Zaha was 15 million all over for some reason as well when it was 10 rising to 15. Doubt much of the add ons have been paid even so far.

If Kagawa played for Chelsea he'd cost Dortmund £20m.
I doubt any of them have given we haven't won anything and he's barely made any appearances. I think it just sensationalises the headline and makes our situation appear worse than it is.
Just how the market worked. Cleverley is wanted by more clubs and is probably higher in the pecking order than Shinji. I hope we can get 10 million for TC to be honest, he's an England player whose got great potential.
So Blind bid confirmed and agreed by bbc
Just read the Beeb tweet. On phone so can't post it. Blind to United confirmed.
The unpalatable truth is that Kagawa, for one reason and another, has been garbage for United. He's been a non-scoring and non-assisting no. 10 - don't think we can baulk at the free we're receiving. In any case, his wages won't be insubstantial, so good to get him out the club.
Sky just broke the news minutes ago...Although no bid mentioned just permission to speak to an unamed club
Official: Daley Blind has been left out of the Ajax squad to face FC Gronigen. [via @AFCAjax]
He really hasnt.
He's been underwhelming and nowhere near as good as he was for Dortmund, but he's been okay/fairly good but not involved as much as you'd like for 9/10 of his matches and on rare occasions really good. Its just that you'd expect very good performances more often than he's put them in.
I agree that he hasnt done enough and that some posters do overrate him, especially his creativity which was never his main talent. At the same time I'd happily spend £15 million on him.
That is the thing though, we might be 7th... but he is having to compete with 2 major strikers of international pedigree.. at a top team where they have less competition for the number 9 spot, he might get more games. He'd be competing with Mandzukic?
Even at Real, they only have Benzema..
Plus Danny's build up play is top notch for a striker, it is his final third play which is dire.. some teams might be willing to take a gamble on him. One thing is for sure, we can't risk him exploding into life for a top 4 competitor.
But he was worried about Vidal's knee. Strootman had a much more serious injury did he not?
But his club haven't tried to flog him off all summer like Vidals! That is a massive warning signal to me to be honest!
I think it was more to do with the way Vidal was rushed backed, obviously I'm guessing, but it makes sense in a way.
This.
It seems to me that LVG is pinning all his hopes on Kevin Strootman, the sort of injury he suffered is one that could easily repeat itself if he isn't carefully brought back. Also, Roma have an excellent chance winning the Serie A this year, coupled with Champions League football anyone who thinks Roma are just going to roll over and give us Kevin is deluded.
Did Juventus really try and flog him though? They've been saying all summer he isn't for sale.
So it begins
All the noise has been coming from them, it seemed at one point that they were giving us instructions of how to sign him and a time frame for it! Saying someone isn't for sale doesn't mean they aren't for sale. Maybe to save face with the fans.
United have arranged for a private jet to bring Daley Blind to Manchester this afternoon to complete his move. [mirror]
I get that, you can never really take a clubs word for what it is but at the same time, being one of their best players I don't think they are desperate to sell.
Another one in!
I'll be happy if we sign on more player before Monday night then build on this in January and next summer. We could be back in business very soon!
Woody spoiled us, after each and every signing, we are all saying "1 or 2 more signings and we are good". We are being greedy.
BBC confirmed it before Sky did. It's in the bag.
Signing another player would be bonus. I'm already chuffed with our business. It's easily been our best window in years. We just need our players back from injury and we will be good
Done dealio imo..Looks like personal terms are only left to be completed.
Oh and to ship out the deadwood/not needed which seems well under way
If we can get our injured players back, playing and staying fit. I think we are back now. Get a win today and confidence will grow
I'm preparing for one last surprise
2 million euro loan fee plus 17 euro to buy option.
Agreed. One more and it's a cracking window.
A Blind costs two Kagawas then. I hope he does well.. Seems good enough technically.
Cleverley going for more than Kagawa? Surely that's not right?
I don't know what I'm more excited about, the players that have under performed for seasons, being let go or signing a new player. It's all too much!
Strootman and Vidal isn't the same because Strootman wasn't rushed back into football a week after his surgery.
There's no way we would let Kagawa go back for that cheap without some sort of add on. First option on a player, agreement of a fee next summer for Hummels, keeping his image rights for shirt sales, the option to buy back if he comes good again. Who knows! But we wouldn't just let him walk out of here for less than Cleverly.
Do they even have €17 million to give us at the end of the season? We should do a swap loan deal for Vidal instead, they can keep Hernandez.
