Miranda will not play next season at Atletico. The Brazilian is just one step to become a new player of Manchester United. You are almost ready to Brazil to become one of the core of the new project of devils reds for 2014-2015 campaign. Even the player already searched school their children in the English city. Since the institution of the bank of the Manzanares intention is to maintain the block. The club has no need to dismantle the team that won the league, but strong as English clubs pay clause a player may do nothing. The United paid a close to 30 million euros worth of mattress freedom defense figure.

When you finally close the transfer, the club will work hard to find a replacement. Andrea Berta and Caminero and handled several options to meet the exit of defender. One that like in sports management is Mangala, central Porto. However, the Portuguese club is characterized by his players sell for a high price. So, it is not easy to draw the French Porto.

Turkish. In the list of future Barca was always well positioned Arda Turan, but so far, except for Fàbregas two summers ago, at the Camp Nou not need to expand the list of created players. Zubizarreta and his team have evaluated very thoroughly the Turkish international this season, where the average had 46 appearances in all competitions and scored nine goals.They value their resources and commitment to sacrifice acquired in recent times, being near Simeone. They understand your spirit of sacrifice grew considerably, something that pleases and computing positively to his credit.

The reports of the sports management of Barca on Arda are excellent, but went a step further; long, executives and technicians Barça have decided to address the everyday player, interested much in life midfielder off the pitch.

Basically saying that:

1) We've paid his release clause which is close to 30m Euros
2) He has already been to Manchester to look for schools for his kid
3) His agent is Jorge Mendes

So according to AS, we've more or less signed him.

I love reading a google translated article.
 
How good is he though?

Not bothered by the fee, really.
 
Marca are reporting that Barca have made contact regarding Miranda
 
i hate all those stupid football cliches, cool as a cucumber, he has him in his pocket, mattress freedom defense figure.
 
That's an awful lot of money, for not even a young CB.
 
Not a chance we signed a 29 year old for 30m €....
But if we can have him for a lot less I would be all for it great defender.
 
30 yrs in September. If Im not mistaken AS have a lot of rubbish transfer speculation.
 


I think barca want him on the cheap, its just a tactic by mouthpeice of a madrid club to raise the price. Nothing to see here.

Not sure I'd pay £30m
 
He's brilliant. And an experienced CB is just what we need, rather than another young prospect.

30m is silly though.
 
Not one of you cnuts have commented on the quality of the player and instead have focused on the fees. I'm not a spanish expert so some insight would be nice.
 
Top player. But expensive for a 29 year old though & I don't believe it.
 
He is in his prime, formed one of the best CB partnership in europe this season with Godin. Not particularly fast , relies on intelligence and reads the game well.
 
He's quality. Quick, composed and reads the game very well. Don't see us signing him though, considering his age and the price. Really hope Atletico don't lose a lot of first team players. Every day another one is linked with a move.

Er...what do you think mattress freedom defense figures means then? Read before posting. Geez

Nor I, but from what I've seen, he's quality. I'd be slightly worried about signing Atletico players though, it could be another Dortmund situation where the overall team is greater than the sum of their parts. Amazingly, around half the team that lined out at the weekend have actually been relegated at some point in the last few years! It's tough to say whether these players will still perform as well in new circumstances.

I also think Godin was the better defender of the two, but they had a great partnership that complimented each other perfectly and whether they'd have been as good otherwise is hard to know.

Basically, f*ck knows, he's obviously very good but it would still be a risk considering his age and the ... err ... fee.
 
30m for a 29 years old defender. It would be absolutely crazy to do so even if he is a great defender. And he isn't, his performances this season IMO have more to do with the system rather than with his individual qualities. Pretty sure for that money (or a few extra millions) we can go for much better choices.
 
Excellent player, best centre back in La Liga this season for me (even ahead of his partner, Godín). Don't think it's just a case of fitting their system well either, not sure why people are saying that, but I think that the story is nonsense.
 
So 30m euros work out to be around £24m, still a bit high for a 29 yr old but he is a very very good defender.
 
30m for a player where united will only get maybe just 3 years out of him. Miranda is a good player but the process of him adjusting to a new club and the league, by the time he gets adjusted he'll be out of his prime and that 30m in the drain. I'd rather pay 30m for a player like Luke Shaw who has proven himself in top level football and he's not even in his prime yet so right there you got a player guaranteed 5+ years out of him already.
 
No doubt he'll 'reject' us and everybody will whine again. The amount of bullshit in the media this year about us is ridiculous, Ancelotti, del Bosque, Fabregas, Kroos etc etc. Who else is set to reject us I wonder, expecting Ronaldo too before the window's out.
