Have got to pass this on, the best man at my wedding (1985 ) has a sister who married an Italian business man years ago. Turns out he has been working for the people who arrange Juventus financial deals. He has told my best mans sister that the deal for Vidal is 95% done & will have to be completed by August 5th( don't know why ) He said the fee is approx 45million euros which is about £34million. They have tried to get other clubs involved in an auction but city, PSG, Barca, Monaco, Madrid have all got to watch for financial fair play. My best man, his sister & all the family are massive Reds so have no reason to lie. Don't shoot the messenger but this is what I was told tonight, Christ I hope he is right.

{Ed007's Note - Now that's a good old-fashioned rumour!}

Im hoping your on the ball with this midelton red. If we get vidal then we will have an awesome midfield that has not been in place since Keane & Scholes.
The major benefit of having a powerful midfield will be that the defence inc DDG will have time on the ball. and we will gain lots of confidence
Agree0

If it happens and a few more deals get tied there is that aura of confidence before the season has began, good times ahead I feel, obviously liverpool, chelsea and city have all strenthened, I'm hoping liverpool do a spurs like last season, but the same could be said about us, takes time to gel, time will tell. having Brand new defence will take tilme for DDG to bond with aswell

Yes a proper rumour and not just someone repeating twitter, I like this rumour middleton!! its on like donkey kong

. all sounds very plausible until u mention Barcelona, why would they be worried about financial fair play, 2nd biggest turnover in the world last season, why would spending 46 million euro's on a player worry them. nice story, but 2 b a good liar your facts have 2 b believable. rumbled. Tonguer10

{Ed002's Note - No.}
Hes class but he's not what what we need elroy

Madrid have no reason to sell him
Agree0

Isco is going to be one of the best players on the planet. Him and Neymar . They are not going to sell him
Agree0

Where is Isco going to play? He now has Ronaldo, Bale and Rodriguez in his positions they also have Jesse, who their fans love. Kroos plays mainly as a 10 too.

We have made that imminent Vidal bid the editor was talking about apparently.
Believable27
Unbelievable25
And Ed Woodward has left the tour supposedly
Agree0
Disagree0
Lets hope its true syd
Agree0
Disagree0
Any idea how much we have offered Syd?
Agree0
Disagree0
Yes I have heard this from others as well so i'm hoping it is true. I think Juve have already decided to accept the bid.
Vidal, Hummels and a fast winger please!
Agree0
Disagree0
For the chief executive to come out and say what he did on the club TV channel, he must have something big up his sleeve.
Vidal, and dare I say, Hummels, would be something else.
Agree1
Disagree0
No idea mate, but matey reckons it's what Juve will want after weeks of negotiation. With the Ev deal being agreed today, I guess it was just a formality that the bid will go in and it will go through. That's his opinion though.
Agree0
Disagree0
I think Samthred has a point. Even if Ed Wdwrd means everything he said, its still risky to go on air and make such a bold statement. A bit of bad luck in negotiations and he might be sticking his neck out a little there.
He is a smart man however. You get the feeling he must know a few big names are on the way.
Agree0
Disagree1
I hope something happens but this also happened last year when he left the your early and yet solved nothing
Agree0
Disagree0
Last year was a serious learning curve for our Ed. I am sure he will deliver this time around.
Agree0

Syd, who is matey? Do you mean the guy?

Just a journalist TQ. I was in your neck of the woods on Saturday. Took the kids to Rainbow funhouse and went on the big wheel.

Oh yeh, where are you from then syd? I'm actually looking to move back to Manchester. Get back to city life

I was told the bid went in on friday and he would be united player by the end of this week. Let's see how it goes.

Evra to Juve confirmed, undisclosed fee so no Evra + cash deal for Vidal, still hopeful we will sign him though, seems to be just a matter of offering enough for him.

