Yeah he dropped his wages. All for the 'love', don't think he's feeling muched loved now though. However a pay rise may change that.

Barca won't give him a pay rise. I am sure they would rather have 40m euros for him, except they apparently haven't even finished paying for him.

He would go from £85K to £200K if he comes to United. Quite a jump.

So, an additional 5m per year (on top of another 5m) if he moves to United. Damn, footballer.
 
If it was about a contract would he not be out in the press talking about how he feels unloved, maybe asking for more playing time, and insinuating that he might be open to a move. Players who want to force the issue and use interest from other clubs to their own gain generally don't get new contracts and pay rises by saying feck all.

Exactly. And a club like United wouldnt make 3 bids for a player that only looks to get an improved contract at his old club. I think this is pretty much on.
 
I don't think anyone with sense thinks this is about an improved contract plus I doubt Barca would give him one right now either. Like they say he's important but not top earner important.
 
EDIT - Never mind, seen it now.

Still find it strange that it is taking such a long time between reports of the bid going in and being rejected.
 
If the third bid as been rejected , it's not as if we weren't told by Barca.
 
You never think anyone's coming. What a best man you'd make.

Outside Church

Best Man to Groom "Let's not kid ourselves here, mate. No way she's going to show up."

"And you'll never get anyone as good mate. You're shit and don't deserve anyone good. Maybe that big girl with the fuzzy hair over there. That's your level mate."
 
Yeah, not exactly been confirmed and looking at the talk in the twitter thread, it isn't clear whether it is referring to a third bid or the second bid.
 
We've probably had more bids rejected in the past.....especially for Berbatov, probably had like 5-6 rejected for him.
 
Things are quiet and that has usually been a sign that we are making progress on our targets, keep the faith!!

From what I can understand the talk referred to the second bid, 35M euros, ie 30M GBP
 
Rejecting our bid would completely fly in the face of Martino's comments.

I'm confused.
 
You would expect there would have been a third bid by now. If Barca are keeping quiet about bids now then it might be a good sign ( or maybe they just want to ease Uniteds embarrassment).

The thought of Barca 'easing' our embarrassment is embarrassing..
 
I really like the tone of Martino in his last interview btw. Really changed quite a lot compared to not so long ago. Also Fabregas not willing to give interviews is also interesting. After Thiago I'm officially getting dragged into this again.
