We'll see what happens but I reckon they'll fall short. Don't think Everton will budge on Fellaini now unless we go really high (fair enough, Everton doing what's best for them) and I just don't believe we can sign Ander Herrera in 2 days. It sounds like a really complicated deal and United just seem to be unable to get those done, let alone in a short space of time.

If you wanna visit the UK just go there, over at Gibraltar they have nice weather and it's a rock. A rock! And they have monkeys!
Phil Gartside, Bolton Chairman, has admitted to swindling City out of £400,000 for Hamann. Apparently we signed him from Bolton when they actually hadn't officially signed him.
Daniel Taylor (Guardian) says City are "looking closely" as to what we can do.
We do not forget. We do not forgive.

Well Swansea actually spent a decent amount of money this window so thats not really a fair comparison. Doing Swansea an injustice.

Still top of the league, at least for a few more hours.
3 games, 5 goals. Montero scored more goals than Serbia Lisboa and Benfica.

Yep business abroad needs to be wrapped up quickly.
If not we may have to settle buying from other British teams which I don't think would be a very smooth process.
Tom Ince panic buy incoming.

they beat the european giants Academica and Arouca, it's obvious the only thing that can keep them from winning are the refs, lol.

Chiellini? Were getting two defenders?

Lmao what was Ji doing there?
United given hope on Herrera
"If Athletic Club Bilbao fans have any say in the future of Ander Herrera then he isn't going anywhere. According to regional Basque newspaper El Correo over 70% of fans don't think that the player should be sold, even for an offer over 30m. It's a unique situation in Bilbao, Athletic only picks players who are Basque or who have Basque roots so they don't work in an open market. A Basque player is worth considerably more because he's so much harder to replace, it's not a case of simply going out and buying a new one.
The youth system at the club was boosted financially after the sale of Javi Martinez to Bayern Munich and their new stadium has just been completed, things are looking good for the future but they need a good season and selling their best players just before the transfer window closes doesn't quite fit with that. It's hard enough for Manchester United to find a midfielder with just two days left but if a caveat of him having to be Mancunian was thrown in then it would be even more difficult. This is the problem Athletic Club face and why they are always a bit touchy about selling those they'd rather keep. And that's without bringing the stubbornness of Basque people into the equation.
El Correo reports comments from club president Josh Urrutia who said on Saturday "Ander, so far, has not told us he wants to leave."
The 'so far' may be a chink of light for Manchester United because the same newspaper, and they appear well informed on their local club, say that coach Ernesto Valverde has taken an extra player on the trip to Real Madrid for Sunday's game. El Correo insinuate that this could have something to do with the possibility of Herrera being withdrawn from the group and not playing, this was put to the coach who said that the midfielder had not withdrawn from the group but also commented "I'll talk with him. Then we'll see, but I understand that he is able to play."
The stance does appear to be softening slightly but whether Herrera plays tomorrow or not may not be the ultimate clue. The game kicks off at noon and there's no reason why he couldn't appear in that and still transfer to Manchester United, other than the danger of getting injured.
Herrera will be unlikely to force a move but if the club are happy with the sale and think they can re-invest the money in future transfer windows then he may not have to. Urrutia will probably want him to at least say he'd like the move so it takes some of the blame away from the club if they are to sell him, especially with the majority of fans being against the idea of a sale.
Herrera got a good reception at training this morning and was mobbed by fans afterwards who wanted photographs taking with him. He's not getting the abuse which was directed at Fernando Llorente because he's not trying to force a move. If Herrera does end up at Old Trafford then he'll want the transfer to be as smooth as possible meaning he doesn't end up hated. Indeed, for it to happen in the first place Athletic Club Bilbao need to be totally happy, if they are not they can use tax to kill the chances of a deal happening.
One of the comments in Friday's club statement from Urrutia was telling: "For a player to go, first the player must express his desire to leave the club and pay the release clause."
That clearly sounds like Herrera would have to pay the clause himself which is the only way to actually force a move through. Manchester United would have to deposit enough in his account so that he was left with 36m to buy himself out, with the tax rates in Spain regionally that would work out at almost double, so over 70m. They could also add IVA, which would add around 7m to the figure Manchester United would have to pay.
The softening of the words from Athletic Club will be welcome and the suggestion from the local newspaper and the club's manager that there's something going on (having to check he's able to play, taking an extra player to Madrid) will give cause for optimism. Manchester United will probably be tip-toeing around Urrutia's pride right now and a bid of just over the buyout clause could help smooth things along. "

Yeahhh Palace won? Need to support my local team.
Hopefully Woodward learns from this. Next time don't fuck up.
Mega-wank.
that's good to hear, but for the love god just flush more often.
what did he do wrong? It's always tough to deal with Bilbao why don't you just pay his release clause?

This is just desperation.
It's simple. He has a release clause. If we want him, trigger it.
No need for hope, it's there for us if we really want him.
Just in general, it's been a joke of a window.that's good to hear, but for the love god just flush more often.
what did he do wrong? It's always tough to deal with Bilbao why don't you just pay his release clause?
Da fuck. I specifically picked one that wasnt
