We haggled over 3m euros for Pedro. This is not inconcievable
He's one player who can instantly change our attack regardless who he's surrounded by or our style of play. Gonna write this off as a baseless rumor as the alternative would leave me totally depressed. Would be fecking mental on our part if there was any truth to this.
Actually thinking we haggled over Pedro after the money being spent on Martial 
I told people no one would pay £60m. Could never be true though. That would have been the transfer of the summer. Not even we could be the dumb... Then again!!!
great, so he can threaten to run really fast but then turn and pass it backwards

The martial price isn't even that large when you look at the structure.
If we wanted Reus, we'd sign Reus.
Our fan's desperation to see a big name signed is absurd. Go play fm ffs.
I do not believe for a second we were offered Reus, nor do I believe we would be stupid enough to turn him down.
ESPN reported that Chelsea had signed Aguero two seasons in a row before him joining City. Sure, go on and believe in everything they say as long as its negative about the club. People here loves dem negatives.
Hope its not true.
Was my muppet signing for the summer (well ... him and muller) so would be pretty pissed if we turned down the chance to sign him, regardless of price.

So we were willing and paid 60 million for Di Maria but weren't willing to do it for Reus who's arguably a better player and is younger? Yeah ok...
We just want us to be competitive again, get off your fricking high horse.
ESPN making stuff up again... Nothing to see here.
FFP over expenditure last season bites us hard this season.
Euros and Pounds, are you a journo?
You mean the "people here" of which the majority have come in here and don't believe that its true?
I mean redcafe where people try to be negative all the time.
We paid £60m for Di Maria.
We are competitive. Why bump threads for no reason? First Griezmenne, now Reus.
If it is true that we offered 50m but they asked for 60m and we withdrawn, then our management are mental. Reus is exactly what we need and if we were prepared to give Madrid 100m for Bale, then 60m for Reus sounds like a steal.
What is your point?
I'll get my coat, apologies
I made a mistake
It's off the back of an ESPN tweet to be fair.
Ah bugger. I somehow missed that.
Ah...and yes I am a journalist.
Marketability. Bale is an adidas poster boy and would very likely either become the face of United or share top billing with Rooney.
As players, Bale will never be better than Reus, unless Reus' ankles finally ruin him.
Hmm, what's that smell...?
put this here for @Sphaero or someone to clarify later
Posters losing whatever little happiness is left in their lives over a nonsense tweet. So predictable.
Panic I think.
Once again - most people in this thread have said they don't believe its true.
Where can I see how it's structured?
He would have solved the dead zone that is the right side of our attack.
Senseless paper talk. Nothing in the German media about it, neither the boulevard nor the trustworthy ones. And believe me the way the journalists circled the Dortmund offices yesterday, someone would have broken this news even just to get klicks.
Its in the Martial thread somewhere. We're paying 21m upfront and the rest in instalments and heavily incentivised. For example him winning Golden Boy and Ballon D'or EPL golden boot etc
Yes, I wasn't referring to "most people" either.
Thanks, I'll have a look.
Thanks.
So just another journo earning his living by making up blatant and completely illogical lies. Nice.
To the Pjanić thread!
