Ish
Lights on for Luke
Shit rumour must die.
And miss the chance for "WOODWARD MESSES UP ANOTHER EASY DEAL" headlines?Shit rumour must die.
Lol, true. He's already getting called names on the Caf for being linked to Neymar ffs.And miss the chance for "WOODWARD MESSES UP ANOTHER EASY DEAL" headlines?
What is his release clause, just out of interest?The overreaction by some of you lot is funny
What's wrong with making an enquiry? Where has it said anywhere that we made a bid? What's wrong with talking to his agent to find out if the player would fancy it?
All we have to do is meet the release clause..
190m euros (139m pounds).What is his release clause, just out of interest?
feck that!190m euros (139m pounds).
I think that we can pay that if we go full muppet, but I doubt that Neymar would want to leave.
If we pay it, our net spent would be 147m pounds.feck that!
Thiago wasn't wanted by Moyes, while apparently LVG didn't want Fabregas (not sayint that we would have got them if we really wanted them).Some people in United management messed up a simple transfer deal for Pedro. He was a player Barca board was willing to sell, and somehow this management messed it up. The same team messed up Cesc transfer as well and before that you paid more for Fellaini than it was required. Possibly Thiago was also a blunder. Somehow the management, the CEO messed up some really simple transfers from Barca where the board was willing to sell the players.
I doubt this team can handle something complicated like Neymar when Barca don't want to sell. Every Barca player that United targeted has made the team/CEO look immature in transfer business.
He would make yet another luxury signing.Out of interest, if Neymar *** sign for Manchester United this week, what would that make Woodward?
Fabregas wasn't close at any point when Moyes was in charge and LVG stopped the deal when he came in year after. With Thiago there wasn't anything concrete, the most concrete thing was him signing an United ball for some fan. So out of the 3 only Pedro stands out, other two never really lifted from the ground so to say.Some people in United management messed up a simple transfer deal for Pedro.

He can say it, unfortunately most of it is wrong.Ooooh you can't say that.
The top.reds won't be happy.

On Pedro, Barca said many times that we didn't made a bid for him, or that we were discussing his signing. It might have been that we were interested on him, but it might have easily been a media invention. After all, it was as a straightforward transfer as it could be. Just pay 22m pounds, which was less than what we have payed under this regime for Mata, Fellaini, Shaw, Herrera, Di Maria and Schneiderlin, so no big trouble there.
Neymar is just a joke. How anyone can think that there is anything else than just the usual bullocks of a joke of newspaper is beyond me.
Every Barca player that some shit newspapers linked with United, made the people who believe it to be lool like idiots instead.

Definitely. In fact, I would be dissapointed if we don't at-least try to get the best players.I believe the club on this. Even Mourinho went on reacted saying he did no compete with us to sign Pedro. Moreso, it was most probably his agent feeding media trying to drum up interest from an elite club for his client, who was desperate for the move.
Personally Im glad we did not sign Pedro, I'd rather Memphis, Januzaj and Wilson get the game time. I don't think Pedro was a significantly better option tan what we have on the books. Others may disagree, and thats fine, but in the end, despite considering him, I think thats what LVG ultimately decided.
As for Neymar .... I've tried to sign him loads of times in football manager and failed, so if this rumour is true, and Woodward pulls it off - wow, simply wow! Likewise, I don't have a problem with Woodward and the club going after the best players on the planet. We may get turned down, like we have done for De Gea with Madrid BUT sometimes it works, like Ronaldo to Real Madrid or like when we signed Ferdinand, Rooney and Berbatov.
Believe it or not, there are people (both United fans and fans of other clubs) who believe it. And they have the ability to click web pages.Why do the papers actually report this? No United fan I've spoken to believes it and I doubt anyone else does. Is it just to keep Neymar's agent sweet in the hope of getting inside info later? Or are they just fools who will print what they're told/what the manatees tell them to print (South Park reference)?
Nevertheless you can expect 'we were dithering over few million and 'woody is an idiot' posts.Definitely. In fact, I would be dissapointed if we don't at-least try to get the best players.
About Pedro, I would have preferred us to sign him. But considering that the club said that we weren't going for him, Mourinho said that they didn't cmpete with us, Barca people said a few times that they weren't talking with us for him and apparently his agent said that we didn't contact him it looks very likely that he was just an another Gaitan.
He can say it, unfortunately most of it is wrong.
My god. Did I say he has an agenda? No I didn't.I simply stated what parts of his post are wrong. Don't be so melodramatic.I must buy a pair of those red tinted spectacles some of you are wearing.
Unless you think @CLARiiON (a Barca fan) has an agenda against United? Which seems to be the default response to anyone that dare criticise/say something negative about United.
Like it or not, we're a bit of a laughingstock to opposition fans. Don't believe me? Just ask them.

this just made me laugh out loud here in bed. The missus gave me a weird look.We go again Muppet's, this does not fecking slip

Chances of Stoichkov popping out of a birthday cake for LVG is much more likely.

The same Barca whose players used United's name to get better contact/generate interest from other clubs?

We have improved the midfield and defense, and we have made a good start of the season. It has been proven multiple times since LVG and Woody have been working together that when we want a player,we do it fast and the media generally have no idea what is happening (see Herrera, Falcao, Darmian). Where were Sun and co. when we were signing Darmian? Linking us with the likes of Clyne, then Coleman and Fabinho.
English journos have no fecking clue what is going at United. Which was something that people here were begging to happen when we were under Moyes and everything was leaked. But I guess that some people just love to moan for whatever reasons.

Always love it when people call United staff names over unfounded rumours.Lol, true. He's already getting called names on the Caf for being linked to Neymar ffs.
