Where did they sign him, on a golf course ?
United announce Valencia deal
- Thread starter Gazza
- Start date
I'm excited by this signing.
On the face of it, it seems like we might be going back to our old ways of having pace and threat on the wings. We played a bit like that last season, asking Ronaldo to stay wide more, but his performances weren't really there (although his goals were). I'm also massively in favour of any squad addition that gives Rooney more of a chance of playing centrally.
As for the price, it should be kept in mind that United won't sign Premiership proven players on the cheap. Ever. Liverpool just spent more on a decent full back than we did on a winger, and in the current transfer climate I'd say we got a good deal.
The short answer to any doubts is that United have been watching this guy closely every single week for two years. Most of us haven't.

A man of few posts...Anderson Searl take note
I'd think in a 4-4-2 City would be Robinho-Barry-Ireland-SWP actually and I would consider that better than Nani-Carrick-Fletcher-Valencia.
We could play that away from home and be fine. If they play that lineup they'd most probably get overrun.
Carrington.
No they wouldn't. Barry and Ireland are both excellent defensively.
That is the bit that Im most excited by ... that SAF has seen some obvious magic in this chap and the potential to become world class. Cant wait to watch him develop into a class act.
ExactlyWho the feck is Ronaldo?
Viva Antonio viva Antonio

What do the muppets think? Is there an unusually high incidence of ***ping at the moment?
I think we should be told.

"***"?
I can see by quoting your post that you've done this by using VB language, so youi're cheating. Type it normally and it's edited.
Why is the word
not allowed when wank, feck, cnut, Liverpool etc are? Who is't that can inform me?
signing one in the bag. good work. still dont think there's a chance in hell he'll get the No. 7 shirt mind
***

i think it dates back to the Tevez thread, fap seemed to get way overused
as for PR i have no idea why that happens
"Undisclosed fees" ought to be banned.
he looks uncannily like nani..
think about this
nani and valencia on wings.
rafael and fabio as full back
the opposition will be lost completely. esp if these couples swap wings
Agreed but the reason it's done is to keep the media from making assessments and such on deals that aren't realistic.
End of the day there's probably alot of clauses in the deal, maybe all the money isn't upfront, maybe there's goal scoring and appearance clauses in there... in this day and age who knows, it's much like the Pique deal where we could make some sort of additional benefit off the deal.
i heard it was 6m up front, 6m next summer, and 5m based on appearences, goals and trophies etc..
Come again?
I'm not sure Hughes would ever put Robinho on the wing in a 4-4-2, seems like it'd be too much of a risk defensively, and it's probably why he rarely, if ever, played him there.
Oh yeah from where?
and knowing we've got £80 mill, I could really see whelan going for that. Wigan stated that its a club record, which would mean the money they were guaranteed to receive would have to be higher than the palacios deal. SSN reported it as £18 mill.I read somewhere something about the Pique deal (Which was undisclosed but leaked) that we could activate come clauses... it could be fiction for as much as I know but if someone could maybe follow up on or shun this it'd be appreciated.
Viva Valencia
First bit of good news all day. Should be the first of a few transfers this summer. Hopefully he'll be a cunning signing yet again by Ferguson.
I'm working on a song, it's a dead easy one at that.
Palacios was quoted to have cost £14m, which also probably was made up of some kind of combination between installments and clauses, so it could still be plausible.Oh yeah from where?
I saw my mate, the other day
He said to me, he'd seen the black MJ
So I asked, who is he
I just told you, that he's the black MJ.

Not necessarily true at all, they can say what they want. I'd be very surprised if we paying more than 8 or 10 up front.
