They're now saying Barca are favourites to sign the brazilian magician. Sorry but didn't Laporta himself say that they couldn't afford Ronaldinho and the PSG boss laughed off the idea of taking Riquleme to Paris. Obviously this is more tactics from the scummy french club PSG to bump the price up even further or once again have United's stalling cost us another world class player?

Will PSG call uniteds bluff though?!?!?!
Roll on 6pm!
Roll on 6pm!
United have set a deadline of 6pm today (UK Time) to make a decision either way or the offer for the Brasilian will be withdrawn:
-----------------
"Negotiations between Manchester United and Paris St Germain and representatives of Ronaldinho have been ongoing for several weeks," said a United statement. "In order to bring talks to a conclusion the club has spoken again to Paris St Germain and the players' representatives and following our final written offer submitted on Friday morning, we have notified all parties that unless an agreement is reached by 7pm Central European time today, Manchester United will withdraw from the process."
-----------------
I think it is a positive move by United and hopefully it will be good news.

The French always will try to keep players for as long as possible, and quite often get their FA involved if someone gets upset: No wonder Cantona branded them "Pigs and idioits".
Also, the French have a lot of faith in their league, and national team. For God's sake, Calais, who were in the National (French Division 3, but they were recently relegated I think) got to the cup final!

Not really, because everyone in world football can see what an ar$e he is and would think twice about negotiating with him in the future, unless of course they have a spare 4 months or so?

Well at least Fergie and United have learned something from all this. Don't ever deal with french clubs.
It is greed, yes, but it's also clever. Because he knows he can get it.
Yeh, but that could be said about any transfer?
What if Leeds held Liverpool to ransome over Kewell and dragged the transfer on and on over 4/5 months?
What if all transfer's were like this?
Holding out for a large sum of money is one thing but when your talking nearly £20 mil? and he wants more.....
I call that greed.

He's no Ronaldinho, but as you say Ronnie could turn out like Veron...

I think there's a lot of BS going on here.
Graile is trying to get every penny out of United possible.
I truly dont believe Barca are in Pole position, but it's a simple ploy to make United increase their offer.
La Porta was quoted as saying he would not get involved in an Aution yet thats exactly what he has done today? - that makes no sense.
