    Mirror reporting Hummels staying at Dortmund and Vidal and Di Maria are too expensive.

    Too expensive considering the implications of missing out on another champions league spot ? I think not. Unless of course the powers that be consider the squad as it stands is good enough, which I doubt. Lvg is no idiot. More signings are a necessity and inevitable.

    Just not having to watch Val/Young on the wings as first choice..

    not sure how accurate but on few twitter feeds at this stage

    He said then that he's staying at Bayern.

    Van Gaal told the same interviewer that he'll (LVG) be in Manchester on Wednesday.

    not sure how accurate but on few twitter feeds at this stage

    There's another quote from him saying he is happy at Bayern and doesn't want to leave.

    United Report ?@UtdReport 3m
    AS: Vidal's agent (@ffelicevich) has told La Tercera that his client is close to joining Manchester United.

    AS English @English_AS
    United abandon Di María chase and close in on Vidal http://as.com/diarioas/2014/07/12/english/1405201685_520002.html
    3:59 AM - 13 Jul 2014

    Not sure how signing a CM has impact on signing a winger unless we don't have enough money.

    Hopefully we sign Di Maria, we need a flying winger who is not afraid to take on a FB back at OT.

    I dont believe so called "quotes" until i see actual proof, way too many fakes quotes around t'internet.

    Brace yourself

    Dutch tv pundit saying of the current Dutch team,Depay and De Vrij are most likely to join LVG at United.

    Those 2 and Vidal by next week would be nice.

    Depay has a bright future ahead of him


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭Blatter


    I think the Vidal/agent report is a mistake.

    AS reference Chilean paper La Tercera as the source. I'm fairly sure that report makes no mention of Vidal's agent telling them anything.

    Reckon Depay talk will get little stronger in coming weeks.

    Of course DEpay might want something else.

    Robben was asked after the game whether Van Gaal was looking to bring him to United - said no, that he was happy at Bayern but Van Gaal told him there's always space for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I really get tired of posters quoting Twitter without checking the facts. First trace the twit to find its origin then ring the Vidal's agent to confirm and only then can you post the quote


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,929 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    Dutch football writer who seems to be pretty spot on
    Elko Born ‏@Elko_B
    Van Persie: 'We'll go on a short holiday, and then we'll come back for what I think will be a fantastic season'
    Elko Born ‏@Elko_B
    RVP, laughing, on potential Dutch signings: 'I'll admit that I know a little bit more than you sometimes, but I can't say anything!'

    Skybet have suspended betting on Vidal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    Skybet have suspended betting on Vidal.

    You must know by now that this means nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,274 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Skybet have suspended betting on Vidal.

    Still widely available. PP have it at 5/6. Other bookies as low as 1/6. Again means feck all in the grand scheme of things

    I know I should :p

    Official statement in a few hours according to mundo deportivo. Making reference to the chike newspaper though

    With the exception of Robben, none of that Dutch squad excite me greatly. Depay would be alright but I'd be hoping for much more than Depay in the next month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,843 ✭✭✭GSPfan


    Oh god i just realised theres 7 more weeks in this window. God help is all.

    Expect a defender at least i'd say. DeVrij being a good bet. The rest i'd pass on to be honest.

    What do ye think on us coming close to a title or winning. Ie. 5 points.

    I think we could win with Vidal and hummels?

    And a lb


    Only me?

    I think we'll need two first choice quality CBs to be honest, and if Hummels ends up being one those I'd be delighted (probably accompanied by a Dutch CB like Vlaar or De Vrij). That would be a lovely bit of business.

    I wouldn't want to be relying on Evans to stay fit all season but as backup he would be great, same goes for Jones and Smalling; if we end up seeing one of those playing first choice in a central position we'll be leaking goals.

    Daley Blind would be an exceptional signing though, he can cover for Shaw at LB, he can play slightly more advanced, he can play in midfield and he can do a job at CB too. He would be a player we would be able to utilise a great deal given our current talent resources.

    Then again, this is all fantacy bull****, but if our transfer window panned out similar to this, I think we would be in awesome condition and fully in contention for the title.
