useless Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Manchester United have just signed a player called Daniel James for £18m rising to £21m, from a midtable championship club, who's stats are nowhere near as impressives as Saïd's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he still played for Nice you'd be more than happy for us to sign him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet this John fella is a right tricky little monkey. Good spot, u ever considered scouting IRL? I bet the @KenjiOgiwara type Leicester fans were going mad when they were signing James Maddison for 23 million. The Spurs fans must have been going mental about Deli Ali. There are much better players in Europe they all moaned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He look a fantastic player to be fair. Leeds nearly signed him in January but they wouldn't pay the full fee up front. Bet they are regretting that big time.

"We are about to tell you a transfer rumour that will shock you, confirmed by numerous agents, this rumour was first brought to our attention.....etc etc" 5 minutes later on the premium number after much build up......."villa might sign X player"........"k thanx bai".

Guzan kept us up atleast once, was crucial a second year and then went to shit. He was always a mediocre player, got let go from the club only to hang around to be re-signed and go on to have one great and one very good season before becoming the player he always was and I think he deserved a bit better when he finally left.

I remember the summer when we were supposedly in for Gazza and the one when we had Juninho at VP, but never got the deal done. Same when we signed Nii ‘the new Pele’ Lamptey. It’s mad to think that you could only find these things out in the local paper! I was addicted to Ceefax... football scores and live cricket scorecards as well from the county championship. Perfect when you are involved in very competitive Telegraph Fantasy Cricket leagues at school! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
