Didn't realise you were so sensitive to criticism of Ed No need to be offended it is just a report carried by a number of paps with all that that implies, you can take it or leave it - it wont hurt you
According to Paul Hirst of the times Conte will be in for Lukaku once he takes over Inter. Ideally we would recoup the £75 million we paid for him but I don’t think Inter has that kind of money.
******** Ed Woodward. What bothers me the most is you continually posting rubbish sources with rubbish stories. Also just because the independent ran with it, doesnt mean anything. There have been plenty of other big news outlets caught up sourcing rags. Wont be first or last.
This ones for @Sofabloke. Madrid and Zidane hoped Woody would come in and over pay for Bale. The entire football world knows how shit he is at his job. http://sportwitness.co.uk/war-real-madrid-transfer-situation-turns-complete-mess/
If UK sources like Metro, Independent & Manchester Evening News (although all dubious like all uk paps) dont meet your journalistic standards and bother your sensitivities, then maybe the summer transfer thread is something you should avoid. There is never much fact here, only speculation and ultimately disappointment and pain ....
Accepting that the Metro, MEN and other such sources are dubious is a given in the transfer thread. But you expect some base level of intelligence and judgement when then commenting on a story. I say you, I mean we.
The difference here is knowledgeable posters and forum veterans dont usually engage in this childish behavior. Its not about the media, journalists etc its about your decision to be petty.
Then make a case and disagree .... or just pile-on Ed has a history of low-balling and it costing us IMO. I hope the story on AWB is guff and we make the deal and get his and others signings done quickly - as Ole says he wants the signings done by 1 July - so we get a proper pre-season. We’ll see how signings such as AWB pan-out soon. I genuinely hope he gets things done next 6 weeks. Would take having some sanity next season from an improved squad over a minor win in a petty squabble
Then you really are shit out of luck. Have more self respect than this. We're all pissed off at Ed but using obviously false rumours and hopeless logic to keep an anti-Woodward meltdown going across multiple threads is moronic.
It may be a false story, most of the stuff printed is If you are sensitive to criticism of Ed, then fine. If you dont want to discuss/debate, fine also. Didnt intend to upset you.
Manchester United will give Daniel James and his family time and space before completing his transfer due to the sudden passing of his father. An agreement is still in place with Swansea but he will be given as much time as he needs. (Source: Daily Mail) pic.twitter.com/OOHuYwTqG1— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) May 22, 2019
Manchester United 'offered the chance to sign' Kevin Strootman #mufc https://t.co/XiYCa4iMJR— Man United News (@ManUtdMEN) May 23, 2019
Alright, time to curb this bullshit early since this summer is sure to be a mess anyway. Manchester Evening News are a garbage source that know nothing.

Wasn't intended to be serious - that is why the 'offered to sign' was in quotes as he is an ageing crock
I wasn't aiming it just at you, I know what you were going for. More just a general guideline for everyone to use.
We have supposedly signed 16 year old Dillon Hoogewerf. Either footed attacker who can play each of front three roles apparently. Would post some sources, but they are all on the banned list Confirmation he is leaving from Ajax. Translation: Saïd Ouaali: "Ultimately, he can make the choice, and he chooses a foreign adventure" Success in the future, Dillon! Saïd Ouaali: 'Uiteindelijk mag hij de keuze maken, en hij kiest voor een buitenlands avontuur'Succes in de toekomst, Dillon! 🤝 pic.twitter.com/KBHhpBi8oC— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) May 23, 2019
