Ander Herrera is a Manchester United Player!

I think he mentioned a down payment had been made.
Because Basque club, Bilbao doesn't sell their stars, that's their club's policy. They ain't Arsenal so unless Herrera goes full retard like Llorente did, the only option left is to pay the buy-out/release clause. I don't see what's the problem here, we secured De Gea' deal pretty fast, didn't we? But this isn't the same case.
Yes but the down payment was only to secure first option on his signing or something along those lines. I remember him emphasising at the time that he wasn't saying we would sign Falcao, just that we were interested.
This is not poor, or embarrassing. Bloody hell, it was only announced a couple of days ago that we were going to sign him. These things take time, especially with buyout clauses and legal issues being involved. This will be done by the end of the weekend, probably sooner, which is quicker then the Mata transfer and quicker than Diego Costa's move to Chelsea. Its happening, don't panic.
Imagine if he indeed turns out to be our Vidal and Vidal turns out to be also our Vidal.
Can somebody please summarize what's holding up the deal?
Thanks!
Thanks!
He never said it was a done deal, he said we made a down payment with a view to sign him.
People get embarressed way to easily.
lol, where have you been?
Now Old James Ducker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heal
Get out the way, Old James Ducker
Your're too late to get your supper

Get out the way, Old James Ducker
Your're too late to get your supper

Why don't Glazer's just force a buddy bank to loan the money to Hererra through a shell company in a non-tax jurisdiction. Then United "invests" 37mn EUR in that company which is eventually written off as diminution in investments?
In a word. Our initial bid was rejected.
They reported 28 in the start didn't they? Or is it 28 mill pounds and 36 euros?
And why was it rejected, homie?
Have to say - Bilbao have done a great job in turning other clubs off their players, mission accomplished for them i'd imagine.
I'm just saying that it makes for a depressingly predictable headline. I'm traumatised, okay?
Stop being lazy. Go back a few pages. It's been explained a thousand times over and over and over.
And over and over yet again
Wouldn't say that. It's June and we're about to complete the deal. They've dragged it out maybe one or two days in the end. Not that bad.
Something to do with Bilbao being reluctant to give the go ahead to sell an home grown Basque player.

Time to bring in the Three amigos ...again ?
Get in!
I agree with you: he never said United were going to sign him.
He is coming. Sam has just told me.
Sam who?
Brilliant
Sources who have been reliable from the start of this, and actually broke the news of the deal even taking place, have said that the money has been lodged and the only hold up is legal/paperwork issues. So it does look like the contract breaching has taken place.
Alright, I will read them when I am on the potty.
Ohh thanks! It's a buyout clause, isn't it? This cannot happen.
Don't understand why Bilbao needed to be such tight cnuts about this whole deal. If they played it well and accepted the money directly from United they could have sneaked in a friendly to open the new stadium for them.
Well we don't know the ins and outs of the deal - whether we've had to pay more than what we planned, and above all the deal is still NOT confirmed yet.
Different club too to be fair....
They want to be seen as strong and they are odd.
But this shit must sour any club wanting to buy a Bilbao player in the future.
This lad will be immense if he can add a few more goals to his game.
I guess that's what they want, with their Basque player policy and everything.
Which exactly what they want.
€36 million. I think that's 28 or 29 million pounds.

Depressing predictable headline?
"Manchester United sign Spanish midfielder after relatively straight forward legal wrangle"
Depressing. And predictable.
