True but there would be reports if a deal was close, especially for the likes of Fabregas. Garay has been a 'done deal' for months, my guess is after the recent disappointment (Thiago and Rooney) they want some good news to report. It's just my opinion, hopefully I'm completely wrong.


Feck off! Stop bringing my mood down.

Well exactly. He's been "signed" about 10 times now, yet he's still not our player. What does that tell you about the validity of those stories?
 
The problem is the hype of him returning home has gotten so out of hand that unless it is Cesc, Messi or Ronaldo it will most certainly be a letdown.

Well if it's a done deal why is e coming home? He shouldn't need to and could wait. I think we are all going to end up disappointed anyway. Even if we get Ronaldo & Messi we still wont be happy.

I'll be disappointed if it's someone from Everton or Garay. Not remotely exciting...
 
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Not even a week ago people complained about us not being direct enough in our statements which cost us the Thiago deal, apparently. Now we seem more open than ever and it's still bad.

Well because somebody held such a view does not mean it was mine. In any case, I don't have a problem with communication per se, just thought today's wasn't particularly subtle at all and seemed a bit excitable. 'Everybody, I'm heading off to conduct major transfer business'. Like, really?

We didn't really announce it, Sky did.

To conclude the deal to get some good publicity, the club has been a circus these past few weeks. Ideally if we would have signed Thiago we would have announced Garay after the tour, but with the recent let downs we need something good to report. Like I said before though I really hope I'm wrong but it's all very convenient just hours after the Rooney 'saga'
 
Would there be a more depressing outcome of this than Rooney signing a new 4-year deal with the club?

Good publicity for what and something good to report to whom?

Exactly, it's not a huge name imo, we need a really big name to get some good publicity and please the fans now. After the names we've been linked to... Garay is nothing near massive, even now, a lot of people don't want him because we don't "need" him according to most, Vidic, Rio, Evans, Smalling, Jones... We need a midfielder really to bring joy to the fans, and not Fellaini.. a big name CM. If we do get Garay, then I'd half expect Vidic to end up leaving, so it wouldn't please us for long would it.
 
Is he back yet? Surely for a matter of this importance they could have found a spare Concorde sitting around somewhere.
 
His flight will somehow take a week. Everything with us is a long process.
 
I am prepared to jump on the bandwagon that we are on the verge of a decent signing. Why? Because the idea feels good.

However, I would not be surprised if we hear tomorrow that Rooney has submitted a written transfer request...... or at least got little Kai to pen it for him.

Sad to see him go under these circumstances, but he is way to irrational these days, for this club.

I don't see why we didn't just invent a teleporter. Planes, ffs. We're such a shit club. PSG just fly about in their stadium and pick players up, Monaco have a UFO and beam players up, Chelsea kidnap their targets... yet we're using a fecking aeroplane. Disgusting. I'm sickened by our club. They don't even respect us fans.
 
The whole situation is bollocks, we are potentially losing one of our best players- a goalscorer and matchwinner. The idea of him going to the renties makes me sick. We however have not helped ourselves,
Moyes' comments re: Rooney were not ideal even if misinterpreted, we have been slow again in the Market, the failure to land thiago and the timing of the fabregas bid were not good, the indecision with nani, Evra etc


Then we have the ABU media, the shit spouted by mourinho and the links to unnecessary signings such as Garay.

Hopefully the club will come out and clarify what is happening soon and end this media circus and give us some good news like the signings of bale and fabregas.
 
Just hearing this now, the question i would ask why did he fly out in the first place when it is important for someone to manage the transfers.
 
What if we sounded out Dortmund about Lewandowski after the Rooney shite came out and they replied favorably? Surely they'd love to cash in on him and get one over on Bayern by not letting him go there. MUPPETS, ATTACK!
 
It's gotta be Felliani or even Baines.

Not trying to be sarcastic but we did make a bid for Baines a couple of weeks ago and Felliani has a buy out so they prediction it's them two.

Or it's a straight swap with Barca for Fabregas. We get what we want, plus Rooney goes abroad. Barca get Rooney, and as a small extra, they get to annoy Mourinho by taking his only target!

Well yeah, but we put in a bid for Fabregas 2 days ago! :drool:

Tito & Rooney to crash a Chelsea press conference to announce Barcas capture of Rooney. Tito then poked Mourinho in the eye and they leave, the next 10minutes is Mourinho rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
 
Odd request, but does anyone remember a picture of a United official recently posted, possibly with Moyes or someone else signing a deal? The bloke was black, apparently. A mate of mine reckoned he was Edward Woodward. They were in an office with Not Edward Woodward nearest the camera. Can anyone send me the link to it?
