What was ridiculous is that people were moaning about transfers even though there was two months to go. These moaners polluted most of the threads with their drivel In the summer.

Yes, Toni Kroos's agent talking with Real (as I told you 6 weeks ago). Understand Bayern will only be in for Vidal IF Kroos leaves
feck off Bayern.
Well, that's Vidal off then.
Real Madrid seem to be stockpiling midfielders at the moment. Does this mean we can expect a "Modric to United" story soon? Not a proper summer transfer window until that happens, it's like Christmas and the Coca Cola advert.

Cocktease alert!
Vidal doesn't seem like a Pep type midfielder.
Vidal rejected bayern when he went to juve.
FFS, he's just angling for followers. No serious journo would just post that and leave it hanging.
Des Lynam has gone renegade!
Rejecting someone 3 years ago does not indicate he would reject them right now.

Inter president Thohir: "Atletico are interested in (signing) Handanovic and Icardi, but we have no intention to sell"
Anticipating an anti climax.
Well that's Vidal off then 
bloody Pep and his obsession with midfielders.
bloody Pep and his obsession with midfielders.That McDermott guy knows nothing... been following him for a year up until recently, he hasn't got one thing right. Just posts stuff he read in the papers and pretends to be ITK...
McDermott should be blacklisted.

Aye!
Shit Fjortoft has spoken, must be a done deal then, call the whole thing offWell that's Vidal off then
Just saw this quote from Dwight Yorke,
"They are probably looking to bring in another seven players into the squad, so with Van Gaal on international duty, his team are doing extremely well."

Judging by your username, maybe you did?!

Some of those might be youth players though, I suppose. But seven more?
Ander Herreras agents demied he was coming too..
June 20th - Ander Herreras Agent
"There has been nothing new," Canales said. "There were rumours during the whole year, saying that United would try and sign him this summer, and even that [Jose] Mourinho wanted him for Chelsea, but we have not heard anything.
"The player is focused on Athletic and nothing else," he said. "Ander is on holidays and he is only thinking about the coming season with Athletic, because he is very excited about playing the Champions League with his team."
June 26th He signs for Us.
Agents talk shit.

We rarely spend big and in the past 10 years Chelsea have spent double and City not too far behind. Our squad is in need of a massive overhaul and investment in the best of the ready made available targets so I don't see anything wrong if both Vidal and Sanchez are available and we spend what ever is necessary to land those targets. My guess would be €40-45 million each. That's roughly £65-70m of our apparently £140 warchest (taken away 60 for Shaw/Herrera).
Leaves us with 70 million to invest in a CB and 1-2 young players for future development (Depay could be possible one)
We could easily make up 30-40 million on selling players alone, take that from the 'war chest' we'd only be spending 150-160m to go from midtable players to a world class/ potential world class XI.
The Muppet XI
De Gea
Rafa, Jones, Hummels, Shaw
Vidal, Herrera
Sanchez, Mata, Januzaj
RVP
Subs : Rooney, Carrick, James Wilson, Depay, Kagawa, Smalling..etc

Hope he's including youth players getting promoted like Varela and Wilson when he says 'seven new players'. I'm all for signings and I think we should have concluded five transfer by September, but nine new signings could seriously destabilize the squad.
If Yorke is right it makes alot of sense but dont expect us to hit top level untill Jan. As weve seen with Spurs players need time to bed and sometimes there are too many superstars you have no idea where to look in terms of improvements. Say we do get Vidal and just for arguments sake add Carvalho too, how do you play them? all three? it would be an insane midfield but also they would need to learn each others games. Most likely it will have a knock on effect such as Vidal adapting first to his role but it turns out he works best with Herrera but Herrera doesnt work well with Carrick/Carvalho because they need to understand what each other are doing off of Vidal.
I could see us going in for Vidal, Alexis/Robben/James, Carvalho/Khedira, Hummels and possibly Vermearlen to add to Herrera and Shaw.

I can see Lawrence, Keane, Lingard and Wilson being amongst those "new names".

Dani Alves (31) is no longer the main right back option of french club PSG, who will try to sign Toulouse right back Serge Aurier. [md]
If we get Vidal, I think we'd be done with CM signings. Vidal, Herrera, Mata would be first choice, with Anderson and one of Fletcher/Cleverley likely leaving.
Source please?Just saw this quote from Dwight Yorke,

Sarcasm mate. But it's possible especially if Kroos leaves.Shit Fjortoft has spoken, must be a done deal then, call the whole thing off
Could be gone, before he even begins.
He was really shite at Cardiff whenever I've seen him play, totally out of depth at this level. Cardiff were destined to go down though, so probably not the best indication. I admit I often forget he's on our books.
I saw it on Facebook but couldn't find any source so it's probably made up.

#mufc certainly trying to get Vermaelan and Vidal (more problematic) and also trying to get the Carvalho price tag lowered.
