Imagine if we sign Ronaldo on jan transfer deadline day. I would probs scream like a liitle girl and then have a heart attack from the excitement. Getting excited while typing this :D

James

How old are you james ?

It's really not gonna happen though is it, lets be honest

James mate, you need to get out more...

AJH

I'll scream if I ever read another stupid post like this

Dustbin

Be pointless signing him this transfer window because he wouldn't be able to play in FA Cup or Champions League matches because he would be cup-tied.

Better off waiting until the summer transfer window to try and get him.

Apart for the original post, the last reply is the most pointless post I ever read.

So what if he is cup tied in FA and CL? Surely if there was chance (and I don't believe there is by the way) it wouldn't matter if he was cup tied cos he could still help towards winning us the league?

If we didn't sign him in Jan and waited till summer (and this goes for any cup tied player) surely it's better to have them available for some of the games, rather than none?

I've never understood the 'but he's cup tied argument).

DanW

How can he be cup tied in the fa cup

Plus, he may be cup tied but he still would be playing for Real Madrid against us would he...

I'm sorry, I didn't realise that Madrid played in the FA Cup. Also, we will never sign him, but if we were to sign him, now would be perfect as then we would haveb to play agaisnt him, LOL.

Fresh!

Are you for real ...Little girl !

I'm like to win the euro millions, buy ronaldo myself and have a kick about in my back garden. Just as much chance of happening as the first post. imho.

Joe.a

If Madrid buy Bale for 55 Million, we give them De Gea and Nani plus 60 million for Ronaldo. Everyone is happy but its all far fetched we don't have the cash.

From what I have heard through sources is that we will sign zaha for an initial £8 million then add ons up to £12 million, keep him on loan there till summer. then SAF will give crystal palace fort choice on loan players to try and help them get promotion from the championship

Macheda & Powell maybe?
Gotta wait for Powell to get fit.
TJ

Could do but that's all I heard, i think macheda and powell would be great for them and contribute to a few goals to help CP on there way!

Anyone else think that Powell looks a bit cumbersome.

Will be a quality player, and has a similar style to videos I've seen of whiteside, but he needs to lose some weight.

manchester united are set to make a player + money deal for cristiano ronaldo of real madrid

I think in the summer, if we are going for it, we will offer £60 million + Nani. You never know, Rooney could be involved, but somehow I don't see that being likely.

Fresh!

How many times this non sence will keep on comming? Waaaakkkkee up
Rodio17

I hate to say it but i just cannot see us (a) being able to finance such a deal (b) madrid being prepared to sell, you have to see that without ronaldo they are at best an average side selling him would pretty much guarantee they would not even present a decent challenge to europes elite, also the galactico policy is going to struggle as there are not really any galactico style players about at the mo ! how on earth could you replace ronaldo? we still haven't

dean

The RvP saga should have taught us that anything is possible in football!

Well to be fair, if he doesn't sign a new contact, Real have to sell, or let him leave free a year later, so at the moment its a serious possibility.

Don't you think that Sir Alex wasn't shrewd enough to build a clause into Cristiano's sale to Real allowing him to buy him back at the end of his that contract? Sir Alex is a master of 'the deal'. Nani and De Gea to Real, and Cristiano back to his 'birth place'. WATCH THIS SPACE!

Why would you get rid of de gea?

He's class!

10 Jan 2013 22:56:05
De gea being pushed out the door in a few papers tomorrow ED002 do you know if there are concerns over him and if he is likely to leave? {Ed002's Note - Perhaps the end of the season when Atletico will need a new golakeeper.}

Wow Is the player unhappy in England or are the club not happy with how he has settled ED? {Ed002's Note - My understanding is that Manchester United are still looking to resolve a perceived GK problem - I suspect when Courtois leaves Atletico Madrid in the summer a viable option will be for De Gea to move there.}

He's a young keeper, world class shot stopper and the rest of his game will only improve . I don't want to see him leave at all

Dustbin

If this is true . I would feel as tho the team as a whole would of let him down . We have been very average defensively . Which doesn't help

11 Jan 2013 16:11:41
ddg is quality i hope this is bull fergie im sure can see how much potential this guy has!REDWILL

I can't see him leaving, he's 22 and already made some world class saves that hardly any other keeper in the world could have made. Not only good ones but important ones, the save from Juan Mata's free kick? Courtois is the only other keeper as good for his age.

its rubbish. The problem isn't number one its number two as neither Lindegaard or Amos isn't good enough.

Lindegaard is a very good number two, it's whether he is happy to be the number two that is the question. But he did agree a new deal not long ago which suggests he is happy at the club. Is DDG happy at the club? Are the club 100% happy with him? Begovic IMO has looked very commanding this season and he does have good reflexes like Ben Foster. I think with Smalling and Evans in the team we can live without DDG's distribution. I am a big fan of DDG and would like the club to stick by him, but none of us know for sure what is happening. Ed002 also knows what he is talking about so the media stories could well be accurate.

Sydney!

DDG will become an excellent keeper as long as he settles. For those of you that are keen on books, read "A Life Too Short". It's a biography of Robert Enke. It is a good read but it describes very well how a young keeper (any player) in a foreign counrty can struggle.
I think if Utd stick with DDG we have a top class goalie.

Pip

Ed002 do you see Courtois heading back to Chelsea? Move again on loan? Or on a more permanent deal?

TK-Red {Ed002's Note - He is a Chelsea player who will return to the club for consideration by the manager and then the club will take it from tehre. The intention remains that he is the replacement for Cech.}

Sidney - This is something that we are in 100% agreement about. There is much to admire about DDG, all he needs is another 10 - 15kilos of extra muscle.
Mik

I think lindegaard will go and de gea will stay. I believe we will sign a back up keeper. Hopefully we will be getting Raymond van der gouw out of retirement.

But in all seriousness, why would the club sell de gea?

Ed do you know if we are in for Yang Mbiwa this transfer window?

Cheers,

Rudderpost {Ed002's Note - Mbiwa had been of serious interest to AC Milan, Lille and Fenerbahce but having signed a new deal at Montpellier they will not be looking to sell in January unless a significant offer were made and Montpellier may then look to start an auction. The summer may see further interest from Milan and both Chelsea and Arsenal may bid for Mbiwa.}

It has been written in a French publication that he has a release clause for 10M euros and that we have made contact. Can any of the Ed's confirm?

hi, a ? for ed002, do you believe what is being reported on ssn about us not being interested in lampard/cole or have you heard differently ? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what SSN are reporting but am pretty sure there has been no approach from MUFC to Chelsea regarding either player.}

09 Jan 2013 09:32:49
If any of the Eds are aroound can they please tell me that the stuff about Ashley Cole is just tabloid fodder? Ive never even questioned not supporting a Utd player but I couldnt bring myself to cheer that guy. {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of approach to Chelsea but I understand there is an intention to hold talks with Real Madrid, and possibly PSG.}

11 Jan 2013 10:40:00
Nani and Anderson have returned to the squad, I would love to see both play a part in the game, real game changers.

-JakeW

Good to see someone actually supporting a United player (Nani) as every other fan just slags him off! It is not his consistency that needs to change, it is his decision making, he needs to know when to pass and when to take someone on, that is his only problem stopping him from becoming one of the best in the world IMO.

nani to sign for arsenal

11 Jan 2013 02:10:51
Ince has already signed for Liverpool.

Jamie

That's odd because I just saw him on SSN in Blackpool talking about Appleton to Blackburn
