Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

It's not like other positions where you'll get 20-30 minutes most games, come in while a player is rested, etc. How can he fight to be number 1 when Pope has been signed as number 1 and is better than him? No matter what Dubravka does in training isn't going to change that?

And you think he has a better chance to be #1 at Manure than here?

if Pope gets injured he’s back in, also he can play all the cup games…

Man Utd are apparently baulking at paying a fee, but Dubravka wants to be let go anyway.

 

Man Utd should pay a fee every time we end up with Darlow in nets as far as I’m concerned  

That's it? That's hardly anything worth getting upset about, that seems a pretty normal situation.

Just thought on weve got 3 matches in 6 days and a transfer window closing

Gonna be a busy week

I’m not upset - I realise that this isn’t always the best medium to show what my actual emotions are! - I’m mildly annoyed by Dubravka, and frankly Man Utd can GTF.  Is that the same club which wanted £15m to loan out Lingard for six months?

 

They should stump up what we’re asking for or bugger off.  And if Dubravka is happy warming benches, I understand the ones at SJP have heaters.

I don't. He'll be number two here and there. Only there it'll be for one of the biggest clubs in the world and he'll be playing all of their Europa games more than likely.

[LV]

He’s no longer #1 here. 

 

He’s been a great servant for us. 

 

He’s going to get a chance at playing in Europe before he retires and likely a higher wage.
 

I can see why he would want to go and I can’t begrudge him that for those reasons. 

Unfortunately it’ll leave us short but there was always this risk when we brought in someone ahead of him.

[Jaqen]

Being number 2 for a club in European competitions is much better than being a number 2 here. 

 

We signed a better player ahead of him, he wants a better move for himself on the back of this. Both are fair enough. 

 

Stuff like he's shown his true colours, ruined his legacy etc are massively over the top reactions

Completely agree.

The fucking judas 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Understand why he wants the move, but equally there has to be a recognition across all parties that we can only consider a permanent or loan with obligation.

 

[Yorkie]

Not a rumour, just so you know whilst it loads. 

 

[NWMag]

Not seen much Alvarez talk anywhere today, was this another random rumour with no substance then?

Might as well be number 2 where you're going to still play about 15 European and domestic cup games, than the half dozen he'd likely get here if he's lucky.

He can if Man U pay the money otherwise he can sit on our bench. I'm pretty certain the owners will be making that very clear also after the shithouse way they went on in January.

That's fair enough if Man U pay the cash otherwise tough.

They need to pay the money then to release him. Like fuck do we just let him go on loan for nothing especially after the way they went on in January.

I dunno, seems as soon as Dubravka's had some real competition he's wanted a move. Sod that.

It's not like he's going to shift De Gea - it makes no sense.

Course it does. 1) NUFC have shown they don’t rate him that highly by buying Pope - feels bad. 2) Man Utd are in Europe so likely significantly more games there.

I mean I can see the logic, he has probably been promised European games & cup games for them, which is more than he will get here 

[Hanshithispantz]

It’s a half decent chance for him to win a trophy out of nowhere at the end of his career.

Significantly more? That is to be seen.

It also makes sense that if they aren't going to pony up some cash they can go fuck themselves.

[mighty__mag]

In all this madness that's been going on, I've been really surprised we haven't really shifted more of our players out.

 

I thought Ritchie would be off, possibly Murphy, and maybe Fernandes, Manq, also Shortsaff, 

 

Instead Dubz before that lot ?

What's Dubravka done other than ask to leave or have I missed something today?

 

It's not about Dubravka though, I respect his wishes, but if Man U want him so much, why won't they pay £5m? He's probably worth that much sitting on our bench. Fuck them and their Lingard shithousing in an attempt to get us relegated.

I guess they can't get anything for them. If you look at the outgoing income it's nuts. They have received nothing. That isn't sustainable. That's why it's great they are buying sellable assets for the future.

You're not. You're mildly annoyed by reports about Dubravka.
