There were calls for the Vidal thread to be locked. Of all the threads, this needs locking.
Mats Hummels
- Thread starter No.8
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Did Robin?
This thread is like Groundhog Day without the comedy.
And of all the rumours and utter nonsense written during silly season this one is the least credible by some distance.
He doesn't want to leave. They don't want to sell. It's a non starter.

Are people going to really dig for evidence where a player after being named the captain left?
Seriously, guys. You'll have to be better than that; Van Persie is unfortunately the exception that confirms the rule.
Just by reading about Dortmund giving him the captain's armband, it's fecking depressing.

This one is done he ain't coming and it was never on. I think this thread lock worthy now.
Captain Hummels. I hate the expression, but, Close the thread.
We were never going to get him anyway. So him getting the Dortmund captaincy is rather insignificant.
I don't say it's on but......
Ujfalusi was Hamburg's captain just for one day before they've sold him to Fiorentina in 2004
I hope we never sign him, for the fee's banded about he's always looked like a liability to me
goal.com quote Langerak (Dortmund's second keeper) with: "Er hat mir nichts dergleichen gesagt und wir sind gute Freunde", verriet er Goal im exklusiven Gespräch: "Soweit ich weiß, wird er definitiv bleiben und wahrscheinlich seinen Vertrag sogar verlängern."
which translates to:
he told me nothing of the kind [regarding transfer rumours] and we're good friends. as far as I know he will definately stay and probably even extend his contract.

I've seen the quotes just on Goal.com and nowhere else so it's bollox (hopefully)
I've never rated him as high as some do, also I have a real dislike for ultra slow CB's.
Well they claim he said that stuff in a goal.com exclusive talk, so that would explain it.
He's not really that slow. And when your positioning is as good as Hummels it really isn't an issue.
You should know better.But we all know Hummels is going nowhere, even before the captaincy.
Dortmund have announced that Hummels is the new club captain.

This is hypothetical, not fora moment suggesting it's happened here, but...
Could you make somebody captain without their consent, thus warding off interest from other clubs?

Ask Wenger.
Indeed, Wenger makes a player captain so he can sell them to Barcelona.
Manchester United told Mats Hummels will remain at Borussia Dortmund

How do you rate the young Australian goalie?
Shock horror.
Dunno. I'm sure he's talented, but he barely gets matches and given that he's turning 26 soon and approaches his 5th season for Dortmund I'm a bit surprised he doesn't try his luck at a smaller club.
When he plays he seems a bit shaky to me (might just be because he lacks routine) but I can't recall any major mistakes (at club level).
The Hunt for Red Hummels
Starting Louis van Gaal as Jack Ryan
Wonder what the Hummer thinks of our team now, and our interests in him.

With the players we've signed in this window and the money made available I can see the press going wild with stories linking us to players like him.
Make it happen Woody!

Christ, the press will be in rapture.

Well.. I'm sure Kagawa told him and the others only good things about his time at United.
Ah, I remember the days when we thought we were in for this guy.
That was before we knew about LVG and Woodie's "Buy all the attackers" plan!
How silly and naive we seem looking back.

"It was awful! They paid me millions of pounds!"
He was never going to leave BVB, am happy we didn't follow this one blindly.
He's probably a lot more interested now in moving here. Dortmund are unlikely to match United in the near future or the long term.
Let's wait at least until United start beating midtable teams again before we make such statements.
We'll pass them.
Maybe not this season, maybe not the next, but soon, and for the rest of their lives.
This is just a blip and you know so. Once we have our first team players available, we will get going. FFS, we had to play Fletcher as the first choice since Herrera was injured and Blind had not signed yet. Can't wait for the QPR game now!
Kagawa was bought without a solid position in mind for him...Hummels would be no.1 choice as a CB
Kagawa was adored by the fans here and he did very well under SAF. He struggled for game time under Moyes but he is no longer our manager. LvG is well respected throughout world football and I am sure Hummels knows that already.
I don't think Hummels is the gloryhunter type of player that goes to the club with the biggest names on the squad sheet to be honest. You might have to wait another couple of years.
