Bad news
this is from givemefootball.com
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric has no plans to leave the club this summer.
The Croatian has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer after a superb season for Harry Redknapp's side.
But despite missing out on the Champions League, Modric doesn't have eyes on leave Spurs.
"I am happy and enjoying it here. The fans are amazing, the club is amazing, My fellow Croatians are here I am not missing anything, " he said.
"I think this club can achieve a lot of great things, I think we can fight for trophies, the EPL or cups. Like I said, I am happy here and not thinking about anything else."
It will be hard because being in the Champions League for the first time, we did a great job and played some great games against big teams, " he added.
"We enjoyed it, but we didn't manage to qualify and it is going to be hard watching on television next season. We need to prepare and try again for the fourth spot, maybe third or second I don't know."
Modric doesn't give a damn about his fellow Croats. C'mon who is going to resist MUFC, RM, Barca;CFC.

Does MUFC really needs Sanchez? Utd already has Nani&Valencia, most probably A.Young is coming maybe Downing as well. Sneijdre would be great siggning Modri Very good signing. Rodwell excellent signing.

Barcelona are the favourites to land Alexis Sanchez - Udinese president
Spanish giants could beat Manchester United again, this time in the transfer market as they are frontrunners for highly-rated Sanchez who is keen on Liga action
Udinese president Franco Soldati has revealed that Barcelona are ahead of Manchester United, Juventus and Manchester City in the race to sign Alexis Sanchez.

united will be very busy in the transfer window and some of the names being bantered about on here are true but there will be a couple of surprises as well.
Ins = de gea , torres ( not the dirty cockey/scouse one ) , modric , cahill , verane , kaka

If the Rumours are correct.
then De Gea Young and varene (spelling) are all but done.
Nasri's agent is in talks with us he has indicated we are an option. On his twitter he mentioned scholesy.
Clearly he does have a desire to play for us.
These signings are realistic in terms of price, but i still see one marquee signing. 30mil+ thoughts?
Maybe a striker is on the cards.
Or are the 3 signings De Gea, Young + Nasri?
(Looks like modric is staying put)
06 Jun 2011 21:48:43
Looks like A. Yuong will be a Man Utd player soon. I think he will be a good signing as he will provide good competition for nani and park on left. Also it make our bench stronger too. We looked really weak when Park and Valencia were injured this season. Giggs can't play on the wing anymore, ok against weaker bottom clubs he can but in top of the table clashes he can't.
People go on about gettion quality players and i agree but its also about improving our strength in depth too. Gibson, Evans and O'shea are great players but do an average job at times but they can't change games like Young can. Again he's no Sanchez but Udinese keep upping thier price and changing thier minds. Unfortunately only City are likely to pay what they want.
Im hoping we buy another top DM fletcher is really good and a grafter but he needs competition and we missed him against Barcelona.

"So i went on a tour of emirates stadium today as a part of my trip to london and when we went into the dressing room both of the tour guides told everyone not to buy a fabregas kit as he will not be at the club next year. So i would assume that would mean hes off to barca, city, or by a longshot us. I think saf would be in for nasri, but not fabregas as he would be too expensive, but lets keep our fingers crossed cause fabregas could be just what we need.

@True, we could do with someone at the club to keep Bob the medic happy, especially now Hargreaves has left.

In some cultures they have so many names that they'd even make jan vennegor of hesselink raise an eyebrow. I think we just need to accept it and cheer them on especially if they were the red of united.

More to come on that, perhaps.

Even when the player himself comes out and confirms he wants to go Barcelona, still there are some people thinking United can nic Sanchez. Accept it guys, at the moment Barcelona and Real Madrid are more lucrative destinations. I think because they show a lot of ambition and very attractive one i must say.
06 Jun 2011 20:40:57
Fact is we need a new keeper, right back.a holding midfielder and an attacking midfielder. possibly a striker to. with that said id say United have enough cash for 2-3 well known players. the rest would then be spent on unknown talent. possibly flops, possibly not. .We don't need that greedy fool from Inter if Modric or Nasri will play for less. and i find them to be just as good
06 Jun 2011 20:04:37
I have it on good authority that we are in talks with Sneijder's agent over a possible move. The talks are not advanced as of yet, but at least they're happening! I see this as a good move for us. Can someone explain to me why so many on this site do not think Sneijder is right for United?

