Hello it’s Ed Woodward again.

Yes, yes it was quite embarrassing. That was also very regrettable and as I said last time, we're very sorry about that, but funnily enough that’s why I’m calling.

We're still interested…

No we made no bid for Toni Kroos…. he’s not our type of player. Yes, he has looked good at the World Cup. No not Schweinsteiger either.

Fabregas was a complex situation..

Vidal? …who does he play for?

Mr. Van Gaal has full faith in me.

Listen about Ander Herrara, what’s your bottom line?

Same as last year? But…

Yes I know your club has been clear about that but I was hoping..

I see.

Will you accept bitcoin?

:rolleyes:

Buttner

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Are you upset that Buttner is saying nice things about his new club? Or that he isn't being effusive in his praise for the club that didn't ever give him any real gametime?

If I come in from work later and don't see Herrera in a United shirt,I'll be pretty pissed off:

WTF is that?

It makes no sense

Hank Scorpio · 24-06-2014 02:57PM

Fairly strong Spanish contingent at the club if Herrera signs, who'd have thunk it! I keep forgetting we have Mata and one of the best young keepers in the world in De Gea

That was from last year

fuzzydunlop85 · 24-06-2014 03:06PM

Haven't seen much of Herrera to be honest, looked at his scout nation video there, his stats ain't great 2 goals and 3 assists in 30 odd games? Think that was from 12/13 season. Still he's bound to be better than anything we have at the minute.

Ander heading to Manchester now. Has just been saying his goodbyes to Athletic players.
Ander, on Monday evening, personally called Athletic's President to inform him of his desire to leave.
Indeed. Man United did this one differently, already called Athletic of their intention to pay money to. Handled correctly.
United offered to pay €40m, what his clause rises to upon July 1. Thus, they avoid having to do the Bayern-Javi route.
He's always wanted to go since interest emerged. That night at OT in the Europa League had a pretty huge impact on...
many of Athletic's players. It's common knowledge amongst Basque journalists, this. Ander will be overjoyed it happens.
I think he's an outstanding player, really one of La Liga's last remaining underrated Spanish gems. Adaptation should be...
.pretty regular for him. His most underrated feature is tenacity, and aggression. Imagine this under LvG, very exciting.

Delboy5 · 24-06-2014 03:10PM

I saw on another united forum that the club is contacting people on the season ticket waiting list offering them the chance to buy a ticket with the line that they expect them to sell out next week due to new "siginings" arriving......

Probably just their standard sales pitch.........

Upset is a strong word, I'd say I'm about a 2/10 on the rustled jimmies scale about the whole thing.

I'd rather he just said he's looking forward to playing for his new club and kept the silly dig to himself. Especially when last week he was crying about Van Gaal not giving him a chance and bragging about his 14 motm performances for the u21's.

I know we haven't been properly linked with him but hes the best young midfielder England have produced in a long long time. He is absolute quality imo and very reminiscent of Rooney at this age. He'd be my dream signing this summer although there's no chance of it happening

I got a text message from them last night about buying STs. I've never been on the waiting list, haven't bought a ticket since the last time I was over in 2011 and have never gotten a text message from the club before. I'd say sales are not going well.

fuzzydunlop85 · 24-06-2014 03:17PM

Think we could do a lot worse than that Besic lad from Bosnia, could be got for under 10mill and would be a real addition to our midfield.

Vic Vinegar · 24-06-2014 03:28PM

I like that this Herrera deal has been done mostly under the radar, could it be that Woodward is actually learning from his mistakes? shock horror. Still got a way to go to convince most people but it's a good start. Makes you wonder who else we're getting on the QT!

QikBax · 24-06-2014 03:32PM

Myself and my cousin didn't renew the season tickets this season.

He's had 4 calls from the club and I've had none. So it's hard to know if they're scrambling to get sign ups or if the waiting list is having many people taking it up.

Yep, they obviously kept this extremely quiet on this side, due to no murmurings from Daniel Taylor, Mark Ogden, James Ducker or Andy Mitten who would be the only four I would say are reliable.

However this was obviously not the case on the Spanish side, not that it would matter if it leaked that late as the fee had been agreed and the player had obviously set his heart on the move.

No surprise that this method of conducting the transfers has been in place since the arrival of Van Gaal.

Still expect the Shaw deal to be wrapped up soon, possibly a couple of days after tonight's England game. Would also expect another two after that, especially after Holland are knocked out / win it

as going on previous form, Van Gaal likes to integrate a number of Dutch players into the side too - hopefully De Jong and Depay.

bullvine · 24-06-2014 03:40PM

With a bit of luck we can get the guts of 40-50m for Nani, Anderson, Cleverley, Buttner and Welbeck!

Not usually a fan of Graham Hunter, but this piece is fantastic and very insightful as to what went on last summer with Herrera.
