What a surprise: Real's transfer ban has been reduced to this coming window!
Think it may have any major impact on certain targets being harder to get now?
20 Dec 2016 12:22:14
Hopefully they buy one or more of hazard, sanchez, coutinho, aguero and kane and ruin our rivals hopes for the following seasons.
20 Dec 2016 12:28:48
Or worse still it may mean we might lose a player to them.
20 Dec 2016 12:32:29
Martial, Pogba and DDG - are the ones to watch.
20 Dec 2016 14:40:27
hmm not sure why so many disagrees:
Martial - not happening for him at the minute, clear potential and somebody Real would typically be interested in - £60m would we say no and they will have the money from any James/ Isco deal?
Pogba - Maybe too soon, but clearly there has been some smoke
DDG - fax beep away from happening before and wouldn't exactly be a shock
That's my logic anyway.
20 Dec 2016 15:12:55
Beast - I think the Pog is still a couple of years away from attracting renewed interest from Real. DDG might just be a ship that has sailed. Martial might be of interest to them, but with Madrid, its crazy and unpredictable. Btw the disagree button thing is still so popular lol.
Deeps.
20 Dec 2016 15:29:25
I personally don't see pogba going anywhere soon possibly DDG but I think you may be right with martial beast out of the 3 I reckon his head could be turned pretty easily atm.
20 Dec 2016 15:55:09
Why would Real be interested in Martial for £60m? Not playing well, but they'll be willing to break the bank, strange that.
I presume the disagrees are for completely unsubstantiated speculation.
20 Dec 2016 16:46:28
We paid just shy of that for him I understand. By this point last season he was looking to be a bargain, had Real come sniffing in the Summer it wouldn't have been unreasonable to expect a record breaking fee (so they may want to capitalize on the situation) . He doesn't seem to be enjoying his game, Real or Barcelona are realistically the only teams in Spain that would tempt or afford him and he seems like an ideal long term replacement for Ronaldo to me.
Of course it is unsubstantiated speculation, but I simply stated they are things to look out for. People diagreeing obviously think that this is not something to look at, so I wonder why considering the circumstances!
They have only just had their ban shortened so nobody could possibly be 'in the know' on this, kind of goes without saying so everything is unsubstantiated at this point regarding Real Madrid's summer transfer plans!

Danny beat me to it, he's hardly hot property right now is he?
20 Dec 2016 17:02:26
Reason there were so many disagrees Beast is Pogba - he'll stay at least 3 years I think. Unfinished business. The other two I think you are correct - they may want to leave this summer.
20 Dec 2016 17:23:57
Cool guys, I was just surprised as I think I could make a strong case for all three of them being on Real Madrid's radar. I don't normally give a monkeys about the disagree/ agree thing as I have stalkers like others do who will just disagree without reading the post. Just on this point I see there being a particular risk for these three players.
Granted on current form Martial is nothing to worry about, but he has shown what he is capable of and this rut won't last for much longer I hope. Just watch Martial play like a world beater for the second half of the season, rumours will start with DDG imminently I bet and then you have Pogba whose agent may like to cash in if for some ridiculous reason we fail to qualify for the CL again. Wouldn't be surprised if there were clauses in their contracts should that happen as well.
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid has shown no interest in Anthony Martial - they have far better targets in mind. Real Madrd could have taken Pogba in the summer but the price was well beyond what they valued him at, and they wanted to include players in any deal. As I said, right now De Gea is not their preferred choice of goalkeeper but they may need to turn back to him. The focus in the summer (and it is already in hand) is to freshen up the forwards. So basically, the CAS decision has nothing whatsoever to do with Manchester United.}

I'm shocked ed002, I just assumed that they had done it as a ploy to get Real to sign all our players. Next you'll be telling me that the world would still have orbited the sun today if I didn't wear my united pants.
{Ed002's Note - You might want to get a little advice about the very basic principles of science if you think the world orbited the sun today.}
20 Dec 2016 17:58:33
okay, the world orbits the centre of mass in the solar system, which is not the sun, but is very close to the sun, and this happens only when I wear my United pants.
{Ed002's Note - Not today it doesn't. I assume you Googled it and didn't understand the answer. If you could find a five or six year old child to ask how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sub perhaps you could be enlightened.}
20 Dec 2016 18:01:19
Obviously, I don't mean fully orbited, but continued its orbit all because of my choice in underwear, you're welcome world.

What about Flat Earth Danny, don't discount that mate?!
Ed - It depends if the 'sub' is Shaw or Schweini, could take longer than usual, haha.
20 Dec 2016 19:25:55
Happy days all our players are crap and no one wants them yippee 😊.
20 Dec 2016 22:09:50
According to a smart guy on Twitter, the flat earth society they have members all around the world.
{Ed025's Note - most of them sit in the kop mate.. :)
21 Dec 2016 00:04:06
