You can be sure that's no more signings at either left back or central midfield if we buy him for stupid money... do not want.
 
itk99 has been spot on many times before, not sure if hes got much wrong in comparison. He has also stated that he isnt the best when it comes to inside knowledge at United so I think someones fed him something.
 
To be honest, all of us saying buy a CM and not Lucas will shut up if he turns out to be a star. Very few of us have seen him play - if he turns out to be world class, I would much rather buy him than a CM.

I'm not sure I follow. In this scenario couldn't we buy a midfielder who could turn out to be world class?

It's quite easy to be spot on about transfers not likely to happen when you tweet that bids were rejected...

Why do you post some shit from someone whose Twitter name is intheknow99?
 
Tancredi Palmeri‏@tancredipalmeri I don't see any other end for Lucas than going to Manchester United.Looks like a matter of time. If Mutd can spend 33,so they can spend 37

Nice... Still doubt the whole thing though. Although I think it's because of how many times recently we seem to be so close and then nothing happenes.
 
99% of twitter in the knows, are knob heads......so why do people give it such credibility? It's the same tired shite. Story's come out because the media wouldn't survive without them...

He's only quoting Brazilian reports. Nothing to do with being ITK...

He has it in his name, trust me he qualifies...the storys on newsnow.co.uk which is a traffic portal, i'm sure the guy has his contacts hehe
 
Apparently Owen has been offered deals from various clubs and is making his mind up now. Rumoured to be Villa as the favourite.

:lol: 38 million.

Now what is the highest fee paid for a player from South America by a European club?

Denilson from Sao Paulo (ironically) to Betis was a world record at £21.5m. I'm not sure if Robinho to Madrid might have been more expensive.
 
I know it's unfashionable to say on this board as the general approach is if we don't sign a player we've been reported as trying to get for weeks on end, it's a case of "We were never in for him," but I think just like Sanchez and Hazard we are in for Lucas, I think Fergie's looking for another young magic player he can do a Ronaldo with.

Possibly because the scouting team have identified a "Can't miss" talent? I haven't seen Lucas at all - I know nothing about him. I am just speculating.

How times have changed, Ronaldo was a mere £12M!
 
You can't 'do a Ronaldo' with someone that costs £30 million. For that price, you have no option but to become a top player, I just worry that Lucas won't live up the the expectation in a similar way to Berbatov.

I'm surprised Sao Paulo are turning this down, if true. He's not worth that much, as it is.

24 million euro at the time same amount as Robinho when he went to Real. I find it extremely strange that a South American club would turn down 38 million euro especially now with the euro being much stronger these days.

I don't even think we will offer 38m euros for an unknown Brazilian player for a start to be honest. I can't see us doing that
 
There is no way on Earth we've bid £30m for the player. Either the president didn't check which team in 'Manchester' the bid/ delegation came from, or it's just some weird political move.
