Doesn't he write for AS? He was the first to report it, and has since been backed up by numerous of our journalists from the Guardian etc.Wasn't Ballague giving AS as his source?

I'm full of anxiety and anticipation for the up and coming sequel of Buy Hard 2 - should be released on 31th of January next year, just before midnight. Some Woodward bloke would be leading the cast.
How can this become any more farcial? I mean, physically?
why doesnt that suprise me?!Ballague was the first with impostors
Turns out Woodward's credit card wasn't cleared for bigger sums than 10 grand. By the time he got in touch with the Glazer's and got it fixed, the shit had really hit the fan, so to speak.What's this shite about everything being agreed but the money wasn't ready? How is that even possible? Did our cheque not clear in time? Was our overdraft not set up in time? Will we get a charge on our account for going over our spending limit?
Seems like either we've screwed up in leaving it up to people who don't have the authority to close a deal on our behalf or the lawyers we hired have fecked up in not finalising the transfer as we had asked them to.They apparently weren't carrying Herrera's power of attorney, nor the correct authority from us. Which is why they were sent away from Liga HQ. They then failed to get the documents.
Imposters and chancers hoping to make themselves indispensable and somehow ripoff United? A law firm invited to consult but then overstepping their brief? All I can tell you is they haven't shown up on any late night comedy shows so far.
Weird.
It sounds as if these imposters came alot closer to making a deal than we did all summer though. Good effort I say. Sign them up.
Did some caf muppets go rogue?

And the rest of the Spanish press.Mitten tweeted a deal was done too, it wasn't just Ballague.
So these guys were lawyers but it's been confirmed by us that they were not acting on our behalf.LONDON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera's proposed $47.5 million move to Manchester United turned out to be a hoax after three men attempting to broker the deal were labelled imposters, British media reported on Monday.
"Reports in Spain claim three men dressed in black suits and claiming to be United "representatives" spent an hour at the La Liga offices attempting to negotiate a deal. The move collapsed at the 11th hour," the BBC reported on the final day of the transfer window on Monday.
"Confirmation from Manchester United that three men who reportedly attempted to negotiate a deal to sign Ander Herrera were not acting on behalf of the Premier League champions and were... imposters," the BBC report added.
The Basque club last week rejected an offer which Spanish newspapers reported at $40 million from United for the 24-year-old Herrera, with the club's president Josu Urrutia adamant the Premier League side had to meet a $47.5 million buyout clause.
IF this turns out to be true, then there need to be consequenses.Tweet

The officials working for our club are fecking cnuts. Impostors my ass, just a way to save their face.
Money was already earmarked for a new Mall in FloridaWhat's this shite about everything being agreed but the money wasn't ready? How is that even possible? Did our cheque not clear in time? Was our overdraft not set up in time? Will we get a charge on our account for going over our spending limit?
The 6m euros that could have been saved by just paying Fellaini's release clause.If we didn't sign this guy cause of 6 million euros I will be fuming. Waiting for details to be released tomorrow as to exactly what the heck happened.

I did have that feeling at several points today, it was like a bad game of werewolf at times reading between the lines. I have Gaz down as the seer after his tweet on Deadline Day being a tell for management incompetence.Nothing is making sense. I'm sure various statements tomorrow will shed some light.
I can't make any sense out of this whatsoever.Tweet

This is probably the most embarassing part about it. We agreed every fecking thing in this transfer and then go back on our word and try to bring the price back down. Now also lying about the people being imposters. Disgraceful behavior by the club.
IndeedLooks like there's a lot of confusion as to what happened. No point speculating now. It'll become clear in the next few hours and days.
It's the Peter Kenyon school of transfers. Herrera can get together with Ronaldinho for a pint.Tweet

So many different stories that I doubt the facts will never be known. Feel sorry for the player though as he seemed to want the move. I can't see us going back to Bilbao in January either if even half of what's being said is true.Indeed
Im certain that most of the stories doing the rounds about this are absolute bollocks - doesnt seem like anyone has a clue about what actually went on
Where do you think a good chunk of that money you mention is going?So angry if all of this shit turns out to be true. Have we actually been too stingy? You see clubs like Spurs and even Arsenal spunking money up the wall and we won't fork out? The amount of cash coming from the new TV deals, the size of the club, the 'limitless' budget we supposedly had; I just despair.
The strange thing is if these guys were the ones spending a month or so sorting out the Javi Martínez deal, then surely As/Ballague/Bilbao/maybe even Herrera would have recognised them?Indeed

If this is true, Im shocked and fuming, this is not the way to conduct oneself in business, its the work of dirty scam men.This is probably the most embarassing part about it.

What about hired by United and it wasn't us who made up the imposter bollocks?The strange thing is if these guys were the ones spending a month or so sorting out the Javi Martínez deal, then surely As/Ballague/Bilbao/maybe even Herrera would have recognised them?
What's the story then?
Must be four.
- Hired by a third party to disrupt => then there should be consequences
- Chancers trying to get themselves involved in the deal => same
- Hired by Herrera to make things happen like they did with his pal Martínez => just fecking sign him to replace Woody then
- Hired by United and now we are trying to dissociate ourselves => consistent with how moronic we've been throughout the Summer
