Why the hell would we be interested now when we clearly were not interested just a couple of months ago at a similar price - especially with the player (seemingly, according to the article) failed to settle at a second big club with big expectations.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
£18m after he just signed for Lyon for roughly the same fee 
Sometimes journos should stop printing these articles and actually inform themselves on how this and that club operate during transfer windows.They don't know shit but they still come up with shit

What is amazing is they still hold jobs in nations where the better qualified but unemployed exist. Despite doing such obviously shoddy work.£18m after he just signed for Lyon for roughly the same fee

I'm not. To be truthful the more I see of Ninis the more I like.
We can't all have the same additcions
Now he is typical Greek player. Skillful and tough. It's gonna be interesting to see what he develops into.
If we purchase just Defour and Ninis next year I'd be more than happy. Gourcuff really doesn't seem to travel well.
Is it true he's fallen out with the Lyon coach already? I don't think we will ever had a midfielder in the Gourcuff/Patore mould whle Fergie is in charge.
That would be a decent summer....

No there is no problem between him and Puel.It's just that the Lyon want their coach as they shout "Puel démission" (Puel out) at every home game.It's not an easy context for him to do well so not surprisingly he has struggled so far
I don't see how calling him a typical Greek player can be seen as being a compliment, unless shit has lost all of it's negative connotations overnight.
Gourcuff has potential though, a few bad months here and there doesn't mean you are a bad player. I bet those of you saying you don't want him now would have been creaming themselves silly had we signed him a couple of months ago.
Still, bullshit and is extremely unlikely to materialise.
Yeah I still rate him
I have never thought Greek players to be shit. Besides, shit doesn't win Euro Championships.
If it helps, he's really Albanian.
Surprised this hasn't been shown
Scholes 2003
Wasn't that when we were trying to fit Veron in?
I see, I was curious when Lyon bought him as to how he and Pjanic would operate in the same midfield.
No. Actually that was when we took the title back from Arsenal in style. The year of the 3 shots 3 goals Scholes demolition of newcastle at St James Park. The best season I've witnessed from Scholes to date.
It doesn't
i completely forgot that he had signed for Lyon.
Just for the chief, enjoy.
Noooooooooooooo !!
It'd be a lot of money wasted
Football Manager says yes
The Frenchman says no. That's good enough for me.
It was on the caughtoffside. com, so I did not even bother to post it here.
January is fun. Summer is even more fun.
As I said it was purely for the enjoyment of the Chief, I know how wet he gets over a good Yourcuff link and the poor guy hasn't had one in such a long time, so even if it is caughtoffside, I thought it was still worth it for the lad.
If Fergie was all that interested, he would have made a move last summer when h was clearly for sale, he wouldn't have waited until after Lyon signed him - negotiating with Lyon is a freaking nightmare!
But we had so many more options last year. Ozil, Sneidjer, Schweinsteger, VDV etc. But this summer there won't be as many options so Fergie MIGHT look at him a little more closely.
all options he seemingly did not want. Schweinsteiger would be the only one that Fergie could have held off on Gourcuff for, with the hope of getting Schweinsteiger this summer at good value (with just a year left). I still don't think Fergie would have let Gourcuff go from Bordeaux without any kind of offer on the back of maybe/possibly having a chance to get BS this summer.
I don't think Fergie was or is interested in any of them.
I agree my muppet king! Congrats on your landslide award!!!
Gourcuff is a talent thats for sure but he'd wouldnt make it in England thats been my impression for quite a while now.

Well met sir, I dub thee Baron Deco!
I swear caught offside is basically wikipedia where people can log in and write anything they want!
Worst website ever.
You've obviously never been to tribal football.
The word bottle comes to mind.
Or footballrumours.co.uk!
I think caughtoffside.com is worse!
Tribalfootball cannot hold a candle to Caughtoffside, not even in the same league.
Has anyone heard of the Crunch Sports website?
Nowadays yes, but in it's day Tribal was the best for bollocks and has been unrivalled ever since. It has recently tried to become a more respected site. caughtoffside has done the opposite, it started off respectable with actual insight but it didn't get the hits as it was only making it's stories once every other week.
