Second sending off in the space of a few weeks.

FIFA really need to clamp down on this before someone gets badly hurt.

They should consider an International and Club ban.

In brief three related news Ander Herrera and his signing with Manchester @ ManUtd

News 1: Ander Herrera deposited on Monday LFP document with 36 million euros to disengage from the Athletic

News 2: There are problems. The LFP is studying the document because there seems to be "a technical problem". Are studying.

News 3: If everything can be solved could be presented Friday at Manchester.

ah Valencia is harmless really

Zico

I expect Valencia is wary of players sliding in on him after this. If it's a choice between a broken ankle and a red card I know which one I'd choose.

Bill and the lads think it was a fair challenge. After the replay, I agree. He tackles the ball.
Still potentially dangerous.
Yellow in my opinion.

Its the very definition of a reckless challenge, even though he only meant to tackle the ball, he had such little control of his feet from diving in like he did that he racked his studs all down the little frenchmans leg.

Don't remember his break being as bad as that!

Bill and the lads think it was a fair challenge. Now don't be going against Bill and the lads!

Yeah same, strange one too as it looked pretty tame and his foot got stuck the wrong way and snap.

Technically United cannot sign a decent midfield player. Painful stuff to be getting drip fed all day with nuggets of positivity only to be kicked in the balls right before bedtime; "sleep tight united fans, remember to dream mediocre midfield dreams".

Missed that, dya know who that lad is? Kinda sounds like the "hitch" that they hit last summer with the documents. Hopefully it's bùllshît and he is just looking to be ITK.

Western Pomise

Have to say I'm not overly excited by prospects of a large chunk of our transfer outlay going on a player who hasn't pulled up trees since we tried to panic buy him at end of Aug transfer window last year....where's the 'world class' players we should be in for?

Whatsisname

Dunno about most people here but if our midfield was a trio of De Jong, Strootman and Herrera by January I'd be very happy indeed.

I'd say they are happy enough with the way their tournament went, given the level of football some of their footballers play at? Can't really compare them to Ireland.

No blankets. No Hererra.

I'm also hearing Southampton/Koeman are fighting tooth and nail to hold onto Lallana & Shaw.

It may take transfer requests for them to leave which would be a toughy for the two of them, all considered.

Clubs can reject if there's buy out clause?

They're Athletic Bilbao, they do what they want.

fitzer1982

They are rejecting it, they were never going to accept, we'll have to go the release clause route, I'm sure United are well aware of it.

Yeah wondering this myself, if United meet the buyout clause then surely Athletic cant reject it....

chupacabra wrote: »

I think Liverpool more or less confirmed after Arsenal tried to get Suarez for 40 mil + 1 that there was indeed a buyout clause but they figured they would get away with blocking it, and they did.

I reckon Bilbao are using a similar gamble here, hoping the player (with his Basque loyalties) won't force the issue and they can hold out on the transfer long enough for his buyout clause to jump up in a week's time.

The rumoured buy-out clause? that sits alongside the rumour he was at Utd yesterday.

best thing to do now is whoever posted, tweeted this crap then unfollow.
turn and negative into a positive and all that jazz.

Mitch Connor

I read we offered the money direct to Bilbao as a 'normal' transfer, so it is possible that they have rejected that bid while SEPARATELY to this Herrera has done whatever bits he needs to do to activate his transfer release himself (notification and deposit of money with LFP, which is what has been reported) so that the everything that is being reported is true.

ie. it COULD be that they have rejected a bid that was made previously and that the release clause activation is still happening/in process and in effect nothing has actually changed.

I hope this is the case, anyway.

Don't do it to yourself Mitch, you know this transfer is not going to happen now.

Kerrydude1981

If the player is so keen to come he wont be long be throwing in a transfer request

All Spanish football contracts have buy out clauses.

I UNDERSTAND LITERALLY ZERO OF HOW FOOTBALLS TRANSFERS WORK.

The mind boggles, it really does.

#InFellainiWeTrust

How Soon Is Now

It's really hard to know what's true and what's not in football these days. Until he's out there on the pitch it's never done and dusted.

Ah its a mind numbingly frustrating business at times.

glued

Isn't this why Bayern agreed to pay Javi Martinez buy out clause becuase they were sick of all the games Bilbao were playing?

It seems to work for them and it looks like we're going to have to pay his buy out clause.
