Yeah.. Dortmund selling their most prestigious player, who signed a long term contract a couple of months ago and very explicitly spoke about his long term plan with the club.
Five. Minutes. Before. The. Window. Closed.


It's definitely on!

I heard he's joining Liverpool anyway. He's always dreamed to play with the likes of Joey Allen and Danny Ings.

Our fan's desperation to see a big name signed is absurd. Go play fm ffs.
Oh, shut up!

A fecking winger is what we need in any case. I don't think it's a secret after all the talk we had about the absurdity of playing Mata on the right flank.

Safe to say Miguel Delaney is a bullshitter now. Never understood why people here called him reliable in the first place, nothing he has said over the last two years has turned out to be true really. There is absolutely no way that Dortmund offered Reus on deadline day for 60m pounds to us, and we turned it down. Considering Woodward's desire for marquee signings, and wanting to make a splash on deadline day (going by last summer), there is no way we'd turn this down.

Erm, no?

Reus doesn't play on the right flank regardless. He's a second striker or left forward. Either way, what we want and what we can get are two different things.

Reus has started mostly on the right for Dortmund this season. I don't think he's limited to one or two positions and he roams a lot anyway.

Ah, alright. I don't think he's on the market, though?

Honigstein said, if Dortmund discussed anything regarding Reus, it was to move the Januzaj deal along (added jokingly or to troll United). He was never available, but Honigstein also said Bayern Munich would have sold Goetze for the Martial money.

Of course not, it's attention seeking from desperate journalists.
Buy yeah Reus plays on the right and has played there a lot for Gladbach as well before he moved to Dortmund, he basically can play every attacking position.

He also played as a striker against Odds in the 7-2, when he scored a hattrick.

Honigstein also enjoys long walks on the beach and pretending he has insider knowledge when he obviously has not.

As much as I would like to see the muppet fest I very much doubt that he is available.
Is what I thought. He's a great player. Needs to get over his injury issues and have a couple of mega seasons now.

We would've sold him for the money. But given the shitload of cash United seems to be throwing around these days, now we should maybe demand 100% more. Shit, they maybe would've paid 30m € for Schweinsteiger, we got screwed over :lol:

Twitter caught this bug apparently. It was all over twitter according to my mate that we were put off by the £60m price tag. I just hope to god that's not true given what we paid for Martial.

Important to remember we've only shelled out £22m for Martial thus far.

Well, 36m are guaranteed (depending on the euro-pound exchangeit can be slightly less or more). It is a 50m euro deal, just that 20m will be payed in the next 4 years, but still, it is guaranteed money for Monaco.

We weren't in for Reus. No one knew who we were in for and they saw where Adnan went to and then lied.

Him and Pogba sign for Barca or Real next year, if they have spectacular seasons.

Those two don't mess around.

The german is so fake, I don't even want to comment on it :D Its just Google translate or worse. Sportstotal is a German Agency ffs, who shall believe this? And who is the clown posting this?
You think someone planning a joke like this would get some one who actually can speak the language in on the act.

"Vincent Rodriguez" is a United fan who changed their twitter handle from TheTerraceNews. Some older tweets with his old handle tagged:

So... the "german" stuff he posted "retranslated" into english is quite brilliant:

"Can we demand your service in these coming days is Marco Reus object of a transmission on Manchester United. In advanced talks the teams will connection to the business and our clients is happy with the employees talk about reference with Ed woodward and the head coach LvG.

We must to search at the award in the vicinity and also a FIFA registered lawyer, to help with legal aspects, we understand you in England currently are, "pleasae" [sic] call us to confirm.

Thanks"



Sounds like a man ITK to me. I love the tweet in which he claims posting this would "prove his status". Status as a gibbering git.

Don't think I believe it but I would like to have thought we would have at least asked about him. If it is true then it is pretty disappointing that we didn't just pay the money. Considering we seem willing to buy Bale for a lot more and Reus is the better player of the two.

Come on mate, you're going to believe baseless Internet gossip and some laughable screenshots of confidential emails? This is IndyKaila territory, LOL!

IF, and bear in mind there are a lot of ifs here, we were in for Reus but bulked at the fee, the quoted fee must've been ridiculous.

The funny/sad/unfortunate part of it, whichever way you look, will be that it is totally possible that some English journalist will be publishing 'exclusive' story on this. Nowadays I won't even be surprised if Ogden and likes do it too, not only journalists of Metro and Star.

I am bad in German but even I can see that is not a proper German. It sounds like those German lectures when you just start learning it: Ich habe Kasebrote gegessen, I habe eine Kassette in eine Kassetterekorder aufgenommen. (My German isn't much better than that. :D)
