Seems for once City are praising us over in Blue Moon instead of slating us, grant it every ''great business for United'' comment starts or follows with some sort of an insult. :lol:

Bit of praise on rawk too.

Not sure why United are interested in Gundongan and Depay when Milner and Ings are available on frees.
Gundogan is a risk but I think a risk worth taking, if he stays injury free and regains his pre injury form it'll be a steal and ill be very jealous :(
Very impressive early signing from United & with their resources the injury risk is well worth taking.
It's very impressive how they've pretty much pulled off such a big signing so early. I wish we were this ruthless.
We'll wait for the last possible second to sign a striker and then get Joe Cole.
 
Gundogan stuff really has exploded from near nothing. Wasn't linked with us that much, then when he was it was for a bit before outlets said we weren't interested anymore and City was... then this! Wouldn't surprise me if a few signings are like this
 
Could be a fantastic signing. As I said in the tweets thread, hope we've done our homework.

Pre injury he was brilliant though. Great at passing but with the ability to take it to the openent as well.
 
This is so fecking brilliant! Oh the Muppet life is wonderful :D

A bit like Rojo, Herrera and Falcao on the last summer. No-one had a clue that is happening until the day when it happened.
 
I joined the caf last year because the muppet inside of me wanted minute by minute updates on the vidal saga.

I'm glad I'm here to enjoy signings like these :drool:

Just goes to show that being linked with a player in the papers is completely different than when we actually sign or agree terms with one. Two completely different vibes in the way the transfer unfolds.
 
Bild reporting no deal according to twitter.

Yeah that's how van Gaal does business. It's of course better than Moyes/Woody who said to everyone we will sign Fabregas and Kroos and then ended up with Fellaini on the last day for 10 million more than his release clause.
 
If he gets back to pre-injury form; Carrick, Herrera, Gundogan is a very good trio for them.

feck United and their fecking money. Depay and Gundogan.

To be fair everyone knew what would happen in 2015 with FFP and our massive sponsorships, the future is red :devil:
 
I haven't watched him at all to be honest but based on people's views on here, how is this going to work with Ander?? Seems like a definite clash which makes this a strange signing.
Partnering him and in front of Carrick or either taking Carrick's spot. Think they'd be class together if anything
 
If we can get him to his pre injury form then the figures being spoken could be a bargain.

Not really though.

Medien melden: Gündogan-Wechsel zu ManUnited fix!

Which freely translates into 'The media claim that Gundogan's transfer to United is done'. It's on their site.

If I remember correctly it was a bit like the AdM deal. Sure, there was the odd report linking us to him at the start of summer and then it went cold but then an actual report came out and within a week he'd signed, English press were oblivious. Starting to really like Woodward, if we get this deal wrapped up it'd be a fantastic step up from last Summer due to how early we got it sorted!
 
I feel made up about this, but part of me feels the caf is missing out on a muppet transfer saga. This all seems a bit too simple.

Don't worry. Won't be long before 3 German lawyers appear on the scene to start talking personal terms.

I think it will be a tough time for some muppet drama queens :D
I think we will do our business quickly without a saga, but there will always be the odd Vidal one ;)
 
On the side of caution, Bild are saying that Watzke and Zorc are denying this? No quotes or anything, but I don't read too much into these things until completed or denied by press conference.
 
The Mail implies he'd replace Carrick eventually, From what I've read this seems off and he'd actually replace Fellaini. Thoughts?

He's a bit like Xavi. Would need a busqets next to him.

But he most definitely controls the game from deep areas.

Ignore it, they just want more money.

It's ooon ladsss!

Not denying, just the typical we can't confirm it. According to Ruhr Nachrichten they can't confirm it, but think he won't be there next season.
 
I'm concerned about LVG desire for players with questionable fitness records, Vermaelen, Hummels, Gundogan....

How's he been this season following that back injury?
 
I love how we are doing business right now. Quick and clinical, the odd murmurs here and there but nothing with substance and then POW! Its done. Mother fecking catalina wine mixer.
