We are being linked with Ruben Pardo of Real Sociedad. Now, I will happily admit that I do not follow Spanish football and have never heard of him. He is reputed to be the "next Cesc Fabregas" and available for only £2 million or so. Can anyone tell me anything about him and whether the reports linking him to MUFC might be true?
Mike B.
Great news we need more Pardo (e)'s
He looks a decent prospect real madrid were reported to be looking at him but he's only 20 a Prospect at best surely
For £2m where is the risk. could be the next michu
23 May 2013 21:43:12
Ed's out of di Maria, cr7 and bale who is the most probable we will sign.
Thanks, Dave {Ed004's Note - Di Maria imo}
23 May 2013 19:41:16
Paul Scholes is being lined up by Pep Guardiola to join him as part of the coaching staff at Bayern Munich
23 May 2013 21:23:57
Personally I think that is an excellent idea. He would learn loads over there which he could bring back and use to help us with in a few years time. I doubt he'll go though as he is a family man and wouldn't want to up root his kids.
Complete rubbish, why would he go to Germany and work under Pep? Paul Scholes is dubbed by the best players in the world as the best and most complete midfielder in history, don't think there is much he needs to learn to be honest.
He said in his interview with Gary Neville that he quite likes the idea of becoming a manager and "teaching football the way it's meant to be played"
Ozwald
He has nothing about playing football to learn (apart from maybe tackling). But he has a great deal to learn about coaching, and as he has never experianced anything outside of United in his playing career then I think coaching abroad would teach him a great deal.
Lets not be ignorant and think that the United way is the only or best way to teach/train players. There is a lot to be learned from other cultures and other teams. Especially from a team in the champions league final and possibly the best club side in the world on current form.
Like I said, I don't think he would go due the family reasons. But I think he should if the oppertunity turns up.
He is most likely to go to Oldham as he is a bigs latics fan. He hates being away from his family to so Munich is a no go
23 May 2013 17:29:03
Really hope the Fabregas rumours are true, Eds do you believe there is any substance to them?
Thanks,
Paul {Ed007's Note - Sorry Paul, I can't see Fabregas leaving Barca any time soon.}
23 May 2013 12:09:25
Apparently Real Madrid are interested in Isco. Would be a shame cause he's a player we need/want.
How do you know we want Isco? He plays a very similar position to Kagawa.
Ozwald {Ed004's Note - No Isco plays out wide left and comes inside whereas Kagawa is better starting off inside}
An attack line of isco kagawa and one of Rodriguez/lamela/reus would be perfect in behind Rvp
19JackC94
Yeah his preferred position is to play more central though and you often find him in most games playing through the middle, he can play out wide left much better than kagawa. When he first turned up at Malaga Santi Carzola was already in that role so Isco was played out wide!
Anyway the point I was trying to make was how the original poster knew he's a target for us.
Ozwald
23 may 2013 11:53:27
it looks like psg are now after di maria another target about to go
cmon we need new blood
You do know the season only ended last week?You can't sign players at the click of a button in the real world.

Today's press reporting we are interested, again, in Benzema. Same report says Rooney and Fabregas off to PSG. Rooney to earn £15m pa, after tax!
I really hope we don't chase Benzema, he didn't want to come tows a few years ago and he's not really been great at Real Madrid.
That must be some wage as I think tax in France is about 75%
Or maybe it's not true
Jred
Perhaps it would be paid through Amazon or Google!
Lol, that might be the next tax loop hole
Jred
He's not been great? in his 2nd and 3rd season he scored 26 and 32goals and a lot of assists
this season it was just the 19goals but still got 20 assists
87 goals and 45 assists in the last three seasons is great especially since Ronaldo would be the one being supplied most of the goals rather than Benzema
23 May 2013 09:32:24
honingstein just reported lewy has told dortmund he will only sign for bayern, scratch him off, we will not b signing him.
mick the red fireman.
Honingstein knows as much as us mate, its all just mind games before CL final
Chris the REDman
Redman is right, plus Lewandowski has suggested he wanted to move to the Premier League and specifically Manchester United before so we may have a chance.
22 May 2013 23:05:47
Sly Spurts reporting Ronny has put his house up for sale as Utd hold talks with his agent
We can all dream
I Can't seem to find this?
I would wet myself ;)
On Tw*tter there's a lot on how Ronaldo wants United move

Not heard that one anywehere.
A lot of reports suggesting it's Chelsea Ronaldo is moving to.

