Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - Mod Notes in OP,22/7

Adamocovic

Well they are saying Vidal is getting ready for a move to United at £35 million. He said he will sort it out after he comes back from his holidays but when asked about joining united he said he heard the rumours and hasn't spoken more about the subject yet and then added 'I'm very calm, but anyone would love to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.' So hopefully we can get him.

Reus on the other hand seems like he might be a lost cause, I really wanted us to sign him and if he goes to liverpool I'll be broken ha.

Would love to see Hummels, Vidal and Reus join us.

Marco Reus wont join Liverpool, that would be a horrendous move for him. He is hot propoerty and could get into just about any big side in the world, I don't see how or why he would go to Liverpool.

Tell me thats not a redtop rumour? That would really take the mickey.

I know, I know. A Daily Fail link

Read that the deal is the same as the bottom 8 premier league team's ticket sales combined each year.

Signing of the SEASON!!!


Can't wait to see the quality of the kits :cool:

Well saw today that Liverpool apparently are making a £45 million bid. Just a bid at the end of the day, saw it on the Guardian but it was on other papers too. Hopefully he turns it down, I've wanted united to sign him for a while and if he went to liverpool I'd be devastated ha.

That would be such a rubbish move for him.

Tony Jarrett is adamant that Liverpool are baffled by these reports, he would seem to be a half decent source of Liverpool stuff to me.

Ah the old holiday line, it seems footballers are incapable of saying yes or no when on holiday :rolleyes:
Gives the story legs for another week or so.
It's Thiago Alcantara all over again.

The Vidal transfer does, unfortunately, appear to be following the Sneijder pattern rather than the RVP or Mata pattern.

Holland only got home last night and LVG is taking a couple of days off so Wednesday is the day!

The big four teams in Europe in terms of revenue and one can take from that support and in no particular order - Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

It is one of these teams that Reus will move to, when he decides to move in my opinion.
Each of the teams mentioned above have won the CL in the last 7 years.
Each of them are very attractive propositions for different reasons.

homerjay2005

any images of training floating about yet to give an idea of who we can expect to play in the first friendly next week?

i assume we wont see the 14 world cup players for a while, especially those who got the second rounds.

If Barca or Madrid come calling he'll likely go there.

Barca probably wont go afetr him. Suarez signed and really need to look for a top class centre half. Kroos to MAdrid so will they have a real interest?

Kroos and Reus play in different positions, unless you're a certain poster on here.

Peter Spencer from the M.E.N is saying the Vidal signing is imminent.

Have any of the good journos said anything about Vidal? ie, Ducker, Taylor etc?

Madrid want James Rodriguez, which makes them crowded in attack.
Barcelona changed manager and the new manager went for Suarez, which makes it rather crowded at Barcelona too.
Bayern Munich - crowded too in that area.

I think the odds are he stays at Dortmund this season if he want CL this year, if not he could move to the biggest club in England and the biggest in the world in terms of support, but I would put money on him not moving this season.

Same here, and thanks to whoever it was that posted about the Adidas sale on adidas.ie
In preparation for the new deal, bought some really nice footwear and other clothes at half price.

United will have much nicer stuff in 12 months time.

Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU) has reached a ten-year agreement with adidas for a global technical sponsorship and dual branded licensing deal for a minimum guarantee of GBP 750 million, subject to certain adjustments, beginning with the 2015/2016 campaign.

Wodner what the adjustments are, interesting that it is 750million MINIMUM GUARANTEED - so it is likely the figure will be revised upwards over time. Phenomenal.

Club statement, first time I'm seeing club announcing the sponsorship value.

750 minimum



Glazers are embarrassingly good at whoring out brand United :pac:

Surely if United get back into the CL and win the league they'd have to be bringing in more money than the Spanish big two now?

I'm away this week. If I come home to Vidal and the UFC... God help this thread. My ban will be glorious.

So this Brendon Hammond dude eh :pac:

Woodward is a bloody genius. No one can pull the deals like these.

75 Million minimum from Adidas.
50 Million from Chevrolet.
20 Million from AON naming rights.

Source checked it after reading on Reddit and it was a BS account. Apologies.

Getting too excited and jumpy now. Don't believe Vidal is coming but getting a tingly feeling now....

RobertKK

Where are the people who wanted Ed Woodward gone?

A minimum guarantee £750 million deal with Adidas. The sort of deal that is so huge it cannot be underestimated how good it is, combine that with the Chevrolet deal and I don't care about the logo on the shirt or the name, they are paying huge money for it and along with the Aon deal, it means United can fight for the best players in the world.

These are not Mickey Mouse sponsors like some Oil rich clubs use.

Well done Ed on a great job, now back to signing players we want.

The Moldy Gowl

Surely we can spend that money now and it wouldnt be a problem, since transfers are spread out in installments?

So now we have **** loads of money to reinvest?

Ronaldo on the sly?

If Woody can seal a deal on Vidal he'll be hailed as a hero by all United fans.

Also, based on previous rumours there may be more to come - casual clothing line might be separate from the kit deal, so we may be getting more sponsor cash to come.

As I have been saying, missing out on the CL this season (if it is only this season) won't affect United financially all that much in comparison to previous years - as our sponsor deals will likely make up the short fall. Of course we'll be down ~20/30million on what we could have earned.

I think Champions League comes to in and around 60 million when TV revenue is added up..

MUFC are not signing Vidal. It is not imminent.

Is there a reason people don't give Richard Arnold any credit for these commercial deals??

I'd imagine he plays a pretty big role given hes commercial director.

I think last year Chelsea signed deal with Adidas.

For comparison.

We got about 30million total the year we were knocked out by Madrid IIRC

750 million, nearly twice the amount Forbes value Liverpool FC at!

Big huge deal but done legitimately, unlike those dodgy Arab funded City/PSG deals.

ManUnitedTalk @ManUnitedTalk

Forbes have Liverpool currently valued at £456m. #MUFC's kit deal alone is worth £750m.

Music to my ears!

Edinson Cavani rumoured to be looking for a move to the premier league.

I can see United signing him for one reason - to replace Rooney. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. United are current favourites to sign him.
