Kroos is this years Thiago, not happening.

Was listening to a podcast during the week, "The game" I think it was. Someone said Thiago was a done deal but Giggs called it off saying he's not a united player.

Go home you're drunk ye clown...
You said Kroos would be done a few days after the german cup final
4 days and counting..
stop trying to look like you're in the know because no one believes you

kryogen · 21-05-2014 09:30AM

Would probably never ever listen to anything "The Game" has to say ever again in that case

Why do you constantly refer to the Jones transfer fee as £20million?

because that is what he cost when internationals, PL titles and appearances are all met. the initial transfer fee is at £16.5 plus add ons of £4million.

Blackburn manager Kean confirmed this on several sources -

"Contracts are very complicated but with the games that he will play and with different bits and bobs that will be added on it will go above £20 million, so it's a very, very big fee," Kean said.

Telegraph -

Manchester United claimed victory in their transfer wrangle with Blackburn over England Under-21 defender Phil Jones on Monday, despite the Ewood Park manager Steve Kean’s insistence that the champions could pay as much as £20.5 million for him.

when we missed out to City on winning the league, there were reports every where that it saved us £2million....

before the world cup..... shaw is in Portugal at the moment so his deal should be announced after England game this weekend against peru... kroos should hopefully be a few days later

Lovely Bloke · 21-05-2014 09:33AM

Kean is a confirmed bluffer though

patmac · 21-05-2014 09:35AM

We should go for Yaya but not forget his birthday obviously, I mean if he's that pissed off about it he might come to United. Transfer request because they forgot his birthday did ya ever hear the like.

If he stays in England I cannot wait for every fan to sing Happy Birthday whenever he gets the ball :pac:

in all fairness, Pique was un-keepable as he was too good to sit on the bench. Rio made the world team of the year in 2008, Vidic did it in 2009 and no young defender in the world was going to break up that partnership, he wasnt going to sit and accept it.

its just unfortunate that he broke into the squad then, another year or two later and he'd have made it, though i do think he was always destined to go back to Spain, like Fabregas for instance...its just in their blood.

same for Rossi, he had Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and an in form Saha (2007/2008) in front of him.

Pogba however is a completely different story, it will rank as one of Fergies greatest ever mistakes. however, it does appear from what Fergie was saying, that Pogba was a problem child behind the scenes (or more to the point his agent) and this caused his downfall.

in saying that, had we given Pogba the money he wanted, i think he would have stayed.

In fairness to Pogba I think he just wanted playing time, keep saying it but when Fergie picked Park and Rafael in midfield for that Blackburn game he may as well have shipped Pogba out then! Huge mistake!

So pure speculation on your part...c'mon lad time to stop talking BS...

I could say similar applies to Hummels, Cavani, Reus etc

Sure LvG is going round the Dutch camp negotiating contracts with Clasie, de vriejs, Sneijder, Martins, Strootman, Kuyt, Stekelenburg etc to sign up for us...

These are pure speculations on my part and i have no inside knowledge but sure they'll all be done before the World Cup..

Let the club take care of the signings and release the news when they're confirmed

Ah, so Steve Kean wouldn't lie is the premise, fair enough

Phil Jones has won 1 Premier League title, no domestic cups, obviously no European cups and he hasn't exactly played every game has he so I highly doubt he would have triggered too many club success bonuses regardless

Do you think he has met the clauses in his contract already that could see that fee rise to the £20million you keep stating, honestly?

See this is where I can't tell who is taking the piss and who is trying to be genuine, with all the speculation and rumors its hard to tell who is adding fuel to the fire, ive a feeling you're joking because of the specific time

A few days later, after the German cup final? Didnt we already have that

TheDoc · 21-05-2014 09:50AM

Anyone use Bet365 now how to see odds and place bets on transfers?

I'm using the mobile app. Got paid out on LVG and want to reinvest

Brien · 21-05-2014 09:50AM

I've been mulling over all the rumoured managers we've been linked with in the past, or fans favourites.
A selection of what we heard:
Gordon Strachen
David o leary.
Martin o Neill
Carlos Queiroz
Roy Keane
Sven (very nearly true )
Sparky
Rene M
AVB
Ole

And most recently:
Pep
Jose
Klopp
Simeone.

I guess some of the names would never have fit with what we all think of as the "man utd style". Some just had no chance of leaving Dortmund (pity). But of all the names in football today, Van Gaal simply "fits" what I think we all want for United.

Which managers have turned your head over the years. I loved the comedy that came from a Strachan interview, now imitated by klopp. I was in the Jose fan club for his ego a few years back.

Tl; dr: I'm very happy we have the Iron Tulip.

Anyone bar the BBC is talking utter shíte.

All of these 'sources' and not one of them can say who it is giving them this information, nor can they provide an actual date or time that will be right. Poor old bangkok has been saying Kroos was to be signed since the German cup for Christ's sake.

Hoco i think TBF there's only one supporter claiming we're doing deals and when because he's ITK!!!!

Everyone else is trying to work things out based on news, journalsists, other sites, twitter etc but in a reasonable fashion.

I've contacts in Turin

in fairness anyone coming on pretending to be ITK should be turfed out. If you seen something from a journo or someone of credibility then by all means post it. Posting that you have contacts is nonsense, I have contacts at underage level and most of the times these coaches who are involved with a club don't know senior team affairs so unless someone has an inside track to Woody or LVG there talking cap IMO

bangkok · 21-05-2014 10:03AM

yes I agree it is speculation on my behalf, on sky sports behalf and on BBC's as no one can know for certain only the player until the deal is signed for example, Gerrard in 2005 to Chelsea the deal was 99.9% completed and then at 12 o clock at night gerrard called the chairman and said he wanted to stay at Liverpool as his family had been threatened... or roy keane to Blackburn he shook hands with dalglish and he signed for united... and who can forget diego forlan and berbatov.... forlan agreed to join Middlesbrough, berba man city and were both met at the airport by utd officials and signed for united.....

BUT and its a massive but.... as it stands as of this moment from what I have been told luke Shaw and Toni Kroos will be joining Man Utd...

Necronomicon · 21-05-2014 10:05AM

Quite an entertaining piece written by a Dutch journalist with advice for his British counterparts in how to interview Van Gaal. Can't wait to see his first press conference.

http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/05/21/british-journalists-follow-these-ten-rules-for-interviewing-louis-van-gaal/

A little taste:

3. Don’t introduce yourself Or else he’ll know your name, remember it and use it against you. You will not be some anonymous guy with a microphone and a cameraman on his side; you will be Gary, or Clive, or Tony, with whom he will or will not have a feud from the get-go. (He will.)

Told by who? From what I've been told this also true, however my sources are journos on twitter etc. Your implying you have an inside knowledge which i highly doubt

kryogen · 21-05-2014 10:13AM

When you read "What I have been told" just assume he meant "What I have read"

Well, as it stands as of this moment (11.20) from what I have been told, we are not signing Luke Shaw and Toni Kroos.

FutureGuy · 21-05-2014 10:23AM

The more I hear and read about Van Gaal, the more I cannot wait for the season to start.
