer to Chelsea.

I've also heard recently that Juventus are going to place a bid for Ozil as a replacement for #Pogba who will sign for #MUFC tomorrow. #AFC (a week and a half ago!)

The next day..........
The transfer window is heating up now! I'm now hearing that Real Madrid have snapped up Paul Pogba at the outrage of Ed Woodward! #MUFC

On holiday I've just seen Paul Pogba at Miami airport #MUFC #RMFC #Juve (sure you have, Ted!!)

And then the best yet!!

An unauthorised personnel, close to Arsene Wenger, has told me that the signing of Xhaka was the first of many. #AFC #Arsenal #Wenger

I mean Arsenal................"first of many"!!


I reiterate, stay away from Twitter, you will go insane!!!

Ah, no, I know, wasnt having a go. Its just annoying seeing all these tweets thrown onto the page for last three weeks when they all say same thing!

A quick browse through that account would have shown you the credibility that that tweet should have!

Jesus christ lads, it's a tweet, talk/gossip/rumours is in the thread title, stop gettin yer boxers in a twist.

Ronaldo didn't give a fiddlers about United, he obviously had a good relationship with Fergie and got on with his team mates but ultimately he is a professional footballer doing a job and that is what he did at United. He's not alone in that either, plenty of players don't necessarily love the clubs they play for. Ronaldo was the best player to grace Old Trafford in terms of international recognition since George Best so naturally we as United fans want to believe he loves United, the fact is he doesn't now and didn't when he was here. He was phenomenal for us and has a great regard to for the club but he doesn't love the club, no more than second place record goal scorer and current captain Wayne Rooney loves the club he tried so hard to leave on two occasions. Footballers are doing a job, I don't love the company I work for, most people are similarly inclined, why should footballers be any different?

I cant see much difference between his relationship with the club and fans of Madrid and United in how he conducts himself ??? He is there to do a job, moreso for himself on a personal level if anything!

How in gods name do you know whether he loved the club or not!!

His footballing heart was in it when he was there. He went out and performed professionally, with respect and enjoyment. You would want to be a very cold and calculated person to spend 6 seasons there without enjoying your time there

ShooterSF

"At long last, with the meeting about to end, @MinoRaiola, @juventusfc and @ManUtd have agreed a deal for Paul Pogba worth €120m + €20 (1/2)"

Aha what's the score for? Does everyone in the meeting get a centra chicken roll as part of the deal? And why aren't Juve paying at least half? We're such walkovers. Disgraceful. WOODWARD OUT

I'm making an educated guess that he didnt/doesn't love the club.
United fans in comparison to Madrid fans are extremely easy going and routinely endear themselves to players in a way that is alien in Madrid. Ronaldo loves being a Madrid player but has made no secret of his displeasure with his treatment at the hands of some of their supporters.
Also, every time Ronaldo wants an extra 50 grand a week in his wages all he has to do is bat his eyelids at United and by the end of the month he's got a pay rise.
Players are professionals, they are not required to love the clubs they play for, being a couple person has nothing to do with it, expecting that is something I find puzzling and laughable.

To be honest in his last year while he was not as good as previous years and i think he wanted the move to madrid badly as wanted to move closer to home i dont think he ever didnt have his heart in it for united at any time during that year.

He wanted to move to Madrid to take his career to the next level, which he did. Utd had peeked by winning the CL that year, as they did in 99.
It was inevitable he was going to move and look at he player he has become today.
He's entitled to be selfish if it relates to his career.
Doesn't mean he wasn't dedicated to Utd or the cause. I have huge respect for him and what he did when he played for us.

United are controlling the wages of Ronaldo! :eek:

Eh, isnt it the exact same thing at Madrid! They have bowed at his every command!

And dont all successfull players demand new contracts? I dont recall Ronaldo ever holding us to ransom? He personally decided himself to stay another year. He would have got paid more at Madrid had he left after 2007/08

Im not sure your point here!


The point is you (or whoever the original poster was) are saying his heart was never for one second at United! Just because they are footballers, earning millions doesnt mean they cant build up a professional appreciation to the club. Ronaldo seems to be very emotive from what I see.

Noone is saying Old Trafford was his Church, we are merely saying he had a great mutual relationship with the club, which wasnt driven merely by his pay packet.

He is cracking for engaging with people on twitter tbh.

It looks like every credible Journo is saying the same thing about the medical in USA. Looks like a briefing from Juve.

So what I am reading is that we have a fee agreed with Juve, a contract with Pogba, and now we just have to give some cash to Raoila? Grand.

Sportwitness are analysing the news that Madrid are getting a bit more interested in Hazard as their shiny new toy,good news for us if that happens.They can barely afford one new superstar let alone two.

It might be petty but it would be nice if MUFC monitored Reals targets and displayed enough interest to force Madrid to pay top money and top wages for every single purchase. Everyone knows United has money and overcharges the club - might as well force Real and Co. to pay the same prices with less money.

Seriously though. Madrid haven't made any big signings yet or have I missed something? It would be odd for them not to even without the transfer ban coming up.

Who can they justify to replace from a Champions League winning squad. Andre Gomes was one of their targets and he was supposed to be a Squad player. a 65m euro squad player.. but Barca stole him

The is always talk of deals for awaiting for the medical, and sometimes if the deadline is fast approaching they do medicals wherever the player happens to be.

Not ever having done a medical for a tier 1 club (or tier2, or tier 3...damn it I'll just admit it I never done one for any club!), does anybody know what is actually involved? Is it kinda like a usual GP visit, cough a few times and then run around a bit to check their knees don't explode (the player not the doctor!) or is it more detailed than that?

probably fighting a losing battle there:

"he only club I would leave for are Real Madrid. If they don't come calling, I don't leave.

"My grandfather, the dad of my mum, always wished that I would play in Spain. Two years ago, when he died, I promised him that someday I will play for Real - and I work hard to reach that goal.

"Real Madrid is my main goal but at the moment I like it here. If there is a chance to go to Madrid, I will immediately say yes - but at the moment there is no contact."

Luke Chadwick: 2002

Aubameyang: 2016

But seriously, he said that, pretty inevitable he will end up there, if not this season, next.

As far as i know there is definitely a Stress test involved anyways, stamina, heart conditions, Lung Capacity, conditions of joints and muscles etc., loads of X-Rays and MRI's etc.

They do go on for hours all the same.

You can pass a medical while injured if the doctor feels the injury will heel full and have no affect on the players career

Aubameyang said it is his dream to play for Real Madrid as his father is from Avila in Spain I think he said it was, and they are Real Madrid fans.
But he is staying in Dortmund by all accounts for this season.

Good player but wouldn't be first choice at madrid unless he improves drastically. I think they signed him to earn a profit more so then to use him.
