Well they will spend a little bit of that on your elderly old boy.:)

No chance, he will go on a free with a multi million pay out from United in his pocket, United will more than likely pay some of his much reduced wages at Everton, still cheaper than paying him until the end of his contract.

Have a good holiday BTW Den. :cool:

Lukaku deal now confirmed on Uniteds web site subject to medical and terms, after the Essien and Obi Mikel episodes it is nice to put one on Chelski no matter how the move eventually pans out.:)

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

I wonder how much Everton are asking for this young prospect?

A few coppers perhaps.;)

Jacob Murphy set to sign for Newcastle. £12m

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

A bit of bad planning, one of my nieces is getting married in November in Stafford. The same day that Man Utd are at home to Newcastle so I will be unable to be at OT that day.

The whole family spent some time living in the North East and one of her brothers became a Toon fan and remains one to this day even though he now lives down in Cornwall. Hopefully I will have occasion to give him some stick on the day. :D

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

Never a dull affair between Newcastle and Man United. Although I tend to be on the receiving end of the disappointing result more frequently.

Sheyi Ojo seems to be the signing after Jacob Murphy. Which would leave the club with 5 wingers. Incoming rotation policy...

Also worth noting Tim Krul was essentially transfer listed and Newcastle continue to pursue Pepe Reina (Under bid from Man City) and other keeper targets after presumably failing to sign Joe Hart (Unsure if the interest was real) who has now moved to West Ham. I think the actual favourite at this point and most likely signing is Kiko Casilla of Madrid.

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

Yep, usually good entertainment when Newcastle visit. I have told my niece that I will be wearing my United beanie hat and scarf throughout the wedding.:)

I did set a precedent at my own daughters wedding a couple of years ago. ;)

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

Newcastle sign Javier Manquillo ahead of Sevilla. Seems to be another depth addition.

I swear you could only register 25 players. Benitez must know something I don't regarding a potential clean out of players here.

Is he worth it?.

Scottish defence very poor but some well taken goals all the same.

Knew about this a few days ago but thought it was just blowing smoke. Seems it's actually happening. Neymar to PSG for £195 million.

Mindboggling..:shocked:

Re: Football Season 2017/2018
 

Seems Jack Wilshere will be subject to £20m bids from West Ham, Swansea and Newcastle. I'd imagine West Ham would be the favourite choice of the three.

Mitrovic has been transfer listed by Newcastle and a price is set at £16 million. Comes after Newcastle officially start their striker search and hope to smash their transfer record whilst still having too many players around the first team setup. I like Mitrovic, the guy just needs time, has the physicality of Ibrahimovic, has decent finishing but is just devoid of confidence, the guys still only 22 though. He'll run absolutely rampant at a European club. If Lyon take him it'll be a great signing for them. At the end of the day though, Benitez is a world class manager who has defined playing styles suited to players he identifies and already has st his disposal. The point being is Mitrovic doesn't fit that style.

Players like Ayoze Perez are far more favourable for Benitez. Players with flair and finesse. It makes sense Benitez would want a striker that could work better with Perez.
