Transfer deadline predictions

[PeteBlade]

* At least two people will have a public meltdown before the transfer window has actually closed and before we know if our transfer dealings are finished

* You will probably be able to guess who these people will be

* Someone will invent a big name signing and then someone else will say we've no ambition because we don't sign the guy we were never going to sign

* There will be an abundance of fax machine jokes

* The guy we do sign will simultaneously be described as a brilliant signing and a terrible signing on the same thread

* We'll all he glued to Sky Sports News until it closes whether it looks like we're signing anyone else or not

* Wilder will end the transfer window 'appeh


Any more?

 

[Barney]

I hope there's a few appearances of my all time favourite deadline day joke.

"We tried..................but.."

 

[Rusty view]

It will all be Mcabes fault or Prince. And their lack of ambition.

No blame will be apportioned to the club for not being held to ransom but said club or players.

 

[robbiez666]

* there will be a rumour about us selling a young player. The board will go into hysterics. The rumour will be posted by a 12 year-old boy on Twitter

* I'm travelling down south to a festival. My phone will run out of battery and die as I hit reset constantly.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Harry Redknapp will sign 10 more players.

Boro will buy Bale

All other 21 clubs will break their transfer record....

Plenty of 'Irons in the fire' at United.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Weers munni gone


It's a plan to get Wilder out because he speaks the truth


All those who've already posted a thousand times "we'll bring no one in" will be the ones most shocked distraught and disappointed.


They'd better not.......

 

[Tyler Durden]

*Some banal twat will make a 'Desso' joke.

*It won't be funny.

 

[Ricky]

Middlesbrough's slimy smiling twat will make at least one more appearance despite them already having a very expensive and complete squad...

 

[BigBed]

 

[robbiez666]

The more Irons in the fire, the better.

 

[Ricky]

Most predictable of all.....

Fees will be spent across the country that leave us even more gobsmacked than the year before.

 

[snootyfenooty]

United won't buy anyone. Can you imagine McCabe shelling out a zillion for Messi only for the fans to shrug this off as being good back-up for Billy Sharp.

 

[Jonboy60]

Does the loan system close on the same day. Can't be arsed to search.

 

[Westran]

I hate to be pedantic, but [I'm going to be anyway] all except the last two have already happened so can't be classed as predictions!

I get your sentiment though.

Worse case scenario, we don't sign anyone, Wilder gets pissed off, injuries continue and we end up dropping down the league like a pebble in a swimming pool.

Best case scenario, we sign a decent striker on a permanent who ends up being the perfect partner to Sharp, we get a loan striker in to add competition, a couple of fringe players are sold and we maybe get another defender to steady the ship if necessary.

Anything at either end and anything inbetween could happen and I have no idea which way it will go. I'll guess at Connor Goldson and that lad from Watford on loan just for fun and plenty more fax machine jokes.

yes

 

[Pollingtonblade]

* At least two people will have a public meltdown before the transfer window has actually closed and before we know if our transfer dealings are finished -I agree with this

* You will probably be able to guess who these people will be - no, could you elaborate

* Someone will invent a big name signing and then someone else will say we've no ambition because we don't sign the guy we were never going to sign - we must be United together

* There will be an abundance of fax machine jokes - sometimes we need to have some jokes

* The guy we do sign will simultaneously be described as a brilliant signing and a terrible signing on the same thread - out of cole comes diamonds

* We'll all he glued to Sky Sports News until it closes whether it looks like we're signing anyone else or not - I agree with this

* Wilder will end the transfer window 'appeh - he may ask what's the biggest room in your house, the room for improvement

Any more?

 

[knowsnowt]

I don't know why people get so worked up..its only football!

 

[wizadry]

I'll only be disappointed if we don't bring in the players we need for our squad which is there for all to see.

Injuries suspensions and a lack of form means we need recruits, it's pretty simple really.

Whoever we bring in should all get a chance to show us what they've got and I don't mean like when people were judging Lundstram after 15 minutes of twatting football from off the bench.

 

[BerksBlade]

1. That Scottish bloke who hosts the Sky Sports Transfer Window programme will spontaneously combust with excitement
2. Harry Redknapp's car window will stay shut
3. Arsenal will have to put barbed wire round the Emirates to stop players leaving
4. Chris Wilder will make the right decisions
5. Steve Bruce will spend a fortune on someone who turns out to be rubbish
If we end up with Brayford & Hanson out, and a half-decent striker in that will do for me.

 

[Pinchy]

He's Coming! Only two more sleeps....

#5 is no where near enough, BB. We will need more than one player in because of injuries, suspensions and a lack of form. It's already starting to hit us now which is pretty early all things considered.

I agree with everything you say except Wilder getting pissed off, that's like saying The Hulk takes a slap and runs off crying. When Wilder's back is against the wall and things aren't going to plan he just works harder and harder, until it does work.

Shouldn't that be "6"? It doesn't really flow from "5" does it?

Your welcome

Given that he's the biggest hitter on the transfer committee, and the most frequent proponent of not paying more for a player than he [Tufty] thinks the player is worth, perhaps he'll get pissed off with himself?

That idea, of course, is such a missed opportunity for some to further the agenda that it simply cannot be contemplated.

 

[TTMeysh]

I must admit, I am gearing up for a genteel meltdown if we don't bring a striker in, at least. It seems so obvious to me that we are in the best position we have been for a decade and that money spent now, with the momentum we have and the management team we have, will be money well spent, but I fear that McCabe will draw the precisely opposite conclusion, that our decent start means no further money needs to be spent.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

The media fucking circus will feature half a dozen gobshites who should be in bed, jumping around outside a training ground behind a reporter who probably would also rather be in bed, waiting to see who rolls up in their Ranger Rover Evoque.

Chuff right off you sack of shit. Silly amounts of money at the end of August; created by Sky, for Sky.

 

[Antonb]

Its not looking very promising. We need about 4 players I think. lets hope we see some movement tomorrow.

The letter red will bring luck to a k in the full moon
