Deal for garay is nearlly done. I kno papers are saying it for weeks but we know it was not final. Next week we may see him sign.

Real Madrid are likely to bid £36m on Vidal, and apparently expect strong competition for his signature from Manchester united.
This surely has substance, as he would be the ideal signing for us. For me, if this was the only 1 we pulled off I'd be ecstatic. But Moyes said 'targets' not 'target'.
Can not see us spending £36m on a midfielder, although he's a good player just can't see it.
Ozwald
25m and nani?
Ozwald, why not? its what we need. we spent £30 mill on berbatov and that was 5 years ago
Berbatov wasnt 5 years older

Andrew, Berba was top scorer in the PL the season before, the price we paid was justified. £36m on a midfielder playing in Serie A? Seems a bit unrealistic.
Moyes emphasized managers are often judged on the players they sign and how successful they are, £36m on a midfielder from a different league could be a bit of a risk don't you think?
That's why it makes sense that Thiago is the player we're pushing hardest for at the moment, he's a real bargain with ability and a lot of potential, with the probability of him being a very successful signing.
Ozwald
We should spend
Luka Modric 20m
Gareth Bale 65m
Leighton Baines 16m
Sorry misread the post
vinny
As if people thi k we have a chance of signing Vidal? Who do you think we are and why would he take a step down to come here?
He does say he wants to stay at Juventus, so why would a bid from us make any difference?

This is about Thiago from ED2 on the Barcelona page:- {Ed002's Note - An ex-EPL player who played for Barcelona tells me that he expects him to complete his move to Munich within 10 days although Barcelona will continue to try to persuade him to stay.}
I think we must conced that united simply doesn't have the pull it once did. If we do fail to sign thagio, which I think is most likely now, we will no doubt continue to struggle against big sides. We are in major need of some midfield investment and until we get it I don't see us winning the league or much else. A lot is riding on a few key signings, but I don't see us making any with the thagio close to dead.
Without some more great players we won't attract any. Catch 22?
Lineker?
Ozwald
Ozwald, just trying to work out who as well. lineker's a good shout. there's also mark Hughes and didn't jordi Cruyff go to barca or was that in a parallel universe?
Personally I think Thiago wouldn't fit right here. on the field he's probably just what we need but insisting on a clause that demands he play doesn't sit right with me (and I suspect the powers that be feel the same). Give me players who know they want to be here, not diva's using United as a stepping stone.
Could be Henry, Gudjonsson or Larsson too.
Ben
Oh I'm so suprised, I thought this was a done deal and expected him to sign within so many days each week according to many jokers on here with 'apparent contacts'.
Just like Shrootman, should had been here for about a month now lol.
melwing28
Thiago wouldn't fit because he's a diva who wants to play a lot? Please get real, he's a highly talented young Spaniard who may well be a world star in a year or two. He's moving from Barca to get more first team football, we desperately need someone like him in midfield and we should have agreed to the clause he wanted. I dread seeing us outplayed in midfield, yet again, next season by teams who we should hammer. Sometimes, in life and football, you need to trust your judgement. Really sorry if we've lost him.
Did we really not rap this up because we refused to pay the clause?!
why not ask ed2 who his source is ?
It as been confirmed on the tv that he is signing for bayern sad but seems true
It is reported on TV that the deal for Thiago Alcantara has gone through and Bayern have signed him; it is also reported on ESPN that to date, MUFC have not sat down with anyone, including Rooney, to sort out a new contract.
Well, good luck to all those people who don't want to join/stay with MUFC.
Their loss, not ours. I'd rather win nothing than have anyone on board that either doesn't want to be there, or doesn't want to join.
MUFC is a religion, not a whim, and will always be greater than the individual.
MUFC fan for the best part of 50 years. Russ.
I don't think any player in the Italian league is worth that kind of money. the Italian league is a much lower quality then. Spain England and Germany they need to b realistic with there valuation but in sayin that Madrid r persons when it comes to money they'll probably fork out 50m for him and leave him on the bench. !

Ive seen a rumour that were after Antonio candreva. Couod people please leave comments as to what he's like. don't know much about him
Yup very good player likes to get wide, mainly on the right, good control and pace great shot, my big gripe is he spends more time on the floor than upright, but that is getting common for a lot of euro players. Express is reporting we are interested.
Anyone got any info on who Moyes is interested in? I've recently seen Vidal (I wish I wish) Thiago (please), Lamella, Davide Astori, Candreva and Baines of course.
Finally a word on and to the eds.
While unwarranted personal abuse should not be tolerated, you have the remedy in your own hands. Ban the abusers and block their ip addresses and email. We are not suffering, your site is.
Candreva is also co-owned so highly doubt united wld go down that road again. Tevez disaster comes to mind

Rooney going to finch farm tomorrow, could be part of deal for Fellaini and Baines, Don't shoot the messenger!
Maybe John Rooney, but not Wayne. How exactly would Everton afford his wages? And I suspect that wizard might want to keep playing champions league football.
Have you just woke up from that dream and still believe its true? I do that occasionally, but usually come to my senses before telling anyone lol!
And he's off to Folly farm Sunday!

Apparently we are trying to sign Brazillian Luis Gustavo to improve midfield. That's all I've heard, and to be honest don't know much about him.
Fred the red
Very good defensive midfielder. Been a bit unlucky that javi Martinez joined bayern. Since Martinez joined his playing time has reduced. Reminds me of Gilbert's silva.

I've been told that thiago will be signing and will join up in Australia. Pep apparently has agreed not to go after any Barcelona players this summer.
Andyp MUFC
Rubbish! With pepe's unhappiness about The Barcelona presidents comments about him not visiting Tito when he was ill and getting treatment in New York I think peep will not be doing them any favours.
He has publicly said that he wants Thiago though
Joe
Pep has burnt all his bridges with Barcelona. The only chance we'd have of getting Thiago now is if someone at Barca had a word in his ear and told him if he went to Bayern with Pep now, he'd never be allowed to come back to Barca in the future.
