Ed002, good morning. Anything we should look out for today? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I wouldn't think so Syd. The deal that could have been done is Garay but as I said Otamendi was Plan B.}

It looks as though again we aren't finishing a deal for Garay and I don't think the reports of a bid for Otamendi are true.

And we end up with Plan C again :-)
Ah well, we have Mata, plus Fellaini should be much better than his injury troubled first 6 months, so he could be like an additional signing, and I honestly think we'll end up really happy with the guy. If we keep our best players injury free for most of our remaining games, we will be top 4 in my eyes.

Garay must be very disappointed with MU messing him around. Was his asking price really that much more than we offered for Otamendi? MU are leaving an awful lot until the summer.


4.) 31 Jan 2014
I'm disappointed we haven't bought Garay but if the deals weren't available then Moyes is right to wait. If Zouma goes for £12m that will be kick in the teeth.

{Ed002's Note - I don't see what Zouma being sold has to do with MUFC.}

Has an Otamendi bid been turned down?


6.) 31 Jan 2014
Clearly they don't see any value in the market. let's hope fit Rooney, RVP and Mata can make up for the gap in the middle of the field.

Zouma is not the experienced CB we are looking for to replace Ferdinand. We have Jones (21), Smalling (24), Keane (21). We needed experience, but it can wait til the summer when Vidic and Ferdinand inevitably leave.

I'd like to see Vertonghen come in for the Summer, he's now had a few years in the premiership and looks solid. I'd like to see Jones at CB for a stint also

Zouma may not be experienced but he looks likely to be one of the very best European defenders in a few years time with Didier Deschamps tipping him as a future captain of the French team. Would have been a good buy for us.
