Jon Obi Mikel and Danny Drinkwater Incoming

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/footb...jose-mourinho/

According the soaraway Sun Utd are spending £32m on Drinkwater and Mikel

Was also sent this on Sunday night from a mate that is still on RI. TBF this now ties in nicely with the Sun story.

Highlights:
- Two busy windows planned. José has told Woodward he only wants to sign established players, not 'up and coming' ones. (I'd suggest that also translates as 'I wouldn't have £#%&!ed all that money on Martial, you clown.)
- Talks have taken place with ******* [surprising older player from former José club] about a possible January move. (Keep eye on The Sun this week for more.)
- Woodward is having to run every little financial thing past Florida. José is not happy about that. (You may recall LVG was fed up with the same thing - everything taking too long to approve etc. So much for Gill & Fergie's bullshit back in 2005 about how much easier approvals would be, compared to the plc régime.)

Didn't Drinkwater used to play for us ?

Jesus Mikel wasn't even a regular under him at Chelsea was he?

Drinkwater having a stinker this season too

I thought it was meant to be Willian? That would make more sense. Unless we are on a mission to buy players who almost but didn't make it at United.

Jon Obi Mikel to return to his former club then?

Delighted for the bloke.

If mikel came in, another part of football would die for me.

The left leg.

If the body as a whole represents the affection I have for the sport;
All were left with is a headless corpse twitching in a ditch it dug for itself. Don't even know how it's still twitching tbh

Loads it's not like it's a difficult position to fill - same as right back. Be stacks of good scandies.

Never ever rated Mikel. Guys got to hold the record for playing under the most managers at same club though, fair play for surviving every cull.

small pool of players to choose from. He is up against it and cant be seen to be squandering more cash.

Saying that he could ship a few players out and balance the books.

What's his finishing like? Can he play up front/ That's where we are obviously struggling.

There is no £#%&!ing way that John @#%&!ing Obi @#%&!ing Mikel the @#%&! is as good a player as any of the shit@#%&!s we're currently not playing.

Schneiderlin might be a mincing pissbag, but he's a better footballer than Mikel.

Bastian might have the turning circle of an oil tanker & want more touches than Savile in a nursery, but he's a better footballer than Mikel.

Fellaini is a @#%&!.

Forget it. What's the £#%&!ing point in getting in players that are shit? Mikel is shit. Proper, proper shit.

I'm not acknowledging Drinkwater.
