Hey Ed any chance of United getting Bale or Falcao? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - See previous answers please.}

Bale isn't interested in joining mate

How do you know bale doesn't want to join, I would break the bank for him

Bale would definately be interested in a move to manchester united, but then real madrid are involved and his agent will tell him to go to real for more money off course

Zzzzzzzz, do u really believe we'd pay £55/60m to Levy for Bale. He looks awesome because of the average surroundings. Same as Berba did. Although Berba was arguably MORE effective for spurs than Bale. IMO.

Hello ed 002.
Today some reports on other sites suggests that united would happily activate gotze's release clause of 34m euro if other competitors pushes them.

Rodio17 {Ed002's Note - The figure is wrong but if you use the search function I have explained the matter already.}

Ed. u said figure is wrong. so is it 34m pounds?

Rodio17 {Ed002's Note - I don't want to get in to the money as it simply confuses folks.}

Ed are we interested in Varane? The Mirror claims he has a 25m release clause and that Real are desperate to ofer him a new deal. It also says we are interested and he is switching agents to Mendes which might be a good sign. Any idea whether we have a chance?

Dan {Ed002's Note - I don't see there being any chance of Real Madrid selling Varane.}

I saw you're bit about different clauses in another site can't remember which one. If this is a termination clause then they might not have a choice? Or if it a release clause then it doesn't matter as much.

says United HAVE paid an advance for Falcao just like we did for De Gea.

Ballium galvje nbfrkjnvmzx wot ever his name is, the Spanish pundit has tweeted we have made a down-payment for falcao, how reliable is this bloke?Imagine the forward line of us with him, orgasmic, saf wanted to do better with our goal difference this year, the great man must want to blow rubbishty out the water next season if this rumour is true, joeyored {Ed002's Note - I spoke with someone from his primary owners today and they know nothing of any "deposit".}

Is his name not allowed on here or something Ed? {Ed002's Note - It was an attempt at spelling his name correctly.}

Fair enough ed002, this spainish bloke obviously fancied abit of the headlines with all the publicity this has caused, it does sound to good to be true, joeyored

I must confess gagus I did jumble up his surname as I was unsure if his real name was allowed, joeyored

Is there any truth in reports of interest in Raphael Varane?
Personally I think it's a load of rubbish but who knows

Falcao and now Varane, it looks like silly season is starting early this year. I can't say whether there is any truth in these rumours, but common sense would say they are a load of rubbish. When have we signed big name players for top money? We won't spend the 50m it would take to sign Falcao, and Varane is highly rated at Madrid, it would take a 35-40m bid to sign their best defender, which again we wouldn't pay. We sign players from smaller clubs who have potential and not as big a price tag. If we were going to sign Falcao we would have done so before he joined Porto, and if we were going to sign Varane we would have done before he signed for Madrid. When we could have picked these players up for less than 10m each. We were interested in both before they joined those clubs, but our interest in them dropped after they chose to join someone else. So I would say its just the press recyling old stories to selk papers.

Why Varane when the problem is both in central midfield and the fact we have 3 wide players who are no longer up to scratch?
Strootman and james Rodrigeuz should be the two main goals.

Didnt we nearly sign verane before he decided to join real madrid? - so why would we try and sign him now!

I love the rumour mill but, let's get serious. Varane chooses RM over United in June 2011. He's on a 6 year contract, paid a shed load of money and and he's playing regularly. Why on earth would he suddenly want to join United now?
Oh yes, it's because every Red Top editor knows they increase their readership if they lead with a United story, however spurious!
