Gab Marcotti spoke about this on ESPN Press Pass - seems a very shadowy matter where a contract with Mancini was found by the Russian FA signed in a safe, which runs past the 2018 World Cup (in Russia) but the guy who signed it on behalf of the Russian FA has been sacked and is refusing to shed any light on this. But apparently the contract does exist (and has been seen by Russian government ministers) but nobody seems to know anything about it

Typical Italian

 

[Sassy Colin]

He's just signed a 5 year contract...

From The Times' lot:

The boy @TonyBarretTimes says Carroll on way out. It's a mistake. Though a senior member of club told me: 'The English shit are finished'

I mean selling a player who is growing into a threat is a mistake. Especially at huge loss. Initial price a mistake, too

OK. If you support LFC and don't know @TonyBarretTimes is so far and away the best on the subject, just go follow someone else. FACT

Alternatively he might be heading out on loan, but only if he doesn't impress in the summer;

Brendan Rodgers suggests Andy Carroll could go out on loan if he fails to establish himself via @Telegraph

 

[Decotron]

The Andy Carroll links are very funny.....they are being linked with Sturridge now as well...

 

[Baxter]

Apparently Liverpool had Clint Dempsey listed as a player on their website. Taken it off now.

Apparently Liverpool had Clint Dempsey listed as a player on their website. Taken it off now.

Didn't someone 'hack' United's official website a few years back and make a bunch of fake player profiles. I remember they made one for Tevez before he even signed.

Then again, if it was hacked, you'd think they'd be more creative and ambitious then Clint Dempsey

 

[SharkyMcShark]

That wasn't a hack Wittman, apparently the IT people behind the website create an empty player profile page for every transfer target the papers link us to.

There were ones for Ozil, Sniejder, Veloso etc.

 

[RDCR07]

Any word on Twitter about who we put in a bid for or are we done?

 

[Hans Moleman]

The Dembele offer was rubbished in some quarters (by journalists). Moutinho and Baines still seem like the most likely ones being true, but nobody knows for sure.

Everton want Reto Ziegler as a replacement for Leighton Baines, and also hope to secure the seaon-long loan of Federico Macheda. #EFC #MUFC

Baines 12m + Macheda on loan, sounds a fair deal tbh.

 

[Levo]

Knock 2 mill off.

 

[stubie]

Knock 2 mill off.

£12m sounds about fair for a decent Premier League full back

 

[RDCR07]

£12m sounds about fair for a decent Premier League full back

I thought £4m of add ons was included?

 

[Relevated]

are these quotes legit?

Manchester Utd News ‏@Mufc_Info

"Manchester United are one of the best teams in the world , Liverpool ? Are they still in the first league ? " - Lucas Moura.

 

[Drainy]

Hilarious, but I doubt it

 

[wr8_utd]

Cynegeticus

Both Lucas Moura and Hulk denied today having any knowledge of negotiations, they said they're focusing on the national team. #CFC #MUFC

 

[wr8_utd]

@portugoaldotnet
Nuno Gomes tells Lancashire Telegraph he had an offer from Everton, spoke to MLS team but was convinced by Blackburn's project.

 

[Relevated]

Guys chatting from his arse. Its clear they offered him more chicken wings.

 

[lysglimt]

Knock 2 mill off.

My thought exactly - £10 mill + Macheda on-loan and I would say Baines is well worth it

 

[Hans Moleman]

GuardianJamieJ
Still has been no bid or contact from #mufc for Leighton Baines, I am told...

Still reckon Baines and Lucas are being used as cover for deals elsewhere.

Steve Bateman ‏@steviebateman
Can confirm that #THFC's talks with Moutinho are now "at an advanced stage" and both sides are optimistic of a deal being struck.

He wants to join his mate AVB....simple

So United were never interested in him it seems. Whoever said that he was being used as a smokescreen seems to be right. I wonder who United's actual target is?

We dont have one

That is depressing.

No one

 

[Hans Moleman]

feck me, if we miss out on Modric and Moutinho in the same summer I am going to end myself

Perspective please.

We don't have one, so I think noone.

Or, this had nothing to do with United, but with Porto using us to hike the price.

Didn't knew we had three more ITK's in this place.

 

[dev1l]

Most probably..yes

 

[Godfather]

If Tottenham end up getting him I'd say this would be the most plausible explanation.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Meh. All the rumours about Powell in discussions with Arsenal a week before we officially signed him, despite SAF stating in a press conference "we agreed the deal before their playoff final". So really all these rumours should mean jack shit to us. The "sources close to United" is bull most of the time anyways.

 

[adam118]

If Tottenham end up getting him I'd say this would be the most plausible explanation.

A media source did say that we had no interest the other day, think it was someone from the Times. Bob Cass said we were. Bob again talking out of his C'Ass.

Ya, them lads at the Times know everything aswell.....

To be honest, we are run like a business. Things change daily. Reporters relay on friends of a mate or people under the likes of Gill and SAF. I take what they say with a pinch of salt. If anything it is the opposing team the tends to blurp out shit for their own gains.

 

[Antisocial]

This has been my thinking of a week or so now (there is a post somewhere to prove this was my position, but I've written too much crap here to go through and find it )

 

[Nate Dogg]

Another one bites the dust... Who is next?

@Football_Juice: Breaking News: Reports in Brazil suggest Lucas Moura will turn down £20m offer from Man United to join Inter Milan. #MUFC
