Denials happen ALL the time with transfers. To take each one as gospel we may as well start instructing referees to take a player's word as to whether they dived or not.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I don't quite understand why people mock Howard Nurse over those comments - there is clearly a difference. A board can overrule both a manager and a vice vd when it comes to a transfer (at least generally - I am not 100% certain how things are at Barca)
Wow. Just read Moyes's comments. Nothing new but what happened to the I dont talk about players thing? 
Good stuff though, I personally dont think talking/not talking about players makes much of a difference.

It was pretty much confirmed we had made a bid, he could hardly deny it.
It basically means that he is an expert on reneging on every deal, particularly the ones he makes with his players about their future. He takes it personally when a player wants to move to a bigger club or tries to get the wage he deserves. I remember the way he treated Modric too.
Levy is the EPL's version of an autocratic zealot.
Ofcourse. He decided not to use the standard "I dont talk about individual players though".
Rosell just tells people what to do & calls them names quite alot of the time too...
He's whats technically known as a right-prick, all-day everyday also!
Levy is the EPL's version of an autopsy - lifeless & you want to throw-up after lookin at him!
RedCafeUser123: 'Rooney is definitely on his way out, Woodward and Moyes just want more money and to force him to hand in a request. Everything they say is just bullshit with an agenda.'
RedCafeUser123: 'Fabregas is staying at Barcelona, there is 0% chance we will get him, their Chairman say he is staying. There is no way he would say that Fabregas is staying if he wasn't.'

Bit different once you have made an official bid. Barca have not said he is not for sale per se, they have simply deemed the initial bid insufficient. In contrast we have again reiterated (despite Chelsea's initial bid) Rooney is not for sale. So if Woodward has flown back it can only be because Barca are not against selling, it's just a case of what type of bid would persuade Barca to accept, and once agreement is reached, then meeting with Cesc's reps to discuss terms.
Why else would Ed bother to fly back, unless he has received sufficient encouragement to consider the effort worthwhile?
I don't think you can compare the two situations tbh.
At least Moyes is aiming for this level of midfielder, the best players are hard to get and their teams rarely sell them willingly. If Fabregas falls through (which is most likely currently) I wonder who the fallbacks are....
Someones having a medical at Bridgewater hospital apparently. It'll one of citys signings no doubt
Would a Rooney swap for Fabragas be a possibility?
Jovetic.
No of course not, that's never happened before! Look, i'm not saying it will happen, but to use that statement as proof it won't happen is laughable at this stage. Barca's reaction to the next bid we make, will be far more definitive in my view.Don't we do all ours at Carrington now?
One of the best posts on this thread! Take a bow.
Sadly, probably quite close to the ruth too
Jovetic, most likely.
I think that's from next season onwards. Either way, I doubt we'd have a player in for a medical without even a hint of a transfer being done in the media.
Are we allowed to announce major transfers while the NYSE is closed? I would imagine we can't.
"I dont talk about individual players like Cesc Fabregas though, so please dont ask me anything about a bid we placed last week for 30 million Yoyo's, otherwise it'll be a very short press conference & i will go back to my quarters & continue my tapping up of Leighton Baines, My Room Fellaini & that fella from Planet of the Apes.... whats his name... feck it anyway... not worries - i've it saved in my new official partner phone - under "Monkey Man".... So are we all clear now? No questions, none whatsoever about our targets, i dont wanna hear one feckin thing, not one fecking thing, even & i mean even - about the £47.5m Leon Osman bid on Wednesday - do you hear me? Its very disrespectful & i'm tellin ya's...i'm havin none of it..none of it, i'm tell ya's..."
Don't you mean a Clevrolet?
If a door there somehow found its way to be opened - does that count as being ok then?
Unfortunately the Clevrolet breaks down on long journeys if used regularly. Needs to be swapped for another car to finish the jouney.
With time this is due to improve apparently, although no promises are made.
I heard the Chelsea lot have a very dodgy Ford BA lying around and the suspension could go at any minute.
No one can remember - it's been so long
I don't think Carrington's facilities are yet ready to host medicals; I'm sure I saw something about that part of the development not being up and operational until the autumn.
Did you quote the wrong person mate? I do think there's a distinct possibility this might happen now that woodward has flown back from Oz fwiw.
I've been out of the loop this morning and last night and then I see Moyes' quotes. Oh yes
Really think had Fergie still been in charge we could have closed one of these deals. He'd have been a huge selling point.
Yup! If and when we hit their idea of a good deal, the next news will be the player now wanting to leave. Blah blah....
If Cesc genuinely has no interest in leaving, why isn't he saying so?
Thiago would have gone to Pep regardless. WE're still working on the Cesc one so lets wait and watch
Its just damage-limitation - hope for the best prepare for the worst.. Head in a sack & back of the van..
The word Osman should be censored on the caf though.
Ok so, i'll say nothing - i'm telling ya, i wont say Leon's name - do ya hear me? not even a whimper of his surname Osman... Leon Osman - where do i know that from name again... ah yeah - its that fella we...
Come on, we all know we could replace Rooney's name with somebody else.
If it were Bayern Munich who were in the running for him, and we forget that they've just got Thiago, and we don't even consider Guardiola was their manager - would people be so skeptical about the move?
I think people on here tend to be far more negatively inclined when United are involved - I understand we've had some poor history with big names from foreign clubs, but it's like people believe that we are the exception to all the rules they hold for everybody else.
Dortmund's board have been adamant about Lewandowski not going to Bayern, but people still believed it. Ronaldo and Ferguson said that he wouldn't go to Madrid but would stay at United but he went. It happens all the times, and whatever the circumstances, United fans always seem to change their perspective simply depending on whether we are involved or not.
Maybe it's because people don't want to get their hopes up - maybe it's worse because of Thiago.
I think you need a nap.
I've been out of the loop this morning and last night and then I see Moyes' quotes. Oh yes
He hasnt heard the other more recent news from the sound of that post, but will surely have found out by the time i post this...
They giveth & then they taketh... fecketh anywayth.. keepth muppethingth...
