Wilson to Bolton -- apparently - anybody heard anything?

31 Aug 2015 23:28:20
Looks like we're keeping De Gea in the stands for the season.
31 Aug 2015 23:21:34
Reports now that the De Gea deal has fallen through
31 Aug 2015 23:19:37
Gary Neville has just said on his twitter account he's heard the fee now for Martial is £59 million. Surely this can't be right? That is beyond crazy if its true. We will end up getting Charlie Austin for about 70 million tomorrow.
31 Aug 2015 23:52:10
No he said on his next tweet that it wasn't. Everyone needs to calm down.
01 Sep 2015 00:16:58
£36m could rise to £59m depending on add ons apparently one of which is if he becomes European player of the year at some point with us, interesting if true.
01 Sep 2015 08:10:31
"If" he becomes European Player of the Year with us, however many million will be a bargain.
01 Sep 2015 08:34:02
I believe nevilles next tweet after that was a sarcastic comment. Basically still saying it's ridiculous
31 Aug 2015 23:16:45
De Gea deal fallen through. Fax not sent in time! Would love if it was LVG and Ed's plan all along to piss Madrid off.
31 Aug 2015 23:51:19
It's absolutely unbelievable time to put a line under it and get degea back in goal he's under contract and should be fully committed to doing his upmost to helping the team for the season.
01 Sep 2015 11:10:51
Now we get nothing for him! There's a lot of questions to be asked here?
31 Aug 2015 21:35:14
Just seen a cryptic tweet by greizman something along the lines off tomorrow it will be ok,then few people saying he's coming. Took a look at he's last few tweets and he mentioned martial in 1 and Rooney in another, could it really happen this late
31 Aug 2015 21:52:09
On the 18th August he did can't find anything ballague
31 Aug 2015 22:33:11
Ballague has tweeted (the correct one) saying that no chance of Griezmann and there never was a chance although Griezmanns tweet is intreaguing!
31 Aug 2015 21:23:06
Guilleme Ballegue has said that we will activate griezmans release clause and he will be our player by tomorrow. He wants the deal apparently.
Fingers crossed
{Ed004's Note - Fake account}
31 Aug 2015 22:09:42
Brilliant cheers Ed.i don't do twitter so just did a Google search and until 6pm,tomorrow will believe everything!!!
31 Aug 2015 22:13:33
Yes I fell for the fake account to
31 Aug 2015 19:53:26
Hey Ed004, how are you buddy?
Any truth in Wilson being loaned out and do you think we are done as far as incomings are concerned? Cheers
{Ed004's Note - There is a chance he could be but I think a replacement would need to be signed first}
31 Aug 2015 20:56:43
Griezmann has just posted a very cryptic message on twitter. Saying it will match tomorrow. stay tuned!
I think this place would go into meltdown if he signed. i'm still sticking to my prediction that he will sign for us.
31 Aug 2015 21:23:16
WHat did it say? I'm intrigued?
I'd go mad (in a good way) if he signs!
{Ed004's Note - He would be my ideal signing}
31 Aug 2015 21:27:03
Berahino i would think is still a possibility with Wilson going the other way.
31 Aug 2015 21:32:04
Angelred
The closer translation is even more interesting. it's
"Tomorrow it will come true"
31 Aug 2015 21:33:54
hes publicly said he's a Utd fan right?
31 Aug 2015 21:37:57
Just seen the tweet? Very cryptic indeed?
New number 11? Let's hope so!
31 Aug 2015 21:47:27
That's the one player I'd like do see here.
Can play in practically anywhere upfront, score goals, is very aggressive when it comes to attacking, is in a very good age.
That one would make me shut up.
31 Aug 2015 22:03:15
As griezman actually said tommorow it will come true ?
31 Aug 2015 22:07:41
I pray it's true don't see it happening tho it would need more than a day remember the fiasco with Herrera and the release clause.
31 Aug 2015 22:13:05
Thanks Dark, twitter French translator isn't great lol! Yes ed 004 all would be well if we signed him. I predicted it a few weeks back that we would sign him, pay his buyout and be done with it. He is phenomenal.
And yes both him and his brother are huge man utd fans. Maybe it's the dream for him to play here
31 Aug 2015 22:45:03
Think he said that the tweet is nothing to do with a transfer.
