Manchester United’s Joe Dudgeon is joining Hull in a £300,000 deal. Daily Star Sunday
1. Kiko wont go to Sampdoria…. he does’nt even start for them now…. and would command a decent fee i feel.
2. Stewart Downing……….. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
These hacks need to start making up believable stories!!!
No ‘transfer speculation’ on the new United goalkeeper? or that has probably run its course and got frightfully boring. lol
I cant see the Joe Dudgeon story being a runner,why do you have an academy like United to simply flog your most valuable prospects as they begin to flourish at a knock down price.Hull are treating United like a feeder club if this is the case!Bearing in mind the origin of this the Star…yikes.
I personally would wish this Wesley Sniejder links to United would just die a death.While he is a brilliant player for Milan and previously Madrid, although they flogged him to Mourhino(at Milan) for £15 million and he recently signed a 5 year contract extension,United dont need him, in my opinion.Although his lady is pretty fit but I dont believe she will do the ‘buisness’ required.
All good fun though trying to pick the wheat from the chaff.
This is gonna be a mighty long Summer transfer window.lol
