Id love that.. That was brilliant seeing Berba in the windows of OT... It felt like a proper transfer....
Yep, getting the feeling I'm going be very sad on September 2nd aswell
Yellow tie. *cringe*
True. But if you think about it, all of our last 4 transfer (all big of them for big money) needed a push by the players themselves, telling their clubs that they want to move to us.
My opinion (note opinion) is that we've either pulled out of this a long time ago or we really do have concerns over his knee and we're trying to push Juve down on the fee because of that. Either way, just want this to end now.
knowing our luck it'll be ....a new contract
It depends on the clubs involved. Real Madrid have sold players like Ozil, Robinho. Van der Vaart late in the end of the window and they've bought players like Bale and Modric. It's a fact of life at the top of the market as well as among the minnows.
Wasn't Modric more the middle of august in 2012.
Fair. Though perhaps as with all transfer stuff maybe they're the exception rather than the rule.
Wasnt there a deadline set by Juve of tomorrow?
This is another one of those phrases that should go down in Cafe history.
I thought the deadline they set was last Friday??!!!!
That's what I read. I think It might be the deadline for Vidal to express a desire to leave. Woodward is still preparing the bid.
This story doesn't exist, save yourselves the pain, or keep on believing Woodward has been preparing a bid for the past 6 weeks.
Every day is the deadline day, until it passes, then its tomorrow.
Woody must be the slowest one-finger-typist in the world if he still isn't finished.
27th August according to Wikipedia.
Has Hernandez' agent really come out and said that a swap deal including his client and Vidal is underway?
Ok cheers.
I don't think so, he said something about some news about him and some idiotic journalists made the rest up so they would have a story.
Soooo. Tomorrow?
There should be a thread called 'Redcafe greatest moments' or sthing, this thread had some real gems.
Today!!
If this was true, we should just do it. Much as I love Hernandez, we don't actually need either of those players. Letting them go costs us nothing.
Agree. Nani has no role at all and Pea's 3rd/4th choice. The money we could get from selling them separately isn't worth it if it means no Vidal IMO.
Is the tweet that comes every few days to keep the Vidal to United flame strong?
yes but that is a total of EUR 75-80 million; for Vidal. 30+2 players would be a decent deal for Juve.
But then again that's probably what is holding up the deal
I think he said that he hasn't been involved in any talks but they expect to have some news on Hernandez within a couple of days.
Of course, but that's why it involves preparing bids (aka deciding what the payment options are) followed by a negotiation, not an eBay buy now sale.
So...
Nani - £10m?
Hernandez - £18m?
+ around 40m transfer fee...they'll be wanting upwards of 65 million pounds? He's 27, a midfielder and unproven in the PL. Way too much, surely?
You're bloody kidding me. Some actually fecking news?! That's not even what this is about any more, we blindly hope and Woody delivers out of the blue with seconds to spare.
That said, £45m + Hernandez + Nani seems extortionate even for Vidal. But then when you announce to the world that money is no problem i guess this is what happens.
Unproven in the PL really? Guess we should focus on James McCarthy then and for get about Vidal.
You're looking at it from the wrong perspective.
Nani - around 100k/week wages for a winger that's useless in 3-5-2, is constantly injured and fails to deliver when played.
Chicharito - a lovely player who's sadly not content with his role and I imagine he's our 4th choice striker right now. Doesn't sound like a bright future for him sadly.
And then the 40m transfer free. While I'm against arming Juve with players and money, I surely won't be tearing my hair out if that's the deal. I'd happily put Ando there somewhere on the plane as well. For them it's getting a winger and a striker. For us it's trimming down the deadwood ( Nani ) and using a makeweight in Chicharito who we probably wouldn't use as often as he/we would like to.
