Maybe we changed his mind tonight. Who wouldn't want to play for United after that? 
Sign him up!
Sign him up!
change dmy mind tonight. Have thought of him as unsure and a flapper befor now, but as, dare i say it, very 'schmeichel-esque' tonight.
I have seen him play like this before. Shame his gf lives in Munich.
It just wasn't the saves though, his commanding of the box was pretty good and his distribution was fecking brilliant, I thought(His throwing was brilliant).
He has been officially added to my transfer muppet list along with Alexis Sanchez.
He was excellent today, and without him we would have won by four or five. He'll be a real asset to whoever employs him next season - he's probably one of the top four or five keepers in world football.
"Best performance I've ever seen from a goalkeeper against Manchester United"
Fergie wants him.
Fergie wants him.
He has taken his game to the next level after being no 1 in South Africa.
There's no doubt Fergie wants him but it's well known he's off to Munich. I'd still like us to pull out all the stops but it's not gunna happen.
It's a lost cause. If it was an issue of Schalke not wanting to sell him, then there'd be a slight chance United could up their bid and change their mind.
Neuer, why go to a team who's fans hates you and is one of your club's biggest enemies? No, come to Old Trafford instead.
He's still got a year on his contract. If United out bid Bayern, the German side might not even have an offer accepted. It could be similar, in a way, to Heinze when he wanted to go to Liverpool. The club stopped him and ensured he went abroad. Perhaps Schalke will do the same to ensure he doesn't join Bayern.
I take it you haven't seen him play this last 12 months. He's been brilliant and I'm amazed everyone wasn't convinced on his abilities after the World Cup.
He was fantastic tonight. Haven't seen much of him before so can't judge his consistency etc but if I'm basing it on tonight and from what others say about him then he is a keeper I wouldn't mind if we went for.
He's big, strong, confident in the air and has decent reflexes it seems. His throws as well could nicely set up a few counter attacks.

He can get a new one when he's over here!
Neuer on german Sky: Manchester United isn`t a option for me and Manchester United never wanted me.
The thread should be closed!!!!!

He didn't really have an awful lot to do in the world cup, a[art from a few saves for the cameras. That German team was very good.
SAF: 'Neuer? I think he's going somewhere else'
Dream on muppets.

He said 'we think he is going to Bayern but you never know'
Reminiscent of the Gazza against Moses-Robson situation, "don't leave the stadium without agreeing a deal for the lad"
Neuer: 'there was never an offer from ManUtd'
Neuer: "Manchester United never was an option. Only in the media."
Interesting.
Even if they don't qualify for the CL next season?
They are currently 5 points off fourth place, and should they not qualify Robben and Ribery could leave. Surely that would make them a less attractive proposition than Utd?
honigstein Neuer: 'there was never an offer from ManUtd'
Yeah, but if you read back to some pages, the deal has already been concluded, so I don't think there's any chance of United outbidding Bayern.
Plus, players have feelings, if he has his heart set on staying in Germany and really doesn't want to come here, but we somehow outbid Bayern for him, it could affect him.
Saying there's been no offer isn't a bad thing. Least it means he hasn't rejected us...yet
Looks like United are going the De Gaea route. Hope they know what they're doing.
He doesn't have to be making flashy saves to look good. One of the things that impressed me most at the World Cup was the fact that he would often have large spells doing nothing but then pull off a top drawer save.
Sign of a good keeper that.
Fergie just said he's never seen a better performace from a keeper against his side in Europe
Goddamn it! De Gea really isn't in the same standard as this fella, bloody Munich!
Oh
saf wouldnt be saying this shit if he didnt think there was a chance. would only piss off our eventual signing
The fact he said there never 'was' an offer, in past tense, from United, surely means he all but signed on the dotted line for Munich. Also saying 'United was never an option' means he was always going to stay in Germany too.
There's no question United were interested and would sign him if he wanted to come here.
