Cheers for translating. I'd be surprised if we don't land this lad.

I agree it's not club policy to offer that sort of contract to a player in their thirties.
Dani Alves wouldn't be as bad as some are making out; he's experienced and was one of the best not too long, could offer some great insight to our younger right backs, plus he basically knows our philosophy inside out. We'd save plenty of money that we'd have to spend on Clyne or whoever else we're linked with, and maybe spend it elsewhere. At 31, he's still physically very strong and seems to be as fast as he was 5 or 6 years ago, could easily go on for another 2 or 3 seasons. Might be worth the punt.
Guessing Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in Alves too?
Leaving to where? Who else is going to pay him £100k a week? If I was him I would just stay and collect my money. Maybe I should make a twitter account and give him some financial advice.
What younger right backs? McNair isn't one and Rafael will be out if he comes in. Valencia won't be going nowhere.
The odds against McNair or Janko being our right back of the future aren't great, I wouldn't think. How many youth players in the last 10 years have been good enough for that sort of major role?
If we sign Alves and (sadly) sell Rafael, we should really be looking for a talented and really young rightback to learn and back up, compete with and then take Alves' job.
You serious? If so that is funny.I find it a bit funny that his agent is his ex-wife

Don't have the ability to put the tweet from the daily mail, but there's a story on their site and they're reporting united are going after Hummels and Gundogan in the summer.
Not been tweeted yet. Here's the link to the story though:

Yeah yeah mr bundesliga
Love the ''Utd can easily outbid BVB, whose final offer is €6.5m/yr'' we're finally using our strength to rebuild, we're financial bullies
Saw the same story in the Mail this morning.
He does cite Bild at least.

Oh good Lord!
Eventually Carrick and Rooney will need replacing, but that looks blooming marvellous!
With Depay on the bench.
Did he actually say that? Because that makes it bloody obvious then.
From a verified media account. First signing?
Done deal.
Klopp wants the moneh.

fecking Klopp. Teasing us here.
In the last 10 years, Fabio, Raf, Wes & Nev have played major roles at right back! Am I missing your point?
Everyone seems to be quoting this Diego Errichetti though.
Obviously Hummels is a very good CB, good signing, we'll have to see how he adapts to the Prem if we sign him.
Yes! He'll be a gem for us.
Just got a message from a newbie, @unplayable . THIS IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
"First of all, yes he did say that he is good enough for United, so that's probably a good thing.
But he only said it because Owen Hargreaves was in the studio (Sky Germany) saying that he wasn't good enough because of his defensive weaknesses. Then they cut to Klopp who heard Hargreaves' comments and he said that he thinks Hummels would be good enough for us.
So I think it was really a case of a coach defending his player."
I wonder what the deal is with Hargreaves and Hummels, he's always negative about him.
Did Klopp really say Hummels is thinking about it though?
