Yep sadly. So we picked up Owen on a free instead. I wish I was joking.
But Redcafe said he only wants to join Real
who is little lilliois?
Would be a great start to the Ineos era.
Tier 1 for any thing Lille.
We have people in charge now that can actually convince players that our club is worth joining now thankfully, without us simply having to write silly numbers down.
Cheers
Very obvious ploy to get Madrid to cough up.
I’m cynical, so my guess is that United offered him a boatload of cash in the form of wage. Easy to be “touched” in that case. Hope we can persuade him to be here.
Or maybe we are just trying to sign a top quality player.
There’s no ploy. Madrid have a choice and they are choosing to stand on not overpaying.
I don’t doubt they we are trying, I’m just saying it’s not going to work.
The “the player is touched, Madrid need to act” story is there for one reason; to get Madrid to actually put their hands in their pockets, but they know they don’t need to overpay when the player only has them in mind.
One can always dream.
Not redcafe. Pretty much everywhere.
Also that tweet is almost as though Lille would benefit from leaking a bidding war..
C’mon Leny, Madrid don’t want you like we do.
That’s what he said
God tier for Lille
Madrid will swoop in at the 11th hour as per
Feck off Real, he is one of us.
Appreciate the love Leny. It’s the most important thing in life besides money and we are ready to offer that too to appreciate how much we love you.
Bottom line is if Real want it, they will get him so the only thing we can do is hope.
I don't know a lot about him but there must be something in him, would be good to take Varane revenge
Question is what our internal timeline is before we move on as we can't wait forever.

I miss this guy. If he was still here maybe we can get this over the line?:
"We can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can only dream of,” Woodward boasted in the summer of 2014. “Watch this space.”

Why the long face
Would Lille get a “tribunal” type fee if he went on a free? If not they should, and in these scenarios the guide price should be based on his market value, which is clearly what we are willing to pay in this scenario.
This is a much worse scenario that the Todibo one and only that transfer is banned. Shows it up for what it is really
Doubt it, plus Real aren’t going to be offering him chicken feed. He’s a potential generational talent at CB, with two of the biggest clubs in the world scrapping over him. He might want Real but they wouldn’t get away with a massive reduction in wages compared to what United would offer him.
I am guessing it's not a huge priority for Real Madrid either. There will be other young centerbacks.
Maybe, again, not entirely sure. I assume so though, but I have no idea!
I thought Lille had accepted our offer - therefore he either does or doesn’t want to join us?
Cant be hanging around waiting for Madrid to bid or not. If no answer from him quickly then doesn’t seem the wisest pursuit.

I tend to agree we need a decision, we can't be held in stasis while Madrid decide if they want to pay for him and he's holding out for them to up their offer.
Real is his priority and there is fair logic from posters insinuating he'd wait. Romano and Ornstein etc all said real are his biggest priority.
There are many posters basically suggestingit's over and he's signed for Real. Not the case.
Reads like his agent walking the line. Ultimately wanting Madrid to come in and get the deal done, but makes me think he's not planning on holding out to leave on a free to go there.
No ones is suggesting he's signed for Madrid. Fact is always that Madrid are comfortably his biggest priority.
As told, we have a special fund for him, so if he gives the green light, we get him irrespective of any other ongoing or pending business.
There are people acting like it's a foregone conclusion though, that's what I'm saying.
Give him a deadline and pressure him to make a decision. What good is a player who takes months to make a choice?
What could possibly go wrong with trying to strong arm from a weak initial position?
