Bids are a formality. In fact, they aren’t really ‘bids’ at all. They are just written offers of whatever has been negotiated/agreed.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Think hard about that and try again
Don't get me started on East Croft.
This is not football manager where you keeping putting bids in and wait for one of them to be accepted.
If they are “negotiating” then why would you put a “bid” in? They are obviously negotiating what price they can do a deal at. They aren’t negotiating what to have for dinner. Once their negotiations lead to a positive agreement, then a formal bid will be placed.
Oooooh yeh they're even worse....
Scott actually played in midfield for once for Scotland and got absolutely destroyed by Republic of Irelands Championship midfield. I'm not sure what Fred actually does.
Harry Maguire looks like he should go off to MLS and save himself some dignity of been embarrassed every game.
Barca: “We want this amount”
Utd: “We are prepared to pay this amount”
Barca: “That is not enough”
Where do they go from there?
We could split up the amount in various ways in the same way you could order a pizza and ask for it to be cut up in ten slices instead of eight but the size of the pizza remains the same.
It will all come down to a bid and if Barca are happy with the amount a deal will be done and until that happens it is not worth reading about.
Shrager waiting to burst into this thread and pour cold water on this like Aragorn in The Two Towers.
Harsh leaving out West Croft... My favourite's Lara.
Barca : cute spanish girl that lives near a beach with a sunny personality but doesnt love you anymore, also living on a paycheck. Likes Santana but doesnt know Phil Collins
ManUnited : average british girl whose house always gets flooded during heavy rain but has a loadsamoney from inheritance and loves you, knows Phil Collins from her granddad
I'd take option 2.

Bid....Agreement
It is the same thing and as I have stated before if we ask Barca what their minimum amount is and we are not prepared to pay it then we move on.
Does that make sense?
FDJ first interview on MUTV
Go and take a long walk on a short Pier!Think hard about that and try again
I'll take that as a yes.
In some corners of the business world, the 69 is called a win-win solution.
Laura Croft is better though....for a retro wank!
In case anyone who doesn't have memories that last beyond 12 months, there will always be a final sting in the tail to this saga.
Just when we think it is about to close; there will be someone who will tweet that some other BIg club is coming in with a massive offer that blows United's proposal out of the water or some last-minute disagreement on the contract that will jeopardise the entire transfer.
It happens transfer cycle.
term sheets.
If 69m pounds is the total fees including add ons (assuming add ons are individual and team performance related) of which 55m is upfront…. I say it’s a cracking deal for someone of his quality….
Heck even Philips who I regard as being a very average player will cost city 52m in total!!

Series of arrivals, will believe it when I see it or a reliable Utd journo says something similar
Because you find it hard to believe that more arrivals are planned after De Jong?
Yeah because think we need to sell players for that to happen
yeah but that just means we'd be giving ourselves many more years to be disappointed by MUFC
Relax dudes. This is done. There’s no feckin way we’d go this far only to get knocked back by the player on personal terms. Lovely signing.
I think it’s a strange interpretation of ‘120-150m plus anything from sales’ to equate to no more players after De Jong. Sounds pessimistic for the sake of it to me. It is obvious that we will try to sign more players after De Jong.

there will be one last final sting in the tail to this transfer deal.
I'd prefer to see Alejandro Garnacho and McNeil given a chance. From what I saw of the youth team, these are the two attackers who excited me most
It might help if the club didn't seem to concentrate on just one at a time!
Ronaldo is not a centre forward in my opinion and I just don't see him scoring 20 league goals

Yeah this is done
Nice, they are ready.
Sounds like today might be another day in paradise
So two months of negotiations so we could lower the price by 5m? Sweet
Finally. The negotiation team that Richard sent to Barcelona worked. I am glad he will be included in the pre-season tour.
Sounds like it will be spread out. I know most deals are done in this way but could be what they were negotiating for this long, the exact structure of it all.
