MUFC have made improved bid of 38 mill pounds for Fellaini & Baines. waiting for response


1.) 29 Aug 2013
Great! If this is the only business we do I for one will be very disappointed. We apparently have money to spend and want to improve the team, IMO these two don't.

We live in hope that Ozil/De Maria/Modric may be signed however time is running out rapidly.

This site will no doubt be inudated with those who wear rose tinted glasses saying we don't need anyone as our squad is good enough and just support your team. Let us note down their names and see what they say in january when we are 4th in the league and out of the CL!

This is ridiculous, we absolutely do not need baines, why waste money on him when evra is still doing the job and Buttner has shown a lot of promise and we still have Fabio, there's no need for Baines, its our midfield that needs work. Does Evra want out? Does moyes not rate the younger lads? Baines is going to be overpriced and not needed . Ridiculous. Buy fellaini and for the money we will spend on Baines buy eriksen, young, cheap and better than what we have! If he's talking about value in the market there it is.

In fairness, We need the type of player that Fellaini is more then any other. Kagawa can play a central play maker role similar to Scholes but as his defensive abilities are lacking. With a ball winner like Fellaini it gives freedom to the front players to play as they want to without being overly worried about tracking back. Personally I don't see the need for Baines tbh more so that Moyes trusts him to be able to bomb up and down the pitch for 90 mins week in week out.

Both moyes and woodward are doing exactly what the glazers are telling them to do, keep the money in the kitty!Can someone find the odds for SAF back in control by January?The ethos of this club is to build not sit back.We've got all these global companies spending millions sponsoring us and none is going on the team at all bar for one lad from south America.I'm getting my green and gold scarf ready for action.

United buy players who are hungry for success, those ready to step up to the next level and fight for trophies or established players who have never won a trophy. That is how United work, just look at the manager appointment. Di Maria / Ozil would be guff for us, both would take their wage but neither would bust a gut when the going gets tough.

Also Iv said this before but I think Baines will play left wing for united.

Behave yourself elbow ;)


7.) 29 Aug 2013
Guys let's face fabio is a better right back than he is left back and buttner is not good enough and won't be imo so yes we do need Baines. Why wouldn't we need the best left back in the league? After all the majority comes on here and has a go at evra! Evra of 4 years ago was the best in the world no doubt now he can be a liability! I still love him and think his personality is amazing! But Baines could play left wing like elbow suggests!


8.) 29 Aug 2013
38-40 I think that should do it.

Elbow

Wow.

Nonsense.


10.) 29 Aug 2013
No problem with fellaini and baines, but we also need an eriksen type player. Contrary to what others think I wouldn't mind sneijder at all of it's true as he's much better than what we have.


11.) 29 Aug 2013
By signing Baines we would unsettle Evra. Let us not forget that Evra has been playing brilliantly and is also our vice captain. So why not save the 15-18 million pounds that we would have spent on him to buy an attacking winger hat could cross the ball, such as Di Maria for example. Fellaini is a must buy because he can bully nearly any player in the BPL and is the same type of player as Yaya Toure, which is exactly what we need.


12.) 29 Aug 2013
I do think we will sign Baines and Fellaini over the next day or so and and I am very happy even if this is our only business, but I do think we will see at least one more and I think it will be a attacking player that can give us something we don't already have? but have to say Baines is the best left back in England by some distance evra just does not have the same stamina or crossing ability and Fellaini is what we have missed since Keano not saying he is the same player but he is a scary fella and I do think the opposition will $hit it from him plus corners will be fun to watch even more with him and Vidic on the same team lol lots of goals from set pieces and that's not a bad thing in tight games like we had the other night and big European games can be so tight a good set piece may be the only way to brake the deadlock and we all remember how 99 got rolling don't we


13.) 29 Aug 2013
Fellaini is nothing like Toure, we have Jones for any roughing up that is required in Midfield. We need someone creative, able to run a pace & take players on down the middle + have an eye for the killer pass.

We also need a world class winger to replace Ronaldo (IMO Valencia, Nani & Young don't cut the mustard).

I would be happy with Ozil (or Modric) & De Maria, maybe a young centre back bearing in mind Rio/Vidic's ages.

Jones for the ruff stuff? He's a good central defender but struggles to pass a ball 10 yards, should never play in midfield


15.) 29 Aug 2013
I may be wide of the mark but Ozil, Di Maria And Benzema have all come out and said they don't want to leave Madrid. Could this mean that Modric may be available as if all the others stay plus Alonso when fit. Could be something in it or I expect us to sign him in January, reda rumours of us going back in for Cesc but with Xavi being 33 its only a matter of time before Cesc takes over his role at Barca seeing as he has waited 3 years do u honestly think he would leave now when he is so close to being a starter. If we don't sign any creative playmaker which we have been missing for 5 years I expect Modric to join in January. Does anyone else think we should have taken a punt on Eriksen for £8 million we spent £7 million on homeless flpo Bebe who is still on our books

@Dave United : Why are you so pessimistic? You saw what Chelsea had to offer the other night (not much) you've seen Cardiff beat City on Sunday, you've seen Arsenal be beaten at home by Villa . Spurs have not been vintage . So relax and wait and see what happens . Fellaini will be a good addition to the squad, 2 years as def mid for


17.) 29 Aug 2013
@Dougal. Those you mention will get better, we have papered over the cracks for 2/3 years, no Scholes/Giggs/Ronaldo replacements. We won a weak league last year and didn't progress in Europe. With what we have do you see us challanging Bayern/Barca/Real? It is not so much pessimistic, we support the biggest club in the world we want the best. The club get my $'s from membership/shirt sales/tickets etc, I just like to see it spent well!

With Buttner leaving on loan, and Fabio better on the right, I can see Baines and Evra working well together in the sense that neither would play every game. I'm
not sure if DM is looking at pushing one of them further forward but we're not exactly overrun with left mids (of a decent class anyway).

Still if these two are the only signings other than varela would be pretty disappointing mark DM has put on "his" team. Still optimistic overall though

Elbow if we were only interested in hungry players we would have been bidding for suarez all summer
