Contrast a striker who enjoyed the best season in his career versus three who probably had their worst.

I'm sure if Rooney wasn't crowbarred into the midfield he would have a few more goals....thank god Falco is gone and I hope RVP follows him out the door.
 
Sky Sports are really pushing a Kane to Man Utd transfer aren't they? :lol:

Every day they make a load of rubbish up based on very little substance.
 


Sassy Colin reckons this guy is just what United need:

he scored as many goals from midfield as he did up front, if I recall the stats.
 


Andre-Pierre Gignac has joined Mexican side Tigres from Marseille on a free transfer. They have also signed Ikechukwu Uche from Villarreal.

Such a weird transfer.


2 great signings for Tigres. Not sure how they will be able to afford them though?
 
I'm starting to wonder if ourselves, Bayern and Barca are simply not convinced he'll return to the player he was and are reluctant to give him a big, lucrative deal that he wants.

Got the impression he was playing both us and Barca and it failed miserably.

I think maybe the clubs wanted him to take a deal where he had a chance to earn the big payday if he performed.

I'd say that is the reason.

It's a shame as he was complete class before the back injury, but I can't argue with caution given some of our previous luck.

Its more a shame because he and Herrera in the midfield (with someone like Schneiderlin behind them) is a midfield that would be competitive with any other midfield in Europe at the moment.

If he got back to his best that would be a mouthwateringly good midfield.
 
He will stay, only to get a free transfer to Barcelona next summer, or for pennies in January.

I doubt BVB would allow him to stay without him signing that one year extension...I wonder what he was asking for exactly salary-wise that scared off all the top clubs?

If his price was really around €20M I don't see the harm in taking a punt on him TBH.

Apparently it's not the fee holding up a potential deal, but his wage demands. Paying ridiculous wages for a player who might not get back to his best is bad business.

TheUnitedWay actually replied with what I am thinking, it will be more about the wages and length of contract than the fee I imagine.

They simply cannot kick him out to another club, it does not work like that. He will have to agree to which team he wants to go to. If he has an agreement with Barcelona to get a huge signing on fee as a free agent, then he might just wait it out.

Whatever he was asking, he managed to scare off both Barca and Bayern and perhaps LVG/Woodie got the sense he was stringing us along just to get leverage and cut him loose.

"Maybe there is still a chance that he has a rethink," he told German newspaper WAZ. "We are in talks and Ilkay is a decent lad."

Sounds like he may rethink signing an extention

Yup, I think we backed out, but not based on his wage demands and rather the way he was playing the situation out. I seriously doubt he'd have made wage demands which we were not ready to fulfill

I agree with all that, we are in no position to be paying top tier wages to someone just getting back from a serious injury...I am glad we didn't buy The Stroot and Vidal for that exact reason.

That is exactly what I think, my opinion is we went in early and was prepared to give him what he asked for, but he was using us to get a bumper deal at Bayern then Barca. We got wind of that and moved on to more receptive targets...now he is left at BVB with no concrete offers and that's perfectly fine with me.

Yup I'd rather not go back for someone of that kind.

Yeah, we have to be careful with the CM buys as Carrick is getting on and we can't afford to take risks with the replacements.



I hope we get at least £10M for him.

Personally I would buy Schneiderlin to replace Carrick, he would provide enough defensive coverage to shield the back 4 as well as free Herrera and the new CM to maximize their creativity ...or this could enable Mata to play as a CAM with Herrera just behind him...those 2 are magic together when on the pitch at the same time.
