Wtf! Is this really on? Aren't Bild pretty accurate when it comes to Bayern? Or was that Kicker?

it does sound suspiciously certain.
if the English rags and journalists are suddenly over it tomorrow it may have something on it.
RVP has an undisclosed bonus, that might be frightening.
While i agree with the general point you are trying to make that we could do with more midfielders.
But i have to ask since when were Blomqvist and Cruyff midfielders?
They were both wingers neither ever played CM for United certainly not the treble year anyway, also P.Neville never played in midfield during that season he was cover for both fullback positions (our only cover).
For a similar price, Liverpool signed Nathaniel Clyne.
Not yet getting too excited. But feck this would be brilliant. True leader on the pitch.
Difference is we wanted rid of RVP due to his wages. Schweinsteiger is 3 years younger than Alonso and he is also a year younger than RVP. FFS he's not only some tragic decline either. Paul Scholes had an injury hit year when he was 30 odd, played 27 games, iirc we all thought he was going bloody blind. He did alright for a few years after. Top class CM's age well.
yessssss !!!!!!!!! Get the feck innn.....
Holy mother of feck balls. I still want Morgan though.
Oh mummy.
This'll (technically) be the first ever German at United.
What a coup if true.
20m in the last year of his contract and he'll be 31 when the season starts. I don't know what to think.
They did similar with Götze. Once they break a story, it is reliable as it gets.
He is as old as Scholes in 2005. Scholes gave us a few world class seasons since then. I am not sure that the injuries of last year will be the norm. Again for comparison Schweini played 28 matches last season. Scholes played 27 in 2005-2006.
If he is past peak then it is bad, but if not then we will have a fantastic midfielder for a few years. At the worst case, I think that he'll be a very useful player and a much needed leader in a team who lacks them.
Anyway, I am most excited for this signing because there is the possibility that Van Gaal will Schweinsteiger Schweinsteiger. How cool that would be?!
If they tell he transfers it is pretty accurate. Not when they speculate.
I will literally LITERALLY explode and turn into jellied eels if this is true.
According to a couple of posts on reddit it might be true.
30 is the new 90.
For £13m a player of his calibre and experience is a snip. Euro is weak too.
Transfer-hammer!
Welcome to Manchester
That fee, just low enough to be within the acceptable range to pay, just high enough for a whole bunch of people to moan about.
Who gives a shit, its Bastian fecking Schweinsteiger.

His brother must be delighted!
Think about how absurdly rich we are.
We're not in latter-day Fergie Valueland any more. Listen to the manager!
Rvp was on massive wages tho, and had only a year left on his contract
This is the one I want, for that reason I'm not going to get too excited in case it doesn't happen.
But if it does this would be on a par with Scholes coming back, and getting RVP.

@pocco will still find something to blame Woodward though.If this is true... I am going to dig up and humiliate every single pessimistic cnut in this thread who were bla-ing about how us muppets were stupid for believing.
And now for Ramos
20m euros is peanuts for us. 13-14m pounds for Schweini and people are complaining. What has Schneiderlin done to you all.
I believe so, yes
. For a while now it looked like he wants to play abroad in the last few years of his career. Can't really hold that against him, I probably would want the same in his position. Going abroad to work for a few years was a brilliant decision for me.You guys better treat him well.
Would be a great signing if true.
Don't believe it till it's breaking over here
Technically, we did have Ron-Robert Zieler in the first-team squad before, though he never made a first-team appearance with us. The closest he came was a bench appearance for a League Cup fixture against Middlesbrough (I think it was the match where Possebon got badly injured).
Great stuff if true, hope it doesn't mean no Schneiderlin though.
To be fair, whether it's a good deal or not, 20m are nothing for top clubs.
@Balu confirms... It's on!!
Sure he'll get first dibs on the treatment tableI believe so, yes
You guys better treat him well.
If true, roughly the same price as Nathaniel Clyne to Liverpool. For those complaining about the intended fee instead of getting excited I'd consider that a little bit of perspective.
And drifter no doubt
Yeah, hence the 'technically'. Zieler's actually doing pretty well now isn't he?
