It seems the Chelsea Rooney bid may have got the ball rolling so to speak. Perhaps an indication that a higher bid is likely to be accepted, so to save face the club need to hurry along one or two of our signings. Perhaps to stop fan frenzy. Were the club waiting for a Rooney bid before we went for a big signing? If only the editor was able to help us out a little, cannot believe some goobers have ruined it for the rest of us.

I think you're right Syd, if we're going to sell Rooney I don't think we'll do so without either at least replacing him or completing 2-3 signings before.

Who do you think we could be in for?

We clearly want Cesc mate, but I think if Rooney is sold to Chelsea then the club will pay over the odds for a player to help calm the MU fans' hearts ;)

Totally agree Syd. Although I agree with the stance the Edds have taken this may be a good time to throw us a bone. Even let us know if you are privy to the info that is what league this proposed signing comes from. {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware there is no Cesc signing, his nose was just out of joint by talk of Barca signing a replacement. United got wind of it and asked if Barca would be willing to let him go. Barca and Cesc sat down and talked it over, he was reassured the club wanted him and he told them he is desperate to stay and play for Barcelona. So Barca just told United that they are not willing to let him go. I don't know who else that is wanted, but, sorry to say as I know it will be a disappointment to most, Baines and Fellaini are the only two I 100% know that Moyes would like to bring in. Other than that, and obviously he would have taken Fabregas if he could, I have no idea who United are after.}

Ed001, thanks I appreciate it. Good to hear from you.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Baines and Fellaini signed, we do need that much needed creative midfielder and left forward. Any ideas who could fit the bill for a creative midfielder? I imagine Gaitan or Di Maria could be the left forward, could Gundagon be the creative midfielder?

Syd

I came back after a month just found out tht eds are gone.
How about Erickson? what's news on him?
I doubt Gundagon can be assigned creative midfielder role, in terms of creative Sahin is considered more creative than him at Dortmund.

Ed001 & Syd,

do you think that the club would announce Ed Woodward leaving Oz, to deal with 'major transfer business' which is said to be a player coming in, if it was to secure Baines and/or Fellaini?

I can't see that the club would be that naive as to let supporters know a signing is on the way and creating this hype for us to sign someone like that.

Not that they're necessarily bad players, it's just that the way the club have gone about it, it seems as though (although I hate to use the word) a 'marquee' signing is being negotiated

what do you reckon?

Ed001. Thank you for your input, much appreciated.
