Thats because its the first time we have tried to sign a midfielder... coincidence?
Well not exactly. Out of pure ignorance some people seem to think he's a Number 10 and we've already got Kagawa and Rooney for that position
What were muppet levels like back during the Ronaldinho saga? God, that must have been painful.
Whilst the news isn't really differing, the source of the news is becoming more mainstream and, in certain cases, reputable.
The fact a wider range of media is reporting it would suggest that the sustained rumours lend themselves to being more reliable.
Perhaps.

Perhaps.
Cleverley will get games too. It hinges primarily on what type of midfield Moyes looks to employ. Cleverley is a player more suited to 3-man midfield. I could see him getting more games that way.
Or they are sourcing the same rumour. If it picks up like the media frenzy around SAF's retirement being leaked, I'll take notice.
He'll get games anyway, to be honest. He'll still be one of the three best midfielders for two positions. It'll be the likes of Jones and Giggs who lose out in terms of midfield game time, and honestly that's a solution not a problem.
It was hugely painful when we lost out in the end, but it wasn't as big as it is today simply because we didn't have twitter or youtube and people actually had to do with little .wmv files (sometimes zipped!) Of clips from Ronaldinho in the PSG cup final and some random stuff that lasted a few seconds.
I doubt muppets existed then. Only if you were hipster.
Easy done at first glance man. I think maybe the article was attempting to confuse with that insert at the end regarding Pep & then said quote..
look at the Nani situation, there are strong vibes he will leave but nothing tangible has transpired so far and that saga has been running longer than the thiago saga. This will run for a while yet.
So have we signed the cnut?
The word saga is really starting to irritate me.
Paired with Sneijder and Hazard, one could say it has become a Trilogy.
Saga.
According to sources, we are agreeing terms with him, every single day.
Thilogy.
Spanish word of the day: culebron which means "soap opera"
In Spanish terms, we are not watching a saga instead it's a, "culebron del verano," - a summer soap.
You just reminded me how some posters don't like the phrase 'war-chest'.
Which makes using it even more pleasurable. Sagas and war-chests, that's what we need.
Agreed. But someone like the Guardian would have been aware of the rumours that have circulated for the past weeks. They have ignored them all until recently, which would suggest that they believe them to have weight when perhaps they didn't previously.
Yes we are definitely more advance than the previous advance stage for sure.I understand your frustrations Sparks, but we're in "super-advanced stages" now tho... with a feckin cape on aswell
True. But even the Guardian says we believe there's a 'good chance'. And frankly, we've heard enough similar things.
In terms of saga's, we've had far bigger. The only thing which has made this a saga really is twitter with idiots writing crap and people rushing to believe them. There has been so very little news.
Agreed!
I'll see your advanced-stage & i raise you a super-duper advance-stage - ducks wild on the river shizzle...
And agent De Gea's mischief-making.
There is no saga... just muppet drama.
Sooner or later we're gonna find out if Moyes is capable of bringing best players.
Well yeah...
Because Fergie always got the big name players.
We have been starved of midfield recruitments and then we are linked with a potential world star at a startlingly good price.
Muppetism is the least we expect. whats mass muppet suicide / deaths called? muppeticide?

Sit back, children, and I shall tell you an Alcantale, a Thaga that has passed from Barcalore into Mythchester: the ItaliaHispanoBraziliad.
Never show your face around these parts again after that, Bright
He's not signed yet has he? I wonder what Shamoon's got to say...
I want to know what cider currently thinks, he's the most reliable ITK we've ever had.
Okay I have no idea how to put that image in spoilers. Just can't find the spoiler button since the site changed.
This is not even fun anymore.
