Italian newspaper La Tercera reporting something related to a $55 million bid for Vidal from Man Utd. I don't know how reliable this is. Anyone read this? Or knows something about this? Eds. Any idea?

Thanks

Isn't that a paper from Chile?

Ya a lot of papers in ireland reporting vidal and di maria done deals exciting times

Apparently there is a report in the chilean newspaper. I think the deal includes Evra also.

When I said Italian, I meant the language. Sorry if you got confused.

I read a poorly translated version (I don't speak Spanish) and it appears that their source is the English press.

Angel Di Maria deal agreed for 47.7 million pounds and 150k per week

#VeryStrongRumours

I don't get it he is 50% more expensive than Sanchez yet 50% less effective!

I agree beast, even I would've preferred Sanchez.

The Ox one side and Sanchez on the other. That's what you call pace

It's a lot for sub for club and country.

Nails, he's not sub for club or country.

Do Maria was the best player in the champions league final plus naturally left footed what United need not another right winger! He's a starter for both club and country!

He was a starter for both, loads of assists at Real. A lot of money, apparently PSG in aswell. Would love to see a bid for Moura if they got di Maria, they have to balance the books some how and Moura down the right would be class. Dreams.

Beast, you have to think the Sanchez picks up injuries a lot, he also never stays at a club that long, couple years and he's off.
Do Maria is a quality player yes, however he does give the ball away ALOT

What about Reus now the move to Barca is off?

Hi Ed, reports are saying Di Maria has agreed a £150k a week deal with United and will sign officially after the World Cup, any truth in this? Or just more made up nonsense? Cheers, Mike :)

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any agreement, sorry.}

Mike

I wouldn't take any notice of the source Metro. they make up a cock and bull story every day about united.

That's not to say there isn't though?

This story seems to have developed from Spanish media. They have reported United have agreed terms. I'm fairly sceptical this is the case but aren't Marca effectively Madrid's media outlet?

150k is alright. But some reports are suggesting that Madrid are looking at 45mn GBP for him. That would be outrageous, IMHO.

Apparently we value him closer to £30 million, Madrid value him closer to £40 million. I think a happy ground around the £35 million mark will be reached soon. Then we will hopefully finally have a world class winger worthy to wear the number 7 shirt.

have moved odds today from 6/4 to 4/5 on that he signs, something must have gone on.

Odds 1/2 now looking very likely :)

I sure hope we make a quick phone call to Dortmund and offer them the same amount for Reus.
I doubt they would refuse that kind of money right away.
Might have them thinking.
I'd prefer Reus by far

Hey Ed, just wondering is/was Daley Blind an actual target or was it a case of 'Van Gaal is the new Man United so let's link every Dutch player to them'?
In my opinion, he would be a very good purchase as, with Evra leaving he'd provide good cover for Luke Shaw as well as playing in midfield alongside Herrea and, hopefully Vidal, in a midfield 3 which some people seem to be suggesting that is the type of formation Van Gaal will implement.

He also more than likely wouldn't cost as much as Ricardo Rodriguez who is being linked with Man United at the moment.

{Ed002's Note - A year or two back Liverpool took a look at Daley Blind but did not follow up. There was interest from Hannover 96 in January and Hamburg both in January and again recently. Chelsea spoke with Ajax about the player as an option for their left back problem and his agent would like to talk to Manchester United - but they have not made any approach yet - although they most probably will.}

Couple of places saying we have bid £7million for Enzo Perez, is that roughly what he's worth or is it just another load of pie in the sky?
