Tony's Tweets

Who has criticised it on Twitter - rival fans or our own over 40's ?

I resent the implication - being over 65 - I thought it was quite funny.

There are some really po-faced, stick-up-their-rear-end people on this thread........oh well...

I'm not bothered by it, apart from as a club I think we're coming across as a bit starstruck. The club, and some fans (see that tattoo) are behaving like i'd expect someone like Torquay would. Or at least I think they are. And i'd think that even if I was in favour of us signing him.

The tattoo was kind of a bet.  He'd said on twitter there was no way Terry would join us and if he did he'd get his name tattooed on his arse.  Fair play to him for going through with it.

I know the chap who got the tattoo and that's exactly what happened.

Well remove the tattoo element from my post but imo the rest still stands.

Tone hinting Vertout could stay if the right offer doesn't come in and he wants to play. Better option than Whelan surely

I saw that but immediately thought it a negotiating tactic.
I just can't see Veretout fighting for us in the Championship - he was too unhappy with us.

[Matt Collins]

Yeh def a negotiating tactic

Not likely to be that influential

Seeing the reaction generally around the net about the announcement with that WhatsApp feed, I now think it was a good move - at first a bit surprised. I am a big fan of FC Bayern's social media department, who make a lot of jokes about themselves and they seem very successful in that area. Therefor I am applauding them for this.

Aw shucks.

Whelan would kick the grizzling moaner all over the park.  If he doesn't want to play for the best football club God ever invented, then bugger off!!

Dr Tony has tweeted cryptically about Joe Hart saying "you gotta have Heart" & "Stand by me"
Could this be true & that would explain why Johnstone is not on board yet.

Excellent tweet, engagement of the fan base and amusing. I am a grouchy old fecker but it made me smile, blimey it's just a bit of fun. As long as we don't have a team band and a fanfare when we score I'm happy.

Another old feck agrees with you Frank.

Most of the Mancs up here who have mentioned it to me seem to be a bit bemused that we would not want him. Tactically, the right player for 1 season. We need a leader on the pitch more than we need a centre half. Whether or not Terry will prove that is to be seen, but a logical choice. For the record, I would rather he went somewhere else and think we are taking a risk in three main ways: Reputation-if he spouts his racist shit or shags the club mascot; he may get injured easily; he may get sent off a few times as he will be an obvious target. He is also a lot slower and will need the nous of Lord McG to prove his worth.

I agree with most of that except the bit about God.  He doesn't exist.
