The Manchester United Thread

If DDG is leaving, who would you replace him with? Would you already bring him in this year and let him adopt in the background to the PL or next year if there will be different goal keepers available? And would you guys be fine with 1 season of Valdes in the goal, considering he has trained with you for half a season and still has massive experience in winning trophies.

Also, next year it's the year of europian championship, so prices could be inflated for top keepers.

Bernd Leno from Leverkusen.
 
Di Marzio says Darmian is done.

€18m + €2m bonuses, four year deal worth between €1.8M - €2M per year net (around £50K per week). Announcement expected to be tomorrow.

Also says we had an agreement with his agent FOUR MONTHS AGO!! Around the time we went cold on Clyne and not a single outlet picked it up. Excellent business.

Wage is amazing when you consider Januzaj is around close to that.

According to who? Your tweets? Even if thats the case, that is whats called an opening bid. Not what they really expect to pay at the end of negotiations. Like we are doing with Schneiderlin, and apparently did with Darmian. You always low-ball on your opening bid. We'll just see what happens.

Actually that's according to Sid Lowe, and the offer annoyed United so much they asked for Ramos in return. Really solid work by Madrid there.
 
There is a press conference organised for Friday where Depay will be introduced. Would really help if we had Darmian and Schneiderlin done by then aswell and get it over with before flying out on monday. Hurry up Woody
 
Also if this deal is done then huge credit to Woodward and management team. Not a word from English media about our 2 signings, they were playing guessing game and the negotiations were done without much fuss.


Depay and Darmian, both deals were first reproted by Dutch and Italian media.
 
Also once again English media at it's best.


Manchester United have taken a step closer to signing Torino’s Matteo Darmian after the two clubs agreed a £12.9m fee for the right-back. The Guardian understands the player has agreed a four-year contract worth around £30,000 a week with the transfer set to go through in the next few days

Still don't know the difference between gross and net wages. It was reported 1.8-2 Million Euros net wages, which comes around 55K pounds per week gross wages.

28.5 and 30, difference is negligible.

Beteween 28 and 30 no, but reports said we wouldn't sell unless it was for the world record fee for a goalkeeper which is £32m currently I believe.

Plus the difference isn't the point, if they don't pay what WE want then why should we sell? They played hard game over Di Maria so we should do the exact same and demand EXACTLY the fee we want actually £35m.

If not we'll just keep him for another season, no big deal. I honestly think it's in our best interest to do that, not keen on having Valdes for a season at all after seeing him in last game of season he blundered virtually every high ball.

If you head to the absolute most (2 mill euros), that equates to €35,000 per week. That converts to £25,000 per week. 1.8 mill equates to €32,000 euro, which is about £23,000 per week. At that income level, you most likely pay a lower rate of tax, meaning that the Guardian's (I think gross) figure is about right.

I think at that level, the tax rate is around 45%? Reported wages is 26K pounds after tax, so 30K can't be right.

Edit: I might be wrong here as google search says there is a loophole which makes Footballers to pay only 22%. So 30K might be correct

Darmian deal not totally agreed yet but details down to things like what car he'll get to drive and image rights.

Very exciting news. Comfortable in playing on either side of the defence, this is a much-welcomed addition. Gives Luke Shaw no time to rest on easing back into the team either, since he'll be competing with Darmian, Rojo and Blind for that first-team role.
 
Imagine the De Gea/Ramos saga will be wrapped up shortly, imagine if De Gea goes on pre-season tour with us he'll stay regardless unless Real Madrid offer the fee we want. Same goes for Ramos.

Casillas is moving to Porto and that's as good as done deal, so we might see big movement in transfer market. I think De Gea will leave for 30 Million and if we don't sign Ramos by then, then we won't/can't. Also rumors from Spanish media is promising, that Van Gaal want both Ramos and Otamendi.
