This is the real one.
 
Tancredi, incidentally, is saying that an agreement between United and Vidal is in place
 
I dont think Fabregas was interested in coming to us, he was more interested in self-promotion at Barca & stringing us along in the process.

It was said at the time, that his bird was London-based & she didnt want him to move to Manchester. Then when he signed for Chelsea, it was then reported that his missus was the contributing factor why he went there - as opposed to us..

I couldnt care less to be honest - he's someone elses twat. Cant wait for him to get all the grief he deserves when he plays at the Emirates..

What was that quote of his: "I'd rather die than wear a Chelsea shirt.."

Think this is spot on. Which is why even though theoretically we did nothing wrong in chasing him, I get wound up at Woodward and Moyes for wasting their time going after him.
 
This is the wrong signing. If he joins, I fear it will end in disappointment. I am not doubting his quality, but he is not the correct player for United. The injury is worrisome and brings back nightmares of Hargreaves.

I prefer a midfielder to play with grace and intelligence. Kroos would have been a magnificent acquisition. Vidal seems to me an instinctive player. Or why not Pogba, who combines class and composure with physicality and youthful exuberance. Very alarmed if we sign Vidal for a huge fee. If we ever were to sign him, it should have been three years ago from Leverkusen, now it is too late.
 
There timelines have been quite similar thus far, but I'm more confident of this one.
They've been incredibly similar. I don't think any reliable source reported our interest. A lot was fuelled by De Gea writing on a ball and Graham Hunter who usually knows feck all.

Pogba is the definition of an 'instinctive' player right now, don't see why you'd rather we take him over Vidal, who has been much more disciplined.

i wouldnt be as harsh. Hes not as gracefull as verratti, but is tougher. You are kind of getting a hybrid of verratti and keane. Hhe works really hard. reminds me of bastian schweinsteiger a bit
 
This GdS headline is photoshopped and there's nothing on Corriero Del Sporto(or whatever)'s site.
 
Done Dealio :lol:

With this new kit deal I'm thinking anything is possible. Is there a 'Welcome to United' youtube video yet?
 
True, but I don't think Fabregas was unavailable last summer. I think when we were bidding he was available, and wanted a move. The manager change seemed to change everything.

Ignoring the three or four statements in which he emphatically denied that he had any interest in leaving Barca.

Shut up David, you had your chance at the club and you failed horribly.

Lots of things in football scare you.
 
You know people are desperate to sign some guy when they try to convince themselves that Tancredi knows whats happening. :lol:

He's younger than Modric, Nancy.

Wtf is grace? Pinging long balls to a winger? Because I assume that is what lures you to Kross and makes him magnificent.
 
No, they came before, during and after. He was saying it again and again throughout the summer. Everyone just decided to ignore him in favour of twitter journalists claiming it might happen.

You're right i remember one denial in may.

Pogba is 21, Vidal is 27. Pogba is still young enough to mould into a more perfect player. And a player of 21 is a much wiser investment than one of 27, he can ideally give us a decade of service, and even if he decides to leave, the club can still generate a large fee for his sale. And of course it may be embarrassing to spend a huge fee to bring him back after losing him for free, but it would also feel like redemption, correcting one of the most catastrophic mistakes in this club's (recent) history.

Pogba was just crowned the Best Young Player of the World Cup, and is the current holder of the Golden Boy award, signing him would be extremely important and a resounding statement to other clubs across Europe. We have signed the world's best young player, and we are building for the future.

Nah, don't agree. He was available until the manager change. We weren't making public bids without encouragement.
