Can't we get Nike, especially after the fiasco on the design of the new kit, to contribute something towards his salary i.e. they pay &50k p/w

Seriously, i recall there were rumours of this kind when we were chasing Sneijder last year.

:lol: why the feck would Nike want to do that?
 
While we're at it maybe Aon can get involved and DHL.

feck it, how about The Trafford, Bishops Blaize and The Dog and Duck chip in too.
 
:lol: why the feck would Nike want to do that?

My only reason would be so he wears a Nike shirt rather than Umbro, i'm aware that Umbro is owned by Nike.

You may recall when Ronaldo left United they were some talk about him wearing an adidas shirt of madrid and their preference was Barca as they were sponsored by them.
 
City will now be having Nike kits so either is good for them.

Ya, but Ronaldo was a proven top player at the time, atleast a deal like that would benefit them, but it is still a rediculous deal. Getting Nike to pay 50k a week to a talented young relatively unproven player in Hazard is also rediculous, that is setting the bar for other deals then, creating havoc really. Plus it is giving Nike a possibly say in things, I presume they'd want terms and conditions and all that, they dont just hand over money without getting something in return. Look at brazil world cup 98 for them apparently organising the team sheet.
 
Who the feck is this?

I notice a #Redcafe in there whats that all about the cnut?
 
I think it has come from Pete Boltons tweet, saying Hazard and Kagawa have being at OT and talked to Gill.
 
To be honest that one only caught my eye because of the redcafe hashtag, however according to @PeterBolton3 , Hazard and Kagawa were at Old Trafford with Gill today

Both Hazard and Kagawa been at Old Trafford with David Gill.

Lots asking "is it true" - yes they were at OT. Does not mean they will sign / have signed. (But good to know #mufc are at least trying)
 
Didn't Kagawa fly back to Japan on Monday or Tuesday? Did he just get home and then turn right back around despite there being WC Qualifiers with Japan in the next two weeks?

So yes he was at OT.
 
So Kagawa came back from Asia having been here a few days ago and Hazard was over for the day, despite having his last game for Lille in less than 48 hours. I think I see a few flaws in this one.

can you point out the flaws for me because this seems like a 100% true story

Don't think he meant today.
 
I'm guessing with Kagawa they are talking about the meeting the other day. As for Hazard, he only plays in France, it wouldn't be a big deal to fly here and back for the game in that timeframe, I mean Fergie was at the German cup final less than 24 hours before our final game of the season.

Seems that even the Icelandic are taking the piss out of transfer muppets :lol:
 
it doesnt matter. Peter Bolton needs to be more precise with his tweets. What can be confirmed regarding Hazard is that we have been in contact with him and his agent for some time now. That much is true. Whether he is signing or not, we will find out

He simply said they visited OT but not necessarily today...

Also, I would not be surprised if Hazard paid a visit to both teams in Manchester, before making his mind up.... although I have the feeling that when the first offers come in he ll be less indecisive..
 
Who is Pete Bolton?

He is a regular fan like us, but to the extreme where he hasnt missed a home game in over 30 years, and not missed a european away in the 00s. Follows all the reserve games and youth aswell. Not known to be ITK, just a good tweeter of all things United. the "One Love" flag at games is his concoction.
 
If that account is genuine, I believe him.
He has been at every game for fecking ages. He probably knows a few people behind the scene.

But as he says, means nothing. Kagawa confirmed the meeting... looks like we talked to Hazard too. Atleast confirms our interest..

We don t even know the reason for Hazard's visit, perhaps he fancies the tea lady...
 
Twitter account called source_football is very adamant that Hazard wants to join us, but no fee has been agreed yet.

They claim to only post things that are true.
 
Unless this is a massive, collective piss take from many sources, its beginning to sound like there's a hint of truth to it. Although, if he was at OT, it should be on the Beeb site.
 
Doesn't have to be a collective piss take really. All it needs is for many people to say the same thing on Twitter and you start to believe it might actually be true.

There's not many people on Twitter that know their beans when it comes to transfers. At the end of the day its all hearsay and I'd take everything with a pinch of salt. I include most journalists in that too!

That could be the case, although it should've been squashed by now if there was nothing to it.

Quashed by whom though?

I'd say the fact that no semi respected journalist has mentioned it says all we need to know about that.

The only source on Twitter who knows anything regarding this type of thing is Official. Seen him been right on a number of deals/news in the past.

Just don't pin your hopes on some Twitter talk, thats all :)

Again, I dont doubt that he knows something but the thing he is saying nothing new.

It does confirm our interest.. and also confirms that its pretty advanced.
Its gone beyond contacting the club and talking to the agent.
 
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has underlined his desire to keep Wesley Sneijder at the club.
 
Imagine if we really sign both of them.

It wouldn't surprise me. We seem in one of those buying moods this year. I wouldn't have thought five years ago that we would end up with Nani, Anderson, Tevez, and Hargreaves in one swoop.
