The fact that it's in the public arena now. These things are usually wrapped up very quickly and any legal disputes between club and agent would have been investigated and sorted and the right people paid off before a public bid was made known i.e the BBC article. United would have been naively thinking the deal was done to leak that to the BBC or to allow it to be made public and now all the nonsense around Sporting and Doyen emerges and the transfer collapses. I'm not saying the deal is over but our track record suggests otherwise. And Rojo going and doing an interview on their own tv station days after being disciplined for trying to force a move? Doesn't bode well.

It clearly isn't us who made it public though is it and when he's come out and put a transfer request in to force a move to us do you really expect us to still deny it to the BBC? If we'd had "leaked the deal was done" the BBC report wouldn't have said we've had a bid rejected would it ffs? The problem is with the third party ownership it's got feck all to do with us, if Sporting had 100% of his rights you can bet the deal would've been done by now.

He'll be doing an interview to apologise for acting like a cnut, there's about a 1% chance he'll play for Sporting next season. If you stop overreacting to a load of shite and actually think for a second or two you might realise there's not much more we could've done to speed it up.
 


If true, this makes Vidal and his agent look genius for not burning their bridges and waiting for Ed sto rescue them.
 
So this is off as well? Why apologise if he's going to leave.
 
Still hopeful to see this:

LOL.... it just gets better and better, I thought if we're going to sign anyone in the next 2 weeks then it would be this guy but now that looks like it may be off the cards, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he says tonight. If he does come out and commit to Sporting then LVG really wont be a happy bunny..... he's hardly known for his patience and with this shambles of a transfer window I imagine it will be wearing very thin with Woodward and co.
 
Why would he go to Sporting TV if not to apologize? Eric Dier did just about the same and no way did he go there to say goodbye.
 
The fact that the TV appearance is so soon surely hints that a compromise for him to leave has been agreed. If Rojo was still being refused permission to join us, then there would be no need for him to apologise to Sporting until the end of the transfer window.
 
I can't see him staying at all. He basically pulled a Heinze. The best course of action for all parties is to resolve the dispute behind the scenes and that includes him apologizing to the fans because he was in the wrong for not showing up for training. I just hope we don't pay over the odds for playing this mediator role.
 
Is there any player we can sign without having to go through a saga? I mean, Marcos Rojo from Sporting!
 
I'm guessing that similar to how Suarez had to apologize before Barcelona would sign him, Rojo must apologize before Sporting agree to sell him.

Was going to post that pic here. They only show the interview at 9.30 pm but since it´s a recorded interview they showed little bits of the interview. Translating it´s basically what i was speculating. He´s thanking us and the people who work at the club for the oportunity to play in our club after a not so good momento in Russia. I think he´s as good as gone

Is that a "coming up later" thing or are they early. Anyway the subtitle says: "When my career was not in its best moment..."

Which fits a, "Sporting saved me from Spartak. Sporting put up with me when I was crap." apology/thankyou speech.
