VDS has a way of doing that to some other people we know as well...I recently discovered that Ed Woodward is a real life leprechaun
Really feel like this should be called performances.
Just heard about him offering counselling to a journalists daughter who was at the gig.
Flew her Dad home early as well.
Great gesture.

What details? No details were given. You might want to look up the word details before continuing to embarrass yourself .
If any is embarrassing himself here is you having already proven yourself to be a thick moron who can't understand simple points.
The problem is you believe the fee the paper got out from thin air. There was rumor Mkhi we're paying 40 mil or more last year. Then the official fee ended at closer to 25 mil GPB (?).
Back to Perisic, according to this source, then we didn't make a bid
Let remember that Inter Milan has no European football for next season. Some players may have clause for this case & affect transfer fee.
Also 30 mil is a standard fee for decent players to PL teams nowadays
Ed Woodward shows his class-
Really classy thing to do.
Who would be our 8 homegrown players? Rashford, Lingard, Bale and Keane... who else?
Carrick, Young, Pogba, and someone else, depends
You're ruining my FM warchest
Hmm.. carrick, pogba, harrop, fosu mensah?
Also sell Blind for 10 and buy someone with a funny name
How could he not be a nice guy with that smile of his.
Respect.
Total class by the big man. Well done Ed. The club is in safe hands with him around.

Would Tuanzebe class as homegrown?
Been with us since 8, so I think he will.
No the problem isn't you haven't recognised the use of words like if and rumour, I feel I believed everything I would be stating it as a fact, I was commenting on a hypothetical that's all.
Well managers get things wrong and it's would be a pretty dull forum if we accepted every decision made by the manager and chairman without comment. Mourinho and Woodward have and will continue to make errors, and part of Woodward's job is to care about the money.
Fair play to him,it was a really nice thing to do.
Think we'll spend less this year than last.
If we keep him it will end up around £57 million, its already up to £44 million after this season. All the others are about right.
Thats true virtually every player that goes somewhere else the press link with Utd. Today Strootmann has signed a new contract and in the headline Man Utd target.... Tottenham signed a young kid and the headline Tottenham beat Man Utd to striker.... Then the vile fans from other clubs start with the snubchester parodys
I think more
I want to see more of this. Just because we can spend the 50m asking price doesn`t mean we should. If anything it just furthers sets the precedent that we are desperate and not prone to negotiation, but just splashing. If rumours are to be believed, Perisic wants the move so clearly he will be unsettled if the move does not go through. We need to be astute about the way we go about our business and play hard ball a little more, which I`ve no doubt we will.
We have loads of money, but not a bottomless pit of unlimited funds. Spending more than necessary is never good business, on any level. Eventually it will catch up to us.
Only if he win the Ballon d'or! I'd gladly pay that money or even more for that achievement.
I just had to look the exact scenarios up and I think the last 2 we are safe with. He wont reach 25 caps before 2019, or win the Balon d'or..
Its funny, some times he looks like a cool intense motherfecker and other times he looks like a chinless wonder Tory minister. I wonder who helps him out with the negotiations.
So you wouldn't pay 57 million for a Ballon d'or winner to be in our team?
In fact, scrap that... you wouldn't pay 17 million to upgrade Martial to be a Ballon d'or winner?
Fantastic business from Woody.
I never said that. Of course I would love him to win Balon D'or here it would mean the team had probably won the Premiership or Ch League...or both.
That's pretty fixable. Sell Romero and sign a homegrown backup keeper, add the #3 keeper and Carrick and Young as useful depth and you're at 8. It's not so much that you need homegrown players, it's that you can't have more than 17 non-homegrown over 21s.
Hope he has got an ace up his sleeve. A huge setback today.
Probably got a Jack up his sleeve, a Jack fecking Wilshere
It wasn't us that pulled out though.To pull out of Greizmann (
To pull out of Greizmann (
We pulled out? Yeah right.
We won't sign Wilshere.
What did I miss? Just heard we had cooled our interest.
Greizmann stuff is not his fault, the CAS ruling meant they wouldn't sell him and he didn't want to leave Atleti without them being able to buy a replacement.
We probably got the heads-up that the ruling would be upheld and decided to brief the press in advance that we'd withdrawn our interest in the player to save face. It looks better than just being rejected out of the blue after it seemed nailed on for months.

The irony that having got CL and lost our primary target already is quite amusing after last summers perfect window, sure the cheese man will pull a rabbit out of the hat at some point though.
