TRon Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 its like groundhog day why the fuck does Rafa stay here? He's got a year left on his contract. Might be a repeat of last season with Rafa making the best of the players we'd buy anyway regardless of who the manager was. Rafa won't be given full control of transfer targets because he won't sign a contract until we buy his players...which we won't because Rafa won't sign his contract, and so on. At the moment it's looking like he'll leave at the end of next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Whose turn is it to repeatedly post 'The transfer window isn't shut yet' right up until we don't sign anyone? There can't be anyone left who still thinks that surely ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Ashley has no interest in even letting the club spend any money, the best thing about rafa for him is he guarantees the team will over perform, and that Rafa is too loyal to the fans to walk away even though he is clearly being used. we will only spend money made from player sales and at the end of the season Rafa will go to be replaced by a yes man who will get us relegated again. Ashley will not be willing to drop his valuation of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Can anyone recall the precise details of the sacred rites and rituals of NUFCSD transfer ‘ladder’? Are the steps: purposeless scouting, thinking about monitoring, monitoring, post-monitoring huffing and puffing (re price of players these days), checking availability for loan, derisory offer... nope. That’s it I am stuck. Can’t recall anything that happens after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Man Utd wouldn’t sell Rashford, well the club itself anyway, even if Mourinho probably would. He’s too valuable an asset and I can see Mourinho maybe lasting one more season there so a loan deal may be the best for all concerned. There would be huge competition for him though. He’s a very very good prospect though and could develop into a top class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 He played in like 50 games last season. Can't see it happening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 He played in like 50 games last season. Can't see it happening They're looking to add even more attacking players this summer again. He will end up buried on the bench. He's shown enough to be starting every game and be allowed to truly establish himself as a front man. We're probably the team most well placed to offer him that in a decent team. Our number 9 spot is wide open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Monitoring >> Considering >> Preparing > Balk at reasonable fee/wages > Low ball offer > Won't be held to ransom > Moving on to next Target Repeat forever Loop it after Ransom back to monitoring and it's spot on, imo.

Ankles Bennett Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Even if we did get Rashford on loan it would only be until Jan. Man u will want him available for the run in just in case lukaku gets injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Rondon linked again too. Seems clear the type of striker Rafa wants to build his attack around as he's a similar striker to Slimani. He's better than Gayle and Joselu like but isn't good enough to be our first choice imo. Would be a good signing as one of 2/3 back up strikers though.

joeyt Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If we're going to play like we did for most of 2018 I'd rather we focussed on getting a nippy striker to play on the shoulder of defenders rather than a Slimani/Rondon type striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hmm, are West Brom wanting money for him? Would scupper the plans if so. Let’s monitor a bit longer to look like we are serious though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that's why Rafa was so keen on Abraham as he combined strength and pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Rondon linked again too. Seems clear the type of striker Rafa wants to build his attack around as he's a similar striker to Slimani. He's a good footballer. Get him back to his Malaga highs and I'd be buzzing. Hard to judge him i that West Brom team but I think he has a lot more to give if given the opportunities in games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
