Catalunya Ràdio (highly reliable) confirms that at the moment Man United are NOT in talks with Barcrlona over a deal to sign Pedro Rodriguez
Catalunya Ràdio also confirms that Pedro wants to leave Barcelona & the club is aware of it but will sell 'only' if release clause is met.
Nope, not at all.In hindsight he may have wished he didn't.
This is the transfer tweets thread, after all. Doesn't say anything about not being able to post Hibernian tweets. I thought there maybe some Hibernian fans around wanting some news.

I don't think we'll sign. Seemed too convenient that Woodward fed the press with the info which I can't ever remember him doing on another signing.
Well, he didn't really.
Most information about Pedro to United came from Spanish press.
It didn't initially. The first reports of our interest came from all the journos out in America with the club.
Darmian is an upgrade on Valencia, Shaw played less than half of our games last season, Rojo is in his second season, Jones and Smalling are more experienced and this is important since last season was their first without Vidic or Rio, Schneiderlin will offer more protection to the defence, when Carrick gets injured we have Schweinsteiger (no Rooney or Herrera as the 6), the team will be better at keeping the ball putting less pressure on the defence, a good attack will also take pressure off the defence by helping us get more leads to protect earlier.
And also as you mentioned the ridiculous injury crisis that plagued part of last season likely won't repeat itself. We should expect the defence to perform considerably better than last season, I'd sooner add Pedro and after that (assuming the loss of Angel di Maria) only a world class talent if he becomes available, seems like the manager intends on doing exactly that.

"A top team needs two top players in every position", he keeps saying that here.
Very good point man, but would you not prefer to have the same quality of player at CB as we have in CM though?
If we had that - we'd be odds on for the title & one of the favourites for the Champions League imo..
It's unfair to judge our current centre backs under previous circumstances. However, with the CM additions we've made, we'll be able to get a proper understanding of how good our CB's are. They're all either young or very young, which means they have plenty of time to develop into better players.

He is a good reader of the game, intercepts, tackles well enough, passer of the ball. Not too short( 5'11" I think?) Has decent pace. he isn't built like zouma. I don't want him at CB but it's not at all horrible. Plus if we play with schweini/carrick and Schneiderlin that means it's easier for CBs to defend.
Twitter sure is slow today
He doesn't have decent pace at all. His reading of the game might enable him to get away with at times but he's really slow.
hopefully that ends the La Finca thing here @carvajal . I really can't stand such a scenario
Take the non-tweet related chat to another thread.
Please keeps the discussions here tweet related.
That's really not true. He may not have the pace of Kyle walker or raheem sterling or so but he isn't slower than carrick, mertasacker,Evans, Cahill and many other CBs. All of them live on positioning

Maybe he bought it as a investment but he is too good to stay in Dortmund.We are not even in August @darioterios ,many things can happen yet.If United sells Di María would have a lot of money to spend,although the other clubs are aware of this and probably you will pay too much for the new signings.Karim could go to Arsenal...
What a shit tweet.
A reminder to anyone considering posting a long wall of text. Don't do it.

Isn't that his Spurs signing on pic?
Fantastic tweet. Respected and connected journo effectively ending this once and for all.
What is it based on?? Also, thumbs up for tweets.
Calls for LVG to be sacked from the replies to that tweet because he doesn't want to sign a defender for €50m who has had just one good season in their career.
He's not a good tackler for a CB, he sticks his foot in, in the box, he's also slow, weak and short for a CB for the PL, he'll get eaten alive no matter who our midfield is. .
He's traveling with the club so I'm guessing he has heard something. Who knows.

They said we were close to landing him last week.
Has his release clause been raised, or is that BS? I thought it was £30m?
Nope, it's always been €150m. He apparently has an agreement with Barca that he can leave for €30m.
Not interested in Pedro, any more.
PSG ridiculous bid for di Maria.
di Maria staying?

They just reported that Woody wanted to tie things up with Pedro before approaching Barca
They made two stories out of one

Van Gaal definitely said at the start of the tour he was hoping to bring in a couple more players. Surely that wasn't just Romero and Ramos.
I'm pretty confident there'll be another opportunist signing or two before the transfer deadline. Reckon we'll get another surprise.
We need to get to that point of the window when agents get desperate and start shopping their clients around, kind of like Falcao last season.
Given his recent comments about needing a creative game changer in attack I imagine he was talking about Ramos and a forward, now it looks like Ramos is not happening so it'll just be(hopefully) a forward.