31 Aug 2015 23:29:08
Yeah publicist came out and said nothing to do with a transfer. Never believe a publicist though. I've worked with a few!!
31 Aug 2015 19:18:40
Ive heard Carlton Cole is available on a free? rofl.
31 Aug 2015 20:24:35
Emile Heskey is still around I feel
31 Aug 2015 21:30:47
So cole and heskey upfront with rooney filling in when either of them injured? seems a sound plan.
31 Aug 2015 21:47:03
AJH he won't come cheap he is better than Messi you know
31 Aug 2015 18:48:12
Bellegue just tweeted
"Navas accepts. De Gea deal done!! €40m all-in. £29m. Manchester United happy - near record for player with 1 year left"
I guess we have lost DDG. will be missed sorely and Madrid have got themselves a great keeper for the next 10 years. Wish him the best.
31 Aug 2015 20:12:47
Which player will they steal from us next?
So long David and thanks.
31 Aug 2015 18:44:56
Official - Keylor Navas our new number 1!
And £30 to spend on someone, preferably a new CB!
Edds,
Do you think a winger will now come in?
Griezmann or Felipe Anderson maybe?
Cheers, Ronnie!
31 Aug 2015 19:03:50
I hope we now bring in Laporte and Griezmann - Ed Woodward pull your finger out!
Cheers, Ronnie.
31 Aug 2015 19:11:58
I would love if you listed every player you have mentioned, Ronnie. ! :)
31 Aug 2015 19:17:36
Thirty quid don't get you much in today's market.
We should go transfer shopping at Aldi next summer.
31 Aug 2015 19:27:54
Might get a lidl bargain tomorrow
31 Aug 2015 19:31:14
Jacky boy, you know I meant million you begger!
Also, I remember EVERY player, WHERE SHALL I START?!?
In all seriousness, we do need a defender with Rojo going on loan?
Ronnie.
31 Aug 2015 19:31:54
I said griezemann a while ago here and in going to stick to it. Fingers crossed
31 Aug 2015 20:11:25
Ssn saying 18mill cash navas valued at 11mill so that makes the 29mill makes it sound abit poorer now
31 Aug 2015 20:13:51
Here's hoping angered, here's hoping!!
31 Aug 2015 21:49:26
W16wes , how does that make it poorer? 29 million is still 29 million however you slice it.
01 Sep 2015 06:24:58
Betty it's hypothetical now by the looks of it but who would have given real 11million for navas? Who would have doubled his wages? Real offered 18million for ddg months ago now they have added a player they don't need or want. So in my opinion its not that great a deal we just spin it as one!
31 Aug 2015 18:26:48
Hernandez Officially gone and wish him the best.
Now there is talk of wilson potentially going on loan or even a permanent transfer. What on earth is going on and this is so so so strange.
31 Aug 2015 18:49:38
Part of the philosocess GCU.
31 Aug 2015 19:15:39
Looks like more of a collapse.
I can't believe what is going on.
31 Aug 2015 19:16:53
I think until 6pm tomorrow we will not know the mechanics of all of these moves. It would leave Rooney and the Monaco player (if he is not seen as right sided). I suspect another forward will come in.
31 Aug 2015 19:22:47
Sells Chicharito and is loaning out Wilson (2 out of our 3 strikers). Spends 36million on a 19 year old striker in Martial (reserving judgement until a couple of games in). Januzaj gone on loan. Only 3 first team center backs in the squad. We now need at least 5 players (another striker or 2, 2 CB's and a winger/attacking midfielder).
This Martial deal seems to me like it's screaming panic buy, especially at that price. He went from unknown youngster with potential to one of the best young players in Europe overnight. Januzaj, Chicharito, Evans and Blackett all confirmed with Wilson seemingly close to a loan deal, seems to me like their replacements are already lined up.
Kaylor Navas + 25million is a good deal for De Gea, which seems likely now that Lindegaard has signed for West Brom. With this deal tied up though, anyone else see Bale taking the number 11??
This is either going to end very bad or surprisingly good. It's 2:22am where I am, way too stressed to sleep!!
