Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2018 pt3

The_Kew_Tour

Tomorrow is the 50th Anniversary of one of the greatest stories in football. Don't forget it. It's why many of us support the Club we love.

And anyone walking into work with that extra spring this morning

Something else I noticed on the bale rumours was that it was said here last night Madrid wanted 200 million for Bale.

It looks like this came from the way the press report Manchester United transfers... it's seemingly united want to put together a 200 million deal for him so that includes transfer fee and wages and agent eyeball rolled into one so of it was another club singing him it would be a 100 million deal.

Another "one rule for United, another for everyone else"

Craig Norwaood, club photographer, has started following Fred on Instagram. Usually only does so when he's getting ready to snap their pictures

Just on this, Brazil are in the UK at the moment as they are playing in Anfield on Friday I think.. I’d say we will see it announced in the near day or 2

It tells you just how far out of the loop I have been with all the 8th amendment stuff. I thought we were targeting the striker Fred on the cheap.

Retired. It was a good gag but it's time has long past. To be honest, I feel myself becoming more vocal on matters of team selection, tactics and overall performance. I wish to contribute to the thread in a manner that is not extremely two dimensional.

Nothing United related but that reminded me of the last time I thought about Bebo.

Was in a crowded room, everyone working away on their laptops and computers. I was bored and didn't feel like doing any work so decided to just browse the internet. Then remembered Bebo and said I'd try log into my old account, see if it still worked. Facebook had truly taken over at this point.

Luckily I used same password and email, I know not the smartest, and got in. Just as I was scrolling through my loves a friend walked by and stopped. He looked down at my screen and blurted out "Are you on ****ing Bebo?"

There were a lot of grins and laughing while people glanced over at my direction. Ever since I have stayed clear of Bebo, or at least accessed it behind closed doors.

If United don't unveil Fred by him dressing as Fred the Red I am done with the club.

We need more goals and a fit Bale brings a lot of goals, and classy goals too.

Would they have signed Sanchez if they thought there was any chance of getting Bale? I don't think so personally.

I don't understand the reasoning behind this view?

Sanchez, brilliant player, can play centrally but is predominately a LW.

Bale, brilliant player, can play centrally but is predominately a RW.

Why would signing Sanchez in January have any indication on whether or not we have a chance of signing Bale now? I don't see why us pouncing on the chance to get a brilliant player who plays on the LW implies that we think there is not chance of us getting a brilliant player on the RW during this window. I really don't understand this point of view. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here.

Simon Stone says that Spurs actually have an option on Bale that they can match any offer accepted, but (obviously) won't be doing so, due to the unrealistic fee and wages that Bale will command.

I find that hard to believe - don't Ferrari generally only sell their new cars to a select group of people - and if you can't afford it you are not gonna be in that group.

How does that even work, in any meaningful sense?

If Madrid accept an offer then Spurs have an option to match that offer? Well what was stopping them doing that anyway?

Fcuk knows.

I suppose, one thing would be Real can't sell Bale without Spurs being made aware and being offered to make an offer.

I would assume his agent will be shopping him everywhere if he is being sold but at the same time I would guess clubs would like htings to be done quietly, so the less competition the better.

Spurs have to be informed of any accepted bid and be given time to match it. Kinda pointless but has some small amount of merit.

Ah hardly. Was a throwaway comment without really looking at what he was doing. Probably has people giving him shìt all the time, easy slip up. Be looking for something to be offended by to go make anything of that.

In the presser post match it was said that Spurs have a buy back clause at a set price should Real sell him.

Two things. One; he had to have known what that picture is for. And two; if you're a minor celebrity who relies on press gigs to pay the bills, don't say or do stupid ****. From Big Ron to Jamie Carragher, overly emotional types who can't keep their mouths and emotions in check tend to always fall into this trap.

Why?

If I glanced at that picture on a profile I wouldn't have a clue what it was supposed to be, just looks like a bee or something, and clearly something to do with Oasis because of the words.

Not everybody knows every social media slacktivist meme out there.

The worker bee was a symbol of Manchester long before social media and became even more powerful after the terror attack last year. He was being a numpty and that was it.
Imagine one of our ex players laughing at JFT96.

It's not a slactivist meme. My company has an office in Manchester and has it up in their foyer because a couple of their people were affected by the event. People directly affected by it seem to be using it as a symbol. I'd be highly surprised that he didn't know.

Irrespective of this anyway, and the main thrust of my argument, ex-pros need to learn how to ignore the **** on twitter if they want to be able to continue eking out a living in the press. Reacting like a child becauese @ScouseTommy called you a name is hugely idiotic at this stage. They have many hung, drawn and quartered examples to learn from.

You guys know it, I'm sure lots of people know it. Maybe he knew what it represented as well.

But I didn't know it and had never even seen it before, so its hard for me to get worked up about somebody else who plausibly didn't know it either.

To be fair he has come out and apologised there last couple of hours. Least he admitted it. So fair play him. Heat of moment stuff we all done it.
