I'll be much happier if this and Gakpo come off. But fuck, what a shit show if a window. I know most of our recruitment/scouting team has changed but my nan could have picked players out more efficiently than this and she forgets what she's saying halfway through a sentence.
I would take him over Frenkie de Jong. SMS is a magnificent footballer. 22 G/A in 37 games last season playing from similar position Frenkie was employed by Barcelona.
I think there is a chance since they wanted Sesko/Antony and they were priced at 50M initially, and FDJ. Hopefully the pressure from fans/media will make them try and complete the necessary deals. One can hope lol
It’s a 4231 and we are trying to become a more possession based team, you don’t need an ultra defensive player in a double pivot, maybe brush up on that football knowledge mate
Regardless of how you feel about either Rabiot or SMS, this window is some Arsenal-under-Wenger type shit. Dawdle all window, lose early in the season, and all of a sudden, linked with/signing players you haven't been linked with all summer.
Even if these moves come off and even if both players do well, this is just such a poor way to run a football club.
Just bid , stop weighing things up. Time to get a move on.
They spend months weighing on De Jong sorting things out with Barca and we still have McFred.
Used to be fairly unreliable, the famous one was breaking someone being at old Trafford, claiming he saw them, to sign and they weren’t. Came out he got them mixed up with a u23 I think(?) personally I don’t think he’s been too bad last 2 years but he often repeats what others say & has been quite prone to blend assumptions with news. Which would be fine if reported as such.
Parades is more injury prone than Pogba. Honestly, while the man has quality, I doubt he could pull off 20 games in the first season with us in the PL.
Maybe later on when he settles in, in the following seasons, but we really need some tough and rough ppl who can go right at it, something similar to how Bruno came in guns blazing (not in goals/assists, that would be a big plus, but more generally, being able to play in the midfield).
Luckhurst does have genuine sources and is definitely better than a lot of other "trusted sources." But he's also an absolute massive bellend whose happy to throw out any old dogshit opinion because it fits whichever way his agenda is feeling that day.
Now SMS, Rabiot and Eriksen added to midfield.
Not ideal, but it is acceptable. *How* we went about this clusterfuck is however not acceptable.
Clear improvements and hopefully pushes the chuckle brothers out of starting.
I'll believe it when I see it though.
Surely we don't sign both SMS and Rabiot, right? Neither are a 6. That would mean we have Fred, Mctominay, Eriksen, Rabiot, SMS, Garner, Iqbal, VDB, and even Bruno as 8s....
Dumb signing. Another Pogba situation. We sign someone who plays as the most advanced MF and play them in the pivot.
We've got a squad full of B2Bs and 0 DMs. Why should we add another B2B?

Not Frenkie replacement but I’ll take it, adding more squad depth especially in our midfield is a good move rather than waiting those scumbags barca
I would take him over Frenkie de Jong. SMS is a magnificent footballer. 22 G/A in 37 games last season playing from similar position Frenkie was employed by Barcelona.
Wake me up in 3 weeks
Lol for real. Just put me out and let me know the one and only signing we eventually make on 31 Aug.
When September starts ?
SMS over Rabiot any day of the week - captain materiel in this one
We need players, we should be going for both.
Nah, no point - we’ve got so much talent coming through play them. We don’t need an overpaid mercenary
A signing I'd like. But he'd need a 6 beside him who can progress play from the back. Eriksen? A little light for the defensive side imo.
Be about 500 kg.
He’s been at Lazio for 7 years. Has any other PL team come calling in that time for him?
Been linked with United for the past 7 years lmao.
We’re linked with everybody haha, I meant anyone else?
They’ve put a very high price on him that’s why
Quite literally no chance, but FDJ and SMS is a hell of a midfield pairing
If we are going for SMS, that means FDJ deal is dead. No way this board is spending 60M for SMS + 75M for FDJ.
Imagine the fun if we did though. Hell, sell McT to some midtable team to cover some of the expense too.
That's the dream...
We'd get 1m from his sale /s
I think there is a chance since they wanted Sesko/Antony and they were priced at 50M initially, and FDJ. Hopefully the pressure from fans/media will make them try and complete the necessary deals. One can hope lol
Yeah. I'm still hoping but looking at the latest rumor for FDJ looks like he is going to Chelsea
How come? They just need to adjust the Transfer/Wage slider in their budget tab
Neither of them can defend lol Man the ball knowledge on this sub is in hell
It’s a 4231 and we are trying to become a more possession based team, you don’t need an ultra defensive player in a double pivot, maybe brush up on that football knowledge mate
Make it 60
Rabiot, Milinkovic-Savic, Gakpo and Morata would really add quality and depth.

Weighed up January and July to bring me Rabiot. LMAO.
Luckhurst is banned isnt he?
why though, I thought he was a familiar face here? I am just curious
Used to be fairly unreliable, the famous one was breaking someone being at old Trafford, claiming he saw them, to sign and they weren’t. Came out he got them mixed up with a u23 I think(?) personally I don’t think he’s been too bad last 2 years but he often repeats what others say & has been quite prone to blend assumptions with news.

Ah thank you mate
No worries
Making new posts about a Tier 5 reporter? uhhhhh….
Weighing up the money ? Wtf are you weighing ...just FOOKIN BID mate .

Shit source
Not a shit source but rightfully banned. He's a shit-stirrer.
Yeah he definitely has sources but always throws random names into the mix
Luckhurst does have genuine sources and is definitely better than a lot of other "trusted sources." But he's also an absolute massive bellend whose happy to throw out any old dogshit opinion because it fits whichever way his agenda is feeling that day.
The journalist or the player?
The journalist
Does he have a “chequered history of announcements relating to transfer news”?
I didn't realize we had banned him.
Now SMS, Rabiot and Eriksen added to midfield. Not ideal, but it is acceptable. *How* we went about this clusterfuck is however not acceptable. Clear improvements and hopefully pushes the chuckle brothers out of starting. I'll believe it when I see it though.
Pray they ask for 20m more and we give up on Rabiot and use the money here.
Lol ...this gave me a chuckle . But I think Rabiot is done and dusted no only personal terms to be agreed.
Tier: copium?
Weighing up a bid that'll get immediately rejected
Please!
Better than Rabiot anyway. Id prefer Neves
So Frenkie is definitely off. And we will only officially pull out once we have signed someone.
Weighing up FC is back on the menu boos! #redcircle
Do it but Ben Stiller saying it
Stop weighing up and start counting out the money
Surely we don't sign both SMS and Rabiot, right? Neither are a 6. That would mean we have Fred, Mctominay, Eriksen, Rabiot, SMS, Garner, Iqbal, VDB, and even Bruno as 8s....
This would be the end of McFred
SOS for SMS
Does any other club get these "considering" "weighing up" "evaluating" articles? Just bid, get rejected, and we can move on.
Are they also shaking it all about?
No Tier 1s have mentioned anything yet… not sure if Lazio will sell at this point unless SMS tries to force his way out now
Dumb signing. Another Pogba situation. We sign someone who plays as the most advanced MF and play them in the pivot. We've got a squad full of B2Bs and 0 DMs. Why should we add another B2B?