You wouldn't expect to walk into a shop and find on your receipt that you were served by "Todger". .unless that is someones very unfortunate first name. And Im very much aware that their are bigger problems than shirt names but today Im grumbling about this if that's ok with you kind sir/madam.

Ed what u think, will SAF really try and sign both Sneijder and Modric? Would he drop the 4-4-2 to accommodate this? {Ed007's Note - I don't know if he will buy both of them, I'd be delighted with either/or, as for 4-4-2 it isn't set in stone, and more and more teams are ditching it. If AF gets the players he wants I think there could be a little change in the tactics next season, to both a)maximise goal scoring and b) help to turn draws away from home into wins}
06 Jun 2011 19:19:06
fergie seems to try have all things covered in that modric, sneijder, de gea, sanchez are hes main targets&will buy given the chance, young is a back up as prob expecting a bid for nani&is willing to except at right price, rodwell, chamberlain, henderson, jones, come under the utd have done the "keep us informed call" will move for them if others do but would prefer to use cash on main targets so players like brown, gibson even wellbeck come into swap or loans as bait.
nasri seems fancy utd move but knows keeping the utd story alive is good for wages wrangle with arsenal before contract signed,
berba if decent offer recieved utd will look to move on but only if fergie knows hes got like benzema lined up to replace, cant see berba wanting to play along in part of modric deal,
dont ever take what fergie says in press conf as gospel when hes says 3 players he more likely saying 5 including younger players,
another thing is fergie always seem to do the signing you don't expect its just done, andy cole, eric, was just bang done, he leads the press down the wrong road many a time while covering what going on, i rem it was all Nesta years ago visits to milan all the players on it, next min its revealed utd was already bidding for Rio!
to me after barca show before any signing the question must be asked are they good enough to play, compete&beat that barca side! fergie will be beat barca obsessed now!
06 Jun 2011 18:48:39
It would be interesting to know how much SAF has got to spend on players this summer? if hes gonna be making a few signings and with names like modric, sneijder, young, Sanchez being mentioned, too even purchase any three of the above he would need around 70M- 80M do you really think united have that money to spend on players?

i would rather see nasri, sanchez and bale come to old trafford and nani and carrick out just think what a team we would be then
06 Jun 2011 18:22:03
Rumours surfacing around Emirates that God Arsene is looking into the possibilities of a player plus cash for Nasri. The feeling is that Nasri wants away to United and as he is in the last season of his current contract the price isn't going to be bank breaking to prize him away. With that in mind arsene is trying to get the most out of a deal and sees cash and a player as a better option as we all know he doesn't like to flash the cash. The player been suggested from the Arsenal end is Berbatov as Arsene thinks he can get around £15 million and the player in exchange for Nasri. This gives him money towards Eden Hazard as well as another striker to bolster our forward line-up which was proven last year not to be of a depth required to challenge for trophies.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
*That would be a ludicrous deal. With a year left on his contract Nasri is worth £15million without Berbatov being thrown in. United could get £15million for Berbatov and then spend that on Nasri if they so wished. I doubt Fergie would do Arsenal any favours by tossing in a free player. Then again nothing surprises me in football.

Guys,
Check out the Talksport website under the United section. Interview with Dutch journalist, stating Sneijder really wants to come to Manchester, with United preferred option. He really feels he is the man to replace Scholesy.
Ed, what do u think? Good news I reckon!
19MUFC19 {Ed001's Note - it depends on how trustworthy the journalist is, because talksport aren't exactly known for truth and honesty are they?}
06 Jun 2011 17:32:19
Which player would you take if we could get Modric or Nasri?
With Modric we could get a very good passer of the ball who plays very consistent. He was probably the most consistent central midfielder in cm this season. But i'm not sure he is the creative force we need. He starts a lot of attacks but i don't think his last pass is special at all and he isn't that much of a goal threat.
On the other hand we have Samir Nasri who without a doubt had his best games for Arsenal in a central position. He is a very special dribbler, with great close control and showed this season that he could get you around 10 goals a season. Personally i think he would interprete the cm role in the same manner like Giggsy and i think such a agile player suits Carrick the most.
For me Nasri would be the best business (bar Sanchez) we could do this transfer window.
That said both would improve us massively.
. . . . . and please no Ashley Young. Good player, maybe even very good player but he is definitely not the way forward for us. It's always good to have a good squad but this time we need players for our first team and not players to improve our squad. {Ed004's Note - Tbh I think Nasri could get more than 10 goals a season, he got about 9 before the new year playing centrally and after the new year 2 goals playing out wide}
06 Jun 2011 17:17:02
Some of you really act like spoilt brats. Manchester United are the Premier League Champions and got to the final of the Champions League. Fair enough we were well beaten by Barca, but what people fail to acknowledge is that this Barcelona team will go down in history as one of the best if not the best club side of all time. Losing to them is not the catastrophy some make out.
The only positon we 100% need a player is in goal with VDS leaving, and on that front it seems De Gea is already tied up. Other than that a midfielder is the priority in my opinion but its not the be all and end all. I would love to sign Sanchez as well but if not I'm still happy with our squad.
How many of you are even aware that United won the FA Youth cup this year, with what is widely regarded as United most talented group of youngsters. The three stand out players at that age are Morrison, Tunnicliffe and Pogba all centre midfielders. What happend to those highly rated young players if United buy 2 or 3 midfielders for 40 million pounds.
Barcelona didn't buy success, they developed it. Be patient, we've won the Premier League 4 out of the last 5 years and played in 3 Champions League finals winning one. People have no right to complain.

