I thought I mis heard that. They did say he is actually travelling, right? So it's no agent or Woddie possibly on a plane somewhere.
The actual player in his physical form is travelling.
This is what they call real news
Yep, according to "Sky sources".
And I know. So refreshing. Just like the old days.
I havent been particularly impressed with him with the couple of games I've seen him play, but he's considered the best CB in Serie A for a reason. If we break the bank for him I hope he's as good as people say he is.
From the preseason game against Roma, he likes to play a lot of longballs from the back

+ Ferdinand to QPR and Shaw to us
If we do sign him we'll miss him in january for the AFCON
So this has been on SSN?
Yes they are. The clown going for 50 million is like you lot buying a washed out Torres for the same price. Means fck all. And you lot played your best football for 2 seasons under the same Benitez.
Would be a great addition to the squad, as good a cb as we can realistically sign, better than the three we Currently have. Emphasis should be on getting deals done now because of our injuries, to give them time this Settle and because our so a called easy start doesn't look so yay anymore.
Benatia, khedira, di Mari and one of blind or rojo would be a fantastic window and potentially change the whole outlook of the season, all, of the are for sale as well so it's time for the club to start backing what they say.

I'm watching SSN now and nothing on there so far.
Benatia Vidal and Rojo would be such a good end to the window.
If he's travelling to hold talks the deal must be near done. Which means it's been in the pipeline for a while.
Guardian are saying that it's being firmly denied
According to a official AS Roma forum
Benatia will joins us....they believe he cost us 35m €
They will sign Manolas from Olympiakos for 7m and some other young italian defender

More valid news in one day about Benatia joining than the whole Vidal saga.
Makes no sense, why is it not on the yellow ticker, would be a massive transfer story for SSN to break, seem to be going at it halfheartedly.
No surprises there, we deny everything this summer until it's complete.
Vidal day is this week though.
That's not how you pronounce his name, Skysports. It's Benatia with a strong "t".
Where? When? How?
He's travelling down to Manchester? That's going the long way round.
And we're still in talks with Roma? But they've let us have their player anyway? Cool.
How dare you lot doubt Jim White.
We've probably been preparing a bid behind the scenes for years.
The Guardian are typically clueless about our transfer dealings.
Jim White has contacts and genuine sources in Italy. Daniel Taylor and Jamie Jackson just phone up United and ask for a comment. They are literally always the last to know.

Get it done and then sign Rojo and then we need a defensive midfielder, then players back from injuries then hopefully Van Gaal gets us playing then we are good to go.
You do know we're all going to be so sour when this turns out to be a non-story. Caf goes into meltdown... Again.
Worth mentioning that he will be going to the African Cup of Nations.
Finally a CB.That's not overly unusual. The clubs still working on the fee but clearly it's in very late stage so player has been allowed to talk
Doesn't count for much when United seem to be denying everything this summer though.
If it is true that he is being allowed to travel to Manchester to hold talks for personal terms, then between clubs it must have been sorted out.
Best in the business because he only really reports on official deals that are confirmed by the clubs. If you want the drop on a signing as it happens you won't get it from Danny.
I'm going to admit I've seen this guy play less than 5 times
But I've heard of him a lot. I am excite

Getting him and Rojo would go a long way towards sorting out our shitty defense.
Pisses me off it's taken until the season starting and losing a game to make things happen
