LIDL has some very good products tbh.
Mehdi Benatia | Signed for Bayern Munich
- Thread starter Maroon Lucifer
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Again; our wage structure is around yours. Was bigger in 2013. And is probably bigger now, with Lewa and Reina.
You cant. And I dont mean that in a bad way. I just state facts to bring the right picture.
About Benatia:
New reports in Germany point to him going there.. His people are in Munchen according to Sport1.de

we will never know for sure but does anybody else suspect that if we had bid 30 million a couple of weeks ago (before the extent of bayerns injuries were known) we could have had it all finalised and even used the player against swansea (and who knows perhaps got a different result)
No point leaving it till deadline day anyway as they will miss 10% of the season then spend another 10% getting to know the team / what is expected of them
This. Plus, our track record of handing out big wages to average signings like Fellaini and Young makes me sceptical that we will give the likes of Rojo and Blind "entry level" wages.
Interesting. Sport1 (a TV channel after all) just showed his "agent" who went into our club office.
I dont think that they lie there.
Didnt he get a new contract this summer?
Has jim white deleted his tweet yet to keep his great record up of predicting transfers?
Still there.
We will probably get Rojo and not him
Jose should still sign him up if the bit about preferring Munich or Chelsea is true. Would be our best transfer summer ever and I would say Mikel and Cech could move on to cover the limit.
So many clubs chasing CB's this summer and they all somehow managed to let Garay go to Russia cut price.
Still don't get it.
Still don't get it.
Di Marzio says that Bayern reps have met Benatia's agent and on the other hand Roma are trying to improve his deal to stay. No mention of United whatsoever

You could almost write the script.
Seems Sky were wrong on this then.
Just odd because they ran with this story unilaterally almost.

I'm shocked.
That is shocking to me... when I saw the Sky report I thought it to be 100% true....wonder what happened.
I'm not reading any more of this shit , my heads up my arse !
He so called flew to manchester saturday , then was seen flying to munich on sunday ..... when all along he was sat at home with his fez on being offered a new contract by Roma !!
Well i be damned !!!
I'd rather see him staying at Roma than seeing those MiaSanMiawankers getting him
They are still mostly reliable tbh. Nobody can be 100% correct.
It's just less reliable and more reliable.
Heres the propoer english translation of what Di Marzio has reported:
"Despite the attractive suitors, Roma want to keep Benatia. In the past days, the agent of the Moroccan defender met Bayern Munich to understand their real intentions, but the summit was indecisive. Roma haven’t received any offer. In the next days, his representative will talk with Roma to discuss the extension and the pay raise. The parties seem willing to reach an agreement, the renewal appears to be only a formality. The European top clubs attempt to buy Benatia, but Roma don’t give up and try to lock down their star defender."

Apparently Bayern are going for Godin instead.
The surprise has been that no one else has. It's hard to imagine him moving but who knows.
Sound like "we want BIG money". Sport1 talked about 40 million euros.
What's that around 32 million quid... It does not sound unreasonable.
This will happen, I'm telling you.
If the price is €40m, then pay the fecking fee! We've spent similar amounts on less talented players this summer so if we're willing to pay that much for Herrera and Shaw, then splurge on someone we desperately need in Benatia. Benatia is also more value for money than the other two as well so we should have no qualms about the fee.
Bayern is the only interested club. My emotions right now, in that order: 
Baffling.
Weird that sky got it wrong, I had real hopes he could be our new Vidic... guess this is what happens when you dont plan appropriately and you have a shit CEO.
Vidal and Benatia should be ours, instead we'll get Rojo and Blind.
Huh?
Honestly, it's not surprising in the slightest.
TBF Jim White is usually spot on when it comes to transfers.
My guess is that we bid and Bayern just came in and took over a la Lucas.
PS: 2000th post!
That would be great for Bayern. He is a proper defender who actually knows how to defend.
Dimarzio:
"Emerged in the last minutes that the agent of the defender will meet Roma’s Sabatini tomorrow. They will discuss the potential extension and the pay raise. An important contractual offer could lead to a complete agreement between the parties. Or maybe there’ll be a delay or even a break up. The scenarios are not defined yet, meanwhile Bayern Munich are pursuing him. The German club is the only one that is really interested in Benatia, they are willing to offer €25M plus bonuses, to be paid in two years. The bid is too low compared to Roma’s price tag. Tomorrow could be the day of truth for Benatia"

we are shit at transfers thats what happened, woodward is useless and the glazers are tossers
Bayern low balling.
Roma would want atleast 15 million euros more i'd imagine. If we were interested we'd surely pay that and make Bayern pay up.
They are still largely reliable after the BBC. No one has 100% sources, tbf.
