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).

Like you haven't googled that!

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.

Exactly! :lol: Do people not remember him, bloodied, playing a massive role in the WC final only 1 year ago? Insane that anyone could be down on this signing.
 
So, what's that, like £14m and £130k a week?

Nani was probably about on that anyway and we paid his wages at Sporting last year. This isn't really costing us much for him.

Brilliant if this happens. Hope we are still in for Schneiderlein as well.
 
I don't really care about Schweinsteiger, will we see Ana Ivanovic at Old Trafford?
 
At £8m people said it was a steal and no chance of it actually happening. At the now rumoured £13m-£14m people think it's extortionate and we're being taken to the cleaners. So what was the fecking right price? £11m-£12m? FFS, get a grip.

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.

:lol: I hope you steer clear of our matchday threads early next season, it may not be pretty.
 
Raw said:
Yeah, hence the 'technically'. Zieler's actually doing pretty well now isn't he?

Yeah, he's doing alright, but with the emergence of Neuer and Ter-Stegen, he's fallen a bit behind the pecking order.

Did I once read one of the caf's German posters saying Bild are a bit shit, whereas SportBild are quite reliable?

Both are shit. But when it comes to Bayern, Bild are kinda reliable while Sportbild, well they're not, they're just shit.
 
Bild have gone hit with that news, putting their neck on the line going that strong tbh.

This. Also, why give a feck about any fee? If Woodward green lights it, then we can afford it.

I've made you a celebrity! the caf has tweeted your response. :lol::lol::lol:

I hope we treat him well too. He is a legend. I hope this deal goes through.

I don't think I've ever followed one of those. I will read his performance thread though and go mental if you don't appreciate the legend he is. I really hope he does well as long as we don't play each other in the CL.

Good signing if we get Schneiderlin as well.

One thing to note though;
RVP = 6m
Schweinsteiger = 20m

Both are 31. We're getting rinsed here. What happened to the clubs being friendly? How come they got Alonso cheap but we're not getting a player (on the decline) with a year left on his contract cheap?

United's a specialist in buying a player higher and selling lower than most clubs.
 
12-14mil pounds, if he does the job, it would be brilliant. Comparing to RVP, RVP costs 5,2mil in wages, plus 2,5mil bonus I believe (some people sad 10mil, but I think it was paid during the duration of his contract - I am not sure of course) and we wanted to sell him, so of course he went for less. I don't think Bastian's bonus will be that high.

I don't know why people complain about fees, we're fecking Manchester United, we're going to have to pay over the top fees.

Anyway, who gives a feck when we can afford it!!!!

Schweinsteigering Schweinsteiger.

Schweinsteigering - verb, the process of changing the natural position of a player.

I believe Oxford are readying this for next year's edition.

I still hope I'm wrong by the way. But I'm pretty sure it's a done deal.
 
I have totally lost my shit at the merest hint that Bild might be reliable for Bayern stuff. My head is just gone, I've lost it. If this turns out to be bollocks I'll never forgive them!

How was he last season at Bayern? Do you think he will be able to do well here?
