Explains why he is still here. Him and Fergy must have been great buddies.
I posted a summary in the Manchester United Transfer rumours thread. It was pretty shit to be honest. No news.
Excellent news
Ferguson is full of praise for him in his book.
I was bored enough to watch it.
- Rojo deal held up in the same way Mangala was held up. Red-tape.
- Manchester United categorically denying any interest in Vidal and it's most likely Juventus are trying to create a market for him. They also think we need a more defensively inclined midfielder rather than another attacking threat.
- Di Maria will be sold if a club comes in and makes a good offer in the same way Real Madrid sold Ozil. They will sell Di Maria to recoup the money they lost on James. Apparently Perez didn't look very happy when one of them, I forgot who asked him the question.
strange, you called him a pretentious twat the other day
Doesn't look fat in this.. Maybe this year is going to be different!!
feck all really.
-Norcroft said Vidal wasn't the player we needed because he didn't impress him at the world cup. He then went on to showcase his expertise further by educating us all on Vidal being a number 10 and United not needing a number 10. McDonnell agreed. Mitten didn't address that point.
- Mitten said that Vidal wanted to move and Juve wanted to sell. Mcdonnel said that United weren't interested (officially) and that it was Juve trying to create a market for him.
- McDonnel said he didn't think Vidal would sign. United categorically denied it.
- Asked about Di Maria, Mitten said Perez wanted to sell and that United could get Di Maria but it would be very expensive. He said it'd be a tough deal to do but he was a fantastic player. That was it.
- Mitten said they asked Perez about selling Di Maria to Man Utd earlier in the summer and he just shrugged and walked off.
- Other two said we needed a marquee signing but that we really need a deep lying midfielder.
He was the Dressing Room Clown it seems. SAF seemingly liked that type of characters.
That's neither here nor there when they've all been equally wank when match day comes round.
Also, it's even more of a kick in the mouth to see the other two stinking up the place week after week whilst he can't get a kick when he's the most talented of the three.
From Nani's POV, getting a guaranteed season's worth of games and being treated like a hero makes sense, but from ours, surely Nani is a better option to have than not, considering our alternatives.
Thanks mate! Very helpful
Must have been 30 minutes of some real hard negotiations
I think Nani had to go to make the Rojo deal happen. I very much think the other wide players are living on borrowed time. In a couple of years, the first eleven might be very different.
IMO we missed Valencia on Saturday. He's got a great engine, tons of pace, great work ethic, is solid defensively. Most of the attributes you need for a right wing back. His end product isn't great, that's been his problem for the last two years. But he's not playing as a winger anymore, so it's somewhat mitigated. Somewhat. He hugs the touchline too and can stretch their back line with his pacey runs in behind the full back. Lingard and Januzaj cut in so much, when we needed to stretch the field. Especially important when you consider Young was cutting back in on the other side every single time he got the ball.
And yet three different managers have decided Young and Valencia more worthy of staying and playing. It's not a coincidence. They haven't all taken an irrational dislike to him. That's a discussion best had in the Nani thread though.
Maybe he'll be pictured with the shirt tonight.
I really wish Anderson was a good footballer, he's probably our most likeable player but he's sadly just rubbish.
Oh Valencia definitely has his uses for us, no question at all, it's just that so would Nani - he is a potential match-winner, after all - and to then use him as a make weight for a non-marquee player, whilst paying all of his wages (if true) just seems like a bizarre thing to do.
doesn't appear to be on flightradar. No private jets from lisbon on the flightpath to manchester
What if they're demanding £70 or £80 million because they're well aware United are under pressure to buy.
The club seem to have numerous targets. I suspect ideally they'd wrap them all up quickly at around the same time so the other clubs involved donet get wind of it.
Nani has less uses in our new formation though. I think that saved Young and Valencia's asses for the time being.
Check the choppers.
Nani would be a decent asset for a 4-3-3 though. If ya need a goal, he COULD come up with something to win ya the game.
As I say that one has just reached an altitude to be clocked - leaving from lisbon area - interesting to see where it goes to.
We reverted to a different system pretty much straight away when we were in trouble on Saturday. I don't think that'll be a one-off, so then someone like Nani would be very handy to provide that extra tactical option.
If we somehow manage to get Di Maria, we're probably going to change system anyway.
Oh well, he's gone now.
It sounds odd, but in 2 years time, I only see De Gea, Shaw and Wayne Rooney as players in the current side who will almost certainly still be in the first team.
Could be flying to London, pretty sure Herrera did before travelling to Manchester the next day?
So Ando's video probably generating more interest than the Rojo signing at the moment. Underwhelming signing or are we just jaded with the transfer window?
To be honest hes not been at it for the last few seasons but I wish him well and hope he can rediscover some form and confidence to earn another go at united .
Bit of both I suspect. Glad we have signed Rojo but it's hardly a signing that raises the pulse. Lots of question marks over him IMO. Of course one hopes for the best. One thing he does have is bags of pace. Mitten compared him to a left footed Phil Jones.
Doesn't sound odd to me. I presume you think Mata will go? Must admit I thought the same of Rooney (despite apparent Van Gaal/Rooney love-in).
I'd go with the latter. It's been a frustrating window for sure.
Certainly seems to be the case. It's one hell of a sweetener if the details are true.
It does keep us on good terms with the club should we go in for Carvalho next summer though...
Yeah I bet Sir Alex will take the challenge.
Also from that video it seems Ando is not in fact fat.

Januzaj certainly will be there.