06 Jun 2011 16:57:23
I am not at all swayed by bookie odds, but how good would our squad be with Sanchez, Modric & De Gea in it? It's not as far fetched as some would like to think, it's likely the Glazers would prefer us to have a biggish spend this summer, then spend minimal amounts over the next few summers.
If we replaced say, VDS, Brown, Scholes, Giggs & Rio with De Gea, Varane, Modric, Sanchez & Smalling, then would we need to spend big or at all for the next few years? We could just promote youth & find little gems abroad like Hernandez, Henriquez etc.
I suppose a big spend this summer would have it's advantages.

06 Jun 2011 16:54:28
"on another note i only see sanchez at united if nani goes.
personally i don't think nani can improve much more, think fergie was hoping on another cr7?"
I don't think AF would be that stupid. He appreciate that the likes of Ronaldo are few and far between.
I think Ferguson will be more than happy with the progress made by Nani, as should every United fan and clearly, given their votes, the MUFC players feel the same way.

Completely forgot to say earlier, Macheda will be gone in this window, not sure where to and for how much but he will be gone. Unfortunate as he's a very good prospect but with Hernandez ahead of him and Welbeck to be given a chance next season he wouldn't get much game time. Welbeck is the better prospect anyway offers a lot more option (position wise)

PS SEE WIKI SPURS HAVE MORE MONEY AND 100 TIMES LESS DEBTS YOU WILL STICK TO YOUR SQUAD AND DEGEA MIGHT COME THATS IT NOT MODRIC SPECIALLY NOT FOR APOULTRY 20 MILL WHEN HE HAS A 44 YR CONTRACT , IS CLASS LOVES HIS CLUB HAS TWO FELLOW CROATS HARRY AND LEVY WANT HIMSO DOES THE CLUB THEY DONT WANT BERBA ITS 60 MILL TO NEGOTIATE
MODRIC WONT JOIN YOUR CLUB NOR WILL NASRI
2O MILL IS s**t {Ed004's Note - I say you are completely wrong in your facts and are just jealous...}
06 Jun 2011 14:49:30
I have heard that Nasri has brought a trophy cabinet could this mean he is going to United! !
06 Jun 2011 14:39:01
The signings that are actually possible are:
De Gea,
Young OR Nasri,
Modric OR Sneijder,
Minor: Varane.
Regarding Modric and Sneijder Fergie will not have both in one team, he never has two attacking midfielders starting. Whoever says Sneijder is going to Man City for the fame and money is talking a load of whack, he's a proper footballer and tends to go where the football is good. This isn't saying he is definitely coming to Man Utd, i can see the Modric transfer being more feasible.
In Young and Nasri either player can play on either wing, and i can't see fergie selling Nani. So we are going to have 3 wingers (Valencia, Nani and Young or Nasri) with Park moving to play a more central role. I'd rather have Nasri because he suits United's style more now with the introduction of the Rooney-Hernandez partnership and the possible departure of Berbatov.
I hope that with the £55-70 million United have to spend this summer, deals are completed quickly to get the players coming in integrated. I am sure Sir Alex knows where his best bets lie.
DD
06 Jun 2011 14:28:01
Why are we linked with right-footed wingers. We don't have a left-footed player.
Giggs is old now.
Nani is uncomforatable on the left.
Cleverly too is not a Left Winger.
We should be looking at Costa, Young, Bale, etc.
not Sanchez.
06 Jun 2011 13:41:18
SAF said 3 signings.
De Gea
Young
Modric
Sneijder- Likely to stay at Inter but i can see SAF still watching over.
Nasri- Bonus signing if SAF agrees.
Sanchez- Another bonus but is splendid if he goes to Barcelona.
I know SAF is looking at other players but i'm sure this is his priority right now.
06 Jun 2011 13:38:34
Assuming that both nasri and modric are available do we sign both?
nasri's preferred position is CM (no wing) so do modric , neither accept to sit in bench watching the other play in that position.
or we have to do barca like midfield
nasri (DM) modric
valencia nani
rooney
which cannot happen unless we play a posession game like them
so in my opinion both cannot be signed

