@I'm looking forward to watching Lindegaard in the reserves tomorrow night. I cannot wait to check out his distribution and see how he deals with corners.

First post :
According to reports in L'Equipe, Lens' teenage defender Raphael Varane is attracting interest from Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. The reports also claim United have made contact with Lens after sending scouts to watch Varane on several occasions.

Has anybody heard much about this guy?

We seem to lose out on a few young players who decide they have a better chance of 1st team football elsewhere. If I were a decent young midfielder looking at our current crop id fancy my chances (particularly with giggs, schools and hargreaves likely to retire soon)

Personally, the young player I've been most impressed with this season is albrighton. Reminds me of Beckham with a bit more pace.

Ed what do you think of the chances of chamberlain signing as there is competition from arsenal
And liverpool and reports saying he is a liverpool supporter? What position is he?

{Editor Note: He's a midfielder mate. I think any one of the three who go in for him have a good chance of getting him.}

@I think it will be down to his dad where he ends up, supporting a club counts for nothing these days, so many players play for teams they never supported as a kid. I would imagine Arsenal will be favourites if they set up a Walcott type of deal, although Fergie will speak to the player directly and if that doesn't convince him to join United then nothing will. In two weeks United play Southampton in the FA cup, this will be a perfect chance for Fergie to introduce him to the United players. After meeting Rooney, Giggs, Scholes etc in the United changing room, if that doesn't impress him then i expect him to go to Arsenal.

Liverpool do have a good chance but their youth never seems to get a sniff these days. Footy is a funny old game, he will probably sign for Spurs.

Sydney!

Okay mate, Kuszczak has never said he wanted to leave, what he has said 'twice' is if he does not become the United number one then he will leave United.

He will never be the United number one therefore he will end up leaving. Adler & Stekelenburg imo are favourites but I would like to see us take a chance on De Gea personally. Adler would be my bet if I was a betting man.

Sydney!


You see Sydney, this is what winds me up about you, no disrespect or offence intended, Kuszczak is more than capable of becoming our number 1, he's clearly got the talent, i don't recall him ever having a bad game for United, He may punch the ball a little to often but that's something that can be ironed out of his game. Now, i'm not saying he will be the United number 1 i'm saying he has the ability, in my mind he'd walk into 17 out of 20 Premier League clubs, with the exception of City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Again, I still don't know why you're mentioned Stekelenburg we've been linked with him about 3 times, he's no better than Lindegaard or Kuszczak either. Just because he's a United fan and he's been Linked means nothing, i'm pretty sure there are a lot of football players who support United and have been linked with us but 99.99% of them don't sign. I've never heard Sir Alex or anything official from United that expresses an Interest in him, either through praise or transfer discussions.

Adler, again, i don't understand why he's a favourite to sign because he supports us, i know his agent and himself have said he's interested but again, it means nothing.

In my opinion Van Der Sar will sign another year or we'll buy someone that no-one expects and that nobody knows.

Possibly De Gea, and if you look at the evidence he's got to be the front Runner? But i have no idea, all i know is i'll probably focus on my smaller local side if well sell off Kuszczak and buy Stekelenburg.

I hope i didn't cause offence, but i had to get that off my chest.

In reply to:

"MPez {ed's note - I thought Evra was staying now, especially as it looks like Madrid are getting Coentrao, in which case why replace him?}"

That's why I thought too.
But if Evra stays then he could be signed for Left-Wing as he is more than capable to play there. He would fit the bill.
Excellent Left-Foot and would fix our Free-Kick taking problems.

What do you think Ed? And also Sydney! What do you think, if you are reading this.

MPez {ed's note - I would think it more likely you will go for a specialist left winger.}

Have heard some info that Manchester United are planning a £22m move for Michel Bastos, (Brazil) of Olympique Lyonnais, after the Brazilian Wing-Back turned down the chance to move to Juventus.

He turned Juventus down after Lyon indicated to the Turin Giants that they would be willing to part with the player dubbed the 'Brazilian' Gareth Bale.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that Bastos turned down Juve in hope of a move to somewhere else instead of wanting to stay in France. He is willing to ask Bastos the same question with a £22m offer for Lyon.

This comes after the ageing Patrice Evra is reported to want to move to Madrid.

Ed, what do you think? Is Michel Bastos on the cards for United? He is possibly the player Fergie wants in Jan?

Chelsea and Lyon have apparentely been in contact over a possible move for Pjanic in the summer. SAF is reportedly keeping tabs on the proceedings as Pjanic has been a target for a long time.

Sir alex was at the game last night to watch oldham and southampton to look at ben amos who at loan at oldham but he was also checking out southamptons alex Chamberlain and he will move quick after losing out before on bale and walcott

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I think SAF would have no problem losing out on the "next Walcott". Walcott is just fast but can't cross and has a very average technique.
