If that was true, we wouldn't be pissing about for days on end with Vidal, Di Maria and Hummels etc.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

So that's where the other £2m went.
:boner:
Can you tell?
It said Vidal is open to join United and they have taken his quotes as a come and get me plea. Juventus don't wanna sell and won't be easy they say but can be tempted with a 50 million euro offer.
Well, that's the round up i read basically.
So in other words, he lost his place due to that sending off and ban. Not because Chelsea signed him
There were 12 matches after he was sent off and before his signing, he was banned for 10 and simply didnt start the last 2. He came off the bench in 1
Have they actually said that though or are @UtdReport spouting shite as they always do?
Ahh, thanks Adnan
Vidal is on holidays most players prefer to make decisions when they return same can be said about Hummels and Di Maria.
I don't think it is true.
But even if we can spend money, we won't throw it around like crazy and deals take time plus the WC was there. Suarez to Barca or Bale to Madrid even.
Tancredi is getting backed up by David Amoyal

They better hurry up then if they have 200million.
Think that's sarcasm.
It's real, but it's just based on yesterdays article that was doing the rounds
Highly doubt we'll spend 200M. 150 at most
What is an Amoyal and how is he of any relevance?
No mention of this on their website.
Amoyal is a up and coming Journo who translates Di Marzio articles to English.
Aye he was out for 10 games because of his ban. He featured as soon as he came back in January against Lille but didn't after for however long as he was dropped from the squad for the Bordeaux game because of the Chelsea speculation and the move was official pretty soon after.
He could have started 2 games between the bans end and the transfer confirmation. He came on as a sub once.
The CB pairing that was formed in his absence outperformed him
Off course he didn't play after the ban, the defense was good, there was no point in changing the defense.
Still won a European Cup in his 1st season. Hardly a failure.
How long before he is working for Sporting Witness? And why is Di Marzio so great? It's a disgrace that people like Rylan off the X Factor get abused but Di Marzio and Amoyal are held in such high regard.
What a funny gif in the twitter thread.Hey, Juve?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
You know Utd's interest won't be out of the blue, Vidal, Di Maria etc will of knows about our interest for ages, as well as their agents. I'm sure all the players will know if they want to join or not and what wages they want etc, the agents will already know and the agents will be sorting it.
Its more chance of us pissing about as we do every time we are in for top, top players (players from abroad anyway).
Tancredi saying that has made me pessimistic about this Vidal deal.
The thing that gives me comfort now is that we can spend big in the event of a season like last. The worry 5-6 years ago was always that if Fergie left or we just had a terrible season we didn't have the budget to go out and spend £100m net in one Summer to get us competing again. It could have easily been a downward spiral (in my opinion), where we couldn't spend big as we didn't have the Champions League income coming in and because we couldn't spend big we couldn't get back into the Champions League.
Nowadays Champions League or otherwise we can spend big in order to compete. Obviously the perfect scenario for the Glazer's would be 2nd-4th (no bonuses) every season and a manager that promoted youth and rarely spent big. We would still be attractive commercially and would still have CL revenue coming through, whilst not spending a lot - allowing them huge dividends. However nowadays you can't guarantee 4th on a shoestring budget, as Arsenal are finding out and because our business model requires CL Football I can see a budget of £50-60m a season comfortably (with cash in the bank if the right player became available).
With our current owners we will never be a Real Madrid, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However I think we are finally at a point where we will be able to blow other Premier League clubs (Chelsea/City included) out of the water, particularly in terms of salaries. If we stick to our current M.O. of 50% wages-turnover I predict a £250-260m wage bill in 2-3 years. Last year it was £180m so in real world terms that would allow us to sign around 7 extra player's on 200k a week.
To put it simply: our financial inertia will allow us to comfortably compete for top player's, if we want to.
Di Marzio is one of the most respected Journalists in Europe for football news
who?
If he was called Bob Carolgees he wouldnt be. You young football hipsters just love these fancy foreign journalists . I don't believe anything unless Bob Cass tweets it.
I'm only pulling your'e leg mate
So nothing new then...
I think he's on about Hazard who won the Europa League in his first season, thus explaining his use of 'a European Cup', instead of 'the European Cup'.

Manchester United and Vidal have agreement on principles. Waiting for official bid RT @imy_286 whats the status with mufc and vidal #AskTanc

Would be hilarious if Tancredi breaks it.
When you think about the players we're linked with, there's not too many we could buy with £140m. Prices have gone through the roof.
A CB, a CM, a Winger, a back-up LB & maybe a right back also, are a must though, but its gonna cost us a shitload...
Hummels - £40m bracket now.
Mangala - £35m+.
De Vrij - £10m+.
Vlar - £10m+.
Rodriguez (LB) - £20m.
Blind - £10m+.
Vidal - £40m+.
Di Maria - £40m+.
Reus - £40m+.
Carvalho - £37m.
Kuyt - £100m
That is true, would be completely crazy otherwise.
Not that its not reaching that point already, 80m + fees for bale and ronaldo.
