Hi all,
Thanks to the Eds as always.
Pedro's agent has stated that 'United fell asleep' over finalising a deal for the player. This is quite contrasting to that of some opinion which is that the player preferred the Chelsea move or the player turned down the chance etc. What this means is that we have learnt our lesson over the Di Maria signing and will try to meet other clubs at a lower fee for players in relation to our valuation. If another club cuts right in front of us because they are happy to throw money around then fine. LVG is not only improving is tactically but he is also re-instating our sole. I really do encourage all fans here to trust me when I say Pedro was never what we needed, no way. A decent CF should be our priority and that would leave us with a very successful summer to reflect upon. If DDG leaves on deadline day we will prob also go for a keeper.
LVG knows what he is doing, trust me, trust him.

Re-instating our sole, eh? So that's what the adidas deal was for.

Thanks for the reply imightbesomeone, and while we are on the subject, are you?! 😉
The Adidas deal I see as nothing more than a typical modern day feat, almost each and every professional body (sport or not) seeks sponsorship in one way or another.
I have read so many articles and comments over the past 24 months about how United have 'sold their sole' and 'lost their identity'. My honest opinion is the reason we didn't move fast enough over Pedro is because Januzaj turned LVGs head over past week and decided spending 22 mill wasn't necessary. I find this encouraging. Compared to most at the moment I am definately a 'my glass is half full' type of guy.
Look forward to your response.

Shouldn't that be a typical modern day feet? I just hope that Adidas can help us secure Scholl, then they're be no worries about our sole.

Good on you king giggsy. I agree I think januzai as well as mata, depay and young made lvg decide he didn't want the headache of choosing between them. Especially considering the fact Pedro was pretty average in barca last 4 games

Quick question old mate.

How can it be considered another club 'cutting infront of you, and throwing money around', if your club was willing to pay more, just not upfront?

If you're a 'glass half full kinda guy', your glass was originally empty. Just a thought.

Hi Melbourne, thanks for your reply and hope you are well my old mate indeed.
Good response, but I'm not sure a) we were offering more money and b) it is Pedro's agent that has spoken about the deal in the ways I mentioned. That info has come 'straight from the horses mouth'. United stalled on any possible deal because existing youth at the club gave encouraging signs, I think any team would be delighted with that if it meant a saving of £22 million on a risky signing.
Have a good weekend and hopefully you lot can muster a win this weekend 😉
