Allblacks fans when they lose are.

This isn't true in my experience but you live out there don't you so you know better than me. They seem to have taken the Lions draw (which is pretty much a defeat for them) pretty well, haven't they?

Manc fan on RedCafe:

"I don't want Dier. He's just not good enough. I would've preferred we kept Schweinsteiger instead of buying Dier."

"Once he leaves Spurs he'll be exposed in a more expansive playing team. Feck Dier, he's a Spur. If the Spurs are willing to part with him then I don't want him."

United more expansive :LOL:

Must have meant expensive. Surely? I mean, they are a more expensive team - none of us can deny that

This is one of those ones where your immediate instinct is to hit WTF!? - but you stop yourself because you know it would only be shooting the messenger

What is wrong with these people? I had one on some news site comments section yesterday, and he really believed that they shouldn't pay any more than £25 million, and we should just give him to them anyway, because they already have Blind who is a better player for the role. Yeah, because all United players are inherently superior to all Spurs players in some mystical kinda way - which explains why we finished four places above them last season and have finished above them three seasons in the last four. Because all our players are rubbish... :ROFLMAO:

This was my favourite, though. Someone called Terry said:

"We DON'T want dire he's rubbish."

And none of the emphasis there is mine. And yes he really did miss-spell Dier and no I don't believe it was deliberate

No, not at all. From the moment the game finished the fans started whinging and the media has done article followed by article on the an apparent shit decision by ref. There was even an article criticising the lack of articles coming out of the UK that criticise the ref.

Yeah, I've lived in NZ for 14 years but lived up North before for 21 years that, so I'm well accustomed to United fans to.

To be fair, they didn't specify in which direction they are more expansive, it could mean hoofing the ball vertically more expansively? Or in Jose style, playing a more expansive defence which covers about 80% of the pitch.

Good, so can't these fans just tell Mourinho and Eddie the same thing about Dier then promptly fuck off

Barcelona fans when they're not playing very well. Most disgusting crowd I've ever been in. They're horrendous to their own players. The PR exercise that club did on itself...

Real Madrid fans are just as bad with their white hankies and even starting to turn on Ronaldo after he had a few poor games last season.

Barca do the hankies thing too. Well they did when they weren't very good and Bojan was starting

I remember them racially abusing the legend Roberto Carlos if he made a mistake. I can't stand that club

This did make me laugh regarding Dier.

Red cafe.
“How about Smalling and £20m for Dier. Seems a fair deal for all parties. We need a CDM and Spurs are looking for a third choice CB.”

With this reply
“Smalling + £10m”

A fair deal for all parties?! Hahaha we’re lumbered with a defender who can’t defend and strengthen them at the same time, and I thought Liverpool fans were bad

I think taking Smalling would add to the fee, £70m + Smalling.

Sorry but Dier should not become the most expensive player ever bought. That would just be embarrassing

Embarrassing for who?

More embarrassing than paying a world record fee just to get your own youth player back?

And then finding out he's only half as good as Dele...who only cost £5 mill?

It doesn't seem to occur to anyone outside Spurs that we are selling Walker because we want to. Even a high proportion of SC members are acting as if we are being bullied or pressurised into selling against our will. I can't imagine where, except assumptions based on history, that is coming from.

Without a shred of hard evidence, only mood and tone of voice, it has nevertheless been plain to me for months that the club, or at least Pochettino, is at least as keen to see Walker leave as he is to beef up his bank account at Man City's expense.

@Gaz_Gammon was raining heavy hints to this effect a couple of months ago, but no one really picked up on any of it and he never provided any proper details.

So we don't know why, because the club doesn't leak the way it used to. So this side of the tale seems, for want of gossip, not to have shown up on anyone's radar. The narrative has been about "losing Walker", not about "getting rid of Walker".

SPOT.ON.
Chelsea sold Mata to Utd a few seasons back and could well sell Matic to them this summer....are they a selling club?

Are they bollocks, they're happy to let players go who are either :
a) Replaceable
b) Not in the managers plans
c) Not singing from the same hymn sheet as the manager.

Walker ticks two of these boxes IMO, and Its the sort of guff you expect from our rival fans on twitter, not from our own supporters.
