He's ok as a player. If he can reach "United Levels" I'll be haqppy.

Dunno man - cant see him reaching Clevz' level to be honest..
Yeah, I agree. He's ok, maybe even decent. If we can sing him for around 10m and he'll reach Cleverley/Anderson/Fellaini level it will be a good signing.
You never knoiw. Stranger things have never happened.
And even Clevz is barely good enough as a squad player anyway.
Did they rectumfy the rest of their stories while they were at at man?
If only they did that to the paper itself! Funnily enough, I do actually think their online sports section is awesome. Lots to read.

£45m + Nani = £45m
Add up what Nani's contract is & that £45m figure is seriously reduced - what him goin will save us in wages. He must be on around £120k per week or more.
He seems the type that would wound down his contract to milk the shit out of the wages. He wont get those wages anywhere else thats for sure..
He only signed a new 4/5 year deal this year or just before the new year, so if you add his wages up for the remainder of his contract - thats:
£120k x 208 wks (4 years) = £24,960,000
It certainly looks a helluva lot sweeter a deal if you think about that the wages gettin rid of Nani would save us & that £120k per week is only a guess - it could be £150k per week, which is another £6,240,000 & over £31m saved in total wages..
Effectively we'd be gettin Vidal for £14m

It is actually - its feckin massive..
Would take him in a heartbeat for the reported 40mil. Doubt he'd be sold for that much though. 50mil+ player.
No chance Vidal can pass sideways or backwards like Clevz can - he's the best CM of his type in the world...
He learnt from the best in Carrick.
So who the heck is this guy then.

or thier just making stuff up anf picking random numbers.....
I don't know if you're joking or not but no, I highly doubt it.
Depends who wrote the article.
Keeping Nani and Young till the end of their current contracts will cost the club £31m.
Get rid of those two, even for next to nothing, and you fund a move for Vidal.

Adam Crafton. But no, it doesn't. Typo's are incredibly common. The writer has no benefit in making up a ridiculous fee in the knowledge that people will question his writing. The Mail's sports section get a lot of stick more so due to the paper it represents as opposed to its actual work. They've got the best sports writer in the country and their reporting is, for the most part, good.
How do you suggest we do that?
Some no mark, I'd ignore it.
its the daily mail, think about the amount of nonsense transfer storys they report every summer, it hundreds upon hundreds........ they obviously aren't that fussed if what they are reporting is the truth or not.
There are plenty of clubs who would be interested in Nani for £5m or so. And plenty who would be interested in Young for a nominal amount.
Asking for fees that low will allow interested clubs to offer them higher wages as well.

Why would we get rid of them for next to nothing? Have you seen how a transfer window works? Like ever? There will be lot of takers and they will pay good money for buying them.
They are both on 100k+. Who'd offer them that much even if we do let them go on the cheap? Last year, Galatasaray(iirc) refused to buy Nani for 8mil.
What i don't understand is, if we were offering him round to anyone in order to get him off the wage bill, why then give him a new contract? Can't be to secure a decent fee for him.
Didn't someone at united try to argue last summer that the transfer window wasn't that bad because
we kept hold of players like rooney and nani.
They said there was a lot of interest in nani from juve and others but we held onto him and tied him to a longer deal.
Same with rooney and chelsea.
Phil Neville was bigging him up before the usa game i think too.
It seems that someone at united still rates him.

Little help, please. MEN reported some other rag had said Utd had met the Vidal release clause of 40M. I understand that is likely rumor but I see all of this other rumor of Nani plus Euros.
If Utd meet the release amount does that not release the player? If there are other clubs in, and surely there must be, can Vidal's owners wait on the best price or are they bound to release him when that clause is met?
United gossip: Reds agree to meet £40m Vidal fee

I think this Vidal thing is all just wishful thinking on our part.
There is no link other than articles which say stuff like, 'Vidal would cost United £40m.' Unlike with Shaw and Herrera (in Jan) where there was obviously something moving behind the scenes.
I wouldn't be surprised if the bullshit media who make up these transfer stories are monitoring this site, so when someone originally says, "Vidal is a good player, wish we had him," some idiot on a website thinks it's a good idea to make up the transfer story.
In my unenlightened opinion, there is absolutely no foundation to these rumours.

40 mil is the supposed fee demanded by Juve, not the release clauseLittle help, please. MEN reported some other rag had said Utd had met the Vidal release clause of 40M. I understand that is likely rumor but I see all of this other rumor of Nani plus Euros.

was reported in the express, which spouts nonsense, media is clueless since Woody got on the ball.
Just seems impossible we could pull this one off, one of those ones I refuse to even contemplate will happen, Van Persie apart too much disappointment from previous years has taught me a stern lesson on 'muppet' signings.
I'd be happy enough for us to include Nani in the deal, but just to get it straight thats an extra £15 million or so on the transfer fee. Longterm deal, good world cup, hence the interest from someone such as Juventus
Juventus have been linked with Nani for a long time now. I'd not be surprised if they wanted him.
Would happily give them £35m + Nani for Vidal. That's a bid of close to £50m which they couldn't turn down.
But do they need someone like Nani in their system???
It's been said they want to move to a 4-3-3 i think, would be ideal.
