Find it odd that people are saying they wdnt want sneijder I know he wants huge wages but imagine how much better we would have looked this season with him playing of Rooney I think motivated at a new club he could be amazing he could change our team Kagawa looks a good prospect and as Dus gaitan but they are know we're near the class of sneijder if we cud get him it would be a great pick up and if u don't think so just look at the football and how our season has gone he might be 27 that's 10 years younger then scholes and look at the impact he made what could sneijder do?the wages are high they are high at least we would be watching world class players at the moment as fans we are being let down a bit watching some of the players in our team most our rovals and top clubs wdnt touch em. Might be level on points but we have had a pretty poor Seanson all round by our standards and its all rooted in not buying the better players anymore for whatever reason. I'm like everyone else on hear just praying for that miracle transfer we all hope and pray is round the corner because boy do we ever need some talent in that team. What sucks is that we can all see the problems and lack of really quality but don't understand y nothing is being done and clubs around us are catching up and overtaking.

Fingers crossed forever red

Yes he may have looked awesome for 10 games and spent the rest of the season on the physios table....merely costing a s**tload

Pardoe

I have to say I fully agree Sneijder is a world class player,and he is the type of player we need to put fear into the opposition.we just don't have that now.he can change a game in an instant.we need him.hes quality.

I think we would have won the league if we had bought him. Can't say he'd pick up the same injuries over here, its a different league. Creativity in the centre of the park is exactly what we've lacked this season. All our pace and creativity comes from the wings, which is why it was so shocking that SAF didn't play our best wingers against City.
You can look at the Everton game but, for me, playing two players who hadn't played in months in Park and Nani against City that was criminal.
Dingle.

Totally agree, sneijder is just the type of player we need and the right caliber of player. We used to compete at the very top of the market, with barca and real madrid but now we compete with spurs and co. with the rise of man city we will go into decline if we refuse to move with the times

richie de laet and matty james both on their way to leicester city. Not sure on the fee. The clear out has started. Mort.

been away from posting for a while but was trying to find out something for well discussed LB situation. so what i managed to find by some chats from reserve staff and all that fabio is definatly going on loan to prove his physical abilities, SAF wants to see if he can stay fit for full season. if he fails its his last year.. (not liking this) but evra will continue to be our LB ( boooo) , and de laet will be his understudy.. i have mentioned it few times last year as well( a lot didnt agree with me,sp syd ), only reason he is not sold bcs SAF rates him high.and he is 23 now. so no LB purchase for us.. thats sure. RB is considered to provide rafael competition . ( he is under fire as well, due to fitness ans low physical ability) alzipuleeta(sorry for spell) and debuchi is being looked upon.

Nonsense.

Sydney!

What are your views on the matter apart from that Sydney?

Why syd? Does it because someone may know a little more than you?
Everything you say is mere opinion anyway! There's never any facts!

I have to agree with Sydney, most of that sounds like rubbish. We are currently looking for fullbacks (both sides i believe, but left is a priority) and de Laet is not highly rated by anyone except his mum

Jaxer

De Laet is for sale for starters, that is why it's nonsense. Don't you think the manager would have used De Laet instead of Fryers last season when the manager was struggling to find a LB? Come on wise up lads. De Laet will not be a United player next season and we will be buying a LB.

Sydney!

I'm sorry but agreeing with syd, this looks like it was written by a kid no offence.

Ozwald

Why do I not find this too hard to believe?! I hope you are wrong though

Apparently the m'villa deal to arsenal has broke down because he had a better offer from an English club?

Would be a good signing if I was us, lets wait and see

It would quite obviously be City, that's what they do.

Sanshine

I would imagine it would be City, with Nigel De Jong rumoured to be on his way out? Although it would make sense for us as we need a good DM & we have more financial power than Arsenal do

Nope its viera who wants him at city and he is going to be de jongs replacement. m'vila has liked the idea as he knows that in mancini's defensive approch ( SAF himself appriciated that) he will definatly get more game time and importance.
rodio17

Well sanshine if it is city we can all be happy that means we cn go for martinez or is he there main target n not m villa

dio

We dnt need Mvilla blocking off Tunnicliffe in the first team, give him a good run of games this season for the first team and he will be a regular in 2014. Showed flashes of the potential he has in the reserves playoff final game and what a player he could be for us!
-BIGRed

Arsenal are English,,,,,

Whistler.

He is waiting to see if Arsenal qualify for CL if not he wont sign

Pardoe

Bigred

Tunnicliffe is ready for first team action isn't he.....not!!
Stop waffling about these kids coming through we need players now not in two three years and who's to say In two or three years Tunnicliffe we have matured into a first team player. Anything could happen. On another note thank god Pogba looks like he's going, I'm sick of hearing people waffling sh&t about it.

anyone think we should go for david villa? i heard he may become available for 20m.

JK92

£20m for a what 30 year old that's still recovering from a broken leg? Hmm sketchy

Ozwald

I don't think he will be the same player that he was before. Any player that breaks their leg never plays the same afterwards again. It's as though they're scared to try and win anything in case they injure themselves again.

Alot of money for a 30+ year old with no sell on fee ,would rather go for a cavani hulk or the bilbao striker

David villa would b a great signing if we cn get him for 10-15million.