31 Aug 2015 18:07:12
It's all done apparently. De Gea to Real and Navas to United
#welcomeNavas

31 Aug 2015 18:55:19
I think the writing was on the wall for DDG as soon as LVG arrived? LVG JUST didn't LIKE HIM! Shame really as I think he was pushed out and we all now know what LVG can be like. an a*se! Shame Sir Alex couldn't stay longer to get DDG to sign?
WE MOVE ON AND A DEFENDER IS NEEDED!
31 Aug 2015 19:23:42
Pushed out? Come on ronnie it was well documented that he always wanted the real Madrid move. Fair play to him, he served us tremendously well and it was always his plan to move home.
Man utd left it late, maybe a mess but te fact is they had a fee of 30mil in mind and Real did not want to pay it until now. I think it's a good deal, good money for a player with one year left and a very good keeper in return.
I do admire Ed and the club standing up to the might of Real and holding out for a better fee. God knows they have taken some good players off us in the past for next to nothing.
Let's hope we can now sort out another forward player, maybe through in a CB for good measure. I think we would all be much happier then
31 Aug 2015 19:31:41
Haha we are blaming de gea wanting to go home on LVG now are we? Bloody hell.
31 Aug 2015 17:45:08
Draxler to Wolfsburg done. looks like it will be a hectic window.
31 Aug 2015 17:40:49
Rumours that Wilson could go out on loan to WBA too. That would mean Januzaj, Wilson and Chicarito all going out with only Martial coming in at the moment. They must be more coming in at least a wide player or striker
31 Aug 2015 18:57:23
One more striker is surely in
31 Aug 2015 19:30:58
I think that Berbatov is available
31 Aug 2015 17:17:01
Hi ya Edds,
Is Rojo going on loan to Monaco?
If so will we bring in another defender? Laporte, Umtiti and Kongolo to name a few?
Thanks, Ronnie.
31 Aug 2015 20:16:04
Are you just picking names out of a hat?
31 Aug 2015 22:24:36
Why on earth would we loan him out our best left footed center back don't be daft
31 Aug 2015 17:13:47
apparently De Gea + Navas is happening (from the Guardian)
31 Aug 2015 17:44:03
De Gea was ready to sign a new contract at the beginning of last season when LVG took charge. But LVG said he had to prove himself to him and earn a new contract.
I think people are underestimating how much LVG is ruining this once great club. Taking Navas as a consolation prize to having a world class keeper should be insulting to the United faithful. It is to me.
Januzaj on loan, Di Maria leaves from not wanting to play under LVG anymore, Falcao reduced to tears because of him, Valdez banished, Rooney not used properly, De Gea told he had to earn his contract. LVG has ruined us and those of you who click disagree are kidding yourselves. LVG has to go and we need to get a manager that uses the fortune he has at his disposal properly.

Ihatefootball
I think you're off your meds
31 Aug 2015 18:01:39
IHF
I think de Gea would have gone new contract or not. LVG was only saying he wanted to take a look at things. I don't think it changed anything with the DDG situation.
Valdes deserved to be frozen out. ADM didn't do anything to prove himself and had an easy way out. Falcao wasn't close to being good enough. Januzaj hasn't progressed and needs regular football. Rooney isn't the player he was.
In that respect, it's hard to question LVG. However, where I would question him is the desire to bring in big names last season - this destabilised us. I'd also question his need to make all his changes at once. And some of the players he's brought in are just water carriers (Blind, Rojo. ). And has he really given the existing squad players a chance?
It's all a bit chaotic and unseemly and not at all what we've been used to.
31 Aug 2015 18:13:22
Couldn’t agree more! I´ve always that LVG must be a City fan by the way he is ruining MANCHESTER UNITED
31 Aug 2015 18:38:26
I actually worry for those that disagree and I will be here to point out your naivety in the coming months. You are a bunch of lemmings the lot of you. Watch us fail to win anything for years to come.
31 Aug 2015 19:32:34
Haha we are all a bunch of lemmings. Jog on you clown.
31 Aug 2015 20:43:18
red tinted specs lemmings get it right :)
31 Aug 2015 16:29:23
Question for Ed 002.
Who are the other clubs interested in Martial.
Is the guy highly thought of in the football world.
cheers.
