Would work better if his dad wasnt a well known Dutch international.

Well happy with this signing.

I think we'd all have taken Shaw, Rojo, Blind, Herrera and Dima£#%&!ingria at the start of the window

Not sure which thread I should be posting on but it definitely seems to be a done deal. De Telegraaf are "exclusively" reporting the €18m deal, plus bonuses they say which would also make sense.

wow!

Telegraf (Dutch paper) claiming 14m + add ons!

http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/vo..._UNITED__.html

Going through the article itself, it says 'according to reports in england' and daily mail article says according to reports in holland

Because we were waiting to see how Vidal's recovery went?

for the price quoted and what we need, seems like a no - brainer. The fact we didn't wrap this seemingly simple transfer up earlier would strongly suggest he was not the first option.

impressed with him at the world cup though and let's face it....we're desperate. .its a yes for me. get him in and get him at straight into that midfield ahead of fletcher asap.

£14m

Ridiculously reasonable fee. Obviously wrong.

It's true. Confirmation today.

Looks like carrickers caught rafabz and that "by all accounts" boy ronaldo cold with this one on a Friday evening where they were probably enjoying a movie with their family.

But due to the ongoing Vidal situation, it's still anyones game.

Monday will be huge.

Average player but plays in a few positions and isnt tom cleverley. 14m is a decent price if true.

Some very interesting shit in there.
True, but he was named after his dad's favourite newspaper for the vision impaired.

Smacks as a bit of a 'Liverpool' type signing - decent, work ethic, but not anything like world class potential. However, as mr ginners correctly points out, he's not £#%&!ing cleverly. And maybe we need a couple of those types of players.



So welcome to the jungle, my friend

Team will be greater than sum of it's parts. NQAT

We had pretty much all agreed that we were looking at 3 months before we were show what he is capable of then after 3 games a load lost their shit.

Pretty much


I've written the season off in my head in terms of not expecting anything - even 4th. If we do get it of course, and perhaps sneak the FA cup (), big bonuses right there.

'Would address midfield issue'


Not really.


I guess first choice mids would be Blind, Herrera, ADM when fit but still missing a Vidal plus ADM should be much further up the pitch

Not really Blind as the holding, Herrara would prefer the box to box job (think from Sid Lowe) and Mata as the AM. Di Maria wide to put some pace forwards.
