By Vivalabanter Go To PostOr that we simply dawdled too long, he got another offer which was just as good (if not better) and the other club (Chelsea) were willing to do what it takes to put it through immediately.I am going with this, it wouldn't be the first time we've dithered on a player,
Really thought we'd turned a corner With Schweini and Shniderlin but false dawn...
Thiago, Fabregas, Pedro.
We should just stop going for Barca players.
Imo, I think we wanted him but never matched what Barca wanted. Chelsea have and they'll sign him. Don't believe this, "not interested anymore" crap.

Christ. It's not like we just missed out on Ronaldinho, Thiago, Bale etc.
Our transfer window has still been decent overall. Just need some extra quality to top it off.

"More on Pedro. United doesn't want to pay what FCB want... because Van Gaal decided, despite contact with player, that he was now not needed."

By Laboured Go To Post:lolThat's really not the point though. Yes he's not a world class player (but we could still do with him).

Point is they wanted a player and there was a price set at which the deal would be done. It's being done now, but with another club.
It's not like we were £10m apart in valuation. For a club that bangs on about its financial muscle and ability to do what it wants in the transfer market it's a strange way to behave.
Whenever I've seen Benzema play, he's always given me the impression that he is likely to fuck up the occasional chance - the same issue our beloved Olivier suffers from. The problem we have is consistency and reliability. Does Benzema solve that?
when thiago had that 25m price tag, we just bought him. no idea why manchester is making things so complicated.

I know what you mean but is it a case of us saying "he's worth this much and we don't value him higher". Like I get us having all the money ever but it's clear we didn't want the player enough to pay his asking price.

Briefing that LVG saw enough in MU games to convince him he doesn't need Pedro. Was it Januzaj? Priorities now elsewhere. Centre-forward?
Interesting. Or maybe Wenger'd.

I agree whole heartily with part of this assessment however, Benzema scores the goals hes suppose to. I dont mind strikers missing chances that happens to everyone, it's when you need to your striker to put a away a half chance, or your not carving teams open etc. Benzema has the ability to produce moments of magic in those games (big games as well).
The player we have lined up is Muller and good luck getting him. Fucked it right at the end of the window.
@tancredipalmeri: Woodward held on Pedro,battling Barça on who had 'bigger balls'. Marina doesn't have this complex,and show them she got bigger than them all:lol
By rossonero Go To Post:lolfuck
bbc - Chelsea agree to sign Barcelona winger Pedro, who had been a Manchester United target, in a deal worth £21m.
Good, because he is awful. There's a good reason Barca is unloading the bum.

By Pappe Go To PostVan Gaal hates the Spanish. It's the only logical explanation
Well this was the popular theory, of why Mourinho didn't like Mata. "He hates all Spanish people after being in La Liga"
By rossonero Go To Post:lol
Dat Woodward. What a guy.
By Woodenlung Go To PostWell this was the popular theory, of why Mourinho didn't like Mata. "He hates all Spanish people after being in La Liga"
So after, selling Mata, buying Salah, getting rid of Salah, getting rid of De Bruyne, selling Schurrle, buying Cuadrado and getting rid of Cuadrado, do you think Mou finally has his man?

And fuck it. The most probable reason why we cancelled on Pedro is not because we have Muller to be signed, but because LVG probably decided that Pereira and Januzaj is worth developing.
I just hope we at least get into the quarter finals of ECL this year.
By rossonero Go To PostGood luck Cola! Which country?Somewhere warm where they dont hate white people

That's awesome man. Will be great. Just go to somewhere with good internets ok
By Mr Cola Go To PostSomewhere warm where they dont hate white people
If only they could pay you in the Philippines. I feel like you would love their oddities there.
Mitten apparently posting on UWS that the Muller stuff isn't all just bluff. Says he's available and wants the move.
CF is inexpressibly more crucial than wide man.
Just got to bloody well hope that we have some options/plans.

Fans wouldn't be happy.
By Vivalabanter Go To PostWell if it gets Adnan more minutes I'm happy.
Him and Pereira definitely benefit, which is not a bad thing. Would love some Muller tho #Mittenpls
By Mr Cola Go To PostSomewhere warm where they dont hate white peopleAnywhere on the southern hemisphere then.
May as well hijack City's move for De Bryune that would make me feel better. In all honesty I gotta feeling we ain't signing anybody.
By Mr Cola Go To PostI thought Muller was more of a 10?He's not that good looking.
