Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2017

You may its a pointless statistic but alot of his goals comes when he starts games too or it looks by his detailed stats too that he has scored the deciding goal in a few one goal wins.



Im not gonna say he is the best striker In the world or he is worth a world record fee but if united can get him for the right money he will score goals.

If I was a saints fan id want them to sell to one of pools rivals to sicken them haha. I don't think we are in the market for a world record fee for a center back. Ah Keane or lindleoff for half that money will do us it's one place where I'd say we need quality in numbers more so then superstar signings.

Sign Virgil just outta spite!
He would be a good squad option.

He'd be more than a sqaud option, he's quality but obviously, it would have that added feel good factor getting him knowing how much Liverpool wanted him.

Maybe or maybe just not to Liverpool. I'd say Southampton view Liverpool the same way Dortmund view Munich these days.

Any decent player that comes along is taken by them.

I'm sure most if not all players are tapped up these days. Was surprised to see the story braking in this day and age to be honest.

I think it was to do with the media brief from Liverpool saying they were signing him, while Southampton had not agreed to anything and were looking for 60 million from city.

Would expect the same reporting if United made same mistake with a Prem League club. Tend to get away with more with foreign transfers.

I'd be shocked if bids are put in without some idea the player has an interest.

I think the big difference in the pool story is that klopp flirted with him directly and this was seemingly the big persuasive factor in it.

Usually manager does not talk to the player they talk to the agent who talks to the player and that's hard to prove as tapping up.

Fergie talked to tons of players, all managers do. Southampton got the hump because the press were reporting it as done (the local itk press not the national media morons) when they weren't close to accepting the bid. Surprised they made a big deal out of it but really the transfer activity itself is nothing out of the ordinary. Compared to what Barca do to Arsenal players or even what Real were doing re: DDG its nothing.

Liverpool having recently got banned from academy signings may have played here too - couldn't afford another guilty call

There the club that just keeps on giving. Having a right chuckle now :pac:

jayo26

Liverpool fans are taking solace in the fact that they actually won the race to sign him its just a pity for them he will end up somewhere else it's a bit like winning the league in October...... Nearly had him lads.

DARK-KNIGHT

lads I swear to god only for times with laughing at Liverpool the recession would have been a very dark place lol

thank you Liverpool you never fail to make me laugh

yabadabado

Be all Southamptons fault next May when they dont win the league.

Is it an English thing though? Players are routinely tapped up on the continent. Even their managers do it more openly than their UK counterparts. Hell I remember Ashley Cole saying he and his agent had dinner in a top London restaurants with Jose months before signing for Chelsea. No care in the world shown there by the manager.

Tapping up is done all the time, Greizmann was asked months ago and probably agreed verbally to the move until the transfer ban appeal rejection. No club is going to bid multiple millions for a player, get the bid accepted and only then find out the player himself has no interest in moving.

The_Kew_Tour

Listen Im 100% certain United have done the same and I actually feel bit sorry for Liverpool in a sense as I don't think they have done anything major wrong.

But its the imagine of them being such a lovely innocent butter would not melt in their mouth type club that I will giggle at.

There was a huge deal made over that Cole / mourinho meeting.

Look lads there's a reason the agents get the money. They broker the transfers. You can't talk (or at least caught talking) directly to the player which is apparently what they have done.

Its an FA law rather then a FIFA/UEFA from memory.

They were stupid enough not to adhere to the well established forms and traditions and managed to get caught tapping up in an era where anyone can get away with tapping a player up. They deserve every bit of derision coming their way.

Trigger

Ignore the Headline saying we are choosing Morata over Greizmann, its a decent read though

This is why its absolutely hilarious :pac:

Hilarious happenings elsewhere.

Absolutely hilarious.

For the fans that get annoyed with our sometime ineptitude in the transfer market just read about the shyt show at LFC towers.

Best transfer story of the summer so far.

Mitch Connor wrote: »

I remember alright but the point I am making is it's much more accepted as normal transfer procedure on the continent whereas in England it's a big no-no. It's still done there, just not as open usually as what happened to VVD.

Would absolutely love to go and sign Van Dijk now. He fits Mourinho's prototype of a CB perfectly, tall, strong, fast. He's a dominant defender and I think him and Bailly would be a great aggressive partnership. The fact that Liverpool made an utter balls is just the icing on the cake. I would be surprised if we weren't interested in him and were targeting someone like Michael Keane instead.

Lord TSC

Wasn't there stories a few days back that Jose and Morata are in daily communications?

You'd think given the number of deals done between Pool and Southampton that they'd have a big red phone between them at this stage. That Klopp apparently decided to mess around with a club they have such a good relationship with is hilarious.

As if Real are going to complain about one of their players being tapped up :pac:

It's a FA rule afaik, rather than FIFA/Uefa.
