August 22, 20168 yr Blackett is a good move. Anyone who's followed his development with us couldn't possibly make a case for him to stay. CBJ had a few moments last year so will be interested to see how that one pans out in terms of him returning to us. Phil Jones and Rojo both need to go ideally but we'll be left criminally low on defenders if the Fonte deal doesn't get over the line.
August 22, 20168 yr I must say though, and I thought the same when Bruce was sniffing round at Hull, a loan deal for a 24 year old with the injury record of a fucking gingerbread man is a strange one for us. Can't be much interest in the lad if we're resorting to that.
August 22, 20168 yr Yeah but to be fair Jones and Rojo are so useless that if we start running low we'd be better switching to three at the back or dropping Carrick in or dragging up Axel from the u23's that resorting to either of them. A loan would at least give him a chance to show he's not entirely useless. You're right though, he's insanely fragile especially for a 24 yr old.
August 22, 20168 yr Axel came out with a horror for the first goal v Southampton for the U23s tonight. On paper it sounds nice but he's still a long way from ready to fit in a potential championship winning side. I guess maybe I'm a bit cynical when it comes to Jones. If he has a successful spell then it could be good for Hull/Stoke/whoever and Jones himself, just can't see it benefitting us. Then again I've had my mind made up for the past two years that he's never going to make it at United.
August 22, 20168 yr I've spent the past two years hurling abuse at him whenever his name even appears on screen, even just to say he's injured again! I'm right there with you. MEN's Man U reporter was full of glowing praise for Axel tonight, although he does have questionable judgement. The other day he claimed that United Fans would be embarrassed by the fact they deservedly booed Felliani after the Community Shield
August 23, 20168 yr Samuel Luckhurst? Sadly I'm serving what seems to be a lifetime blocking on Twitter from him :(
August 23, 20168 yr That's the one! I can't decide if I like him coz I get the latest United goss ahead of the transfer window shutting or if I hate him because otherwise he's full of shit What did you do to get blocked?!
August 23, 20168 yr He's an absolute weapon. It involved me questioning his unwavering anti-Rooney policy iirk. I'm also blocked by the RoM account too but that wasn't a big loss. I just don't seem to MIX WELL with 'top reds'. In a surprising twist of fate Duncan Castles is probably your go-to man for United transfer updates now. He's Mourinho's main media outlet so the bulk of breaking news trickles down through his account first and most of what he reports at least has a shred of something to it.
August 24, 20168 yr Probable rumours of Phil Jones possibly moving to either Arsenal or Stoke City. And Bony moving to West Ham United.
August 24, 20168 yr Bony is the complete antithesis of what Manchester City have been trying to create for themselves over the past 5 seasons in terms of both creative imagery and style of play. Granted he's a proven Premier League goalscorer but £30m quoted for a striker who won't get a sniff with Aguero/Jovetic/Dzeko fit is stupider than any Scott Sinclair or Javi Garcia deal they've come up with in the past. I'm all for enhancing your chances for a title battle as much as possible if funds are available but seriously. Wilfried Bony. Manchester City. Fucking hell. As someone who had that ^ to say when Bony moved to City, I reckon he could do a job for West Ham.
August 24, 20168 yr He's probably in it for a six month loan to get a few goals and crank up his wages for a move to China in January. Would be a very useful signing but Zaza interests me more, penalty antics aside.
August 24, 20168 yr Zaza would, he's a better player. But in terms of what's left on the market now and the shift he'd put in for you, you don't really need to look much further. He'd be an excellent acquisition (albeit the question mark hanging over how long he'd stay). I don't think any of us will live to see Andy Carroll have a full season fit again.
August 29, 20168 yr http://e1.365dm.com/16/08/16-9/20/oliver-burke-red-bull-leipzig_3774753.jpg :cry: :cry: :cry:
August 30, 20168 yr In brief from yesterday: Chadli to West Brom for £11m Boufal to Southampton for £16m Okaka to Watford for an undisclosed fee. Joe Hart looks set to have an medical at Torino.
August 30, 20168 yr Jonathan Kodjia has signed for Aston Villa from Bristol City for £11m upfront, potentially rising to £15m. Sad to see him leave but that sort of money is hard to turn down. Of course I would have preferred he signed for a Premiership club rather than a Championship club.