If you're refering to the post on twitter - the account which first posted this was one of the many fake twitter accounts posting rubbish at the moment!
redseven
23 May 2013 10:22:24
lol did you see that on twitter?
RedDub, have you read the article regarding Ronaldo/Chelsea?
All Calderon did was name three clubs who could possibly afford to buy Ronaldo if RM did sell him. He named PSG, City & Chelsea. That is it. Somehow that deserved a headline of "Chelsea in pole position to land Ronaldo". I think lazy journalism has taken a new low.
Sydney!
Like Ronny needs to sell before he moves. Come on guys, don't base your rumours on YOUR circumstances, these guys are mega rich
I saw this a couple of day ago in a thread in manutd. com. I saw the house listed on sale and a video of Cristiano's house, it does looks like his.
That's strange just drove past it in prestbury no sign outside he's going no where
How does Calderon know the finances of all of the top clubs.
DHK
22 May 2013 20:49:26
Rooney nani anderson evra out
Bale/Cr7 baines in
Thing is I can't see Ron coming back now Fergie isn't in charge, SAF would big a big influence in the move and he'd be the only one IMO to make sure Cristiano's ego and profile wouldn't disrupt the team.
Ozwald
Fellaini, Baines, Fabregas in
Get a grip, bale is staying
I hope bale is sold to us! don't want cr7.
Football manager syndrome strikes again
Fellaini, Tiago, De Maria and Shaw are what I'd like, but all I know is we've got zaha.

22 May 2013 20:15:24
ED02 as you have strong connections in France are reports that James Rodriguez is due to move to Monaco correct?
RED91 {Ed002's Note - Sure.}
22 May 2013 19:46:50
Edd any truth in the rumour that Rooney has opened talks with psg?
Dc {Ed004's Note - Possibly and hopefully}
Hope he does. I don't see Ronaldo returning unless Rooney is off. I don't know how many of you realize, rooney has serious ego and jealousy issues with Ronaldo. i'm not even counting the world cup winking part. but Rooney can't and won't tolerate being second to Ronaldo. I have a gut feeling Rooney knows Ronaldo is returning back at Old Trafford so he is not interested in staying.
This is another reason why Rooney is so pissed with Sir Alex as he rates Ronaldo way over Rooney and was desperate for his return.
Ronaldo would partner Persie with a free role and with Rooney not int in midfield, he is better off.
Fellaini and Ronaldo would be awesome. If Ronaldo return fails. expect Rooney to stay!
Front 3 of RVP, Kagawa and Ronaldo. A return to the free flowing days of 2008 with Fellaini adding some steel in midfield and Baines or Shaw long term replacement for Evra. Jones and Vidic as preferred choice centre back pairing.
And part-financed by Time To Go Rooney?
Order that Champs League Final 2014 ticket now ladies :) {Ed004's Note - With Fellaini in midfield I don't think we have a chance of getting to the champions league final unless he has xavi and iniesta beside him tbh and even then he would struggle}
Fellaini is the missing piece for me. We have been crying out for somebody that can hold onto the ball and have a presence in midfield, aerial and power, Carrick has been quality this season but he would be even better if he didn't have to do it all himself in midfield.
Sween
Fellaini isn;t the answer to our problems. he seems like a slightly more mobile version of duncan ferguson. he does drop deep but he fleets in and out. He would be easy to nullify. He may be use as an impact sub if conventional means are not working but I wouldn;t pay 20 mill for a sub.
So who would you, nameless one, play in our midfield besides Fellaini? There's the legend Giggs who is 40, there's Ceverley who is mid-table quality at best, Anderson, who is great for 10mins in every 8th game per season. That leaves the impecable Carrick, the excellent Jones, (but is weak on the passing front in midfield), Powell who may or may not make it, look great in the lower league mind you and Shinji who isn't a true midfielder but a player made to play in the "Hole". I think Fellaini, who can play in front of the back4, box to box or 2nd striker and Tiago, for guile and picking the killer pass, whould transform our midfield from being the weakest of the top 4 to the strongest.
Mik
Fellaini is a great player in a good squad that's why he stands out I think he's a lazy loose cannon 2bh. any midfielder will do IMO just hope we sign a few. thaigo would be a good option if we don't get cesc they both have them key attributes granted thaigo will take time to settle. we need another lb/rb shaw/Ranocchia/baines either will do again. get rid of all that access weight that do nout people know who them players are. and 1 stand out signing would b nice. I wonder if well go for witzel.
22 May 2013 18:20:06
Eds, are we interested in Thiago Alacantra? Thanks {Ed004's Note - Possibly}
If we are not then we should be. Perfect replacement for Scholes, awesome alongside Strootman. Problem is where would Carrick and Kagawa fit as we'd need at least one wide man.
He'd fit perfectly in in a 3 just ahead of Carrick and hopefully beside Strootman then our width can come from our fullbacks!
LP
Strootman is a good player, but not the all round wonder some of you guys on here think he is. I think he is being watched on YouTube and not in his daily job. I'd take Carrick Fellaini and Tiago midfield, playing behind RVP, Kagawa and de maria up front. Strootman can go to Naples or Palma or some mid table Italian outfit instead.
Mik
22 May 2013 16:42:56
So considering we clearly need to improve our wings, and the names being thrown around are Rodriguez, Gaitan, Di Maria etc. I haven't heard Jesus Navas mentioned. I know he's a target of City, but are any of the Eds aware of possible interest from us? {Ed004's Note - Haven't heard of any}
Dosnt he get home sick, even on away games? I can't see it happening
For me he's the exact same type of player as valencia
He gets incredibly homesick- to the point that he doesn't like playing for spain because he has to travel. Weird if you ask me, but there you have it.
22 May 2013 15:28:22
Marouane Fellaini edges closer to United move as some bookies slash there odds to 1/2.

