The Guardian.

It’s not easy being Ed Woodward. Armed with the money of Manchester United, the name of Manchester United, and the reputation of the manager of Manchester United, the pressure to actually sign people for Manchester United is more than your average human could bear. But Woodward is no average human, what with his designer beard, prominent cheeks and smouldering stare, and as such, his ability to link United with all manner of players for whom he is unable to complete deals is without compare.

When it comes to “weighing up bids”, “preparing bids” and “agreeing terms with the player”, United cannot be matched. Currently, they are thinking about considering whether to contemplate perhaps pondering a potential postulation as regards actually offering a suitable sum of money for Ángel di María. This is because Real Madrid are keen to sell and, given financial fair play restrictions, Paris Saint-Germain can’t afford to buy – clearly, what they need to do is get themselves banned from all transfer activity, like Barcelona. Anyway, Louis van Gaal has specifically referenced Di María as the kind of player United lack, so expect them to be priced out of a one-horse race in the next week or so.

And that is not all – United are also looking at Daley Blind, the world’s first footballer-newspaper. Van Gaal has noted publicly that Dutch players are cheap and good, so, most likely, Blind will join from Spurs for £174m, in two years’ time. In the meantime, a variety of types have been informed that they’ll be leaving Old Trafford – Marouane Fellaini, Nani, Javier Hernández, Rafael, Will Keane and Wilfried Zaha. The same was expected to be so of Antonio Valencia, a target for Wigan Warriors, but no one’s been able to find him since 2012.

Not transfer related but, someone on the Caf came up with this. Who was it?

I think this might have been the original?

Good lord, Vidal and Juve both trying to get the other to be the ones to initiate the "break up" so that they don't look like the bad guy. Can you imagine the conversation when he sits down with them?

Juve: Do you want to leave?
Vidal: Do you want me to leave?
Juve: We didn't say that. So do you want to stay?
Vidal: I didn't say that. Do you want me to stay?
Juve: If you want to go, we'll let you.
Vidal: If you want me to leave, I'll go.
Juve: So, do you want to go?
Vidal: Do you want me to go?
Juve: We asked you first.
Vidal: I asked you second.
Juve: They offered us a lot of money
Vidal: They offered me a lot of money, too.
Juve: So.
Vidal: So.
Juve: What do you think?
Vidal: I dunno, what do you think?
Juve: This is going nowhere.
Vidal: So you don't want me to go anywhere?
Juve: We didn't say that.

And then it continues like this for 3 hours, neither will commit to anything, so he stays resenting Juve because he didn't double his salary by moving, and Juve resenting Vidal because they missed out on some much needed funds.

That tweet was from yesterday though? Bit odd that it's only being picked up now. Also they are retweeting rumours from the Daily Star ffs :(

He posted that because someone else just tweeted the latest tweet from them, also regarding us and vidal. One page back in this thread.

Fair enough. They don't seem reliable to me though.

Other than the fact they are followed by Jamie Jackson, and some other reliable journos according to Adnan, I agree.

Followed up two questions later by Neil Custis:

"Hi Louis, it's clear some players came back to training later than others, I was just wondering if the Belgians are back in training yet?


"I have jusht said is stupid queshton, now anyone elsh?"

I can actually imagine someone asking:
"Is Fellaini training today?"
And then Van Gaal responding,
"What else would he be doing?"

Ian Ladyman, Mike Keegan and Dan Roan follow IndyKaila.:lol:

Aww come on, you get my hopes up a little and then drop that bomb :(

To be fair this 'sports tonight live' doesn't seem laughably bad. I'm sure that's the only reason that lot follow IndyKaila!

"Britain's newest free-to-air sports TV station". Sound like they're trying to make a name for themselves, quite an easy way for them to lure in followers and listeners. Maybe the know something but at face value, I reckon they don't have a clue and are just making shit up.

Their logo's a bit too similar to the Sports Direct one for their supposed company to be taken seriously.

Hunter is reliable too. Just signing Eto'o wouldn't be anywhere near good enough. Eto'o and another boss attacking player (a winger or a striker, preferably the former) and that would be okay.

You know you can only field 11 at a time, right? At this rate you'll be signing players in August who'll force the players you signed in July out of the squad. Why don't you just not sign Eto'o, and stick to the 'boss' attacker instead.

For a team, who firmly believe they can win the league, they appear more desperate for players then us :confused:

But - and this is apparently very important to them - only mediocre players. Spurs proved that that's the way to effectively replace a crucial star player, right? Blow all the money on fifteen average squad members.
