If anything, I think these qoutes all but end this saga. We're not going to part with that kind of money for someone with ongoing issues with his knee. Its just not going to happen.
It does seem to confirm we were seriously in for him at one point, mind. So you can gloat on that. As I say, its a massive shame about the injury, I would have loved him at United.
I also feel even more frustrated knowing we actually might have signed such a fantastic player, in midfield, and its gone down the drain. It seems that there is no end to our midfield jinx. I expect Herrera to injure himself, or discover a new love of Mcdonalds, anyday soon