Manchester United prepare �18m bid for Thiago Alcantara as that would trigger his release clause.
Source: Marca and givemefootball
Welsh Red
Fellaini has signed a five year contact with Manchester United
22 May 2013 13:14:14
Marca ran a story a few hours ago regarding Thiago Alcantara. Apparently he has a release clause of 18 million euros (something to do with not meeting a certain number of appearance or something). Now I know release clauses are not really anything to go by, but with his contract ending in 2015 (unlikely that he'll renew considering the little playing time he gets at Barcelona) and the relatively low price of the clause, I would think he'd be very attainable this window. 30 million euros for Strootman and Thiago would be reasonable I think, and give us that engine in midfield we've been needing for a few seasons now. Add in a winger and an LB and that could be a great summer for us!
Always have a feeling when I comes to Thiago that he'd want to return back to Barca as soon as Xavi hangs up his boots, much in the same way Fabregas did. Them barca boys are like that, Pique?
Ozwald
I think Thiago has been one of the 3 or 4 long term targets SAF has mentioned before. Albeit he's not manager anymore.
Supasub
I think that would be a great addition for our squad, another spainiard so ddg will feel more at home plus when barca do eventually come back knocking for him as they always do, imagine how much his price would have inflated
19JackC94
Would love Thiago here, I heard a rumour in March from someone who knew someone who was best mates with SAF's cat :) yup one of those rumours. Then later in March Alcantara's dad said his son needed to move and there were a couple of newspaper reports linking him with us, but since then its been deathly quiet till the last week or so.
I fear his agents know he is on the way out from Barca and is just trying to drum up interest. Though as many others have sais Strootman and Alcantara would be 2 perfect signings for us.
22 May 2013 15:07:11
Ballague was asked about this and he said he would stay at Barca
Would you complain at having Thiago here for 4/5 years Ozwald if he did then want to go back. Ronaldo always wanted to play for Madrid before he came here and you also mention Fabregas. 4/5 years service of top talent is fine by me. I mean do you see RVP playing for us far beyond 4 years bearing his age then dare I mention Sheringham and Cantona? From what I have seen of Thiago, mainly for Spain U21s he certainly looks a top talent and I can't think of many other players who would be more ideal in terms of replacing Paul Scholes, impossible as it is
Invisible STuey
I'm not exactly in favour of it mate, no! Yes he's a top class player no doubt but there are others out there in a similar mould that could stay at the club for longer. Ronaldo did want to leave you're right but when it was the best player in the world I think it was a bit different. Another thing, have we managed to find anyone to fill the void left by Ronnie? No. Not exactly ideal.
Ozwald
Everyone keeps mentioning we were linked to thiago earlier in the year but dunno if anyone have realised we got a new boss now and surely he got his own transfer targets, b abit of a strange one if he wants all the same players as saf wouldn't it
I agree Ozwald, however Ronaldo is virtually irreplaceable, a club is lucky to have one player this good in a decade. i'm not saying Thiago is anywhere near being in that bracket, however he certainly looks to be potentially a world class player so I would be more than happy for him to come to us even if in 4 or 5 years he has desires to move back. And yes i'm sure has Moyes has his own ideas no name, but for £15-18m there really can't be many players of Thiagos potential talent out there, I think there will be a lot of clubs after Thiago for sure
Invisible STuey
22 May 2013 12:33:41
I do think there is something going on regarding Barcelona/United. We have been heavily linked to Cesc Fabregas recently. Could those links have been mistaken for another Barcelona player? Possibly Thiago?
Sydney!
I don't think there is anything going on unfortunately. Graham Hunter wrote about Thiago in March I think, nothing came of it. He is also someone who keeps going on about Neymar signing a pre contract with Barcelona which we know is not true, so I don't know how much to believe him.
REDFAITH
Possibly Sanchez?
19JackC94
22 May 2013 14:05:09
This rumour is heating up again on twitter at the moment.
GEG
REDFAITH, I think there has been past interest and I see no reason why we wouldn't revisit the idea seems as Scholes has retired. He shares the same club and agency as Cesc, so could Thiago be the one we are enquiring about and the journos getting the wrong player? For 18m euros he would be a bargain. I imagine Pep would be interested but where would he play in that midfield?
Ed002, any info regarding Thiago?
Sydney! {Ed002's Note - There is perhaps a chance that Thiago Alcantara will move in the summer with Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Manchester United likely to be interested - only if he is wanting a move.}
Fabregas would be great
22 May 2013 12:09:19
Man Utd are in pole position to sign Thiago Alcantara according to Graham Hunter! red91
We have been linked numerously to Cesc who shares an agency with Thiago. Could there have been some sort of contact with the agency and journalists have jumped to the wrong conclusions?
Sydney!
Alcantara is one of the most technically gifted players in the world. 18m would be daylight robbery! Ed has anything changed on the Alcantara front?
Dan {Ed002's Note - There is perhaps a chance that Thiago Alcantara will move in the summer with Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Manchester United likely to be interested - only if he is wanting a move.}

