Well, if the press are to be believed (as is the case for the figures being thrown around), there has also been bids from other clubs. What if we have convinced the player and just the club to agree? I'm all for getting the best possible deal rather than chucking money around for the sake of it.

So why did you say you reckon we'll get a chunk of business done this week...?
Thanks for those few good years Nani. All the best.
I said what I think, initially.
In my second post, I've stated what would be more sensible a prediction.
Not too sure why you're finding it hard to grasp.
I'd do if I know I'am going to end up paying it anyway
We can face Fenerbache in the CL qualifiers can't we? could you imagine Nani being the one to eliminate us from it
Yeah, there's a chanceWe can face Fenerbache in the CL qualifiers can't we? could you imagine Nani being the one to eliminate us from it
They'd still have to win their game in the 3rd qualifying round to get the chance to face us in the playoffs though.
Picture of him in a United shirt, exposure for club logo and aon, thank you Fenerbache !

No for the simple reason I can't imagine Nani scoring anymore or winning for that matter.
Good luck Nani and thanks for the fond memories during that golden spell!
FFS, not sure how we made sense of giving him a new contract, only to send him on loan and pay his entire wage....then to transfer him, only to essentially recoup said wage. Our "sell policy" makes little sense at the best of times. (I know high wages etc.).

#mufc Manchester United transfers: Rafael is a wanted man but not by Louis van Gaal http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/manchester-united-transfers-rafael-wanted-9596195#ICID=sharebar_twitter…
What? You said you think we'll get deals done this week, I agreed with you and joked that it's realistic to suggest that because they're back in training. You then completely went the other way and said you now think we won't sign anyone in some sort of defensive tizzy fit.
Calm down mate.
Good luck Nani and thanks for the fond memories during that golden spell!

I loved Nani, but assume he was re-signed at say 75, which is modest in comparison to the "high wage" claims, 75k a year is over £4m alone basic, how can signing him and paying him that (While he couldn't even play for us) and then selling him for £3.5m be even possibly reasonable? Very strange move, I think VG came in, Nani wanted to go as is confirmed, but agreed that he would come back if it was feasible, Louis was hoping to be able to look at him after a year I assume, and sell him on if not, seems it didn't work out that way.

Doesn't really justify it because we decide to give them those wages. Why do we give such high wages to players we don't intend on using that much ? You'd have figured with a 5 year deal and £100k a week he'd a key part of the squad but instead he is a fringe player that we loaned out and now sold for peanuts (after paying his wages for an entire year).
Bad business whatever way you look at it. Could have been worse if he had kept him and not used him yes but still it is bad.
What's the alternative? Doesn't seem unreasonable factoring in how we do business typically.
According to AS, we have agreed personal terms with Ramos.
We may well be, we just don't publically voice things for some reason..
Well it's possibly the reason why we found ourselves where we are at this stage. 7th two years ago, a pathetic 4th last year, and our transfer dealings contribute a lot towards our recent failings. To name a single player who we could have had if we hadn't had been so keen on haggling and refusing to pay the money: Eden Hazard.
We're in no position to be haggling, we finished 4th last season and our football was easily one of the worst in the premier league. We lack quality and consistency in far too many positions to be taking the transfer season as lightly as we have. If, and it's a big if, rumours and speculation are to be believed, we could have had ourselves Schneiderlin and, maybe, Darmian, if we paid the requested amounts, £25 and £14 million, respectively. For a club of our stature, that's not a lot of money. Those are two players who would improve us massively, not because they're modern greats but because they would enhance our team play by leaps and bounds.
There are some transfers that I'd be against, Harry Kane being a perfect example. Rumours state that Spurs want £40 million for him, and that would be the definition of throwing away money.
Our past dealings would indicate that haggling for a player has actually been completely ineffective. We've always over paid for our signings. In recent years, we've had Shaw, Mata, Fellaini, RvP, Jones, Nani, Anderson... the list goes on for ages. Get on with the signings and lets take a step towards our aims, no point in screwing around for a couple of million pounds which could potentially see us have another bland season.
Which is annoying bcause that way we know jack shite
"an offer has been made for ramos, more at 3pm"
I need not be calmed as I'm not stressed. I guess I misinterpreted your joke. Let's just forget anything happened, hold hands and pray for transfers?
Looks more like "has a bid been made?"
The piece they're quoting from http://as.com/diarioas/2015/07/06/english/1436165874_863759.html
Never link their sources because it makes them look more ITK if they provide info without sourcing it directly.
Batten down the hatches people, this place is going to get stormy!
It quite literally went from sunny to cloudy, in the matter of minutes, where I am. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
I'd hate to see Rafael at another PL club.
Er no, it asks if a bid has been made. Clickbait bollocks.
No http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/...ed-worry-on-latest-de-gea-claims-spanish-nons
Aye, that's the only explanation I have. It was Moyes who gave him the new contract or was it under LvG? (unless Woody did it himself!
). But yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense. What, to my mind, makes it stranger is that by all accounts, didn't he have a semi decent season at Sporting (I never watched him enough to comment)? So why loan him out, to "monitor" him....he does well, and yet you decide to sell him for a pittance anyway!?
Aye. 100k a week wages (or even 75k if it wasn't that high) is huge wages for "squad" players. Hence we're struggling to get any sort of money back when we sell someone like Nani, (arguably) in his prime and definitely worth much more than 4-6m in today's market, when the likes of Downing and co are going for much more.
Yea the actual translation is "has an offer been made? The answer at 3"
@3rdCarter you need to watch your translations, that's obvious click bait.

Really? I don't see why (as long as you're sensible about what you post from there, that is). They just compile transfer news just like the Twitter bots on here do, I don't think anyone thinks they're ITK.
