Sure. I guess it depends what you define as an incredible offer. The highest amount I've seen reported that Juve want is 60m euros. The lowest I've seen reported in 32m pounds which is 40m euros. I guess the clubs will haggle for something in between.

Last summer, when Chelsea wanted Rooney, United stated clearly that he wasn't for sale at any price. Juve could have done that publicly already, but they haven't yet. That just encourages rumours like these.

The other rumour is that Vidal is especially keen to come to Manchester United, and not somewhere like Real Madrid. Obviously, just a rumour that may be rubbish. I have no idea how attractive PSG may be to him, and of course they could offer more money but they've already splashed 50m on David Luiz and have some FFP restrictions put on them (which they may decide to ignore completely).

The other thing helping English teams is that the pounds to euros conversion is very healthy right now. That may influence the market this summer.
Dude stop making up stuff. Marotta has said it more than once we're not willing to sell. No word about 'if a huge offer comes' came out of his mouth as far as I know. It's all the media bs and you're fapping to shitty sources like Tuttosport or The Daily Fail and then come here to convince us he's off to United.

Let's stick to the facts: Marotta has said many times we don't want to sell our biggest stars and Vidal assured many times he's not leaving. Pogba didn't want to admit it for a while but at the end of the season he said he's happy here to play for Juve and learn from Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio. Raiola stated a few times already that Pogba is happy here and he's not for sale.

It was reported by Tuttosport that he would prefer United to Madrid. Probably rubbish, but there you go.

:)
Dude again stop with shitty sources. They make up stuff all the time, none here takes papers like Tuttosport, GDS and CDS seriously. Do yourself a favour so it'll hurt less when you end up not getting him.

I just wanted to contribute because I read through this thread out of curiosity and think there is some confusion. I don't think there are many (always a few) Utd fans who are certain that this transfer will happen, I see a lot of Juventus fans seem to take issue with this, it is definitely not the case. The reason that there is a deal of excitement I think comes from the fact that we view him as such a brilliant player and he happens to play in the position that we most need improvement.

The transfer is extremely unlikely but there is bound to be excitement when we see even the most mild links.

The truth is, you would struggle to find a player of note who has not been linked to us at some point this summer as the press have clearly picked up on our willingness to spend but until there is anything concrete it is all just speculation but that's half the fun!
Guys seriously don't get excited by invented bs from shitty papers. It'll do only good for you . So far GDM said there was a contact between the clubs and MU got a "no" answer from Juve.

Good to know there are yet MU fans with common sense :tup: enjoy your stay you're always welcome when act properly and use your head instead of your ass.



Of course Vidal may leave because you can never be 100% sure that's true. When it happens Juve will make an auction for him, there are plenty of teams that'd want him it's obvious so you won't be there alone in the queue. Ask yourself if you stand a chance in the current situation you're in. Tbh I think if Vidal leaves he'll go to Madrid.

One thing I do find strange is that practically every rumour seems to include Nani plus some random amount of money that they seem to make up as they go along.

Just out of interest, Vidal aside would the Juve fans even want Nani?

I think he is a very talented player who can be excellent once his confidence issues are resolved (possibly a new club can help) but he does not seem to fit in your formation at all.

personally, i wouldt want nani now. we are close to iturbe who is young and full of potential, berardi will come back next season, and if we add nani now, he will simply be a burden in the future imo, someone on high wages who is hard to get rid of and doesent play much. if we werent getting iturbe, i would take nani though

I imagined as much, Nani to you guys just seems to be one of those links that persists with no concrete proof of any interest. Every summer here he gets linked to Juventus but you are right, he would ask very high wages especially considering the pound/euro exchange currently.

We have a great winger called Ashley Young who I think would look great in the black and white if you have any interest? :hellyes:

I will carry him to Turin myself!

i doubt you would reach Turin. i would pursue you and kill both with no evidence :evil:. or i would keep you alive, let you reach Turin (without Young :D), and return to Manchester carrying a certain Simone Pepe on your back. what do you think? :klin:

Aha, as long as I got Young out of Manchester I could die a happy man. Every club seems to have their lovable wastes of space it's just ours happen to be less lovable than most.

what about your transfer window? you surely wont stop with Herrera and Shaw. some more players are needed as well. i was reading about Vermaelen, William Carvalho and Cuadrado but lately i havent followed any news. a CB (or two even), a CM and another winger are needed with the departure of a few players imo.

also, the formation. the only one i can think of that would fit in all of Rooney, RVP and Mata is the 3-4-1-2. what do you think?

Looking at Van Gaal's time in Munich and how he benched the previous seasons golden boot winner for a teenage attacking midfielder (Toni for Muller) it really is impossible to predict!

I don't think we are finished buying, some fans will tell you we are odds on to sign Di Maria, Vidal and Hummels (the same ones who thought we would sign Ronaldo last summer ha). If I had to guess I think we will bring in Vermaelen, Carvalho and one of the younger Dutch players (most likely Blind).

I think it will end up being 4-3-3 mostly with Rooney being somewhat sacrificed as either left of a front three or back up to Van Persie. I don't mind Mata playing on the right and coming inside.

Ideally we would sign Di Maria to give us width on the left in place of Rooney but no matter how many links there are I don't see the man of the match from the Champion's League final moving to a club with no European football.

they dont have enough CMs for it. also, with Valencia, Rafael, Shaw and Januzaj they would have good wingbacks, both offensively and defensively
We actually have a lot of Central Midfielders, our problem is definitely quality not quantity and in a way playing 3 might be a way to help negate the likelihood pf being overrun in midfield.