Hi edds
Do you know roughly who our ins ands outs could be? {Ed004's Note - No idea}
Nani, Bebe, Anderson, Macheda, Fabio? Wootton, Lindegaard, Rooney? Brown, Giverin.
Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Yeah I reckon they will all leave except Fabio and not 100% on Lindengaard but he has been disappointing this year. Are there any experienced keepers available for free to cover De Gea next year?}
Ed004, I would imagine interest in Begovic must have dropped due to DDG coming on leaps and bounds since Christmas. Begovic will not join to sit on the bench and DDG will not be happy on the bench. So now we must find a GK who is happy to fight it out with DDG who doesn't expect to play every game. It is very difficult to find an experienced keeper good enough to be first choice, but is happy to be second choice. Personally I think we should have kept VDS on as back-up and bought DDG. Perhaps Tim Howard as a number two ;)
Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Would Tim Howard want to be a number 2 as he is playing on a regular basis for Everton.}
Ed004, exactly, it is difficult. Everton were looking at GK's last season I believe so maybe his Everton career is nearing an end?
Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Is that not to replacement the number 2 that is leaving?}
You are probably right Ed, can you think of anyone who could fit the bill?
Sydney! {Ed004's Note - No unless Friedel is leaving Spurs and is on a free?}
Brad friedel (excuse spelling)
19JackC94
Eiji Kawashima? Every time I watch Japan play he does pretty well, anyone else seen him?

