Moyes is ready to pay 15 million for Daniele De Rossi and 35 for Herrera

13/ 37 would be better.

I am hearing that there are definatley no medicals booked for either today or tomorrow, read into that what you will.

Togethered - at this time of the transfer market, any medical will take place wherever the player is, rather than at United's usual place.

I would still be optimistic of some transfer activity before Monday night.

Fair point Mike.

Where do United's medicals usually take place? I thought that the medicals were done at the Aon training complex. If it is, does that mean that it would still need to be booked, considering it's the personal facility of the club?

6.) 31 Aug 2013
I believe that eventually all full medicals wil be done there but at the moment the facilities are all not up and fully functional, and that all blood work has to be done at a separate hospital

Look guy, s let's face facts, Moyes is not a big enough name as yet to entice players to our great club. David Gill was a past master at getting deals done quickly and effeciently, This Woodward guy in my eyes has no idea how to conduct transfer business ( were did he come from anyhow's). This time in every season our targets have been bought, Berbarubbish was the only last minute one I can think off. I know it's going to take time for Moyes to be the manager we hope he can be, but if he does, nt start and make improvements to the squad, fans will get fed up and angry sooner rather than later.

De Rossi says he's going nowhere apparently.

Does anyone know if he herrera is actually good enough?
I made the point to my mates who are chelski fans that they paid 30 mil for a 25 yr old with 2 caps.
Herrera is 24 with no full international cap. Is this just because of how packed the spanish midfield is? Surely he would have played a few minutes at some point!

Berbarubish, are you for real. He was/is a quality player & is still better than 90% of prem strikers.

Ruan - Herrera is very, very good. Barca looked at him as potential replacement for Fabregas, and had already been looking at him. It has been suggested (including by one of the eds here) that Barca's interest in Herrera caused Fabregas comments to spanish media which triggered utd interest in Fabregas.

If he's good enough for Fabregas to feel threatened, that's good enough for me.

He's not as good as Fabregas, but is a couple of years younger. IMO he's actually better from a defensive point of view, almost as good as a playmaker and only really lacking in goal threat, although even there he's hardly
terrible.

Also, he's about the same level as Thiago, just a couple of years older, maybe not as much potential, but again, better defensively.

All around, really good fit. He'd slot in alongside Carrick and push forwards a little, create chances and help get the best from Kagawa and RVP.
