Interesting, fair play to you, signing a class player. Hope he flops...
If Spurs pull off this signing then I am going to go and see Ed Woodward and offer him my magic beans as he is clearly a gentleman of impeccable taste, manners and a master negotiator!
Beaten to a signing by Spurs.
Grandad predicted this would be the first sign of the apocalypse.

fecking hell, some on here are pathetic.
Hahaha If this window couldn't get worse, we got turned down and a talent like Dybala joined Spurs instead
There are restrictions on talking to the players though until you have dealt with the club first.
I don’t really want him but to see a player prefer Spurs for less money sends a big signal that even Ed can’t ignore.
It’s sad n depressing day if he goes there as we have joined the irrelevant. I just hope people stop crying ‘we are man united’ and expecting the seas to part...

But at the time Spurs' weren't even in for him and Juve had accepted our deal.... so at the time it wasn't an "us or them" choice for him
I have my doubts, but feck it were possibly signing an elite player.
We're Man United.
We get turned down when we want.
We get turned down when we want.
What mainstream sources? Please, elaborate. We are all listening.
As far as I remember we were linked before you were.
BBC and Sky Sports.
Lads, it's Tottenham. You know, the team players these days prefer to United. When we sacked Mou, at the time a CL spot was impossible, magically we somehow had it in our hands two months later and blew it anyway - and that's what cost us, together with the fact few care about playing for Solskjaer.
If Dybala deal fell through because of his salary demands, good luck with Levy though.. however Spurs can offer CL football, which we obviously cannot.

This is what we have to get used to now, few years ago it would be unthinkable a player like this would turn us down for Spurs but reality is other than a bigger salary we have less to offer at this moment.
Time for trading off the Utd history has gone now, need something else to help recruit players, until club realises it this will keep happening. Whilst Spurs are getting Dybala, we will either get bent over buying Mandzukic m or take a cast off like Llorente on a free.

Sorry 6th is relevant I forgot
I remember when my United are a has been thread got locked yesterday.
Good times.
Good times.
Spurs are a champions league club in London with champions league money.
Off course Dybala is going to like them a lot more than us.

Not true, Spurs made a bid before we did, it hadn't been accepted yet and the upped their bid once Dybala refused to sign for us (or we pulled out) depending on who to believe.
Spurs were actually linked with Dybala before we were
That BBC article from Ornstein says Spurs are close to reaching an agreement, not that personal terms have been agreed. It has been a sticking point in this transfer for a while now. There is nothing on SkySports either.
Muppetry is getting the better of you.
He didn't ask for that. It was just leaked by Woodward to save face because we couldn't afford him.
Woodward wanted cash for Lukaku to balance the books.

Close to reaching an agreement on the personal terms yes. The fee was already agreed with Juve
Do you not find that deeply troubling and worrying that the gap is in all likelihood just getting wider? Or should we all just pretend everything is alright.
This really. The whole saga has been so odd. So have many this year.
The news that everything has been agreed except image rights had been doing the rounds for hours before BBC's "breaking news". Even the most reliable mainstream sources are clickbaiting now.
I'm pretty sure that money wasn't the issue with Dybala.
The only thing we can hope for is a, although unexpected, good season where we finish top 4 so we can up our player level again next year and show them they've written off United too soon.
It is rather painful that a player like Dybala prefers to play for Spurs instead of us. Hope we can prove him wrong, but they are doing great business this transfer window.

You don't think it will happen?
They agreed a fee on Tuesday itself, Juve are not a problem in this transfer. Its Dybalas' wages which are €7.5m net approx £300k a week. Then there's an issue revolving his image rights.
This is not the first time Levy has given high hopes to Spurs fans of almost signing a top player. I'll believe and give them their due credit when its done.
Not unless your tight chairman is willing to destroy wage structure.
Like I said, if you pull it off I'll be the first in here to congratulate for pulling a proper big boy move. But, I've been here before with Levy and how he plays in the market.
Apparently if you voice such concerns you're a plastic fan... This has been coming over a number of years now and we need to act soon
If money wasn't the issue then we would have moved on, on other, more realistic targets.
You're maths are completely wrong. Its actually around 210k a week gross
The 350k a week was the number mentioned that he was asking from United.
Harry is not going to be happy
Like we did last season with Maguire? Or you choosing to think that the club all of a sudden became competent?
Spurs at in the same position that we were - haggling image rights.
Son, Kane, Dybala, Lucas
Whereas somewhere in Manchester:
Martial, Rashford, Lingard and Mata
Let that sink in.

He could really solve our additional creativity problem in midfield, there's obviously concerns with signing South American players, as they rarely turn good at Utd.
It'll be a bitter pill to swallow if he signs for Spurs & tears up the league next year.
Surely his agent fees can't be THAT ridiculous if Spurs are willing to close a deal, as they don't like spending big wages or fees on anyone.

I dunno where you are pulling that figure from. €15million annually divided by 52 weeks gets me €288k a week. That is his wage at Juve right now.
He wanted £10m net from us i.e. £350k a week.