He'd help on and off the pitch, he's still got a few more seasons left in him.

JK92

Utd wont buy him for anything hes is to old with no sell on.... so zero chance imo

Pardoe

He's definitely worth 10/15mill and lee bought vanistelrooy after he broke his leg and look how good he became for us.

SAF knows class is permanent, and Villa is still probably the best Spanish striker out there, even at 30!

Mabzinho

Although i dont think we shud go as far as 20 mill i would say 12, valencia has come back from his leg break a much better player! also ben arfa

For £15 million i would say yes, for £20 i would question it. The lower fee would give us a fantastic player, and even if he isn't as mobile, his finishing is still some of the best in the world for sure.

RedDevil19

Van nistelrooy didn't break his leg he done his knee ligements in

Andy cole broke both legs and became a better player!! larsson also

Well my bad he didn't, according to Teddy sheringhams latest comments about man utd, he said we went in for VanNistelrooy a yr later after he broke his leg!

LOL I'll try an inform Teddy about his mistake.

Mabzinho {Ed007's Note - Shows what Teddy knows then doesn't it. It even made mainstream news when he broke down in training.}

Whats everyones thoughts on Ajax's right back Van Der Wiel? Established decent right back and good going forward. Think hes out of contract in a years time. People quoting him going for as little as £4m... Van Der Wiel will probably move in the summer and his preference remains Spain - and something may yet be worked out with Valencia. Real Madrid have also shown an interest in the player. Chelsea may maintain an interest but they remain more interested in Azpilicueta. Roma is another option for VDW.}

I havent seen too much of Van der Wiel but £4million for a 24 yr old ajax youth academy graduate doesnt sound to bad.

However Azpilicueta looks a real player, been very impressed with him everytime i've seen him play!

11 May 2012 13:11:04
I think we should forget about Hazard he is not willing to join man utd there are many other good players out there such as Gaitan, Munian,Rodriguez,javi martinez,oscar de marcos and even lucas moura.These players can bring quality to the midfield.

reports in manchester local paper have said direct comment from eden hazard " looking forward to next season ill be wearing blue definatly blue next season"

so city beat us again to a target has anyone else seen this article from todays paper {Ed002's Note - This story has been running all week.}

And his agent denied he said it?

GDS

It seems this summer will be the same as last summer man utd preparing to bid for there targets only to loose out to s****y, it just shows they cant find there own targets. in my opinion this is now the last chance the glazers have to really show how much they support the club. can only see us signing 2 MAYBE 3 players in the summer so they need to make them BIG BIG SIGNINGS. the only reason i feel he is going to S****Y is money, but thats how it is nowadays. i know alot of you inc eds are fed up with the sneijder rumours but i personally would still love to see him in the red shirt along with m'villa & kagawa



UNITEDFORLIFE75

M'vila and Kagawa would be great buys, but all WS would do is keep our medics busy. he's to old and has only had one good season, at club level since his Ajax days. Kagawa, M'Vila 25 million the pair, plus De Jong or Bas Dost for maybe 15 million and the lad from Crewe and Clyne 5 million the pair = 45 million of which 15 - 20 million would come from sales. I would love Lucas and Martinez too, but we just won't get more than 25 -30 million plus sales. Love to be wrong and get Lucas and Martinez too but they will cost 25 and 40 million each, which would mean the Glazers would need to cough up 90 -100 million, not very likely I'd say.
Mik

I unsderstand you saying De Jong or Bas Dost, but sneijder is only 27 and what player doesn't have injuries, i just think that if we could bring him in am pretty sure our medical team and coaches would get him fit and perfect condition. another player couple of players i would take a gamble on are dembele and dempsey both have big epl experience

UNITEDFORLIFE75

Something about this transfer 'saga' with Hazard feels similar to the Sanchez one last year which also happened at the start of the summer.....a young, exciting wide attacker, destined to be world class and we're supposedly 'in for him' but it turns out he choses another destination (or were we ever really in for him?)...when deep down I think the most of us always thought he would go elsewhere! We were just kidding ourselves. Hope my gut feeling is wrong this time though!

redcore!

Fergie wont sign african players because of the African nations cup

Copied and Pasted from tribal football... straight away this story is bulls**t

Heard through a source Michael Owen will be leaving this summer probably along with Anderson (Spanish Interest) and Vidic sadly as Barca are in need of defensive reinforcements.

Also incomings are progressing well for Javi Martinez and return of Ryan Shawcross from Stoke !!

It was believable until you mentioned Vidic but was then ruined.

Welsh Dragon

Whoever is in charge of the design of United kits have no clue as to what fans want.
Out here in Cape Town we don our jerseys on game days and cram around our television sets to watch all the games, so you'll have the big 5 supported teams out here in SA (United, Liverpool, Chealsea, Arsenal and Spurs) all sitting around the same set watching the games. Absolutly hate it that Man U jerseys have to look substandard compared to the other teams, although this season i was proud our kit looked better than the Liverfools.

Vidic is going nowhere

Shawcross won't be coming back to Old Trafford. I don't know where you got the info from about Barca needing defensive reinforcements... isn't Mascherano a defensive reinforcement?

With that said Pique has been out of favour just recently. Has he been injured?
