SSN: Massive bid received and not from Real. They also showed footage of SAF meeting Benzema, Fergie looked really quite chuffed. The dream move is back on.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

yep lyon have said they have a bid but not necessarily from madrid - me thinks they are instigating a bidding war!
Maybe someone should tell Benzema that it's going to be fecking boiling in Manchester in the summer from now on, I just checked outside, and can confirm reports that Manchester have agreed in principle a deal with Hot weather in the summer.
Now all these pussy footballers can stop moaning about the weather in England, FFS you come to play football not to keep warm 24/7.
Let's see, one of the better wingers in the league.. sure he's no world beater, but doesn't mean he would be a bad signing. We still have class players in the squad.. some are going on and on as though we really are a one man team.
they've signed two of the hottest players in the world (Kaka, Ronaldo), have a shit loads of talent as it is and are linked with some more world-class signings....whereas we have arguably about umm 4 world class players in the entire squad....sorry to burst your bubble but at this current state, Barca and Madrid have a much better squad than us:

= one of the best squads in the world.
Their midfield is panks. They got completely overrun in central midfield by Liverpool. Signing Kaka and Ronaldo won't change that.
LYON DENY ANY DONE DEAL
Source please?
LYON DENY ANY DONE DEAL
They denied a deal hours ago.
All thats happened is Lyon has accepted the bid. If we also put a bid in for him thats accepted then its down to the player. It's not over yet
Did that really happen.
That was old footage, they keep showing it today. They also said that Lyon had said that the bid wasn't necessarily from Real.
Really? didn't know that Rooney and Berba were inferior to their lot and Benzema to Madrid a done deal then is it? Read the latest statement by Lyon?
No deal is done until it's really done. Remember that thick clown, the Shitty fan, who printed himself that Kaka tattoo, wonder how stupid he feels now.
Mascherano/Alonso are better than our Carrick/Anderson, Carrick/Fletcher.
You clearly have no idea how this football malarkey is done. There's this really complex formula that is used to decide who wins each match.
All of the most pessimistic, might as well slit their own throats, right now, United fans get to rate the United players. Every one of them is given 2/10, except for Rooney who is really highly rated, so he gets 3.
They then rate the Real Madrid players, and they are all given 10/10, except for Royston Drenthe, who is really rubbish, so he only gets 9.
And so, the team with highest overall rating wins each match. There's really no need to actually stage a match or anything, and the managers have become all but superfluous.
Or so you'd think.....
I still think he will probably end up with that government supported spanish tossers

Real deal? Lyon deny that Real Madrid have beaten Manchester United to £30m Karim Benzema
Lyon have denied claims in Spain that Real Madrid have completed the £30million signing of Karim Benzema.
In fact, the French club say they have received a bid far superior to the figure widely quoted by Spanish media.
Manchester United are determined to land the France striker are thought to be prepared to offer closer to £38m.
The websites of Spanish newspapers Marca and AS say the 21-year-old's transfer to the Bernabeu as a done deal, but there has been no official announcement from the Spanish giants and Lyon have moved to quash the reports.
Lyon communications chief Olivier Blanc said the story was 'unfounded' and told respected French newspaper L'Equipe: 'The Marca report is substantially wrong in substance.
'We've received an offer of an amount substantially greater than the amount raised, but not to say that it comes from Real. There is no agreement with anyone.'
Benzema is tomorrow due to report back at Lyon after summer vacations when the club's boss Claude Puel will ask the player about his intentions.
Speaking before Lyon today admitted there had been bids, Puel said this week: 'We know his importance to Lyon and his effectiveness in our group: he is an exceptional player, but we also know financial data of a club.
'We will meet up with him when he comes to us on July 2. For several months, he has said he wanted to stay with us, with one year until the World Cup.
'If he has ambitions to leave we will discuss with him any concrete offers, which at the moment is not the case.'
Lyon are well advanced with negotiations for Porto striker Lisandro Lopez and Toulouse forward Andre-Pierre Gignac, while team-mate Miralem Pjanic has admitted he is convinced Benzema is heading for Old Trafford.
Spanish reports said Madrid would confirm Benzema's arrival later on Wednesday or on Thursday. The club's president Florentino Perez warned the next signing would come in a 'day or two' after unveiling new £56m superstar Kaka at the Bernabeu on Tuesday evening.

It probably will
That footage was from the Lyon Games in 07/08....
All thats happened is Lyon has accepted the bid. If we also put a bid in for him thats accepted then its down to the player. It's not over yet
I think the only way this isn't over is if advisers around him have specifically told him not to follow his dream of playing for Madrid and opt for his second choice Manchester United.
No deal is done until it's really done. Remember that thick clown, the Shitty fan, who printed himself that Kaka tattoo, wonder how stupid he feels now.
I've already got Karim Benzema tattooed on my penis. Left space for number after it too, as well as a small biography of his career so far.
It may be time to swtich off the TV and internet for a while
He's a WUM. We know from the original quotes in Equipe that the Lyon spokesman denied that anyone had said that Madrid had made a massive bid. He did not say that Madrid had not made a massive bid.
Sky sports news about 5 min ago,Lyon said they had received a substantial bid not nececsarily from Madrid
The latest statement by Lyon is bullshit like all the other press releases, imo.
Scholes, giggs, Hargreaves all forgotten hey?
kerm onnnnn
Just Fergie doing his usual tapping up!! It looks old though probably when we played them in the Champs league. We should kidnap him like Chelsea done Mikel.
Who you trying kid about the size of your chopper...
No deal is done until it's really done. Remember that thick clown, the Shitty fan, who printed himself that Kaka tattoo, wonder how stupid he feels now.
Heard he had AC.Milan tatooed on the other side, and went of to support Milan.
Many thanks.
sorry just saw it on ssn
Scholes and Giggs, no. But Hargreaves is forgotten yeah. You cannot possible rely on him to be fit now.
Yeah, the best goalkeeper in the world is not world class.
He's highlighted you twit.
Like I said, wait for the Balague!!!
Easily converted into a Chaka Khan tat. No embarrassment whatsoever!

I am not saying we should buy "lifelong United fans".
I am saying I want our players to see United as the pinnacle of their careers.
Big difference.
Jesus, SKY SPORTS have less of a finger on the pulse that RedCafe.
Benzema has his pick of clubs. Why on earth would he sign for us over Madrid and then straight away start looking to move?
Do you even think at all about what you post these days?
