Transfers and Rumours - old thread

All I can say is Athletic are absolute nightmare to deal with.They just forced us to pay extra amount despite them not even getting a single penny from that....and they also probably caused Herrara's salary to go down...We overpaid for him but signing him will make us look a bit less desperate when pursuing other targets....

Took you long enough to understand that. Barca wanted to sign Laporte and Martinez but couldn't get them to negotiate.

Yeah, that's how they roll. I understand why Zubi is reluctant to try to get Laporte.

We won't sign any athletic players so that zubi doesn't offend his old club....

Is United actually spending 50m on Ander Herrera??

Why is Van Gaal going for Herrera an old United target . He must have his own options in mind

According to France Football, PSG is interested in Serge Aurier that still has not signed with Arsenal (which seems to be a good things for us, that means he's waiting to see if PSG will move for him ).

PSG is hesitating between Aurier and Abate. Both would cost the same fee.

Apparently Bilbao's twitter a/c just unfollowed Herrara..

Getting serious

Getting serious

It was official more than an hour ago....Now press are reporting that Shaw is undergoing his medical at Carrington.....

Congratulations you just paid his buy-out clause + tax. How does that feel?

i thought the tax on it would be much higher, i read elsewhere that with taxes included it would cost over £50 million, which is why i found it inconceivable that united would pay that amount, obviously that information was wrong. 7.2 million euro is not too bad, we have still over payed for him but i don't really care about that, i am just relieved we finally signed a good midfielder after waiting 7 years for one...

in other news many of the papers over here are saying on twitter that luke shaw is having his medical at united, stories to follow on the websites, will be confirmed tomorrow apparently, the fee is said to be £27 million with add ons. it is a lot of money, he'll be our left back for the next 12 years at least tho so worth it in my opinion...

He paid his own buyout clause with the exact amount of money we gave him so it wasn't see as any income so there was no tax on top if it at all, it was just the 36 Million is what is generally being reported isn't it? Where is all this tax money coming from?

well people here are saying that income tax had to be paid on it, although that has not been reported by any of the papers, so i don't know to be honest, i agree with you that i don't understand why it would be considered as income for herrera as he hasn't kept a penny of it for himself...

Snap your hand off for him. Surely you wont sell him though?

Edit: Never saw so many clubs linked to him, wow, his stats are great arent they? 40 goals in 80 from presumably the wing.
