    You think it's difficult to translate a simple sentence from spanish to english?

    Staying with #mufc and Dutch players, believe club are monitoring Memphis Depay. Any move could see him loaned out for first year.

    Manchester United will honour any half price merchandise bought during an online gaffe.

    Customers trying to purchase a new home shirt on the club's official shop overnight got a shock when they saw it listed at just £22.

    Kitbag.com, who run the shop, accidentally included the new strip as part of a half price sale leaving a number of fans snapping it up at rock bottom price.

    And now Manchester United have confirmed to Mirror Online that they will honour the discount.

    "United Direct, the Club’s Official Online Megastore, which is run by our e-commerce partner Kitbag, sent out communications which contained details of an erroneous discount code to our fans around the globe - this offer has now ended," they said.

    "United Direct will honour all consumer orders placed using this discount code, an approach which is fully endorsed by the Club.”

    The discount was originally spotted during the LA Galaxy friendly before being taken down around 8am.

    I took it as he will go to Italy to speak to the manager on Monday not to Manchester



    Also that Chilean paper that had all the United stuff are saying Liverpool have matched United's offer so I think we can safely mark them unreliable

    Yeah, I'll be in Turin on Monday and not Manchester.

    Not trying to stir anything, but would Juventus sell their top star to Liverpool? You know...

    You'd need a video to be sure because every Italian outlet seems to have a different version.

    Italian media seem to be as bad as the english for making stories and alleged quotes up

    They'll sell to anyone if the price is right.

    They will sell to anyone is right, dosent mean the player will go to the seller though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop


    well lads went back through my history to this morning and the jersey was in my basket at the €40 so decided to refresh the page still €40

    went through paypal and it was paid and got a reciept so hopefully they may (i highly doubt it) honor it

    For what it's worth, my view on Vidal hasn't changed. Still fairly confident as are United.

    .. For what its worth :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭Fenix


    Journo's aren't very clear about what was actually said regarding the Manchester bit;
    Vidal exits the airport. SI reporter keeps pushing: Are you staying? But are staying? Vidal: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m happy here”
    And either SI cut off when he has supposedly said: I’m not going to Manchester OR he didn’t say it. That’s unclear. The rest is faithful

    Here’s the Vidal clip via @vishnu87. When asked: You’re not going to Manchester, true? Vidal replies: No, no


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    I would translate that as: "I'm too nice to tell you to fcuk off out of my face" :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop



    it might mean we have not put a bid in or are still in discussion, it doesn't mean nothing is happening

    FFS someone just end this ****ing saga


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,987 ✭✭✭billyhead


    The vid does not tell us anything. Hes is trying to get through the airport as quick as possible and does not give a conclusive answer. Actually when the reporter asks about are you going to Manchester or staying he replys no no which could be construed as implying no I am not staying I am on my bike:D. Stay positive people.;)

    Obviously he cant really say if he is leaving or not yet for whatever reasons but he doesnt come across as someone whose unsure of their future, he's been very happy and cheery in every interview since Chile went out

    STROOTMAN

    That "no no" sounds like a man who is refusing to give an answer.

    Is it really a saga though? I don't think even one single reliable journalist, in England or Italy has said we were even interested all Summer. This whole thing seems to have taken on a life of its own fed by the rags.

    Just regarding Adam Digby as a journo, he will only put up pro-Juventus stuff. He's a fan of theres and as such has tried to scoff any rumour of Vidal joining United with a "pfft why would he join them and leave us?" kind of attitude.

    Basically he looks down his nose at anyone not his beloved Juventus.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,172 ✭✭✭wadacrack


    more than likely not going to get Vidal. It is not looking good

    This order has been packed and is awaiting dispatch. Payment has been taken for this order


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,136 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    If we don't get Vidal we still need to sign a box to box, tough tackling midfielder or we're going to find it hard against the top sides. If not Strootman then Carvalho looks the real deal


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,416 ✭✭✭Zico


    Wow Herrera looks good, nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing a United midfielder play a pass forward in the opposition half. He doesn't panic when he's closed down either, plays his way out of trouble. I'm very happy with him, in fact nearly everyone looked good.

    A performance like that, even though it's only a pre-season friendly, takes the edge of desperation off our transfer dealings for now. Hopefully Woodward can take advantage of the respite.

    Woodward: So we have a deal regarding Arturo Vidal?
    Agnelli: Yes my good friend!
    W: Very good. The sum of £40.4 million is excessive, but we are happy to conclude this deal. Between ourselves we do not have a penny extra, we are even using this weeks shirt sales to pay.
    A: You are getting a very fine player.
    W: At least social media will be singing my name for weeks to come!
    A: Ahahahaha yes my friend. Nothing can go wrong now. Please, you can now sign the document. Now.
    W: One moment, I need to take this all in.
    A: As you wish.
    W: Ok let's do this!!!
    A: Here is a pen!
    W: Here we go!

    Woodward is about to sign when one of his reps bursts in and leans into his ear.

    *whisperwhisperwhisper*

    A: Mr Woodward?
    ....
    A: Mr Woodward?
    W: We...em...have a problem.
    A: Yes?
    W: Some ****ers in boards.ie are after getting their kits for 30 quid the fcuking *****.
    A: oh dear? So you cannot afford Vidal?
    W: We have £40,399,120?
    A: ohh this is a terrible shame...
    W: we can give you Anderson
    A: Security...
    W: wait..maybe we can work...pleas...I can...

    So you're we are not signing Vidal??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    I think Herrera is our vidal, we would be much more balanced if we got carvalho plus hes much more gettable, we do need a centre half or 2

    I be happy with this because LVP is such an improvement over moyes, hes even better than fergie , dare I say it
