CONFIRMED Vinícius Souza

[Sheffsteel]

I don’t think Burnley will be anywhere near as successful as people think. We threw the second game away ourselves but when they played us last season there was nothing in it. If anything we had more bite.

I thought Kompany might get special treatment off City and the likes of Palmer etc would already be at Burnley on loan but seems it’s not the case.

Burnley remind me a little of when Norwich came up.
They played an open attacking game and their fans thought they'd easily stay up and maybe even as high as top half.

They stuck to their principles, think Kompany will do the same, he'll be brave and play a pass and move attacking game.
If it works they'll be mid table, however there's a good chance they'll be far too open and they'll ship loads of goals.

Wouldn't surprise me if they do a Norwich and finish bottom losing 4-2 and 5-2 most weeks.
When they were in hot form, didn't they lose 6-0 to Man City in the cup last season? the reason is because they tried to take them on, how naive is that?
Expect them to win plenty of admirers, Kompany will get credit for trying to play the game the right way but he'll be naive and could struggle badly.

Conversely I expect us to be like a Jose Mourinho team, we won't look that good and are pretty negative (like we were last season), kind of parking the bus
but suspect Hecky will make us really difficult to beat. It won't be pretty to watch but I don't think we'll concede many.
However at present can't see us scoring many either.

 

[ormester]

Souza and Tilliman before Saturday.
O'Brien and Akpom just after.
Now THAT makes the midfield stronger.
And thats before the two Prem loans that could even be the City boys.

Like your optimism

 

[McDonagh Blade]

Like your optimism

All good apart from we can't have two loans from the same Prem club.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Prince A did say Hecky was after a budget buster

I like how you've referred to him as Prince A. To distinguish him from the other Saudi Princes we have knocking about S2

I’m dezlxex, can’t spell Abdullah!








Wait a minute, it’s a mickirel.

O’Brien akpom no please god no

What has this got to do with fish?!

 

[brownblade]

O’Brien akpom no please god no

God no? Why so extreme?

Both were one of the best players in the Championship. Both would improve our squad currently.

 

[Blade56]

Everything!

 

[Champagneblade]

I can see Souza and O'Brien coming in on permanents... Add Macca and or Palmer on loan and all of a sudden we got ourselves a fucking midfield!!!!
On a side note - after the Prince interview, I have a funny feeling Berge might be sold shortly....

O’Brien, Souza, Slimane

Probably look to sell Berge.

Whoever City don’t want behind whatever striker we have fit.

We’re almost beat deploying 5-4-1 until we can get the proper recruits in to play something more expansive.

We cannot sell Berge!

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

They've turned down £30m for McAtee buddy.
We don't have a pot to piss in.

From who?

 

[ben1987]

From who?

Was reported in a few places a few weeks ago

Manchester City reportedly reject bids 'in the region of £30m' for ex-Sheffield United loanee

Manchester City have reportedly rejected bids in the region of £30m for ex-Sheffield United loanee James McAtee.

Exactly my reasoning and thought process.

 

[Harrisblade]

From who?

Thought Man C had decided to keep McAtee (and Palmer) for the future and only loan them..
Doyle was the one available to buy.

 

[Champagneblade]

We cannot sell Berge!

I didn't realise.

My bad.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Our best player has just chosen Burnley over us.
What chance Souza makes a different call?

Tell him we think he's better than Berge and he's the man we really want in our team. Such a deal could be done for all we know.

 

[sufc323]

I'd like to think that we've accepted a bid for Berge because this one is already wrapped up, but this is United who are, and always have been, ran by fucking idiots

 

[YES Blade]

I'd like to think that we've accepted a bid for Berge because this one is already wrapped up, but this is United who are, and always have been, ran by fucking idiots

I’m hoping that as well! Surely we only finalise the Berge sale when we’ve already completed a signing.

No replacement signs, then it’s tough shit Burnley, the deal is off.

(No chance we’d do that obviously)

You say "surely" like this Board knows what it's doing.
It doesn't.

He hasn’t chosen by all accounts. He’s been forced out. He has been told if he doesn’t leave he won’t play on Saturday

I wouldnt be surprised if we had a couple of players already agreed before agreeing this move, there is a lot of negativity out there, understandable

will be interesting to see what this squad looks like come Sept 1st

 

[Brownieblade]

He hasn’t chosen by all accounts. He’s been forced out. He has been told if he doesn’t leave he won’t play on Saturday

That’s one hell of a claim there

 

[Grizzly blade]

Will be a different story when this bloke shows up, boots a few into the stand and gets a 5 game ban in the first month.
Will also turn out he’s got zero calmness or quality on the ball and after every touch his second touch is also a tackle.

Can see it coming.

But it’s ok…we need some big nasty bastard to do the work for our quality players….oh wait…hang on…

 

[Blade56]

He hasn’t chosen by all accounts. He’s been forced out. He has been told if he doesn’t leave he won’t play on Saturday

Can’t make statement like that without source evidence. By all accounts, name one?

 

[Houso]

He hasn’t chosen by all accounts. He’s been forced out. He has been told if he doesn’t leave he won’t play on Saturday

To which Sanders' response would be "fair enough."

Steve

 

[Tarqs]

He hasn’t chosen by all accounts. He’s been forced out. He has been told if he doesn’t leave he won’t play on Saturday

So what part of him turning down new contract offers means he has been forced out?

 

[Eric_Brooks]

To which Sanders' response would be "fair enough."

I don’t think Burnley is his destination of choice
