Monitor player, prepare bid, agree deal in principle with player... whats our next step in signing a player?
Well, they will still recoup a lot of money on him. They've undoubtedly overpaid, I don't think anyone will say anything contrary to that, but I really doubt they would have spent that amount of money if he wasn't an illustrious, big name in world football. Also, they already have Marquinhos, so if adding Luiz comes at the expense of Marquinhos, they've lost a superior defender. Hardly a benefit in purely football terms.
"Manchester United was never an option" as far as I'm aware.
Monitoring the club.
Hehe, the Express
You can't make someone move to another country......
"hey buddy, I know you want to stay where you've settled, but we think you should uproot your family and go somewhere else ".
You talk some shite lad.
You can't just throw ridiculous money at every player and expect him to sign.
And football doesn't work like that. Football contracts are complex documents. It's not about scrimping on 20p, it's the intricate details and small print.
I was referring specifically to Hummels because the media have brought this idea that he's available to sign, even though the player himself has stated his desire to stay at Dortmund multiple times over the last two years or so.
But fans seem to think its as simple as placing 40m and he'll be ours, and Woodwards inability to do this deems him a failure, even though there isn't an ounce of concrete evidence that he's even for sale.
Cheers, I'll delete it...
They really are the worst for making up complete and utter bullshit. They're worse than goal.com et al.
If he's reliable then -
Guess, Woodward has gone on holiday after completing these deals.
Yep, didn't realise how bad The Express were before this twitter thread. They create nonsense transfer stories every day
Not for the money Real Madrid want for him. Cuadrado is a better choice anyway, fits 3-5-2 and 4-3-3.
800 pages in twitter thread.
The only reliable source i've seen report on the speculation are Cadena Cope who say Madrid want close to €50m euros
We will have Vidal on loan then.
Exactly.
I fecking hate Juventus and their penny-pinching ways. They've got a litany of talent for fecking peanuts in recent years and now they look like extending that.
Lavezzi, Jovetic and Hernandez alone is a front three that would rival most in probably all of the major European leagues, and these wankers are trying to pinch them all on loan.
Jog on.
If you believe twitter, then yes. If on the other hand you think 99% of what is posted on twitter is bullshit written by attention seekers, you might not have arrived at the same conclusion.
Agreed, which is why signing Cuadrado makes perfect sense given he's had plenty of experience playing the Wingback role and if we ever did decide to move formation can be utilised as a right forward. He's more versatile and cheaper than Di Maria. Not really a contest for me.
Can't keep him out of the media these days.
Each page better than the last.
Here's to 800 more!
No, my opinion on them has been forged before this latest "news" broke.
Pogba, Tevez, Pirlo, Llorente, Evra, Barzagli, Pereyra... all players in their current squad who've signed for peanuts/on loan.
You mean they are shrewd in the market and don't let themselves get ripped off like we do?
Ok.
It's nothing to do with jealousy. Far from it.
I just abhor the idea of them scrounging around looking for deals on the cheap on a constant basis. They're the richest club in Italy, for feck's sake!
He is. He's done a good job, giving us something to talk about whether it's bollocks or not.
Be nice to actually discuss a United bid and not rumours.
Not sure that means that much though. Italy and rich are not two words that go together unless Berlusconi or Versace are included in the sentence.
YES!
Good, hopefully we'll keep it that way.