Actually we have Amos Johnstone and gollini all of which I rate whom could fill in
Apparently Shay Given is available on a free

Rio is in talks with west ham and united have interest in Luke shaw and fabregas
Forget Fabregas, let's play Kagawa! He is such a good player, far better than his half hour cameos over the last season have really shown. Rio has just signed a one year extension so not Hammers bound.
Kagawa can't play as a central midfielder, he's an AM if you're talking in football manager terms.
Rio Ferdinand has just signed a new contract
Sounds like you've been playing too much FIFA 13 Career Mode.

United to bid 7m for Southampton LB Shaw according to Daily Mail, think he would be a good buy IMO
Winston
The lads an avid Chelsea fan I don't think he'll be here mate. Chelsea have him lined up as well according to the Eds. Shame because he's going to be a top player, but then there are plenty of alternatives like Digne and Sandro.
Dan
Said before he'd be the best LB signing we could make, he's physically big enough already for the PL and he's only 17! Only going to get better and better with age.
Ozwald
Good player, but will almost certainly end up playing for his beloved Chelsea. If ourselves or anyone else made a bid for him I imagine Chelsea will match it and he will choose them. I think Chelsea are happy to let him learn at Southampton for another season, but if their hand is forced I think they will sign him and loan him back to Southampton for a season.
Sydney!
However it does show that Moyes is seeing what we have all been seeing regarding Evra. He is our weakest link in defence and Moyes is clearly looking to strengthen it. It would be interesting if we were to offer Southampton Buttner or Fabio, but I cannot see Shaw personally choosing United over Chelsea. Southampton players have an habit of snubbing us.
Sydney!
It doesn't matter who he is a fan of. Zaha is a massive Arsenal fan and he still chose Utd over Arsenal so it doesn't matter. It where you're most likely to become successful and IMO that is UTD
Syd you're not slyly saying Bale snubbed us when he was at Southampton are you? As we all know that wasn't the case. What other players have? Also i'm curious, what's your opinion on Buttner to become a decent LB for us?
Ozwald
Oz, Bale, Walcott, AOC, Shearer, Le Tissier have all snubbed us one way or another.
Sydney!
Chelsea don't buy young english players.
If he leaves I don't think it will be for Chelsea, can you honestly see Mourinho being interested in Luke Shaw?
I bet he doesn't even know who he is.
Mourinho doesn't buy potential he buys proven talent that cost a shed load of money, always has always will.
Simmo
Danny Wallace was quick to join
Ashley Cole was quite young when he signed from Arsenal. Oscar is young. Hazzard is young. Lukaku is young. Shaw will be a Chelsea player.
Simmo, who says Jose will be buying the players? Sure he will have an input, but others at the club will probably have a bigger input.
Sydney!
I'm not to sure being a massive Chelsea fan will neccessarily mean he will go there, as no name says, Zaha is a massive Arsenal fan.
Also, don't forget Chelsea have Bertrand who is young so Shaw may see him as restricting his playing time as Bertrand has played quite a few games this season.
Shaw is world class. But he won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
He'll stay with Saints until he's 20/21 then move to Chelsea. It's Shaw's dream to play for Chelsea, he has publicly stated. And Chelsea are interested as Cole is ageing and Bertrand is pony.
Also he won't be going anywhere for the stated £7million. He has gone on record that he will sign a five year contract in June with Saints, then explore his options. Will be going for in the region of £20-£30 million by the time he does go (which will out price United for a 21 year old LB imo). Saints don't need to sell, and CL clubs can't afford to start a 17 year old. Won't be any action on this rumour for a good few years.
From a Saints fan. {Ed004's Note - Tbf I agreed with most of what you said except you contradicted yourself. If he is world class why couldn't a club afford to play in the Champions League? And lastly united could afford 20 million for a 21 year old regardless of their position Nani, Anderson etc all cost around that much}
