Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Apparently the document was received at 12.01!

MUFC claiming it was done on time. Spanish press claiming MUFC did it on purpose.


Now we are hearing that United did send the documents on time but in a format that couldn't be opened at the LFP.

XBOX games that stop every 30 seconds to allow you to buy the next scene - just as soon as the sponsor's meaningful messages have run their 20 minute course. It all sounds ridiculous but look at football, look at so many sports. If we had jumped straight to this parody without all the small steps in between there would be uproar. But by the little steps people get led along and eventually every obscenity is commonplace. People who give a shit need to stick around not disappear.

Problem they have is Navas was coming the other way as part of the deal. Double whammy.

Still think it will be quietly wrangled and the deal will go through though.

How good is this Navas fella?

And yeah, I imagine it'll cross the line by the morning, happens all the time here

He was ace for Costa Rica in the WC and Copa, don't know anything about him at Madrid though.

Just saw the John Cross Oxlade to Gala rumours

:haha:

LMAO!

Our big deal is so secret that not a newspaper, TV station, Twatter or anyone has got wind of it. Absolute silence everywhere.

He's going as part of the Monreal deal and Alexis is off too and so is his mum.

I think the people with a true passion that go to home and away games aren't as disillusioned with football. If they were having these sorts of discussions, i'd tell them straight face to face...what are you doing? It's utter madness to invest so much money into something you abhor and know full well it's ending up in some suits pocket. Especially if it's something you can just about afford. It's not that serious and I think most people are wise enough to walk away and just settle for highlights or streams if it's too heavy on the wallets. That's why I think the comparisons are OTT. It's not like a gas bill or train fares where there is no choice at all.

You are wildly missing the point here. You've just managed to completely bring it back full circle. With that, I'm oot.

Stick around and pay for it all? Isn't that how the system works?

Marca (aka RM FC) saying the United documents were password protected :lol:

Anyways, let's hope we can announce a few players in this thread tomorrow

Doubtful though.

WUMger :getcoat:

It's how it works right now, but you know my views on these things and my suggested remedies.

It's gotten to the point now where I think anybody who suggests a player is linked to Arsenal is a troll! You got to love Wenger, he has millions of Arsenal fans worldwide sitting here absolutely desperate for a signing, we're like a bunch of junkies clucking for a hit on the crack pipe.

Maybe I am but when you say you can find solace in Tennis and Athletics, you're demonstrating my point. It's an alternative. It's a choice.

Well no, not really. It's all about what you can stomach. Just because a number of sports have become corporate playgrounds, it doesn't mean you'll find purity elsewhere. That certainly doesn't exist. And even if you can somehow find that in today's world, it won't be long before that is chewed up too. The only choices you have are which of the lesser evils you are currently willing to turn your face from before they eventually become too large to ignore. Every form of entertainment over the past thirty years has slowly been placed into this vice-like grip where it isn't merely about paying for the services you desire like a good citizen. It's forcing you to pay over and above what is needed just to see the bare minimum, bleeding your pockets dry in the process. The best part is, you are made to feel as if we are in a revolutionary system where we get to pick and choose what we want when we want it. Depending on which side of the fence you sit, that is either supreme selling or deceit of the highest order.

It isn't ridiculous at all. Little by little, each silent step at a time and before you know we are left without any sort of real option that doesn't feel it isn't being imposed upon by some fucker trying to dip his hand into our pocket when we're not looking.

So Arsene...anyone? :unsure:

I thought he did ok last season. Had a shocker in our last game though.

Am I right in thinking that because our window is still open until 6pm then we could technically still be able to buy playa's from any league?

I use the term 'buy' loosley of course.

Yeah lol

Apparently Wenger is on holiday in Paris though.

Cavani is just a smokescreen for his holiday.

I'm guessing a big signing is ruled out though as the foreign clubs can't now get any replacements.

Rumour alert. Pato is following us on Twitter and open to a move. Only 25 years old.

Pato is absolute sh*t, one of the most overrated footballers, the fact he got packed off to Brazil by Milan tells you what you need to know, hasn't done well in Brazil either.

I'd be surprised if we got anyone decent now given all European clubs can no longer sign replacements, really don't understand why any club would leave most of their business so late, it's nonsensical it really is.

It's on Wenger's head though, unless he pulls off something miraculous he's totally failed the club this summer.

Then he will smoothly fit right in there along with Giroud, Walcott and Sanogo.

Nothing happening today fellas, apparently we contacted Leicester about Marhez but were told politely to f--k off.
