Eto'o has already agreed to sign for Everton tomorrow. Remy has that condition which is a risk.

And they can feck off from Welbeck.
Why not Welbeck, we could make them over pay massively for him, really don't think he's suddenly going to turn into a prolific striker.

Let's not call him "Ballbag" now. He's been a champ throughout all this. The guy was so chuffed with the breaking of the news, as if he was a United fan for a week.
we only gave him that name after he get posting Ronnie to RM rumours a year before it happened.

Man utd are clearly only telling journos if we want a player if are close to signing that particular player of interest.

This is the right thing to do it in order to avoid embarrassment. Woody is learning fast, I am beginning to really like him. He is not only a financial inept, but a very good CEO..

Putting 1+1 together from LVG's comments. Also, why is there doubts over his knee injury? They do know Vidal played brilliantly against AC Milan for 45minutes? That surely have convinced LVG and his medical staff(main reason why we are not getting Vidal as the medical staff know how serious the injury is and what further complications playing in the world cup would have been on his knee) to peruse Vidal.

However, I will only believe Di Marzio first.

Since when do Arsenal overpay massively for anyone ? And Welbeck will be very good as a starter in their team.

If they wanna swap for Ramsey then yeah.

That's almost as good as Di Maria signing. Or well, you know what I mean!

If they don't overpay they don't get him, has to be a £10 million + premium for selling to a direct rival.

I know its the kind of standard things players say bit i actually believe this, i always get the sense that Ronaldo would speak very highly about us.
I'm sure that Ronny put in a good word once he knew Di Maria was leaving. Meeting Fergie at the CL final also couldn't have hurt our cause.

Ballague has been spot on with Mata and now Di Maria. We should finally cut him some slack.

That's huge. Not the purported 2 weeks we were fearing. I assume he will play Burnley at this rate.

Poor Burnley, They'll have fit RVP, Rojo, Herrera and Di Maria all at one go. If all goes well that is.

I'm genuinely excited for Burnley now.

Playing a bit of football is hardly proof everthing is fine with his knee, certainly long term.

Mind you, by now we should know whether we're going for him despite the knee injury or not.

@duncancastles added to banned list in the OP
:lol: The tweets that got everyone riled up tonight were that he agreed terms with PSG but they couldn't sign him because of FFP..

Anything to back this up? Well how about l'equipe, Marca, and every news outlet in Europe. He was on his way to PSG but they couldn't afford him.. Why that has angered everyone so much I've no idea.

Playing brilliantly for 45 minutes whilst carrying a ticking time bomb is not the best proof. We had a player whose injuries were so sever modern medicine couldn't detect it, let alone heal it.

Banning tweets from actual journalists just because you don't like their opinions is really silly. Not all info they get can be accurate. Duncan Castles has gotten plenty of things right as well. The guy writes for Times after all. That Bruin guy shouldn't be banned either, obviously has sources within the club.

This almost certainly what will happen. We but Di Maria for £60m and they get him for Reus for £35m. I am not saying we should not have signed Di Maria or he is over priced, but £35m is a steal for Reus.

We seriously need to change to a 4-3-3 now to accommodate Di Maria and Januzaj in their best positions. Rotate Van Persie, Rooney and Mata for the AM/ST spots, I need to see those two bombing down the wings.

Thats not why he was banned.

He was banned for being an ABU cnut, but that seemed to be the tipping point, you're right. Even though he was essentially correct.

Either way, I dont think we should be blacklisting real journalists.

Brun transfer related shouldn't be. Just people were spamming his other nonsense in this thread.

There's an opportunity here for our dual needs to coalesce.

Vidal for £35m and Hernandez. I think that's solid business.
That'd put him at about £50m+... I know you have to pay for top quality but we really do get rinsed for the absolute maximum on every single transfer these days.
