I wish theyd just announced it already

Those black vans are at least £40k and the driver is probably on £200 a day all in so we’re up to £180,045,200 when you include the medical.

If you allowed for fuel he nearly wouldn’t be worth the money.

Romero doesnt look pleased

Lord TSC

Oh wow, thats out of nowhere. Thrilled. There'd been talks of him wanting out.

Worth noting that there's stories today that Kepa to Real has fallen through so expect the pesky "DDG to Real" stories to start cropping up again, especially now we've tied Romero down.

Another word on Miki, he has carried himself with class throughout. A model pro and someone young players should look to with how to conduct themselves when things are not working out.

Off the field perhaps, but professionalism applies on the field as well and so I'd find it hard to call him a model pro in that regard.

Every player has bad spells, whats important is that they keep chipping away, working hard, concentrating on the basics and getting through it. I didn't see that from Mkhitaryan, he appeared to be a player who went to pot completely and some of his performances were shocking.

You aren't wrong in that he kept his mouth shut publicly, but I don't know that I would want any young players looking to him for what to do when they lose some form.

That tweet is from 2015, no? Am I missing something?

Especially seeing as the driver is Ray Donovan,he doesn't come cheap.

He played badly, I think it is very harsh to say that's down to a lack of professionalism or effort.

He was extremely professional throughout his time at United, working his way back in with no moaning last season and Tring to do the same this season. Poor performances weren't down to him not trying. You can argue mental fragility but that isn't a lack of professionalism.

Announcing Romero is a masterful Zerks

Alexis Fcuking Sanchez.

For what it's worth I think Miki will be a different player at Arsenal, Will really suit them.

Yeah that's fair enough, I take your point on the on the field stuff and how you see it, my comment is purely about how he handled himself off the field. No moaning or throwing strops just kept his head down and kept working, he must have done or he wouldn't have played at all.

His on the field performances I don't put down to a lack of effort or professionalism either I would say though. Sometimes it just doesn't work, for various reasons.

I'd actually be apprehensive of buying Dortmund players in the future funnily enough. Miki though didn't excel under klopp either more tunnel in his season which would be more like how Wenger sets his teams up so o wouldn't count him out. Bringing in aubemayang could be a stroke of genius there if it comes off they worked very well together

Swap daily blind for ozil would be another win win for both clubs...... honest.

Wenger would ask for Bailly. He'd get nobody and we'd take Ozil on a free.

Is Ozil on a free this summer?

He could ask but would be told to get ****ed. Wasn't there a rumour he asked for Shaw in the Sanchez swap.

Sports journalism has changed. In the days of newspapers people would choose who they read because of the quality of the writing. I even bought the Daily Mail because Ian Wooldridge was such a good writer.

Now it's all about click bait. Your editor won't be happy if you express any praise for the most hated team

Can we have Bale or Griezman instead?

Totally agree but also we can choose who we want to read now to a certain extent. I blocked Manchester evening news over the weekend I use to like them over the years but now they are just pure clickbate links.

Is there any forum or blog people like for descent sports news in general? Not just on United but good written articles on all sports?? Or does it exist?

Yes but by all means it looks like he is shifting towards staying with arsenal now.

I think Sanchez is the end if any pursuit for a player like bale, griezman or Ronaldo. Next attacking signing will be a player like ozil or, possibly, a central midfielder that frees Pogba to just run where ever he wants

I would see Griezman and Ozil as playing in essentially the same position.

I would stop short of calling it a lack of professionalism, and indeed he must have some level of effort there for Mourinho to keep periodically giving him chances.

But when a player has such obvious capability, but then repeatedly fails to even come anywhere close to performing to that level on the field then you do have to wonder. Which is why I would also stop short of calling him a model pro, I don't think model pro's allow themselves to fall so far in terms of performance.

Griezmann might be Barca bound. Still can't decide if I'd want Bale or not. Cost a fortune, rarely fit but a good player.

Hococop

I know it's still early in the game but Madrid are losing again, I'd say they will spend ridiculous money this summer especially if psg knock them out

yabadabado

I think the next piece of the jigsaw should be a cm.Matic sitting deep with Pogba left and new cm on the right of a 3 man midfield.

Carrick is gone in the summer and Fellaini most likley going as well.reinforcements needed badly .
