The papers have nothing better to do than build up expectations and then destroy them

dont you mean the club destroying them?

of course alot of what is printed is false, but just cause other things dont come through doesnt mean the journalist is lying.

I've now decided that rather than go through the uplifting ups and devastating downs of transfer rumours, I'd prefer to assume that we will sign absolutely no one over the summer and lay among the misery which that thought brings.

I really can't take another summer of "Will he sign?/won't he sign?", so I've taken my expectations right down. It's only May and I'm already fit for a mental home, so I'm going with the 'Expect nothing and therefore you won't be disappointed' approach.

So far, so good, but it's only been about 40 minutes!

It's probably been the longest 40 mins ever?

I think I will do the same because it will probably get worse before it gets better

I know where you're coming from. I avoid focusing on any particular player, because of the inevitable disappointment when they aren't signed. That way, when we end up resigning Bruce and Pallister next August. I'll be pretty happy enough because I kept my expectations low all summer.

Who was the last player that we resigned? Was it Hughes?

Member that list people were doing with all the "respected journalists" - anyone have that out of interest in relation to who said exactly what in relation to Kroos to United and Evra to Inter.

Near enough £40 million for Mata and £50 million for Luiz.

Chelsea will be able to go on a bigger spending spree than usual this summer.

Did PSG forget to put a dot between the 5 and the 0?

Last night I had no idea that David Luiz was leaving, and if you told me he was, I would have guessed Barcelona.

In less than 24 hours, PSG made a bid, had it accepted, and had the selling club announce that the deal is done subject to medical and personal terms.

Why can't we ever do a deal like that? When I read about a player United are interested in, I know it will be an agonising wait of weeks or even months before I know for sure if the player is or isn't going to sign.

Pisses me off. Lets say that was us who wanted Luiz. We would have been told about a bid a month ago by a few journalists, we would have put the bid in today at £22m, which then would have been rejected. The next month would be stories of "United to up their bid to £40m" mixed in with "United end Luiz interest", before we lodge another bid of £42.3m which gets accepted, then we would fly Sideshow Bob in on a helicopter for a medical, all the while paranoid that another club will poach the deal.

No I don't, but you don't think he's worth 5 million either.

Id day 25, pretty much what we paid for him. Considering Barca wanted him it forced themselves and PSG to start a bidding war and we're the victors

He can piss off if that's true. No player should ever be guaranteed a starting place.
