SM Tony 18,601 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Re: Official Red Devils Thread A lot of papers today going on about Falcao lieing about his age? That he is really 30 but said he was 28. Not sure how there can be confusion, I'm sure correct and proper documents can prove this. Perhaps just something for the papers to write about. A few more papers reporting that Mata is all bout leaving in January. Also herd Vidal played a full 90min international match and claims he has no problems with his knee. It could be a case of media trying to hype it up as an excuse why VG did not sign him. I can see Mata leaving some time soon. Wether it's a make weight for Vidal we will see.

Maxpayne 11,112 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Re: Official Red Devils Thread Easily' date=' can't see Roma knocking that back. Although, a bit to much for him.[/color'] im not saying its not going to happen, but it might not happen in january. A scenario in which it might not happen during january could aswell be one where Roma is doing incredibly good in the CL group stages and have a real good chance of going through to the next round. That might make Roma want to keep Strootman until the end of the season in order to try and go through and maybe advance even further in the competition. If manchester comes knocking with 40 mil for strootman, i doubt we will refuse, but we might postphone it to the summer. It really depends on how things go for Roma from now til january in the Serie A and CL imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couple of years back Colombian papers found "the real" birth certificate of Falcao. Turned out to be a load of crap and he has since produced his real birth certificate.

AniAniAni 11,625 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Re: Official Red Devils Thread The Vidal-boat has sailed in my opinion - I don't think he'll be interested in joining United again (that is if he ever was), unless Allegri really makes a mess of things at Juve (Ã la last season at Milan), in which case I'd imagine quite a few other clubs to be in some form on contention again (probably more appealing). And for the price, I'd imagine that United would be keener on getting someone six years younger and probably with more potential and less injury worries, albeit for a higher price (15-20M more) in the form of Pogba. But even so, I don't think he's even remotely interested in coming back, and looks like the kind of person who would probably choose for one of United's rivals to rub it in their faces even more. Strootman has been brought up quite a few times in the last couple of days, but for the reported price (40M), I don't think he's worth it to be honest. And with PSG allegedly willing to offer Rabiot as part of the deal, I don't think Roma will choose for the extra millions, not with the way the current market is. Roma do have another very interesting player in the form of Radja Nainggolan though. It would be interesting to see how GarcÃa changes his setup once Strootman is completely fit again, with De Rossi, Nainggolan, Pjanic, Florenzi and also a rejuvenated Seydou Keita to choose from. Nainggolan is exactly what a club like United need - a player with grit. EDIT: Like Kirky already mentioned, the Falcao stories are rubbish and are just being popped up again to fill up the blank spaces. SM Tony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