Ed004 - good point. Let's say 'potentially world class' then ;) {Ed004's Note - Then I would agree with that he is a top player already though}
Sorry and your last point.
I didn't say you couldn't afford £20million. You obviously can. I just don't see United's policy of spending what could quite easily be £30million on an unproven 21 year old LB?
He still makes mistakes and is so far from the finished product. Even against stoke in our last game he got caught out of position for their goal (how you get caught out of position by Stoke is beyond me. dreadful defending).
Nani and Anderson both had CL experience and played for winning sides at the top of the portuguese liga (as far as I know?). Shaw plays for a side in the prem fighting relegation. would be a big call to waste £20-£30mil on him at 20/21 years old in my opinion. Think that reminds me of Chelsea's transfer policy (e. g. Wayne Bridge from us in 2003!) rather than yours. {Ed004's Note - Fair enough I get where you are coming from now. I thought it was Utd couldn't afford 30 million not that there policy wouldn't allow them to take the risk}
Saints fan, Shaw will go for a similar amount as what AOC went for.
You were very interested in Buttner last summer, do you think Southampton would consider Buttner plus cash?
Sydney!
No not at all! Just you're more sensible than that! Would prefer he went to United tbf. He's a good lad and would do well there.
But being realistic. English player, young, Saints don't need to sell, getting interest from Chelsea/Arsenal/United/City. whoever gets him would be paying WAY too much for him.
Anyway good luck this summer, should be interesting!
Syd
Do you really think he will come back to Chelsea and have somebody else above him picking what players he needs, I really don't think so do you?
Simmo
Simmo, I do not see Jose having 100% control of squad additions. He will have a big input, but I think before Roman sanctions such deals, he will get advice from a certain woman who he uses and advice from Emenalo.
Sydney!
Sydney,
Shaw will go for considerably more than AOC for a number of reasons:
1 - He's better. AOC was good at League 1 level for us. Shaw has been good at Prem level. Shaw has been dubbed 'better than Bale'.
2 - we were in league 1 when we sold AOC, he needed to go to further his career. We're in the prem now so we can offer first team prem football to our youngsters, they don't really want to go unless they can get guaranteed first team football at a bigger/better club, which is rare.
3 - We're financially sound now with all the prem/tv money coming in. We've got a stable board and a great set-up focussed on retaining our youth. Unlike before when we were a bit of a selling club.
You're right we were interested in Buttner. I don't think we'd do a swap deal though. Mostly because I honestly believe Shaw will be with us until his 20s. Which is at least 3 seasons away. A lot can change in 3 seasons! It's too far ahead to speculate.
Even assuming Shaw did go this summer. I still don't think we'd be that interested in Buttner for a swap. We were, reportedly, going to play him as LM because we thought his defending wasn't up to scratch - so he wouldn't be a like-for-like replacement. Having seen him play for you, personally I wasn't overwhelmed by him. Particularly his defending. Also his wages will probably be inflated due to playing for united. If we were to cash out on Shaw we'd make sure to get the full amount then look for a replacement on the cheap in Europe I think.
Having said that. I've seen stranger things happen!
Whatever happens, our chairman is an astute businessman and will make sure whoever gets Shaw pays through their nose for him.
If Shaw was sold this summer I do not see him selling for more than £15m. A fraction of that would be add-ons too. Also Buttner is on just £16k a week. I am sure that's not too high for you?
Sydney!
Would be a quality replacement for Patrice, Can't get better than Shaw or Lille's Lucas Digne but I'd go for Shaw as he English!
TomP
Sydney,
You're right about Buttners wage, we could afford that. Didn't realise he had such a low wage at United.
No chance Shaw would go for the same as AOC. Promise. Watched him week on week out. Different gravy to AOC. Best youth player I've seen at Saints.
Simmo, Emenalo is the technical director at Chelsea and he has the most input over transfer targets, I don't see that changing even if Mourinho comes in.

