Did he say that today? I thought the player himself had decided he's not going there. Maybe there's still a chance then.

In his interviewing after the game against Man U.
I paraphrase but that is the jist of what he said.
It sounded like it was either Borini or Liverpool that was undecided, that Sunderland were still keen.
Perhaps we are just waiting on Mario's signiture.

I'd imagine that when we confirm Balotelli, it should allow Borini to happen.

Angel Di Maria is ready to leave Real Madrid to join Manchester United. Earlier today Carlo Ancelotti said goodbye to the winger during a press conference, and Xabi Alonso confirmed the transfer on Twitter. This evening Manchester United and Real Madrid will meet in London to close the deal. General director Jose Angel Sanchez will represent the merengues. Manchester United will spend around 80 million euro to acquire him, the amounts of the set fee and the bonuses still needs to be determined. Di Maria is on his way to United, Van Gaal is waiting for him.

Yeah I agree. I listened to Poyet's post-match interview and he was saying the time has come for a Yay or a Nay but really he is keen on Borini .... I think LFC are the ones holding this up as we wait for Balotelli to sign.

[h2]Manchester United have been stunned after Real Madrid demanded a British record fee of £75million for Angel Di Maria.[/h2]

The Argentina international has made the European champions aware that Old Trafford is his preferred destination and said goodbyes to his team-mates on Saturday with United growing increasingly confident of clinching a deal but the price-tag has come as a shock.

They had expected a valuation of up to £56m, similar to the figures discussed by rivals Paris St Germain last week, but Madrid, sensing United's desperation to land a stellar signing, have upped the price.

The deal is not off but, with a week left in the window, it leaves United battling against time to barter down to a figure they believe is more acceptable.

Madrid's president Florentino Perez sees Di Maria as their best chance to redress their summer spending and the 26-year-old's departure would also allow them to bring in another non-EU player in Radamel Falcao from Monaco.

They know United have money to spend and want to use that to squeeze out as much as possible.

It would represent a huge profit on the £20m they paid Benfica for Di Maria in 2010 and, coupled with his £180,000 a week wages, represent a huge outlay for United - smashing the current British record of Chelsea's £50m for Fernando Torres in 2011.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Di Maria said goodbye to his team-mates ahead of the impending move.

'Di Maria has not trained with us today and he came in to say goodbye to the players and people at the club,' Ancelotti told a news conference in Madrid.

'There is nothing official yet but it is being sorted out. The decision is his and the club has done what it could to keep him here.'

The two clubs meanwhile are also in discussions over a deal for United's young right-back Guillermo Varela.

The 21-year-old was David Moyes's first official signing from Penarol for £1.75m but Madrid want him to join up with Zinedine Zidane and their B team Castilla. They have asked for a loan which could become a permanent £4m deal.

I'm concerned that Sunderland have the upper hand in this Borini deal now. I presume we've let them know that Borini couldn't go unless we got a replacement, now we have, they might aswell tell us that the 14mill is withdrawn and they'll take him on loan only, knowing that'll we'll most likely agree and we lose out on 14mill and they save 14mill. I hope we hardball them and tell them to fuck off, either 14mill as agreed or we'll keep him as 4th choice and he'll get about 5 games this season.

String them along it they decide they now won't pay the £14m ... until the last day of the window.
 
Apparently Borini is the one holding the deal up according to some on the official Sunderland forum.
We've accepted Sunderland's offer but he doesn't want to move there on a permanent deal, but he's OK with going there on loan.

Borini either wants to stay and fight for his place or go to a better team than Sunderland (Napoli are apparently looking at him).

I don't think Remy is interested in a sidewards step.

Why not? Sunderland will stay up and QPR will probably go down. At least if they continue to play Rio and Dunne.
Playing infront of 40,000 crazy Mackems or 15,000 at Loftus Road, I'd probably move to Sunderland.
They love their strikers.

I don't think he'd give up London for that, plus I imagine he's on a much bigger packet at QPR, also it'll effectively stop any bigger clubs coming in for him for the next year, he'll stay or move to a top 6 team imo.
 
Would have thought they'll have to pay a fair whack more than that, if people pay 12mill for long. It was only so cheap for us as we were in the champions league and he had a clause.
 
I don't think Di Maria is worth the 60-70M.

Fantastic player but his overall end product does not justify the price tag on him.

He seems to have a 1 goal per 30 shots ratio when I watch him.

If he can improve his outlay then he's definitely worth it.
 
Is di Maria really so much better than Sanchez? As in to the tune of £35m? Actually, Sanchez is almost certainly a better player, so either Arsenal got the bargain of the century or utd are about to pay massively, hugely, gargantuan-ly over the odds. Record breaking overpayment?
 
I'll be surprised if Sanchez finishes this season ranked as a better player than Di Maria. There won't be 35m between them but I reckon Ancelloti is letting one of his top 3 walk out the door.
 
Liverpool's Sweden Under-21 international winger Kristoffer Peterson is set to sign for Dutch Eredivisie club FC Utrecht on a season-long loan. The 19-year-old, who had a spell at Tranmere last season, is much admired by Utrecht coach Robbie Alflen, who toldAlgemeen Dagblad:
"On the wings, he will be most dangerous, he has power and is absolutely a good addition. Of course I want a player like him in my squad".​
 
More on Arsenal and the Daily Express says the Gunners could bring in another three players before the transfer window closes. The paper says Arsene Wenger is ready to make another move for Real Madrid's Sami Khedira while France Under-21 midfielder Adrien Rabiot is also a target with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly willing to accept a cut-price deal of £9.5m. Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld is also being considered after falling out of favour at Atletico Madrid.

Mirror has a line linking Arsenal with a move for Wolfsburg's Brazilian midfielder Luis Gustavo. It is reported that Arsene Wenger sent scouts to run the rule over Gustavo at the weekend.
 
According to the Mirror, Hull City boss Steve Bruce hopes to make it third time lucky with a £12m-plus offer for Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes.

Sanchez certainly scores considerably more goals than di Maria. Indeed, whilst I'm no la Liga expert, I've always considered Sanchez to be a more generally threatening player. Their respective stats certainly suggest that's the case.

Here's something Liverpool-related.

According to random news site, one Michael Ohana has arrived in Liverpool from Israel for a trial:

From Youtube:


Anyone knoe anything about him? ....or what "Ohana" means??

Never heard of him ... and a 'prodigy' in Israel is like ... uuuh ... nothing worth getting excited about.

As for "Ohana," it's a common last name of Jews from Spanish/Moroccan ancestry. As for meaning - not really sure. @jimmy?
