You guys have likely nabbed a great deal there.

He may be abit limited with the ball for a top 4 club.

Then again. Tom fucking Cleverly.

 

[kharma45]

He can play wing but he fucking shouldn't. If we'd brought in Herrera and Fellaini I'd have been confident that we were changing our system to a three man midfield and playing Kagawa more often, but now we're just swapping Cleverley for Fellaini. It's a massive upgrade, but it just means we go in with fucking Young every fucking game.

Coentrao on the wing (if it happen), believe.

He may be abit limited with the ball for a top 4 club.

Then again. Tom fucking Cleverly.

He'd still be better than yeah Clev or Jones.

if I was a united shareholder I'd be asking real questions about how woodward was allowed to be ceo

The share price dropped when shareholders realised that United would spend money on players over the summer.

They are absolutely clueless.

 

[Willkiller]

So Martinez just had a better window at Everton than Moyes ever did

 

[K1LLER7]

Some saying Coentrao not gone through due to fax failure.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Where's Powell gone?

Arsenal kept waiting by Chelsea on Ba - until it was too late to sign another striker

I don't buy it. We just didn't want to pay and didn't have other targets in mind (probably because there really aren't any).

 

[LanceVance]

Where's Powell gone?

Wigan

 

[Salazar]

Haaaaaa

No Coentrao. Thank god,

 

[Freewheelin']

Oh shit I have an unprinted Arsenal home kit. Ozil is going on that shit ASAP.

DO IT.

Going to buy an away shirt with his name on, is SoccerTriads still around?

United don't have shareholders, they are privately owned by the Glazers, who love Woodward.

Bullshit. Carletto convinced him to stay.

Great final day for Everton by the way.

Where's Powell gone?

Wigan for a year

I'm still deliberating between long sleeve or short sleeve. Damnit.

Recap: fellaini release clause £24m. Initial baines & fellaini double bid £28m. Final Fellaini price £27.5m #planning #strategy

Woodward is an absolute joke.

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

what am i missing here?

 

[MrPing1000]

United don't have shareholders, they are privately owned by the Glazers, who love Woodward. (they did do a sharefloat thingy but those didn't give any decision making powers to those that bought them)

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

what am i missing here?

it expired at end of July.

We thought we could get someone better in.

We were wrong.

 

[jtb]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

It expired a couple weeks ago. Same thing happened with us and Mata, which is why he plays for Chelsea now.

 

[Broder Salsa]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

Release clause was only active until a certain date, to allow Everton to buy a replacement in case a club wanted him

 

[Dibbz]

Would be the absolute best time for Arsenal to give Wenger a new contract. Get on it fuckers.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

"There's a suspicion that Madrid have learned their attempts to get Siqueira didn't make it, in which case they would not want Coentrao to leave and therefore will attempt to argue the United bid was too late.

"Complications complications...if you must leave it until the last three minutes when you've had three months, this is what can happen.

 

[Carbonox]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

Woodward forgot his glasses and Everton didn't want to miss out on dat Lukaku loan fee.

 

[JonnyBrad]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

It expired in July and the Man U CEO is a moron.

 

[bud]

merci.

 

[TrueBlue]

I thought that might have been the reason, Tossers.

With Lukaku gone we needed to keep him. Tough luck.

This is what we get for doing everything on Deadline Day, months of being 'active' on the market and we couldn't even sign a new one even on loan, and we're stuck with Bendtner.

 

[D_prOdigy]

not getting Coentrao would be positive news at this point

this is what it has come to

"Coentrao still at Madrid. Fact, not opinion". From @Manu_Sainz

 

[LanceVance]

Come back David Gill. I miss you

 

[ringwaldhaze]

Aye. None of us defending this.

And we fucking loaned Powell. He could have fucking stayed and got the odd run.

If you didn't loan Powell to Wigan, you probably wouldn't have got Fellaini.

 

[Jarnet87]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

It expired in July IIRC. Moyes likely didn't want to trigger it out of respect to his former club, and because he's a fucking moron.

 

[K1LLER7]

Start of the summer, I would've been happy with just fellani but fuck its really underwhelming.

Woodwards made a joke out of tge club this summer. Will probably keep his position too.

 

[Arnie]

Given that we strengthened our weakest areas (defence and goalkeeper) and kept Suarez, I'd say we had a better window than Spurs, personally. Although I'm definitely biased beyond belief. And I've yet to see how Lamela and Eriksen do.

 

[Milchmonster]

Coentrao gets too much shit here. He looked great in the few Portugal and Benfica matches I've seen, albeit I must admit he's been really terrible at Madrid. The talent is there and a move away from Madrid can only help him.

However, surprising move by United. Don't think they need a LB right now, however, Evra is getting old and this might be a great chance to get a good LB. If Coentrao plays like he did at Madrid, send him back. If he plays well, sign him for cheap. That is if United was smart enough to include an option to buy, what they might not have done...

 

[Wilbur]

How the fuck did the Herrera situation even happen?

What the fuck was the deal with the imposters? I don't even fucking get it.

 

[Broder Salsa]

If you didn't loan Powell to Everton, you probably wouldn't have got Fellaini.

That was just Pep paying for Barca not to reveal his doping methods.

Damn. All those Isco shirts, so shitty if true.

 

[Dibbz]

I thought that might have been the reason, Tossers.

Wenger said he will not panic buy. Ba was most likely bottom of the list. Didn't manage to get him then that was it. We will make do with the current squad till January.

 

[Scum]

i don't understand. if his release clause is 24m, then why have they paid 3.5m more?

That's what happens when a club is desperate for a player on deadline day.
It's all Woodward's fault.

 

[Plasma]

Arsenal pls, trying to order Ozil 11 shirt and your site keeps breaking.

 

[Salazar]

If you didn't loan Powell to Everton, you probably wouldn't have got Fellaini.

He went to Wigan. Keep up.

 

[PaulLFC]

How can a valuation of a buyout clause be wrong? It's a fucking buyout clause. It's a fixed amount.

 

[dc89]

Anyway, good night everyone. This has been special.
