@cyberman told me the other day that is illegal but in theory Madrid should pay 10 m€ to De Gea if they can´t bring him this summer
Would be awesome then if he stays and signs a new contract after getting a hefty payment from Madrid

Is Darmian his son or how does Di Marzio know this? He reported everything in detail about this transfer.
It's on the higher end for a back up keeper but seeing as they just sold the man Begovic is replacing for 11m, it's a rather inexpensive transfer in the grand scheme of things.Why would you want to spend 8m for a backup? More importantly why would Begovic, who is a good keeper, want to move to Chelsea to sit on the bench?
To be fair, I think Torino have made this quite public with their President and manager being quoted and of course Darmien himself wrote that lovely goodbye letter to Torino fans.
I think It was done a little on purpose to piss Juve off as they even tweeted it was an amazing deal for United. I fully believe Torino didn't want him to go to another Italian club.
It's unenforcable in a sporting contract. Or so Figo says when he got hustled with it.@cyberman told me the other day that is illegal but in theory Madrid should pay 10 m€ to De Gea if they can´t bring him this summer
Madrid must bring De Gea this summer since there is a penalty clause
The letter is from a fake instagram profile of Darmian (silly season, eh?) and the quotes from Torino's manager were after the whole story was already out. They were just some sort of a confirmation of the deal.
I think Di Marzio deserves some credit here. His record is far from 100%, but when it comes to Italian/Serie A players, he's reliable. As we also saw with Van Persie, he's got connections elsewhere as well.
Really?
I honestly thought it was real because the last thing I heard about it was yesterday on Talk Sport when they had a half hour discussion about it, and compared how respectful Darmien was being to how disrespectful Sterling is being.
I agree Di Marzio deserves a lot of credit and he has been much more reliable this Summer (so far)
yeah, he even took to twitter to say he didn't have an instagram account, which was reported by the Express as a ''shock Darmian U-turn''
Yes, still confident, seen from outside it may seem as an opportunity to press for United but surely Mendes has offered United something in return if they are not so categorical in their requestsThat been they won't get him without paying a world record fee, or giving us Ramos.
@carvajal still confident you'll get him this week/weekend? Under non of the above terms?

I don´t think that 40 million euros for De Gea is looking weak , look at Bayern , which has always been characterized by being very hard in negotiations , they sold Kroos by 30. If Woodward doesn´t get Ramos, he can always say that was a long shot, besides probably he already signed Otamendi. Last year Di Maria was about to sign for PSG and suddenly came to United. Mendes did not know what to do with Falcao and United signed him.The press and fans tend to do a lot of literature on the negotiations , which are perhaps more mundane than we thinkWhat can he offer us if it's not including more money from Real, or one of your players (doesn't have to be Ramos, I hope it's not him)? Everything else would make us (Ed) look weak and I don't think Ed wants that.

Feck's sake
Ah OK, 40mil euros is a fair price, actually maybe more than fair. The pound strength is a bit of problem for us, but 29-30mil pounds for a GK i his last year of contract is a very good offer. Maybe we will negotiate 33mil pounds but in installments which would make it easier for Real and we could still claim we good the WR fee.
Considering we're going to be spending more than we're selling, it's good thing that EUR is weak.Not really. Officially, Buffon transferred for €51.956m which equated to £32.6m in 2001. If we received £33m for De Gea then it would be only be a World Record by UK standards.
€51.956m on today's exchange rate is £37.5m. No chance in hell we're getting a World Record fee for Dave.
€40m would be a fantastic deal for us in the circumstances. It's frustrating that the Euro is so weak that is happens to convert to only £28m. Still, the money goes towards signing other players on the continent so it's all a bit moot, as we'll then benefit from the exchange rate after being stung by it on Dave.
Because that would be stupid.If Madrid are willing to offer €40m for DDG and want €70m for Ramos, why not we offer €30m and DDG for him if we really want him and if he wants to move? Outflow of about £20m for Ramos and another £25m maybe for a GK

Oops, couldn't wait to reply once I got to that part...Did you stop reading that sentence. He says it will benefit us overall
This might be what he's referring to
Why exactly?
Why exactly?
Its the papers which dont know what to write about so are recycling the same story.We have been close, we have been closing the deal, we have been (put a transfer related word here) for about a week now.
Same applies to Schneiderline.
Because at 29 Ramos is not worth 70m euro
Because DDG is worth a lot more! We dont pay for Ramos, it would at worst be a straight swap.
But but...he only got one year left in his contract...... Well feck that, we dont let Real Madrid or DDG feck us around. He can stay for one more year then.
We (allegedly) offered just under £29m (roughly €40m) for him a few weeks ago, I'd imagine the Club aren't going to go much higher than that. Therefore it would be a stupid move by the Club to near double their original bid, not only that but we have to undersell our star player for the privilege.Why exactly?
According to the Valencia press, a move for Otamendi is nearing.
There's no bidding war, only a clause.Desperate attempt to start a bidding war
Desperate attempt to start a bidding war
And yet again I say, get your finger out of your arse Woody!More than a bidding war, it's probably an attempt at forcing United to pay the clause quickly instead of negotiate a cut price.
And yet again I say, get your finger out of your arse Woody!
Because we're dithering on some much needed players, and I'm bored without football.And why would he rush himself and throw millions out of the window?
