Kroos looking for a big pay day from Bayern

Yes, he wants them to double his Salary to something around 180k a week. I am sure they will come to an agreement shortly and he will sign on for another few years.

Somehow Bayern Players (especially German ones) rarely leave Bayern, unless they are not wanted anymore.

Look at Ribery and Robben, both have been permanently moving, but somehow managed to settle at Bayern. There is something (beside the money) that makes the players very loyal to the Club.

Odd that number 9 has been vacant since Berbatov's departure. Could RVP not have slotted in there nicely?

He was offered it, but opted to stay with #20, probably due to winning the clubs twentieth league title in his first year. I think I read somewhere as well that he didn't want to screw fans who'd already bought a jersey with his name on it.

Why can't teams just line out 1-11 anymore, eh?

FutureGuy

8.

Perfect.

Said he wanted to keep the number so fans didn't have to rebuy shirts and numbers

EDIT: Beaten to it.

On a side note it looks like dealings in the summer have been learned from, 37 million bid and approved as apposed to low balling it time and time again.

I might be remembering incorrectly, but did they overlap? I though Berbs was gone when RVP arrived.

Mitch Connor

:eek: Surely he hasn't been made aware of some of our transfer plans!? PLAYER POWER GONE MAD I TELLS YA:mad:

So Mata has been informed of our transfer business? Clearly getting too big for his boots already :pac:

Jaysus this summer looks fantastically interesting

That picture is so hard to actually believe. We signed Juan Mata.

Mata on De Gea: "He was texting me things that I knew before. He said the fans are unbelievable and the guys are nice."

We need more Spanish players..

Mata: "I think 8 is a great number. I know 7 is iconic here. David Moyes & I decided 8 is good for me. Hopefully it'll bring me luck."

Juan Mata on #mufc: "What I like most about this club is the character. This club fights to the end and comes back from difficult moments."

Pity he didnt get no 7. He is a marquee signing that deserves no 7

We will not sign Mata Kroos.

Let the guessing commence: What kind of players could be coming in the summer that would excite a player of Mata's quality?

Kagawa, Januzaj, Mata and Rooney. And Moyes wants to sign more players like Mata. Get a CM David, ffs! :P

irishfeen

Moyes: "There will be more players like Mata arriving in the future, I have no doubt about that."

I wonder do we have a gentleman's agreement in place for one or two players to come in over the summer - everyone inside the club are saying it as if it was a certainty.... they are lining themselves up for a massive fall (maybe even fatal) if this summer was to be repeated.

Trigger

Is Allister Ferguson in any way reliable? He says on twitter that we are in for Shaw, Cabaye and Vidal, with United knowing that Vidal will be a tough one to get but trying anyways.

Mata relishes @WayneRooney link-up. “He's one of the best players in this country's history. I'll try to connect with him as much as I can."

Juan Mata at press conf: "The thing I like most about Manchester United is that they brought me here by helicopter"

Giggsy11

Btw anyone feel that we have signed a player or 2 on pre agreemene deals? Mata said about players joining in summer. It might be just the targets and promises made by ManUtd but just that I have this feeling.

Mars Bar

The helicopter comment! :pac:

Tandem sky dive for the next signing would be my preference.

Was Iamthewalrus not joking? I doubt Mata really said that.

@WayneRooney, Marouane Fellaini and Robin van Persie all trained today ahead of #mufc vs @CardiffCityFC, David Moyes has confirmed.


Fcuking sweet - this day gets better

Roo, Fellaini and RVP all trained today. Excellent news.

Cypher_sounds

I like this guy, speaks very well too. He is gonna be whopper for us.

Finally someone to fill the no.8 jersey and do it proud since Rooney did.

David Moyes on further signings after Mata: "There'll be more players like Juan in the future. There's no doubt about that."

I know this is a standard enough phrase, and maybe it's just me - but did Ferguson use this line an awful lot?!

He said it when referring to Bebe's Ballon d'Or credentials.

Mars Bar

Januzaj will be disappointed to be off free kick duty after just getting on it!

We now have 3 excellent free takers who will all be first choice and then Adnan.

Lord TSC

As soon as I gather some money, "Mata 8" jersey is being ordered

Still can't believe we signed Mata

I want RVP, Rooney & Mata to take free kicks in tandem.

OGS says Fabio to Cardiff is all but done.

OptaJoe: 6 - A third of Juan Mata's 18 Premier League goals have been scored against Arsenal & Manchester United. Pedigree.

That's that problem sorted anyway!

That's mad Ted. I thought you were just having a laugh.

What's happening with our shirt suppliers deal?

Arsenal just got a huge deal with Puma, 150 million over 5 years.

Richard Hillman

Did Moyes say Rooney trained(full stop) or Rooney trained the team? Did Moyes run the starting XI by him too?

It has all gone extremely quiet consider the 6 month exclusivity for negotiations with Nike is over 6/8 months ago.
I fully expect it to be announced before the end of the season as next season is the last of the current deal AFAIK. I would expect now that nike have lost Arsenal there is no way they can afford to lose United so maybe it could be the first 1bil jersey deal....