Vermarlen at arsenal on the move do you think moyesy might
make a bid £9m
bfro {Ed002's Note - No.}
Vermaelen is average at best, add that to him being injury prone and not being good enough for Arsenal, then you have to wonder why MU would buy him.
Sydney!

Ed will dortmund allow lewy to go to bayern after already letting gotze go they are there main rivals and it would spoil german football? {Ed002's Note - They would rather not, but eventually may not be able to stop it.}
Ed, will Utd make a move if Bayern are serious? Or is he not a priority signing for us? {Ed002's Note - Try the search funcion.}
I think the reason why goetze was snapped up really early was that bayern would have ample time negotiate for lewy all along the summer so that it does not look like a double raid by bayern to dortmund. and eventually will sign for bayern and not utd.
just a thought.

Ed 002, I know you have told us about the clubs interested in Rooney presently. You have also said that things may change if clubs are unable to get there preffered targets. While I understand that it is hard to speculate or talk about the future, but do you think he will be sold this season? Just your thoughts on this. You have mentioned numerous times that selling him may not seem as easy as it looks. Your insight would be great!
Deeps. {Ed002's Note - Tough to say. Right now I am still of the opinion he will stay at Old Trafford.}

Apparently James Rodriguez is wanted by Monaco, really hope we push and get him quality player can play as a winger or number 10, expect Anderson to be used to sweeten a possible deal.
- Ireland, J MUFC {Ed002's Note - I have explained before, MU will not pay the desired fee.}
To be honest the touted fee is ridiculous for a player who is in the Portuguese league and has not really proved himself in Europe. I would sooner go for Di Maria, an already class act proven at most levels if not all and for less money.
Di Maria is the same an Nani! Skilful, inconsistent and goes to ground too easy!
MS {Ed004's Note - I reckon he is a better version of Nani who works a lot harder on and by the looks of it off the pitch. He is also suit to Moyes hard working approach of the ball}

Falcao is moving to Monaco, done deal.
Andyp MUFC
For a year or 2 only I'd wager then he will move to Real who he's apparently a fan of.

Moutinho and James Rodriguez to Monaco for 70m according sly spurts
It would extremely stupid of them if they did. Just look at Hulk/Witsel when they went to Zenit. Waste.
Ed002 is that right have Monaco agreed to sign Rodriguez and Moutinho? {Ed002's Note - Monaco will be looking to complete these transfers (and there is nothing new here as the informatio about interest has been shared). But nothing has been completed just yet.}
And now apparently Falcao is too?! Doubt it, I've not seen anything on tv
Blimmin heck all these rumours, wouldn't be surprised if AVB and Hulk were linked as some sort of Porto reunion! Haha
Ozwald
That is an awful deal!

Morning guys!
I'm hearing from a legitiment source that we are going to launch a poach on the Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain. pretty neat for a fee of 15 mill guys. Am I right in saying this? opinions in comment section would be appreciated thanks!
UTD Dalf
I genuinely do not rate him at all. He just lacks in so many areas as far as I'm concerned. He won't improve our squad, let alone the starting eleven.
I think there are better targets that we could be looking at.
Thankfully I don't see this coming to anything.

Good player, but lacks pace. RvP isn't the quickest, do we want another similar style but lesser quality player.
If we are going to sign another striker we should go for someone like Lewandowski as he has power and pace and would complement RvP better.
We need exciting players. Someone who can beat a man
If we are talking Strikers who is there that is left and available. If we are believing what we are reading today.
Lewandowski - Bayern
Falcao - Monaco
Cavani - City
cant think of anyone else that would have the "stature" to replace Rooney if he was to leave. Higuain nor Benzema are good enough, other top talents are Ibrahimovic, Villa (albeit injury prone now) and maybe. nope i'm stuck now.
what about a bid for Lukaku? I know he is raw and might not fit our supposed style of play. but he might fit Moyes's style of play, and I think he will be quite a force.

No chance of Chelsea selling him to Man Utd.
Maybe as part of a swap deal involving Rooney?
"legitiment" lmao

hi i'm a Sunderland fan first of all congrats on winning the league, but the reason i'm writing is to find out what our chances are of getting either Javier hernandez or danny welbeck on loan usually i'd say no chance because why would they go to sunderland when they can play for man united but obviously rooney will be leaving and you'll be looking for maybe two other strikers to come so what's going to happen to hernandez and welbeck? {Ed004's Note - I don't think either of them will be leaving let alone on loan. If they do leave they will be sold}
Does this mean a return for our beloved Wesley.

More likely to get Macheda than those two pal.
I reckon Moyes will spend a season with the two of them anyway. Plus RVP will be heading for contract time next season and maybe he will go somehwere for an even bigger payday. We need to buy an established striker to bed in this forthcoming season and then lead the line the following one. The Pole is my bet.
