    All this optimism is overwhelming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Very confident of another good signing but Di Maria would be terrific..

    Would be delighted with that.

    Nearly too good :)

    A limerick win on Sunday and the Kew will be brought down to earth ;)

    Betting means nothing, it just reflects what people are betting on not what is likely to happen.

    Someone needs to balance this out..

    It has been revealed that all signings during Ed Woodward's reign are null and void because in the part of the contract that says "Do not write below this line" Mr Woodward wrote "Okay".

    So we get our Fellaini money back?

    Someone's jumped the gun with regards Vidal and the small biog that comes up when you Google him :P

    This Vidal stuff is painful!

    It will drag on for a while yet and then we'll be told Utd never approached Juve about him.

    With the clubs talking over Evra, it should help matters.

    If Vidal moves to United the first order of business will have to be to get rid of that beard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭dor843088


    Juve want evra . Evra wants to leave for juve . We want vidal . Juve need to cash in on someone to balance their books . Were definitely in talks for vidal id say, just need to hammer it out. This deal benefits everyone.

    Cash + Vidal for Evra and everyone can go home happy I say.

    It's photoshop. Pogba will not be moving to united. Very unlikely he will leave juve thus this year
    Vidal is a different story. I think if united put in the right bid, we will get him. That's not saying we will put up the right money. Juve thus will prob hold out for 50million.
    Don't rule out out Di Maria. VG will want someone with pace and can go past a player, to stretch teams out. I think it could happen, but we won't overpay for him.
    Hummels forget about it. No chance.

    My opinion is that we will get vidal. 50/50 on Di Maria. As for the defence, I think we will go for vermealen or vlaar. Wouldn't be surprised if we got Daley blind. He can cover LB and CM and can function on the wing.

    Great. But don't be shocked if one versatile defender is brought in and that's it.
    Bring in strootman in January

    You don't change king Arturo. He changes you.

    Realistically you'd have to think there's not much chance of it actually happening, silly season stuff imo. Would love to be wrong though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,267 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    The Evra transfer has probably not being announced yet as United are still haggling over how much to pay to Juve to secure the signing of Vidal. No harm in being optimistic.

    Yes, Pogba posted that picture on twitter. Then someone photoshopped in a man utd clock.

    Jesus, Vidal and Di Maria would be an amazing pair of signings...

    I'd settle for the first two, to be honest.

    Yeah, The Heat will really miss him, but it has to mean something like Ronaldo is coming back home to United... We have to sign Di Maria to keep him happy.
    Fabregas got lost when he returned to London...

    The first guy is worse than Ashley Young with crosses though.

    Keane will never allow their (his?) best defender go to United, he just won't. I don't believe we need Di Maria, another attacker. We need a defensive/holding midfielder, whoever that may be......oh, and a sh*t load of defenders.

    Vlaar aside, you think an assistant manager with foot barely in the door is going to have that much influence on signings? I don't.

    Chelsea looking for Khedira,that means the end to the Pogba rumours and leaves us in the clear for Vidal as a result.
