Is this your currency calculator?

Didnt see the Gundongan news but would be happy enough with that too if true, I would prefer him to stay at Dortmund the rest of the season and show he has no long standing issue from his back, but you dont look a gift horse in the mouth either!

Believe it when I see it though

I'd take that and the Nike rumour with a truckload of salt. Why would Utd call in Nike? Reeks of Twitter rubbish.

Some already said that United execs are busy elsewhere. United and Nike have a long-standing multi-million pound business relationship.

Drunk bayern fans were far more effective tbh

They were plying the dortmund team with pints

Their 12th man looks like an excellent negotiator :pac:

So disappointed that Zaha hasn't been given a fair crack, he tore through the championship last year and being fair, he can hardly be worse than Young/Valencia at the moment

A sponsorship relationship. Why would Utd call in a clothing company to negotiate a transfer when there's dedicated agencies for that? I'd be amazed if it was true.

Been pretty **** in the reserves, and very obviously not ready to start for United.

I agree he should have got on a couple of times though

Now get nike reps to turin pogba and vidal please oh and on way back stop off in madrid and pick us up a left back..

This must be what its like to have a personal shopper


Go nike

This
oh and would ye mind also kidnapping the Madrid no 7, he looks a decent player, he might fit in in our attack
And if you're feeling generous maybe fly to Munich and kidnap the nice Mr Lahm fellow, or failing that the Alves guy in Barcelona looks a bit good...

scudzilla

Wouldn't it be nice if we sent these Nike guys over to Spain to sort out a Coentrao deal, they come back to OT, walk into the boardroom with Coentrao and say "Here's yer man, we got him for you", also a little bonus cos you're the best club in the world.....and Cristiano walks in



i can but dream

Any chance they're holding off announcing the Mata deal till this game is over ?, If we lose or don't get through no will mention it if the deal is announced.

Lads been up to my eyeballs in work all day, Mata is going to happen, yeah???

Confirmed to PSG, 48.5 million

Cattermole has featured in transfer news? There you go. He plays well in the holding role to let the likes of mata flourish.

Rubber_Soul

So after 5 minutes of searching twitter, as far as I can see the Nike rumour was started by that Marcelo Lopez character. You might remember him as the lad that claimed he had photos of Ronaldo arriving at Manchester airport for his medical and then deleted his account last Summer.

Yes, Shinji. It is looking good. Another play-a-maka for you to play with.

If true it's likely a sign that they have good working relationship. Nike are well used to dealing with sports teams and players. If United are lucky enough to be able to call upon the expertise of Nike, who also have a vested interest in United's success, then it's a good choice. I would doubt that there are many agencies out there on par with Nike when it comes to negotiating sports deals.

You reckon a sporting goods company is better equipped to broker a transfer deal instead of a licensed agent/agency? Clubs use these intermediaries all the time, when you hear "club representatives" it's not always club employees. I've no doubt Nike and Utd have a good relationship but they would have very little interest in the deal.

It's a moot point anyway as it's just a rumour started by a known spoofer.

They'd have a lot of interest in the deal, mata is sponsored by Nike who would be our biggest signing, lots of money to be made for Nike here

Sales of Mata Utd jerseys would be fairly insignificant to Nike.

Chelsea have accepted a £37million bid for Juan Mata and immediately released the Spanish international to join Manchester United to complete the most dramatic deal of the transfer window.
Mata will undergo a medical on Thursday at United before completing the move that will see him more than double his £70,000-a-week Chelsea salary at Old Trafford.
Chelsea have been braced for a bid since Monday for Mata and finally received the offer triggering their acceptance and the release of the player.
The Premier League club are not expecting the 25-year-old to return to them and have already made plans for his replacements. A medical has been booked in for Thursday for Mata and personal terms accepted.

Looks like a done deal so. Can't help but think there's an agreement in place for Rooney to be sold to Chelsea in the summer
