I think sounding out what the player wants or even agreeing in principal some personal terms is common practice before a formal bid is submitted.

In this case I'm more concerned with our bid being accepted... After us dithering for ages over the payment structure for Soldado; I can see a desperate Liverpool or even United offering a much more generous structure.

I think as someone stated a few weeks back Sherwoods role is a lot different to what we know and he is higher up then we think.
I'm not questioning Sherwood's role,I mean it in the sense that Willian must know what we are offering in terms of wages if he has chosen us over the other 2

The Agent will play a big part in this deal put it like that.....

And i not saying Man Utd havnt bid or Arsenal but it would be very strange for this not to be leaked if there bid was real. Mayb the Agent is misquoted when he spoke to the club he mite of ment they look like they will bid so pay up! ;)

Seems strange for United to be in for him with Ashley Young, Rooney, Nani, Valencia and Kagawa all fighting for positions behind RVP. But if they are in for Willian then we aren't even in contention.

They really want(ed) Fabregas and I think Willian is plan B for them.

I appreciate the info but i cant see man utd bidding for Willian, Baines and Fellaini all in one day with the amount of money being battered about but thats IMO.
I bet they're taking the shotgun approach. Sending out a bunch of offers to get the ball rolling and to see if shit sticks and then move from there. Surely they wouldn't sign Willian AND fellaini if both offers were to be accepted. It's just a responsible way to get things done quickly as they'll have deals in works for multiple (backup?) options.

Sorry no pic, he was decked out in a spurs track suite getting what looked like a few days worth of food from the BP MnS garage.

That's weird because I am sure I saw him at the game yesterday? (ie he wasn't watching it on TV) Thanks for passing on though.

Fabregas is a proper CM who could play alongside Carrick. They're really after a Scholes replacement and I don't think Willian is that.

Me neither, but I also think that Kagawa is incredible player and they probably don't. Also Willian is very versatile, covers lot of positions.

Sorry, don't believe Sherwood would be telling our transfer dealings on a petrol station forecourt
Not saying he wouldn't give info but not sure it could be true or up to date. I bet it's further along than he let on

I can't see Levy matching the 50% future fee of Liverpool if that is true. I could though, see him kicking a bit extra into the agent's fee to avoid competing with such an offer.

I hope so, couple of posters in the Willian thread saying he was at the game too.