Player plus cash deals are rare.Clubs don't like it for obvious reasons.
Agree0
Disagree0
So the reported fee is £1.2m, surely he is worth more than that? or are we just trying to sweeten Juve up a bit for the Vidal deal?
Agree0
Disagree1
His legs are gone, he's on a big salary & Juve can sign him up on a free in 6 months - I'd say £1.2 is reasonable enough. Presumably this means we're pretty confident of signing someone who can cover LB (Vermaelen/Blind/?).
Agree0
Disagree0
I would imagine that the fee is undisclosed for a reason. My personal theory is that the fee they have paid is high for Evra so that Juventus can announce the fee for Vidal as a larger figure to appease Juve fans. I think the Evra deal is just the start of signings going either way. I still think that Nani will leave us for them at some point but I would think that'd be after the Vidal deal has gone through. Once again with an undisclosed fee hiding a little bit of extra money
Agree2
Disagree1
{Ed002's Note - I have never read such nonsense. The fees will be declared to UEFA. If as you propose Manchester United are taking part in a fraud I would expect a transfer ban and perhaps a points deduction.}
Ed, is that really classed as fraud? I was merely speculating that the fees all round might be a little higher on each side to make the loss of Vidal from Juve better sounding for their fans. I obviously know nothing about any of it but just like to speculate
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed002's Note - Of course it is fraud and I cannot imagine that Manchester United would be so stupid.}

Hi eds, any update on Vidal. And do you think united will get Hummels.
Believable25
Unbelievable2
{Ed002's Note - A bid for Vidal is imminent. I suspect a deal can be done for Hummels unless Barcelona.}
Hopefully the bid for Vidal will be the correct amount.
Also, at first I thought we didn't have a chance for hummels, but now it's getting more likely!
Let's hope we can snatch him up before barca do.

Evra just been announced at juve so let's keep our fingers crossed now

Im getting very excited. Fingers crossed for both these deals :)

Edd002 with the best thing I've heard all day.

Bloody Nora that's a great read.
Agree0

Apparently Ed Woodward is leaving the US Tour today for "General business reasons" so it looks like signing(s) could be happening soon
Agree0
Disagree0
If we got Vidal and Hummels I would be in dreamland.
Agree0

Would be amazing to beat Barca on Hummels, my feeling is that it will be either Hummels or Blind - would love it to be both

some rumours going round in some sport news companies that utd may have struck a deal with dortmund over a fee for hummels.
fee varies from company to company but don't know what to believe. Some reliable but other extreamly unreliable. many from germany tho

The editor has confirmed that we are trying very hard to get a deal done for Hummels.
Other sources are saying that he wants the MU move. So it's looking very good right now.
Agree0
Disagree1
A lot of German pres are cottoning on. We can only hope. He and de Vrij would keep us stocked up for years.
Agree0
Disagree0
I must say I'm very surprised at the players we seem close to getting.
I tried not to get my hopes too high but we seem to be going after some truly world class players .
This could be the best window ever and we probably have David Moyes to thank after last season's debacle it seems the owners are digging deep at last :):)

Charles Perrin is reporting that deal has been struck for Hummels at just £16 million - to be confirmed this week. How reliable is this man?

A few newspapers in Spain and Germany are claiming that a deal for Hummels has been agreed. I'd be more inclined to believe them if they weren't reporting the fee as €20m.
Believable14
Unbelievable12
I really want Hummels as United but I don't think we'll get him.
Agree0

Well, you do get the odd surprise.
Agree0

Wish it was true. But think the journalists are running out of players to link us with. The fee is ridiculously low for a world cup winner with 3 years left on his contract with Dortmund
Agree0
Disagree0
Maybe its 20 million and kagawa? I know rumours have linked a cash + player swap.?
Agree0
Disagree1
£16m looks exceptional value. An inspired bit of business if Woodward pulls this off. Let's hope this starts an influx of world class players!
Agree0
Disagree0
I think 20 million plus Kagawa would be too much. £40 million and Kagawa would be enough to get Reus and Hummels (assuming they could be convinced to sell both) imo.
£25m-£30m is what we should be paying for Hummels.
Agree0

Ive seen a few reports today United might highjack Arsenals khadira move,
I really hope so, after all this is a world class player, not a runner up. @ half the price

If he's asking for 200k a week as per what's been mentioned, then def a no

World Class? Lol

Hate it when people on here say khadia isn't good enough for us, he was a starter in the Germany midfield for a start & plays for Real Madrid, how is this guy not world class?he would walk into our midfield!
