Like I said, we should shut the club down if we offer 40 million for Khedira. He's barely worth half that.
Sami Khedira
- Thread starter Vinay
- Start date
But we woudn't bid £40million for Cesc?
Cuckoo.
Cuckoo.
I think he's shite and always have.
50+40, Bale is paid 
Can't see this being true. Bid makes no sense and Madrid would never reject it.
Of course not.
Spain football writer Andy West: "Spanish radio station Cadena Cope is claiming that Manchester United have seen a bid of €40m for Sami Khedirarejected by Real Madrid, making the Germany international approximately the 612th La Liga midfielder that United have failed to sign this summer.
£40m is surely not true.
I pray to God we launch a £45m last minute bid for Fabregas, offering him £250k per-week.

40mil for Khedira. Wow
I would not put it past Real to plant something like that. Enough morons would believe it....
What the feck was up with this bid?
So completely random and unnecessary, and made the whole Herrera thing even more ridiculous. We were willing to bid 40m for Khedira but didn't want to put in a few more for Herrera to pay the release clause.

I'd forgotten about this. Did it really happen? Even as bad as we were, 40m?
Yeah, this one had to be balls. It was them other dudes that out the bid in.
For all we know, Moyes could have asked Woody to bid for Ozil at Madrid and Woody just sent a fax saying we'd like to bid for a German without specifying which one.

The Turkish one?
Speaking at the German national team presser, Khedira has confirmed we did put in an offer that was rejected.
I need to go and lie down. Did he confirm it was 40m?
fecks sake. Rejected after offering 40ME.
Nope he didn't mention the amount. Sounds like he was very much in Ancelotti's plans and we just made a blind bid in hope.

The embarrassment/incompetence of the window continues.
Funny though, this window promised so much. We thought we'd really come out and back our new manager and really compete with the big boys. Little did we know...

This one makes no sense, are we sure it wasnt people putting 2 and 2 together when we were negotating for Coentrao and coming up with Khedira?
It makes sense, just obviously not for the fee that was reported. He'd have been an alternative to Fellaini
It would have only made sense if we bid earlier. Madrid weren't going to sell a member of their first team squad only a few hours away from the deadline.
Possibly but where has the 40millin bid come from? It just sounds like we were completely clueless during the whole window.
The oddity with this is that a joint bid from us for Khedira + Ozil (for 60m) was rumoured to be on the cards ages ago, but it never materialised. Maybe Madrid and Khedira's agent are trying to cheer him up.
On Coentrao, he's been available since May. Mendes has probably been trying to sell him to us right the way through summer, culminating in the loan deal discussion an hour before the deadline. He wouldn't have got a 40m bid either.

I don't think moyes will bid for a midfielder ever again after the summer we had

It's clearly a lie from Real Madrid. We know this because we couldn't even pay the fee for Herrera. Embarrassing from our end and Real Madrid's.
I missed a lot of the chaos yesterday. Did we just go on a sign whatever midfielder is available crusade?
I'm struggling to accept we bid £34 million for this guy. Surely it can't be true? Thank feck it didn't happen anyway.

Holy shit, this turned out to be true? What?

Dont know what we were thinking. Jesus.
The player isn't quoted as saying it was a 40m bid, just that there was a bid.
And there's also the possibility that he just confirmed there was a bid from somebody and the press just decided to run with the United story. If we were interested in Khedira - whatever the price - it'd be the first time I'd be seriously worried. We've already shown we were desperate but at least beforehand we were making fools of ourselves for players good enough for us.
From what I've read it was €40 so around £33m
Thats still way over the top for Khedira.
We really were panicking yesterday, weren't we? Makes the Fellaini deal seem like a damn shrewd move.
