Give them Ballance instead. He will bore them to death.
Blocking a transfer bid, you either accept or decline a transfer bid but how do you block it ?
According to the image they're using Lacazzete.
feck, if an English side sign him I'll be gutted.
Wish people would stop talking about Ramos being 29 as if that means he's a year away from being put into a retirement home. He's 29, he's in his peak and could easily play for another 5 or 6 years at a high level.
Also, why does it seem like fans with no financial interest in the club are more worried about being frugal than people who's job literally revolves around maintaining and improving the financial stability of the club?

But he also wants out (atleast that is the only way this is ever going to happen).
That valuation is crazy for a 29 year old defender that wants to leave no matter how good he is. And I don't even rate him that high, I mean he is very good but I don't know if he'd so much better for us than say Otamendi.
Currently I don't think there really is any defender out there that would warrant a £45m price tag but if there is one out there he certainly shouldn't be nearing age 30 and be pushing for a way out of his club.
I value Ramos at £30m to £35m maximum.
Given De Gea is worth £20m to £25m
Than DDG + £10m-£15m is a fair deal, anything more than that and we are being ripped off imo
€30m and now even €40m is way off imo, far too much. If there is any truth to those numbers I really it is the amount Madrid is asking for and not our opening bid because that would worry beyond believe.
Signing Falcao AND Lacazette? Doubt that. With Chelsea's formation, I really can't see one of Lacazette or Costa being happy to play second fiddle. Falcao would be used to it so wouldn't be surprised there.
If he were a goalkeeper I'd agree but he isn't.
If he fits in we'll get 3 good years from him and then we can start watching him decay like so many at that age. At the end of his contract there will be no resale value and next to the exorbiant transfer fee there will also be exorbiant wages. Considering there is no guarantee he would work out (look to Falcao and Di maria and you know having a big name is no guarantee for success here) than I say it just isn't worth it for the possible 3 years of having a good centreback. There are better and especially cheaper options out there for us.
Maybe Remy is off? Only way it would make sense.
Even then, unless we played with 2 up top I couldn't see it happening. Although Lacazette isn't a target man. He's a very good footballer and is great in space. I could see him playing with Costa but doubt José would regularly do that.
Non-story I'd say.
Smalling would improve them for sure, as he is a proper defender. Varane isn't ready at all, he needs few years. Shaw also, just need some needs to stay fit, Herrera could play for them for sure (he maybe would be on the bench, but it is the same with some of their players), healthy Carrick would get into their first team (but the age is a problem), there is also Mata.....
But I do agree that they do have a better squad, but it's not that every of their players would improve us, we have at least 6 players in di Maria, Herrera, Mata, Carrick, Smalling and Shaw who could play in their team (and maybe even Depay).

People like myself? Take it easy, pal. I never said anything about buying a first 11 of established players. Don't put words in my mouth. Di Maria and Falcao flopping means feck all. It's the exception, not the rule. Reality is, Real Madrid's first eleven is full of world class players that'd improve not only us, but almost every team out there. Players like Ramos, Varane, Carvajal, Kroos, Modric, Ronaldo and Benzema would fit in Van Gaal's system like a glove IMO.
Signing top, established players is a necessity. The big clubs have to take chances on them if they want to stay on top. You can't just avoid paying the big bucks just because there's a chance of things not working out. More often than not, they do work out and the fact is we need to sign some top, established players this summer if we want to make up the ground on the other top clubs in Europe faster. These players offer world class ability as well as invaluable experience. That's why we're after Ramos and Schweinsteiger. They'd improve our first team immediately and also allow us to have a run in Europe.
I'm fully aware that the top clubs develop as well as buy. It's the right, successful tactic to stay on top. Only buying is not a financially sound tactic and represents too big of a risk. We'll never be a club that only buys top, established players and rightly so. We've always given chances to young players to develop at the club and become integral parts of the starting eleven and I don't think this would ever change nor would I want it to. There's been a slight change in transfer strategy though. With Woody, we're going after more and more top, established players. That's the new reality for the club, as Fergie is not here anymore and with the club being a global brand, there's just too much at stake to stay on the sidelines for more than a couple of seasons and it's only natural to think that the distance to the top could be shortened by signing some top players.

I wonder how much we'll get?
Lolz
1) When you've been stealing a living and picking up medals for it, why leave?
2) We get something for this?
They'll probably get £20 million for him the clever bastards.
Chelsea basically paid us for him so we could get Carrick. Clever United. ,
Juventus have signed Roberto Pereyra from Udinese on a permanent deal for 14 million euros.

He's been rumored to leave us for the past few windows and it never happens. Doubt he'll leave this time.
He seems perfectly happy being a "last 10 minutes here and there" player.

Juve are on coke in terms of transfer activity.
So much for not being able to do deals while the Copa America is going on.
That's just an excuse.
Otamendi even said his agent is speaking on his behalf and knows what he wants so can go ahead and get it sorted. I doubt any player who does want a move will let this tournament delay it from happening.
Ramos and Schweinsteiger, can't help but feel déjà vu with Woodys first summer if all our eggs are going in this basket
I think that would be unwise for us!!
Isn't our manager the one who talks about the need for having more "balance" in selection?!
The move is delayed by the tournament, though. Martinez didn't signed, he didn't passed the medical, he just agreed with Atletico. United don't communicate a deal that isn't done and they refuse to let the player or his agent announce it.
Formal contract extension talks between Marseille & Dimitri Payet were opened yesterday about a new deal until 2019, according to L'Équipe.
Looks like he isn't particularly keen on moving to West Ham.
Yep and I'd rather we just get that deal done instead of faffing around with Ramos.
Turkish papers claim #Galatasaray have agreed terms with #Torino captain Kamil Glik, but the Granata want €15m.
He could do better than the Turkish league.
That's why I said its an excuse.
By delaying I mean delaying medicals and terms etc. I know Martinez is not currently being paraded around the Vicente Calderon with a scarf above his head but he is signing.
I never get why our club feel the need to be so different and secretive though, are we that afraid some other team will gazump us?
Mirror: Stoke want Victor Moses in any deal for Begovic.
After all the crap in May about how we have been preparing for next season for a lot of time, it doesn't seem like much has changed at United .
A deal on Tevez to Boca will happen tomorrow. In exchange, Juve will perhaps get a few youngsters from them.
Well looking at Ramos and his physique/injury record/apparent fitness and the way he plays I don't see him as someone who will inevitably decline at around 32. Plus, none of the prices I've seen quoted are particularly 'exorbitant' and £140k p/w is hardly excessive for a player of his standing. I also don't see that many of these so called better options who are readily available for less money.
Resale value is hardly a big issue for a club like United as we would rarely buy someone with the intention of selling him on at a profit in the future...
