He is way too good for Utd, let's be honest
Yes. Might be a mistake to keep on targeting them. We should maybe try for a few players who do actually want to join us.
Sky Sports News is FAKE NEWS!! Sad!The sky reporter who broke the news is now backtracking on it...
End this shambles of a window now!
Another old man, ffs!
Oh bore off. In any case, what's the point of pursuing a deal for a player who supposedly doesn't want to leave his current club. Should have been a 5 minute conversation before we, again supposedly, triggered the release clause.
is this post really on a United forum?
From the Guardian transfer news page:
'According to the BBC’s Simon Stone, Manchester United did indeed inquire about Diego Godin. But it wasn’t today, it was earlier this week. And they were told to do one.'
Though A.Madrid can't do anything if United bid the release clause. In any case, I wouldn't be that enthusiastic if we sign him. He is 32 so doesn't have alot of peak years left and he will be coming 1 day before the start of the season so he won't have any time to settle with the team and league. If he were younger you could be hopeful for the following season because he would have a long future, but at his age he would be declining by then.

His price reflects his age. At £25million, it would be a good deal. Still don't expect it to happen though if he's not set on joining us.
If we're getting turned down by defenders you know we're in trouble.
Close this thread please.
would only ever really be a stop gap for a season or 2 but as a CB he the best in the world. was superb at the world cup. everything we are looking for. would I love it to happen 100% yes do I think there is any chance of it NO. but could live in hope lol
I'd pay Sanchez wages for Godin if his release clause is so low. He'd be a dream signing.
The price is reasonable but I doubt how good he can be here because he won't have any time to gel with the team and the adapt to the league. Again, we can wait till next season for him to show his true abilities but given his age he will be on the decline, most likely.
we're putting it out there to put pressure on Levy, I'm guessing.
If we can pull this off I would consider it to be a great bit of business.
It's clear we need a calm experienced head at the back and Godin is fecking mint.
Short term? We have an abundance of supposed quality youth CBs that can learn a thing or two from someone like Godin in the interim. 32, still a year or two at the highest level.

When they say athletico rejected it ... I don't understand release clauses
or 3-4 years at our level...
Everyone running this story now, but unfortunately we've been rejected. Why did we lowball his wages at €150,000 though? He's one of the top defenders in the world and one of his main motivations for joining us would be a big bumper contract to finish his career. That's not that much for a world class player.
It's going to be an absolute lottery on which defender we sign, if any.
He would have been sounded out by multiple clubs at the start of the summer. If he had any intention of leaving, he would have.
Now, this would be a proper deadline day signing. 
It's already off... GodOff!
Has his plane landed yet? Any large white cloths spotted at AON TC?
Di Marzio saying it's off.
This is off he just signed a new contract.
Toby ain't happening
If you believe the press you would believe that United hours before the window has closed has just decided to put a bid in for Godin. Window has been open all this time and we suddently just devided to throw a random bid in.
It's called desperation because we haven't been able to sign anyone else
It’ll probably be the first thing he gets right this window
What did he get wrong even?
This, it has to be this!
Benzema to Milan, for one.
Pretty late to be still putting pressure on Levy.
Godoff
Feck, we need to move on and put a bid in for another unobtainable defender, Varane anybody?
Made up story so they can claim we were rejected again
Thiago Silva.