My opinion is that there is zero possibility of Kaka joining Man Utd, this is going to be his last big payday.
Utd never spend that type of money on a 29 year old, were I to make a guess Abramovich will buy him same as he did Shevchenko as his new pet project and like Shev he'll not be much cop at all.he'll be brought in without the managers say

SNEIJDER NEWS! !
On talksport, they asked Dutch football expert Marcel Van Der Kraan about Wesley Sneijder and he has said he is set on a move to Manchester, in particular United because he sees replacing Paul Scholes as his ideal challenge.
He did say however that his wages would be the stumbling block to any as he is on 175k a week at Inter Milan.
I think this deal will go through, if Fergie want's him. If not, Modric will probably be the next target.
What do you think Ed? {Ed007's Note - I'de be delighted with either Sneijder or Modric. Sneijder has been my first choice all along so I am not changing my mind now. That doesn't mean it will happen though}

ed, i wouldn't mind seeing kaka join as long as it is for 25m, he has been injured alot at madrid but when he plays he does play well, but he is being over shadowed by ronaldo, ozil and di maria, he isn't playing his favourite cam role, he has either been pushed wide left or been played much deeper than he did for ac milan.
still i would much prefer modric, nasri and diarra/m'villa.

People on here go on about MUs debt, which is rediculous, as most, including me, do not have all the facts or know exactly what the Glazers are doing or intend to do.
My view is this, we are constantly being told by SAF and DG that we have the funds if we find the right players. Well the truth is this, WE NEED PLAYERS NOW!
If we do not spend and spend big on the RIGHT players then we are truly 'broke', as there is ZERO excuse if we do not.
No good keep saying we are the BIGGEST if you do not prove it from time to time.
It is time for SAF, DG & the Glazers to put their ''B*lls'' on the table and show the World what MU can do. If they do not, then their words are hollow and we are no longer the BIGGEST club.
It is time to PUT UP or SHUT UP!
These are the facts!

Lets not forget, the more bonds we buy back, the less interest we will have to pay out, because we will be paying some interest to ourselves. I do not believe the £113m cash reserves will be spent on players, I think around £40m net will be. But I expect us to always have at least £100m in our cash reserves. When refinancing, it would get us a lower interest rate as the lender knows we will have money to fall back on. Or perhaps you are right, if we can get the debt down to around £300m by 2016, perhaps the £100m will go towards the debt and the refinancing costs? Who knows bud.

I am I first time poster on here and have seen a lot of these rumours, in my opinion united will release Hargreaves and sell gibson with cleverly coming back as a squad player. Carrick has just signed a new contract but will be a squad player along with giggs and Anderson so that leaves fletcher and room for 3 new midfielders, I say modric, nasri and a defensive mf perhaps rodwell. I see young coming as cover with obertan leaving. Varane and de gea will sign with berbatov sold, diouf, macheda and bebe either sold or loaned out, I don't see a forward being bought as welbeck will be back. IMO Sanchez and sneijder are too expensive for us! What do you think ed of my opinions? {Ed001's Note - I think you are not far off there, though I can't see it being 3 midfielders, I think Nasri is an alternative to Modric.}

The Nasri rumour looks like its gathering pace, his good friend Pat Evra has been in his ear and also Larent Blanc has spoke to him telling him how great it would be for his career under Sir Alex. He would be a great asset as I think Modric would be to link the midfield to Rooney and then to Hernandez. If we were to sign Nasri then we def need to look at a high class holding midfielder someone who can break the play up and pass the simple ball, Owen Hargreaves was brilliant at it but sad to see his career end. Rodwell will be great in a few years and he is one to be bought for the future but its an important role so we need experience now, someone like Di Rossi or L Diarra would fit the bill. Lastly I think we have all but got De Gea wrapped up, Ashley Young looks likely but I would love to see Sanchez in the Red shirt, would add that X-factor that we have missed since CR7.
I lot of this is my opinion so please don't shoot me down, just give me your thougts.