{Ed004's Note - Apparently Barca were looking at him}
31 Aug 2015 13:40:41
Can any of the ed's shed some light on why we are letting januzaj join dortmund on loan. Are we expecting to sign someone else after martial. Also, are united looking to bring in a CB before tomorrows deadline. Atm garay looks the only reasonably priced CB around to try and sign.
{Ed004's Note - No idea why he was loaned tbh and don't think so}
31 Aug 2015 17:41:17
is it a loan with the option to buy?
31 Aug 2015 17:42:08
The only reason to loan is if he's not going to get game time. Hopefully that means we're getting another attacking midfielder/winger.
31 Aug 2015 18:08:14
Yeah, Anthony Martial - he can play on the wing! Well, that's where I think LVG will play him! He often plays people OUT of position!
We seriously need defensive reinforcements as well?
31 Aug 2015 18:42:41
No martial is being bought to play alongside smalling so there's pace to bring the ball out.
31 Aug 2015 19:32:09
To be fair Martial has played more as winger than a striker, only last season he played more central.
31 Aug 2015 20:09:22
Knowing how LVG likes to do things Martial (no pressure lad) is our new cb!
31 Aug 2015 17:07:00
I read an ed say on another page that Mario Gotze has. 37million Euro release clause, any interest in him ed? Thanks in advance
{Ed004's Note - Don't think so}
31 Aug 2015 17:21:13
I believe that was the release clause he had at Dortmund, was it not?
31 Aug 2015 17:37:56
Perhaps I misunderstood, cheers
31 Aug 2015 14:50:54
Hi Fellow Red Devils,
I had an entire essay written on my feelings regarding the weekend game, LVG, manager post LVG and all such. But being too large, it was put on the "Others page" . Could you all be kind enough to have a read and pass on your comments, if anyone agrees or abuse if disagree ;).
Cheers
31 Aug 2015 15:12:55
Hahahaha. Someone has clicked unbelievable on this, a note to something on the other page. Now please be gentle to the note atleast guys. ;P
{Ed002's Note - You see the issue then Shan.}
31 Aug 2015 15:23:28
Yeah there are a lot of neanderthals in these parts Shan.
31 Aug 2015 15:35:09
And the numbers only seem to be increasing brendan . Hopefully the herd will be thinned when the window closes .
31 Aug 2015 15:40:21
Just had a read Shan - refreshingly different to the narrow minded few on here.
31 Aug 2015 16:29:03
When the toddlers go back to play school it should calm down mate.
31 Aug 2015 16:30:14
Thanks for your efforts Shan. Don't be put off by the trolls - at least you're getting a response! Better to provoke opinion than to remain silent.
31 Aug 2015 17:46:21
Good post Shan and interesting viewpoint which I half agree with. I was going to respond and then I read Shappys reply and decided I didn't need to reply to yours myself as everything I was going to state was delivered in his!
31 Aug 2015 12:15:50
The French FA have released Martial so he can fly to Manchester to sign for us.
Must admit I'd never heard of him, can anyone shed some light if they have seen him play, and what type of player is he.
Thanks
31 Aug 2015 13:46:19
Apparently has a great right foot and great acceleration. Has drawn comparisons with Henry.
I don't know much about him though, never seen him play just going off what I read.
31 Aug 2015 14:06:53
He is fast, can play on the RW as well as striker, is good with both feet and is very composed in front of goal.
Held in high regard and viewed as the next Henry for France, we shall see how he copes with the step up in league quality though.
31 Aug 2015 14:12:31
More similar to welbeck
31 Aug 2015 14:18:29
He's a great prospect for the future but not what we need now. LVG will likely ruin him. Just like he has Januzaj. LVG OUT.
31 Aug 2015 14:30:20
Great potential,great age and very fast but my only issue is it seems a bit of a panic buy.
We've seemed to spend the whole summer haggling with teams about fee's for our main targets who have been established internationals, multi trophy decorated players that would have cost less then the fee being bounded round for this unproven talent.
I'm still hoping we add a imposing GK and an experienced cb as I can't be the only one that panics when the opposition attacks our half?
