Our second midfield signing was always going to be a surprise. I'm excited.
True that.
I am surprised Jackson hasn't made us aware that we are not in for Vidal/Carvalho. Normally he would be the first one to do so, yet doesn't care what united think about him.
Did they all ring at the same time? They were briefed before the press conference.
Top five transfer threads:
- Wesley Sneijder (newbies) - 26,529
- Arturo Vidal - 24,856
- Cristiano Ronaldo 2008 - 20,596
- Dimitar Berbatov - 19,384
- Thiago Alcantara (newbies) - 17,304
So Lucas Silva then?
I still think that we will make a big time signing by Tuesday.

He isn't the first type of midfielder we need, but I'd still gladly add him as he's better than what we have, but would prefer someone more defensive
Maybe just maybe the club know what they are doing and the knee really is a big long term concern.
I can understand the reluctance having been burned once with Hargreaves.

Easy for journos to say who we aren't going to sign, because they can't say who we are. Totally in the dark.
Something is going on, do you really think we would let go of Cleverly if we are not going to sign any midfielders? We have shit midfield anyway, let alone giving away Cleverly.
Just think logically. Maybe we are chasing after a midfielder who is a back-up to Vidal/Carvalho. Maybe that player is young, experienced but has potential.

Why would DT be reluctant to report this? Would suggest he's not sure if its misdirection from the club or the genuine truth.
Be Interesting to know of the last 2 years, the top 5 threads, compared with the count of the threads concerning the players we actually bought and see the difference, I'd wager most marquee signings have fairly large threads everytime, it's only when we sign the Carvalho/Blind/Schniederlins etc that it has a lower count..
Because of the amount of shite he gets from people on twitter when he posts things fans don't wanna hear.
Or he hates to say it?
Because he gets abused every time he posts bad news.
Mata's wasn't too big, I don't think.
Because he gets flack from idiots on Twitter.
Maybe because people react like drama queens when he does.
I am convinced it is a different source to the rest. Ian Ladyman and Mark Ogden said we are in for them.
who should that be? There is no player in that category that is available or is far too expensive.
Yeah good point, that did happen very quickly, but it's rare a top club wants to sell a top player for a good price to a rival..
Well... uh yes... there is that too...
As you were...
Mitten said we only briefed the press when we were absolutely sure that something was happening, therefore there's a good chance that most of these briefings aren't by Woodward at all.
I haven't seen a lot of Daley Blind so I can't really judge him but he does seem like a underwhelming midfield signing when we were being linked with so many different CM's.
Exactly, letting Tom go and not getting any mid would be catastrophic managment, I mean who will play in the midfield....
Blind!
Between talk of his dodgy knee, him not wanting to force the move and the large fees being touted, the Vidal deal has probably been dead for a while now. Was hoping Carvalho would end up signing but that looks unlikely now also.
Be interesting to see what we do over the next few days. It's clear van Gaal wants some more players, both in and out.

he is young, has a bit of experience but real potential? Players in that category are Koke,Pjanic or Bender. And for 20m, we are massively overpaying for what he is, a versatile squad player.Here's hoping we send Javier Hernandez somewhere other than Juventus then.
Well, van Gaal has said there are things happening for us in the market, both outbound and inbound, so i'd love to know who we're going to get.
Should be a very interesting few days, thats for sure

It's not Juve. We are the ones who are hesitant over his knee.
Well if we're the ones that have decided not to pursue the deal because of his knee or not wanting to pay the money, we shouldn't deny Chicha the move he may want.
You are probably right. It's funny how it is always Juve who are going on about Vidal not being for sale. Almost like they know his knee is dodgy and wanted to sell so they could replace him, but United weren't biting.
For those that didn't see or can't remember the press conference yesterday, LvG said that there will be players leaving and players coming in , he will not tell the press anything (as it will increase the price) and we will only know when the club announces and presents the players
Dunno why everyone getting upset about the DT tweet. We're getting a decent midfielder. Probably 2 if Cleverly is on his way. He's probably said we're in/out for them 20 times this summer already
Given that one day reports said "We're in for Vidal" and the next day repots said "bid rejected" and now the reports say "we're not in for Vidal" while Vidal is posting "happy at Juve" and Juve are saying "He'll stay" all on the same day... perhaps people can put two and two (and two, and two) together? It's entirely possible that we WERE in for Vidal.
Judging by what LvG just said, we've made offers to players to come, but they're not willing to push through a deal. Got the stench of Vidal all over it.
Has there been any sense at all of the club briefing the media that we were after/bidding for Vidal? All I've seen all summer is paper talk and van Gaal name dropping him once along with Messi.
Pretty sure that the first time all of the more reliable sources said it on the same day, at the same time, they were briefed. Can't think of any other time that has happened. Hard to say, though. In the end I suppose it won't matter either way, we'll know in a few days what the results are.
