A player that we were not publicly in for , who has not yet signed for a club, that has allegedly gazumped another club, who hadn't declared interest but have now been snubbed.

Welcome to the transfer window.

Not sure we were even in for him, has anyone at the club publicly spoken about it? It's all a smokescreen for other target imo. Maybe Alaba or someone similar?

I´m afraid everything except perhaps our possible interest in any player is speculation.
 
the 3 united fans ive seen so far have said, in various ways, "why do you care? he's old anyway".

i agree. and he sounds like a total tit.

Or just go the Pep 11 midfielders "binary" Formation from the off. 0-11-0.

What a good idea.

The defence has always been our weak spot so why gamble big money to improve it lets keep the ball more and generate even more shots on goal with hopefully a bigger percentage of the shots hitting the actual target than last year.

Goals galore in our favour with just a few against us.

Agree that it is a strange turn of events as I would have had a hard time imagining Dani turning Pep & City down but certainly money talks and as I alluded to in an earlier post, the player (€14 million vs €5 million is an easy choice for 99/100 people) sought to consolidate his finances after having mismanaged quite a bit prior to his divorce

That being said, I think it's quite a blow to Pep, City & their transfer plans and season ahead. Sporting wise, a real disappointment since I would have loved to see Dani reunited with Pep and the attack that City will boast. But PSG truly is a Brasilian carnivale with Paris a great locale for a newly wed couple who likely prefer the haute couture of Paris to that of Manchester

Surprising though in the end, for me. Gotta believe Dani gave City an opportunity to match the offer as I can scarcely imagine he would hang Pep out to dry

If his wife wanted Paris...not sure City matching PSG offer would have made any difference to his decision
It's a minor inconvenience not a major blow to our transfer plans imo
No guarantee he would have reproduced last seasons form for Juve in the PL or CL for us

Alls fair in love and football...

Just illustrates how much of a piece of deception this was - particularly meeting with Pep and not having the decency to call when it was off

If that's the case, it's almost malicious & a bit strange tbh.

I can see why he'd go there, if he thinks we are getting someone like Walker, with whom he would have to share the position. But why he has done it in that manner, I don't understand.

He's let Pep down, badly.
 
Don't know why people are calling him out for signing for more money than we offered him, that's exactly how we got the big names since the takeover

Probably because he said any move wasn't money motivated & how he'd turned down more money from Chelsea! It's the principle rather than anything elseC I'm not overly bothered he's signed for another club but I am bothered how he's gone about it. What comes next is him publicly humiliating us I can imagine "who are Man City" or similar bollocks. The media will lap it up & we'll look the c*nts not Alves.

Exactly, if we were not employed and had 2 offers with one offering twice as much money as the other which one would we choose ?
Perhaps we would send a thanks but no thanks to the loser but maybe he has done that anyway.

I've turned down more money in the past as the other job offered better prospects long term.. Issue is he said it wasn't about the money but it clearly is!