31 Aug 2015 14:42:55
Januzaj ruined himself for being to weak for our league sure he will get strong or become a super star in a weaker league
31 Aug 2015 14:59:01
I don't see the point in buying players like depay and martial players with pace to burn and huge potential if you're not going to unleash them.
We should be attacking the space on the flanks instead of cutting back to keep possession it's so annoying. I've said it a 100 times we need to get shot of van gaal. We need a more attack minded coach.
31 Aug 2015 17:13:23
Nach
Not a big fan of his ether but willing to wait and see. Give him 15 games as his philosophy is either right or utter sh. t given what we have spent to mold our team into.
The process thing will not wash for much longer and only a blind man will continue doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. We should not be struggling to create chances like we are.
31 Aug 2015 12:09:16
A statement from the FFF read: "Anthony Martial was presented Monday at 11:00 at the gathering of the France team at Clairefontaine. He requested from Didier Deschamps permission to travel to England to sign a contract with Manchester United.
"Given the exceptional circumstances, the coach has acceded to the request of the player.
"Anthony Martial left Clairefontaine Monday at 12:00. He will return on Tuesday morning."
Sorry for copy paste but its a direct quote.
31 Aug 2015 12:21:10
I don't like to use this symbol ">", but Martial > Chicharito. Will do very well in Manchester, had the chance to watch him last season. Stil inconsistent, but very young and very talented. This is the way United do business, sign young talant that people will talk about. And it really surprised me that he's called by the French coach. More transfers please ;)
31 Aug 2015 12:23:29
I am very happy that we are signing some one so young with so much potential but I am bothered with the price quoted. But the market nowadays is crazy. This guy can become the next O'henry or may flop with the price dropping so low in a couple of seasons.
31 Aug 2015 12:53:08
As I said before, we, as fans, don't have to care about the transfer fees, ins and outs.
31 Aug 2015 13:34:02
Ziko mate I agree but ins and outs are directly related to the price tag I am afraid.
31 Aug 2015 13:48:12
I didn't understand you. I'm saying that I don't care if we sign someone for 1 or 1m. All I care is what he is doing on the pitch :)
31 Aug 2015 14:00:49
Ronnie is going to be delighted that we are signing a 19 year old.
31 Aug 2015 14:02:35
potentially a great prospect but does this signing do anything to our current situation? unless this lad hits the ground running and gets plenty of game time then were no nearer to addressing the lack of goals.time will tell
31 Aug 2015 15:00:29
GDS,
Your a funny one, all we need know is Aymeric Laporte to sign and a top draw keeper!
If we are gunna splash, get Griezmann in too! Or maybe Reus?
31 Aug 2015 11:56:56
The actual French federation for football has released a statement saying they've allowed Martial to go to Manchester, I didn't believe all this when it broke last night but that's as reliable as it comes in terms of a source.
31 Aug 2015 17:17:35
The odd thing with this whole deal is he played the whole 90 minutes last night with them being down 3-0 even though the story broke before their kickoff against PSG. I would be very surprised if the deal is over 20 million and still puzzled by the whole thing.
31 Aug 2015 11:10:13
Januzaj off to Dortmund on loan, Hernandez to Leverkusen
31 Aug 2015 11:13:58
Januzaj sweetener for Reus?
31 Aug 2015 11:15:21
With Januzaj and Hernandez gone we are surely brining someone in?
I'd be annoyed if we didn't at least ask about Reus when discussing Januzaj with Dortmund.
31 Aug 2015 11:15:59
if them 2 go we surely have to have players lined up, the squad will be far to small and not enough quality up top to challenge.
hummells would be nice in the deal with adnan.
31 Aug 2015 11:35:09
if that's the case, we are left with fellaini, Wilson and rooney. We must be bringing at least 2/3 forwards in. We have cut our squad down big time, and have more fixtures this season, I think we are in for some big surprises
31 Aug 2015 11:59:11
seems like 1 of them would be anthony martial with France conforming that they have allowed him leave to get his transfer to utd sorted out as per France football official website
31 Aug 2015 11:59:17
Martial on his way to sign contract!
One down
The eternal optimist in me is reading stuff in to the adnan to dortmund story I'm hoping rues or hummels
31 Aug 2015 12:13:32
Reus, Reus, Reus :) And again some news circulating about Greizman.
