Don't watch that at work 🤣🤣 brings a tear to the eye.

I watched it at work but thankfully everyone else was already gone so I could cry in peace. 😭

His time had come and it's 100% the right time for him to leave (or rather it should have been last year already) but now that it actually happened the video still hit me like a fucking freight train. A proper club legend.

Azpi's farewell message makes Mount's look even more fake. Azpi really spoke from the heart while Mount's 'goodbye' was like a statement drafted by his PR rep and looked like someone was holding a gun to his head and forced him to read it. 😂

mount's statement seemed false and forced

Azpi's goodbye was from the heart, Mason's close to no feeling in it and looked like a hostage video. The difference is night and day.

Time for Reece to step up. Azpi learned from JT and hopefully Reece has learned from Azpi and Silva.

Matt Law has just said Ziyech to Saudi Arabia there is belief he could still end up going there

[Pizy 18,953]

One player that’s sure to leave who we haven’t heard a single bit about is Auba. It feels like he fell off the face of the earth.

damn this hit me right in the feels 😢, they don’t make them like this anymore, what more can i say other than thank you for everything Dave, proper Chels, a consumate professional, always gave his all for the team, he came and conquered, a club legend 100%, he belongs in DD, Terry, Lamps, Cech territory. Goodluck Azpi and all the best in your new journey. Best 7 million pounds ever spent. Once a blue always a blue, KTBFFH always💙

I remember back in 2012, we were heavily rumoured with two RB-s as we were looking for cheap option as backup for Ivanovic: Azpilicueta and Maicon. I also recall most people wanted Maicon, who signed for City instead, leaving many of our fans disappointed.

Maicon departed after 10 games, zero goals/assists and zero trophy one year later. Azpi leaving now after 11 years, 500 games and countless trophies. 

Should have been a big shame if we happened to sign the Brasilian instead!!

 

(similar story when Luis Felipe Scolari was our coach and planned to make Drogba-Adriano swap deal)

Please him or Bono from Sevilla either 1 would be an upgrade and both are reasonably priced. Way cheaper than Onana

Really just do not understand why we don’t throw £80m at Inter for Barella. Unlike Brighton, Inter desperately need money and are always on the brink of the financial cliff these days. There’s no way they’re turning that sort of money down. We can even give them a super favorable price on Lukaku as part of negotiations, ffs. 

Absolutely true.
Need to consider our current squad especially in midfield area is very young, i think we really should get atleast one experience midfielder.
And Barella would be brilliant signing

And what about cherky rumours? just seem very quiet recently.
some people said he is bit slow, but cherky reminds me a bit of gustavo payet, he didn't really fast either, but still capable of doing something great in pl, right.
If cherky could be our own payet, it will be very great.
We desperately need this kind of player in our attack. If not cherky, wirtz, bernando also still decent option

Imagine we could land barella, dybala, cherky, lavia and veiga
I think the squad will be very promising and exciting for the upcoming season, even without marquee signing like caicedo

Really worried that any rumours around Gallagher have died down. We need to get rid and take what we can get now, his value will only diminish

[robsblubot 3,595]

Yeah don't care about Gallagher peanut value, but the issue with bad players in the roster is that they end up on the pitch, which is not what we want.

Getting worried with Arsenal now. Good signings and they just got rid of Xhaka. 😕

United quickly moving on from Mount and are now bidding for both Onana as their new keeper and Hojlund as their new striker. 

Feels like everyone has kicked into high gear whilst we’ve been haggling over Caicedo for weeks. If Brighton are asking for stupid money we need to just move on and get someone else.

All of our rivals are getting their key, must have players in well before preseason matches start. We need to do the same. The only move that started and materialized this summer is Jackson. And we don’t even know if he is being considered as a starter yet. Nkunku was done months ago. We should’ve had at least 1 new midfielder in by now.

We have turned into talking FC... Only talking and no action..

This is United's 2nd bid for Onana in 2 weeks and is likely to be rejected again. They also low balled an offer for Hojlund which will also be likely rejected. Can't ignore they spent over a month to try and secure Mount. Their way of business is chaotic. 

We on the other hand, are actually meeting with Brighton face to face in order to complete this. No random bids every other day. Face to face negotiations to get this done given how much of a ball breaker Bloom is. Hasn't even been a week yet. 

- Jackson and Nkunku already in. 

- Santos in

 

All we need is a CM and GK and we are fine. 

 

[YorkshireBlue 3,279]

Are people forgetting we already have new for next season, Nkunku, Jackson, gusto? Plus sold all the dead wood? So far this transfer window has been great, midfield targets are coming and probably others aswell.

I want to see us making concrete offers for the players we really want like they are. They may fail with their initial bids but it shows the target players intent. It turns their heads and makes them determined to get their moves. 

If we put a bid in for Cherki for example or Wirtz, they may think it’s an opportunity they can’t pass up and ask their clubs to make it happen.

Caicedo will be fuming if he is priced out of a move.. Brighton promised him he could leave this summer. £75+10 in add ons should be more than enough.
