The Manchester United Thread

I am still utterly livid we did not make a move for him
 
Vidal is a brilliant player completley changed Juve's fortunes.

One of my favourites, been watching him for a long time, initially due to Chile (Bielsa :wub:), but then at club level too. Ferguson hugely missed a trick here.
 
Only problem with PSG is that they aren't going to be able to play in Europe if they keep spending.
Not sure how good they are at making a profit, but spending so much money is going to make it tough for them to get into Europe with the FFP rules. That's got to count against them.
 
Sorry how is this a shame?

I think you misunderstood, I said that it is a shame in general that players are moving for money and not what is best for them or their football. These days it is nothing about history/culture of playing for such a club, only about money more often than not.

He is missing another one if we do not go for Nuri Sahin, Jose has come out and opened the door by saying he can leave.
 
We chase a player weeks and can't close the deal. PSG come in and bish, bash bosh they've signed him within a couple of days. Sad times.

How is the move not good for him? Why cant players move for money and career.

A choice between PSG (big spending atm) in a mediocre French league or Manchester United in the best (arguable) league, no way PSG was the right choice if it was not about money, he will be forgotten soon over there.

To be honest it seems playing for a club like Manchester United does not enter a player's mind, a year ago this would of been a no-brainer for Moura.

Anyway Fergie sign Nuri Sahin (don't miss out on this one like you did with Vidal and others), or risk going into the season with a very average central midfield considering what we should be challenging for.

The French league is hardly mediocre, I very much doubt he is going to be forgotten.

It was also never a choice. We didnt meet their offer, PSG did.
 
Well go **** yourself you bald mercenary. Why are you taking PKs ? WHY?!

I can't help but feel that Fergie's got his hands tied a lot of the time by the owners... They seem reluctant to invest.

Were United linked with him before he went to Juve?

His price was never a problem, just that we were not even linked with him. Which was very surprising as he was the kind of player we desperately need in midfield.