"just heard on the radio that Sneijder earning super wages at Inter (over175k per week) we all know this will be main stumbling block with any sort of move to UTD."
@I cannot see us signing Sneijder, I cannot see why SAF would opt for a player that will cost between £30m-£35m, wages of around 150k a week, when we could sign Modric who is younger, would cost between £25m-£30m and his wages would be 90k a week max. He fits into our team, unlike Sneijder. We cannot have both Rooney and Sneijder playing in the 'hole' can we? Modric plays just behind the attack, in front of the defense. Somewhere where we need to strengthen.
A five year deal for Sneijder would cost at least £69m (excluding bonuses) whereas a five year deal for Modric would cost us £53m at the very most. Modric would fit our style of play like a glove so I just cannot see Sneijder happening. Just my opinion fellas.

According to Talksport Sneijder is looking at 175k per week to move to the PL, He's the best paid player in Italy and even then he'd be taking a pay cut.
I don't know how anyone can live on a poultry 175k a week. I wonder if he does a bit of painting and decorating on the side?
The football world has indeed gone mad! {Ed001's Note - maybe he is like Stuart Pearce and works as an electrician on the side?}

Is agreeing with the earlier poster who said that Nasri will probably end-up staying at Arsenal with the likely departure of Fabregas. He'll be given his favoured position and a hefty payrise. Congratulations Nasri.
I don't think Arsene Wenger will be foolish enough to sell him without first pulling out all the stops to get him to stay. And I think that's just what the little prince wants.
Would be nice to see him at OT though. .

According to RAINFISHTROMBONE we should not support SAF or Wayne Rooney and should kick young Ravel out before the guy has a chance to mature.
The only thing at a football club that matters to supporters is to be successful on the pitch and win trophies anything else that goes on within the club is irrelevant so long as the club is being run professionally and the players are happy imo.
The debt is there but united are still competitive so live with it !
Red Knight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Red Knight, or Mr Gill whichever you prefer. If you had ever bothered to read this site you would know that i was one of the few including Sydney who defended Ravel even though it was me who initially broke the news about the Gun. Ask for Sir Alex and Rooney. Yes I do admire Sir Alex for the teams he has built and what he has won. Will I turn a blind eye to what he has also done regarding transfers and agents no I won't. Rooney as far as I am concerned is just a nasty little scouser who took the piss out of this club and you lot want to kiss his apse. He held us to ransom and dragged our name through the dirt. I hope when he is least expecting it Fergie lets him go. i feel that he knows he wouldn't be given the resources to replace him, but make no mistake if we hadn't paid him what he wanted he would now be playing for City like the Argentinian seamstress. According to Red Knight the only thing that matters is that a club is successful and wins trophies at any price. So the fact that we are being raped by some fat Americans who have not put a single penny into the club means nothing because of a few trophies. You stupid stupid idiot. I doubt whether you go to the game or are even from Manchester. You are probably one of these losers who forgets their local team and buy's a United shirt then goes down to the pub. Of course the debt means nothing to people like you, it doesn't affect you or your community. Manchester United is our club and we will not sit back and let it get shafted like this. Give me as much sh*ep as you can but in the end I will know which side i stood on and you and David Gill will know who's side you were on. RAINFISHTROMBONE

"There is no chance that Barca will sign Sanchez, Rossi and Fabregas.
Rob
There's every chance this could happen, money's no object at the moment after there success this season, i just hope that the rumours about Sanchez to utd are true, he is quality and could be a united legend. HERBIE."
Have to say I agree with Rob. Barca are not flush with cash at the moment. Remember, they failed to pay their players one month last summer and are only just better off this year than last. However, I think if they were to give one a miss, it would more likely be Fabregas than Sanchez, unfortunately.

This net spending argument intrigued me, so looking on transferleague.com you can see the total that clubs have spent and received from sales since 1992 and their average spend per season. The spending is also broken down into smaller periods. From 2006-2011 Man Utd have spent £164.3 million and received £150.8 million- a net spend of just £13.4 million, averaging at just under £2.7 million per season. Obviously the sale of Ronaldo skews these figures somewhat, but we will have to wait and see whether that money will actually be used on transfers. The fact so far is we sold him, and haven't spent it.

