I don't think most of you are getting the reason for the Nani loan. Quite evidently Sporting was willing to drag this out since they were getting peanuts from the deal. If we had raised our offer, the third party owners would've received 75% of the incremental fee. So to expedite the process and get Sporting on board, we are giving them Nani on loan with us paying his wages. So indirectly we're paying Sporting more and making their time worthwhile. The same thing majority of people on the board accuse United of NOT doing: Just pay up and complete the process.

Damned if you, Damned if you don't

Hopefully he'll be worth it. People want us to just pay up and get things done on quality players. If the player isn't all that good then penny pinching does makes sense. But I understand the point you're making of course.

If Sporting pays 25% means United saved 25% of his wages, and he's not going to play anyway.

Nani's reportedly on £95k a week. So if there's anything truth in these rumours, we're paying him £70k+ a week to pay for Sporting this season. For a squad as stretched and ridden with injuries as ours, its a silly bit of business.

We should either

a) Sell him
b) Loan him with the recipient club paying his wages
c) Keep him and use him in the squad, regardless of how frustrating he is.

This halfway house nonsense strikes me as a bit desperate.

a) No one wants him as he won't lower his wages, the t****r.
b) Same point as a). If you mean Sporting they won't or can't do that as explained above. They're not getting the full whack for the transfer fee.
c) Maybe. But he's been shit for ages now. D'you really think he's going to do anything?

What mystifies me is why we signed a new contract with him under Moyes. We'd have saved more money just letting him go surely?
 
It's a strange complaint after everyone moaning about how amateurish it is of United to have apparently missed out on a player this summer due to a few million £ in difference. It means we give them a few extra mil, but atleast this way there's a chance of getting some cash back at the end of it.

And obviously, it helped the deal get pushed through.

Its not a risk. He's worth £14 million now, hence thats all we'd get for him as opposed to the £20 million+ we would have got if we sold him a few years ago when he was on form

Can't blame him for accepting a contract we put in front of him, not his fault no other club is stupid enough the shell out that much. We have more money than sense these days.

What if Rojo is just insane and we have not made a bid for him at all?

I have wondered this myself, there was very few reports that weren't based of what this guy himself said or did. Or maybe he's managed to confuse Woody into buying him. We never placed a bid at first until Woody heard we'd bought him and being so overjoyed at the fact he's actually managed to sign someone has gone along with it. This could be the first case where a player actually signed themselves.

Exactly, who in their right mind would refuse that much money to do football training every day and play the odd game?
 


He's got Mark Lawrence's approval. Good enough for me.
 
Reminds me of Buttner. He was all over the social media announcing the move and there was nothing from the club
The tattoos, shit hair and being left footed defenders might have something to do with it too.

Well some players, if they're not playing, just want out. To me, that says something about their character.

Another reason why I'm glad we're (hopefully) getting rid. I mean, like he's played like a 95k a week player for the last three seasons....

But I do agree that getting him to sign a new deal was stupid. Can anyone explain it to me?
