You really think a club like United wouldn't do that without permission from Bilbao? Come on - surely you know better than that?What I'm saying is, we shouldn't be bringing players for medicals and having team photographs taken when they're not ours. It's still June, that stuff can be ironed out later. The transfer and making sure it goes through is all that matters. If this fails it's on Woodward.

Our official photographer, Norwood said he was.Is there any proof that he was over here? All I read was twitter shite
If Bilbao gave us permission they wouldn't be publicly rejecting us and taking the piss on twitter would they?You really think a club like United wouldn't do that without permission from Bilbao? Come on - surely you know better than that?
You're just looking to blame Woodward for something that may completely out of his hands - Bilbao are obviously the culprit here, if it fails its down to them.
Yes, I'd imagine this bid was actually rejected days ago, and they're only announcing it now to appease fans(that they fought to keep him) as the other path has been taken and they can do nothing about it.Presumably that's what United are doing now. Triggering the clause by depositing the money through lawyers to the Spanish Federation.
well either Mr Norwood is lying, or man united acted very stupidly.In fairness, Craig Norwood who works for the club said Herrera was at Carrington yesterday. Bigger question is why the club (Woodward) allowed that without permission from Bilbao and the transfer being air tight.
If we've done the groundwork, it's because we believe we won't be paying the tax (though we may pay heavy legal fees).Bids are no use. We either buy him out for 50 million euros through the league or forget it.
get a grip.Classic United. Really haven't a clue what they're doing in the transfer market. I can see this summer turning into a farce yet again.
Exactly. They're spiteful as feck due to their Basque only policy.The cnuts
What difference does it make to them.
Athletic are a rich club who don't want to sell their best players. They always go to extreme measure to keep their players.The cnuts

According to some articles, if the money goes through Herrera, it could be liable to income tax. Most likely, we will go the Bayern route and pass it on through lawyers to the Spanish authorities. If it goes that way, and perhaps if we provide some "grease" to the tax regulators, we will avoid taxes.Tweet

Calm down. It was probably expected and the club will now go the Bayern route.Classic United. Really haven't a clue what they're doing in the transfer market. I can see this summer turning into a farce yet again.
All right we got it, you want to blame the club and Woodward for all this..What I'm saying is, we shouldn't be bringing players for medicals and having team photographs taken when they're not ours. It's still June, that stuff can be ironed out later. The transfer and making sure it goes through is all that matters. If this fails it's on Woodward.
That fits with the tweet in post #8646Yes, I'd imagine this bid was actually rejected days ago, and they're only announcing it now to appease fans(that they fought to keep him) as the other path has been taken and they can do nothing about it.
well if we brought him to carrighton, it dosnt seem like they where expecting it.It will have been expected. We were just seeing if they were willing to save time/effort.
If it falls through why wouldn't you? Honestly I don't get this Pro-Woodward brigade on this forum.All right we got it, you want to blame the club and Woodward for all this..
We may be currently in technical breach of contract. Not because he's on holiday in Manchester, visiting the club he loves but because he's had a medical with us. Same thing happened with Bayern.How have we managed to bring the player to Carrington if a bid has been rejected?
It demonstrates to other clubs after their players that they won't take it lying down and will make it as awkward as they can. Sensible from them.The cnuts

This place is the newbs. They've been operating an open door policy for months now. As you've probably noticed. The caf has been a cluster-feck all summer.@Cina the newbs can't be any worse than this, can they?
They know it's happening. If anything all they are doing is delaying payment for themselvesAthletic are a rich club who don't want to sell their best players. They always go to extreme measure to keep their players.
They know we incur up to 15m tax charges and they are obviously using this to their advantage. We could pay them 10m more on top of the 36 offered and still be 5m better off if we don't force the deal through by activating the release clause.The cnuts

We aren't going to get the worlds best due to the calamity of Moyes and Woodward last season. We have to hope Herrera continues his progression, otherwise we'll be scratching around hoping for someone else half way decent.He isn't a £32m player. I know people are desperate for a better midfield and nobody more so than me. But £32m isn't far off what would be needed to secure the very best midfield talent in the world (In theory). Herrera isn't in that bracket from the games I've watched.
Rather then piss taking on twitter, I would imagine they would be calling their lawyers and we'd be in serious trouble if we didn't have permission...If Bilbao gave us permission they wouldn't be publicly rejecting us and taking the piss on twitter would they?
In what way is us paying tax beneficial to Bilbao?They know we incur up to 15m tax charges and they are obviously using this to their advantage. We could pay them 10m more on top of the 36 offered and still be 5m better off if we don't force the deal through by activating the release clause.
