good one!Sarcasm? the value stuff is the deadest of dead horses, mercilessly pummeled for over a year!
It was clearly sarcasm.
I can't believe people are still using that line.

We were interested in Ballack but he just chose Chelsea over us.
We'll never get him for £12M unless they want a player thrown in as well.
Barcelona don't need him and they are not even linked to him. I don't think he is going to fit in at Madrid where there are Khedira, Ozil, Kaka, Alonso and Diarra.
He says he likes the Premier League, so I reckon its between us and Chelsea. City is becoming like Madrid. They buy all the players but they don't everyone. I don't think they need him there either with Silva, Milner, Toure, Barry and De Jong there.
I don't know about that price for January but if it comes to June or July and he decides not to sign a new contract, then that is the price they will be looking to sell. No team will play 25M for a player who has less than 12 months left on his contract.
It depends if there are two teams bidding for him.
One word: Hargreaves.
City signed De Jong for 20 m just 6 months before his contract ended.
I don't know about that. Ballack told him he'll fit in well here and his brother is a huge United fan. So I m keeping my fingers crossed.
Well that's just because they are stupid. They have the money to throw it around, so they did. They might have needed a player to cover for someone's injury or something. He is not even worth 20M.
I recall them being interested in Park during the summer.
Why do you say that? we might get priced out but I can't see why he wouldn't want to join United if the deal could be done.
Key word there is City.
No value in this kind of remark
Also, there's no way in hell we'd get him for £12 million
On a serious note, all this still seems part of an elaborate contractual hardball to me.
Nah I think different. His does not feel exactly comfortable at Bayern and this is not something new. He has been going at it with the fans for a season or two now. So I think there is a possibility of him moving abroad.
I thought he is overrated but I guess I was wrong. Could be an excellent signing for us.
Wont get him for £12 Mill but we should try and push to get him
If we signed Hargreaves for 18 million, he should be worth at least that even if his contract is running out.
I'm worried about signing a player from Bayern, they'll probably behead Schweinsteiger and our medical staff will fail to notice the balloon head Bayern replace it with for a laugh.
No we weren't Fergie said he was too similar to Scholes and Rooney for us to be in for him
That's not even true.
He'd be an amazing signing for us in my opinion.
18 million pounds sorry.
his contract wasn't finishing either.
There was going to be a clause activated allowing him to leave for something like £4.6million six months after City signed him.
I thought it was £14m.
Citeh could actually do with a player like him that controls midfield, none of the current crop do it well enough. But hope they don't go in for him
I already posted that link a few posts above last night.
Just noticed that.
I've always been a huge fan of Schweinsteiger - I hope he doesn't wind up at City or Chelsea.
If United sign Schweinsteiger for 12m in January I will eat my hat Alaistair style.
As much as I would like it to happen, realistically it's not going to happen is it?

The one player out there that I will go absolutely muppet for - in terms of possible signings. Being cup tied for half a season doesn't matter when he could be a key player for 5-6 years if not more.
Hope he decides to try something different but, agree in that it seems more of a play to up his next contract.

I don't really see why people give a big deal about him being cup tied. Its only for six months, not like he is going to be for the rest of his career. We are playing in Europe well right now without him.
After all the Premier League is also important and we could rest either Carrick, Fletcher or Scholes for the Premiership and use them for the later stages of the Champions League.

I don't actually think you'll get many arguments here. But Fergie never seems to do that, and is always talking about the narrowness of the market in January because so many players are cup tied.
12m is a joke. There's no way anyone will get him for such a fee.
Ozil, VDV, Chamakh (unknown but looking top class atm)