Gan, the net spend from 2005-2010 whilst under the Glazers is lower than the previous five years, very true and I have not purposely avoided that. But these figures are obscured by the Ronaldo fee. I can tell you that from 2005-2009 we net spent more than the previous five years. I am not defending the Glazers, I am just sharing the facts.
Also, we are £477m in gross debt, around £360m net debt. (£477m - £113m cash reserves). We have to pay back £477m (so far) by 2017. But that will drop by around £25m-£30m a year IMO. That is based on the fact that our debt has been reduced on average £25m in the past two years. So IMO and it's just opinion, I believe we will have to pay back around £325m-£350m in 2017. But I suspect we will refinance in 2016.
Sydney!"""
dear mr sydney
thank you for that
now that is more realistic
first, the nett spend is more between 2005 and 2009 is due to the fact that players are 10 times the value compared to before 2005.
second, nett spend is nett spend. ronaldo or not. ngiak really cannot understand why people seem to seperate the two.
third, your last point is exactly what our opinions defer in.
simple question. why pay loan/ bond interest and waste money when you can clear off the main debt/bond?
ngiak has strong suspicions that the "money in the bank" that people assume will be used for buying 100 plus million worth of players, wil be mainly used for the reduction of the bonds.
so instead of refinancing in 2017, there will be a significant reduction in the amount in the bonds.
well, only time will tell.
thanks!

Please post this one and not 1st post, less mistakes, less phone errors, less wrong word correction, and this one makes more sense :D thanks Ed
I am a regular reader of this site, and thought it is bout time and get involved as well. My views are just opinions and aren't based upon anything other than info everybody else all ready knows, so I haven't got any "insider" contacts ;)
Aside from that I believe united are in a strong position atm to sign both modric and nasri, based upon the fact that tottenham generally conseed to selling there top players in the end, as well as fergie normally being able to get his man gets his man. as for nasri I think he has realised if he wants to be a winner he needs to join the mighty reds. Although arsene would be reluctant to sell to a main rival, they are in a weak position with regards to nasri's contract, which suggests nasri would be able to push through this deal, or threaten to leave for free next season.
These transfers seem to be quite reasonable and will would be our marquee signings that will reshape our midfield, adding great enthusiasm and work rate, benefiting our starting line up, and service to Rooney and Hernandez.
I also think our other squad signings will be de gea, varane( loaned back) and young (cheap 12 mil including ad ons ) cos of contract issues.
I think our striking options will stay pretty similar as I don't expect berbatov to leave, with welbeck and cleverly returning adding more strength and squad depth. I don't think cleverly is really viewed as a winger but more of a wilshere type centre midfielder which Is why I think young will still be signed.
Nani will not leave cos of young tho, as young will just increase competion on left wing as giggs is now seen as a creative centre midfielder for big games, more like the vacated scholes role. Meaning 4 rotational wingers of park, young, Valencia and nani.
Rodwell will be watched again, with view to a move next summer. I think the Sanchez and sneider rumours are way off the mark as I feel the quoted prices are way out of the question, with much better value for money being available on proven players in the EPL in young nasri and modric.
Therefore
In
Modric
Nasri
Young
Varane
De gea
Welbeck
Cleverly
Staying
Nani
Berbatov
Out
Obertan
Brown

'Ste73'
You are getting mixed-up between 'Glazer debt' & 'United's debt'.
Our total gross debt that is secured against our club is exactly £477.7m. This is fact my friend.
Sydney!
So you know that the payment in kind debt has been cleared without another loan, which if we are paying off for them is our debt, whether it's secured against the club or not, don't bother answering I know you don't know.

Does anyone know anything about the Internet access sites that were rumored a few years ago, where we can sell our games online(or something like that, I don't really understand), it was rumored it could be worth billions, us this still viable or does anyone know if it isn't why?
05 Jun 2011 23:21:19
Completely forgot to say earlier, Macheda will be gone in this window, not sure where to and for how much but he will be gone. Unfortunate as he's a very good prospect but with Hernandez ahead of him and Welbeck to be given a chance next season he wouldn't get much game time. Welbeck is the better prospect anyway offers a lot more option (position wise)

Syd/EDs/Mpez,
When are we going to be hearing about our first confirmed signing? We all know about Varane and De Gea, but what about the midfield? That's what I care about. Do we think a confirmed signing in the next to weeks. I'd personally like Modric, M'Vila and Sanchez, but I'm probably miles off.
