Getting late in the day. The Modric train will probably be departing soon. We may have to wait for the red-eye Fellaini train.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Or hop into a third-class Cabayrriage.
haha some bullshitter quoting a notoriously bullshitting source says the bid's been rejected. Oh well, that's that then I guess?
Stop saying that name and it might just go away.
barcastuff's not a bullshitter, the account just tweets news, rumours etc. from various papers and always names the source. It never claims to have its own information.
Bless Stickles, he actually thought the £30 million bid would get accepted 
Excellent grammar. Seems legit.
New manger? Are they building one soon?

I hardly know where to start with this 'news':
*That FLSNewss (aka LatestSports) account tweeted that there'd be a big United announcement at 7pm.
*Then they announced they were leaving Twitter due to the 'treats' they receive.
*It turns out that the 'treats' were actually 'threats' (death threats)...
*And their 'big MUFC announcement' was that SAF has given encouragement to a wheelchair-bound coach who wants to become United's manager.
I have no words...but at least I don't have treats.

RafaelH117: Kicker saying Vidal will sign with Real Madrid for 43m defeats the point of them signing Isco and Ilarramendi, keeping Khedira and Alonso. Shared via TweetCaster.
Kicker is pretty reliable, could only spell the end of Modric if it's true.

Knowing our luck we'd end up with Khedira.
Imagine Fabregas and Mordric? 
If Madrid are going for Vidal, I'd imagine it'd be Modric who'd be shafted...
If Madrid are going for Vidal, I'd imagine it'd be Modric who'd be shafted...We're after 2 CM's. One of them being Khedira would hardly be the end of the world.
Yes, and by 'knowing our luck, we'll end up with Khedira', I definitely meant that we'd end up with Khedira and Iniesta.
Also, it would be. He's truly awful, and horribly overrated simply by virtue of being at Madrid.
We are?
Yes.
Yes we are.
Someone should tell Lowe and Mourinho they know nothing about football if that's the case.Yes, and by 'knowing our luck, we'll end up with Khedira', I definitely meant that we'd end up with Khedira and Iniesta.

Bullshit. He was one of the best players at the Euros last year. Under rated player, would have him at United no question.
A third bid? We are quite persistent with this pursuit.
Thatta boy, Norwoodward.
I was of the opinion once we have Cesc wrapped up in cotton wool by the weekend, we were after Bale. Or Ronaldo. Or both.
Six years without a significant central midfield signing and now Moyes is giving us two in the space of a few weeks? feck me!
Wtf do Real need Vidal for? Greedy cnuts. All we want is one midfielder and they sign 3.
Is this Norwood well placed to make such statements? I know he's a club photographer, but I think he's probably just re-hashing rumours.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We may end up with McCarthy and Fellaini and while they're decent purchases, it'll be a bit underwhelming after all this drama.
Fabregas and McCarthy would be jizz-worthy, in my opinion.
Fabregas alone would be. McCarthy would be very nice on top
5m
Barcelona president adamant that Cesc Fabregas is not for sale, just like Moyes' & United's stance on Wayne Rooney.wenger was adamant that he wouldnt go either. lets give them a taste of their own medicine.
Whatever you think of Moyes, United as a club aren't stupid. We wouldn't be upping our bid if we hadn't had some sort of encouragement from Cesc/Barca camp.
Its all down to the money. They'll sell at a certain price
Jesus...let it go lads. Its not happening.
Why don't they just ask how much they want?
Yep. Let's hope our next bid is close enough to it, because I don't see us making four.
"Name your price?" is done all the time in business, then you either meet somewhere in between or tell them to shove it... Its risky of course because you're showing desperation in doing-so!
At this point would it really matter? "Hello Sn Rosell, how much would you like for Cesc?" "I will not sell Cesc for less than 45m". "Ok, here you go."
I'm being purposefully simple about it, but really that would be far more effective than this back and forth crap. Everyone and their cat knows they won't sell for 26m, or 30m, or 35m. After that (assuming they've any reason to sell, which I don't think they do), it gets interesting. Why fanny about with the early stuff? It's all just posturing.
