Listen up my loyal followers, i shall say this only once. David De Gea is at the momment staying in Spain. But i heard that you were now looking at the Dutch keeper Stelenburg (spelling). Believe me or don't lads, i don't give a toss (like you already know).

Not a regular poster but do make irregular contributions if something sounds worthy.

Firstly I have heard similar rumours to the Sneijder ones I've been reading, but from what I'm told the fee is closer to 26m than higher estimates. That is for reasons I don't fully understand though, and having heard this through a middle man rather than direct source makes me question it.

Secondly if the sneijder deal does happen Fergie will look to bring in Lass Dirra, as a defensively orientated midfielder. This is down to both his likely availability, and heavily due to Fergie wanting a player that can play along side sneijder, without comprising a 4-4-2 setup.

Lastly I'm told De Gea deal is next to finished, and rumours of him being reluctant to leave Spain are wide of the mark, and on the contrary he is desperate for a chance at a top European club, supposedly the rumours are manufactured to try and gain higher wages, as well as a larger agents fee. (seems unlikely in my personal opinion)

Again this is all from an indirect source, and peoples opinions are always welcome, would be interesting to make comparisons.

FERGIE HAS DECIDED THAT YOUTH IS THE BEST WAY FORWARD. HE WILL INCORPORATE RAVEL MORRISON , RYAN TUNNICLIFFE , PAUL POGBA , JOSHUA KING , TOM CLEVERLEY AND DANNY WELBECK INTO THE FIRST TEAM
FREDRICO MACHEDA WILL BE SOLD AS HE DISREGARDED FERGIE'S ADVICE AND WENT TO ITALY
I CAN CONFIRM THAT DE GEA WOULD NOT BE BROUGHT
MARTEEN STEKLENBERG IS THE PREFERRED OPTION
ALSO SNEIJDER'S AGENT IS CREATING ALL THESE RUMOURS ABOUT UNITED . HE WONT BE BROUGHT IN.
RAPHAEL VARANE WOULD BE BROUGHT WITH OBERTAN GOING ON LOAN . EITHER OF
EDEN HAZARD AND ALEXIS SANCHEZ WOULD BE BROUGHT

Sport.co.uk understands FC Istres starlet Florian Lejeune, who has been closely monitored by the Premier League trio of Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, as well as La Liga giants Real Madrid, will sign for a top five English or Spanish club in the next few days.

First I've heard about him, but he's been touted as the next Laurent Blanc, so he can't be bad!

BAD NEWS FOR NEUER HOPEFULS . .

Bayern Munich increase Neuer bid

Bayern Munich have reportedly increased their offer for Manuel Neuer, a day after admitting they were unlikely to reach agreement with Schalke for the goalkeeper.
The Bavarians' first offer for the Germany number one was a long way short of what Schalke are wanting for the 25-year-old, making Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge sceptical about a deal being reached.
However, Bayern are now believed to have offered around 21 million euros (£18.3million) for the Germany goalkeeper, who becomes a free agent next year. Last month's original offer was thought to be around 18 million euros (£15.7million).
Rummenigge and Bayern managing director Karl Hopfner recently met with Schalke directors Horst Heldt and Peter Peters and Rummenigge admitted to Bild newspaper: "We had a decent conversation."
The Bayern chairman confirmed yesterday the club would definitely be signing a new goalkeeper, with Mainz's Heinz Muller another reported target should they fail with a bid to land Neuer - who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United.

Ashley young set to join up for Park + Owen/ or 8m!

Firstly to the guy that wrote this, why would we sell Park he has been class recently. . .

On to rumours, De Gea is number 1 choice as Bayern have officially offered 21m Euros for Neuer. .

Sneijder also on the cards, 30 million offer and 150k wages.

Rodwell deal already signed sealed, 17 million rising dependent upon trophies and apperances.

The Sneijder funds are available and happily many more besides 135mill.

On a positive note Sneijder over the last few weeks was at a European Sport Bash and spoke to Ronaldo and asked about UTD and playing there.

Ronnie gave us a glowing recomendation so the fact that he's asking shows he's interested.

Cheers Ronnis. . come on Sneijder.

Nico.

is it true then that united are only waiting for owners to fund the move for sneijder? If this is the case. . what are the odds of them giving fergie the cash?

Who else is on united's radar? all this talk of de gea/ Neuer, Douglas costa, sanchez, goetze got any truth in them?

Yes, there are more than just De Gea and Sneijder being worked on.

The one you are saying, I would guess would be Raphael Varane.

You are right in thinking deals are looking to be completed nice and early in the Window.
This is to make sure the new players get settled in, in Manchester and the Club facilities etc. and also so they can be with the current squad for longer than would be usually.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see one or two deals done in the first week and a half.

dear mr mpez
as usual ngiak has no names of who are coming
just a rough idea of the transfer activity and a little guess work
it looks like 2 players are already wrapped up and one on the way
hopefully it's all true and the squad is strengthened with these guys, welbeck and cleverley and a few youth players
well time will tell

Three things caught my eye this morning. Mourinho first up. Eight academy players called up this season. Someone should tell him he's not sticking to his anti youth policy. Two, macheda going. Its shame if its true. Left footed different option. He shoulda listened to alex and got a loan close by. Wasn't clever. And thirdly a subject of near misses. Vidic to fiorentina?? Cantona to liverpool on platinis recommendation?? And my fav the roy keane to blackburn story "nobody does this to king kenny and gets away with it" daglish was reported to have said. Or something close to it. Brilliant. But last and just plain scary. In a real we could all be speaking german moment. Alex to arsenal? that was close. Ich liebe dich man u! Constantine Red
