It would be money well spent.

Ramos, Otamendi, Schneiderlin, Darmian, Muller.

If that happened there'd be Randy Marsh images all over the place.

FutureGuy

Going for Kane and Muller is not surprising. Similar players.

Imagine lining up with Muller up front.

Drool.

THAT MULLER/ROBBEN/DIMARIA STORY IS FAKE.

Sorry, had to shout it to let everyone know. Erase it from your brain.

Between 55m and 60m isn't it.. probably right in today's market, way too much Imo. Can see it being rejected anyways

Yes, but what about this new story, yes probably fake too, but then United do want Muller.

Manchester United have agreed a fee with Torino for Italy international right-back Matteo Darmian, according to Sky Italia sources.

Talks between the clubs have been ongoing and, after rejecting United's first two bids, Torino have agreed to sell their prized defender for £12.7million (€18m).

Darmian is a versatile defender who is capable of playing in either full-back spot, though his favoured position is on the right, but also has experience at centre-half and at 6ft tall offers a strong aerial presence.

"An offer from FC Porto exists and Casillas is enthusiastic with that possibility," he [Casillas' agent, Carlo Cutropia] told Marca.

"Now we have to wait to see what Real Madrid say."

Sky Sports

Surely the De Gea sale will be finalised by the weekend . . .

There's a couple of serious hurdles for them to overcome before that deal happens.

Apparently Casillas is due a pay off of €15 million plus Porto's original offer included Madrid covering his wages.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9820923/manchester-united-close-to-agreeing-deal-for-ilkay-gundogan

in fairness, that was a deal agreed between the clubs, Gundogan obviously thought long and hard about moving and then decided he was happy to stay. He recently signed a new contract with Dortmund as well

RobertKK

In the current market, that would not be crazy money for Muller.

He is one of the top players on the planet. He is box office material. He is on course to break the world cup scoring record - he performs when he is under scrutiny.

If Adidas would like a German playing for the best supported club on the planet, then Muller would be a great deal for both United and Adidas.

Who wouldn't like a front line of:
Depay--Rooney--Muller?

Can't believe some think it is crazy money when he is one of the very best in the world.

jimmytwotimes 2013

Versatile and tall, an LVG signing if there ever was one!

We don't actually know how close we were to signing him.

Dortmund came out and said he was leaving and then he signs a new contract.

Too easy to say that just because it didn't happen that it wasnt true.

That wasnt the point i was making.

brinty

sure there Ed Woodward said they never agreed to any deal bang...
Sky are totally unreliable

secman

We don't have to sell him.... I'd sooner hold on to him for the season and not having to rush into replacing him. It would cost us the €20 m fee... but sure look what Falcao cist us this season and flopped. Take the season to suss out another up and coming keeper. Hard ball... we are United after all.

No it wasn't. Dortmund immediately denied the reports and said that they wanted him to stay. The were only going to sell if he didn't sign a new contract which he did.

Thomas Muller would be the most ideal signing ever for the 433 formation. Its too perfect. Wont happen.

They said he was not signing a new contract and leaving in the summer

"Our talks came to the conclusion that he won't extend his contract and will leave in the summer," said Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc.

That was on the 9th May

Think our deal was first reported in mid april and Zorc said it wasn't happening straight away. after a week or two he said Gundogan would move on and that was the article you've linked.

The only thing crazy here is you lot.

Muller for 58 million pound would be bang on and would be an unbelievable signing.

Sky Italia don't seem to have any story on Darmian, so it's odd that they have given their scoop to Sky UK! :pac:

But we should know for sure by Sunday . . .

Urban Cairo, the Torino president, admitted Darmian could leave to seek Champions League football though claimed his future would have to be decided before the club’s summer training starts on Sunday. “Everyone who comes to the pre-season training camp will remain with us for the rest of the season,” he told La Stampa.

“Sunday will be the deadline. Three offers have arrived for Darmian, but out of respect for the clubs who have made them, I won’t reveal who they are. Darmian is an extraordinary player who will want to try and win the Champions League one day.”

Guys and gals.

You are walking down the street and you bump into a multi billionaire. He walks up to you and says "hey, you, it's your lucky day. I'm going to give you a car. Not just any car, a super car"

"Fcuking hell!" you blurt out. "Jesus, thanks a million pal"

"No problem! So what car would you like?"

"Hmm let me think. I love the Porsche 918 Spider, but the McLaren P1 is also amazing...and the Ferrar..."

"Doesn't matter my friend"...interrupts the billionaiore..."for I am a billionaire and such costs are well within my well-marshalled budget. Tomorrow, please meet me in that hypercar salesroom, conveniently located over there, and tell me what car you want."

So the next day, you meet the billionaire and choose the Porsche. What a car, you are going to score many many times over and become the most popular guy.

The billionaire pulls out a chequebook and begins to write a checque for £750,000.

Immediately, you realise the billionaire is paying over what you think the correct price to be, even though you haven't a clue of his finances or his means. You interject...

"Sir, that is a crazy amount of money to be spending on that car. I mean sure, I'll get all this great enjoyment for none of my own money, but it's ridiculously priced in all honestly.

The billionaire, using his many years of experience and tact gained in the business world over the last 35 years, responds with guile and ease.

"Go fcuk yourself"




So what's the lesson? When a billionaire offers to buy you something nice, don't worry about the price. Just worry about enjoying the Thomas Muller car.

Not seen anything, but there's a massive fawning over him from fans of Italian football over on Reddit, who seem to think it's a massive undervaluing of him to get him so cheap. The constant example, for instance, is he is significantly better than Clyne yet we are getting him at near the same price. "Best RB in Serie A" is what keeps getting banded about :P

WOOHOOOOO
FINALLY ED IS STRIKING A DEAL!!!!!!!

RobertKK

Sport Witness (SW) say Sport1.de are really happy with their exclusive as it is their own information. SW say they are a concrete source for information.
They also say that Muller and Guardiola had a misunderstanding on Monday and Muller had to apologise to keep the peace.

Mitch Connor

For what it is worth, apparently Phil Townsend (United PR head) is apparently telling the press it is close. PT would be staight batting "I know nothing about that" if there wasn't serious movement for Darmain.

United bidding for him, if true, is a million miles away from signing him. Also, while there may be some issues between Muller and Pep, that may not be an ongoing issue. Plenty of talk that Pep will be going to City next summer (current contract ends then, iirc) so I would imagine the head honchos at Bayern would be telling Muller to bide his time cause they aren't going to be keen to see Muller leaving, ever.

Do you have proof of this?
As in literal quotes.

Hardly a good PR officer to be speaking to the public, before a deal is concluded.
