Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

[LeeB]

We will likely hear a lot more of this nonsense in the run up to Sunday. Man U have always leaked these kind of "links" before their games.

Good news is that they paid nearly £300 million for Maguire, Wan-Bissaka and Pogba, so we could demand at least £8 trillion for either McGinn or Grealish. Let alone both.

They could do with a left back, a £62m bid for Neil Taylor could get them to the negotiating table.

£62 million for Taylor and I'd even consider throwing Hogan in to sweeten the deal.

Ha, ha 👍

TalkSport, Jesus wept, just said that McGinn and Grealish have been linked to a move away!!! Maybe last year they were, but we have a win on tv yesterday and they are already stirring it up.

Links these days seem to be Tweets and and wishful thinking on fans forums. The asking price for these 2 will be astronomical.

The reason it's  called Talkshite is because it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Thing you always have to remember is people talk about coming and getting our best players the same way as we talk about going and getting theirs
it’s the nature of the transfer market

sometimes it happens a lot of the time it doesn’t

[LeeB]

There are many things to take issue with over Talkshite, but the worst for me is that arrogant, know nothing Cockney Red gobshite Andy Goldstein, the poster boy for thick as shit, gloryhunting banter merchants.

ha ha, couldn’t agree more absolute toss basket
him and Cundy together represent all things shit about well everything

Dembele would be like a better version of Benteke, but he's already known as a talent and I don't think we'd have much chance of signing him. Vargas maybe? Just playing fantasy footy now...

[cdbearsfan]

We already have good players. If we want to improve we need to be targeting insanely dead brilliant players I reckon. For a striker in that category, you're looking at £40 million plus, unless we could entice someone like Cavani near the end of his career. He could be the signing that Nilis should have been. If it's between us and some nonsense team like Los Angeles Super Ducks or New York Green Pants, it might be worth, at least, enquiring.

I mostly agree, the other option is to go for someone that is highly rated but that none of the CL clubs are ready to go for yet. I think 2-3 of our summer signings were in that group.

Remember our mantra though, buy young, sell later for billions. Cavani doesn't fit that bill. 

[Dante Lavelli]

I’d prefer the Dembele model because it is more sustainable however Zlatan fits the bill for an ageing mega-signing.  Not sure whether his contract has expired or if he is available on a Keane loan deal from LA Galaxy.

[themossman]

Assume it’s been covered extensively above but I’d have Mitrivoc in a blink, even if I do hate him,

[CT Villan]

Well let's get Gareth Bale in on a loan to buy then, sorted !

[cdbearsfan]

I wouldn't mind that... 😀
