You have sold me on him, when does he sign?
Mehdi Benatia | Signed for Bayern Munich
- Thread starter Maroon Lucifer
- Start date
- Status
Nothing on Discovery Channel
Does he speak English?
If the Daily Express report it, will that make it more or less likely to be true?
The ultimate compilation
Goal.com and the tabloids will all be scrabbling to get articles out about it tonight I expect given the likelihood of Jim White being right.
They'll all be the usual drivel of course, claiming to be exclusives but will have no informed news beyond what SS have already said.

Italian site saying we and Bayern interested and the price is going up

That's more likely to be what is actually happening
btw it also says Chelsea are interested too. So it won't be easy.
Get this wrapped up quick!! No messing about Woody, the competition is going to be tough, lets blow them out the water financially. The only way I can see us winning this one.
People are believing Jim 'deadline day' White.
Wow. You must be desperate!
Wow. You must be desperate!
Supposed to be 'on his way to Manchester' though, strange one by Jim White he does seem to call most things right.
Just like we had to do for the Shaw deal.
True... We should believe you instead.
He's more credible than 99% of sources posted here, it's not really surprising.
Pisses me off it's taken until the season starting and losing a game to make things happen
Completely agree. Seems to be the way these days. Clubs target the end of the window to finish their business as opposed to before the opening game. Might be circumstances that have dictated it's that way for us this year, but its bloody frustrating when we've just seen what's happened today.
Please go read his timeline.
Do I believe him over some ITK wanker looking for a few RTs?
I must admit, I've never seen the guy play, but all the reports I'm reading suggest he's a top player - quick, strong, a defender and quality on the ball. Hopefully we'll supplement Benatia with a great midfielder too.
Oh great, we have to compete with those clubs. Forget it then.
Your post has been quoted by Roma fans and they seem worried.

Theyre not but that doesnt stop Beniata being world class. He'll be a great signing for you.
No chance this transfer happens it makes too much sense.
mind you, the source of the calciomercato report is van gaal saying we need to sign more defenders. So they re making assumptions there...unless there s something else to it which they left out
Judging by United's recent amount of activity we have a real chance of signing him in 2015 and don't tell me it's impossible with this chairman.
But the Manolas part?
Wouldn't mind bring Manolas in too, especially for the price he's being touted at. £5m for a player of his quality is a snip. He'll be worth 4x to 5x that in a year.
Sorry missed that, what is this?
imo what seems to be sure us that roma are preparing to sign a replacement for benetia. news about the greek defender was out earlier this week.
Got it now, that was reported earlier too on twitter.
The Calcimercato report is sourced from Tancredi Palmeri
I just realised that this was the story that Tancredi revealed earlier, when we were about to kick off! Makes me more doubtful.
No
This rumour was already on Roma forums before White's tweet
I still would rather pay 35m Euros for Vertonghen instead of Benatia
Wouldn't mind Roma just taking him to replace Benatia also.
Benatia's twice the player atm and while Vertonghen could end up better we need a fix in defence now.
I like Vertonghen, proven in PL too, Levy though is another story!
