Whoever saying United want Real Madrid's Morata is wrong. Real won't sell him plus United are not interested.

Luckily Tottenham and Liverpool increase their efforts to sign Ashley Young. He still would prefer to go to United but you have other options in mind and he would actually be a plan B if they don't work out (Sanchez, Costa).

The Jelavic rumour has came from the daily mail in Scotland and that Sir Alex is going to table a £15m bid for Jelavic. If you ask me he's worth double that. {Ed007's Note - £30 million??}

As most fans are aware SAF is interested in Sneijder, and as some may know Inter are willing to do a deal so long as Nani is involved in the transfer, rumour has it at first SAF was put off by this, but may be willing to look at it now, the reason being he has been closely watching Bal zs Dzsudzs k of PSV, a left footed winger to work the left wing where Nani hasn't had the greatest time, the one thing that may be hindering this is Dzsudzsak's disciplinary record, he has been a revelation in Holland scoring goals galore from the wing, and providing numerous assists, however Fergie doesn't want another Afonso Alves, he was a goal machine in Holland but any Boro fan will tell you in a harder league he couldnt hit a barn door with a shot gun if he was sat on the handle, however Bal zs Dzsudzs k would be bought to supply balls for the strikers ala Valencia.
This is not definate but may well happen depending how much SAF wants Sneijder.

What's the news down south about you'd buying nikixa jelavic ? If you'd get him it will be some signing for you he's takin rangers by storm 14 goals this season when he was out for 4 month which also includes 3 overhead kicks in his tally ! Has there been much talk of him joining Manchester United ?


Rangers fc champions 10/ 11 {Ed007's Note - Only from Rangers fans which is strange. He Signed a 4 year contract in August so I can't understand Rangers fans wanting to sell one of their best players, and I seriously doubt anyone would be willing to bid £10-15 million pounds for him}

I was just wondering, Is there any truth in Sneidjer actually joining?

i mean we all want him and he seems the logical replacement for Scholes BUT does that mean we're in for him?

Personally i'd rather have schweinsteiger.

and in my opinion I think Rooney is the Scholes replacement and we'll play the exact way that the likes of Sydney are suggesting, that means to me that we need the holding midfielder, We've got the box2box in Fletcher and at times in Carrick, As most have said we to replace Hargreaves, so maybe the De Rossi is true? and if that's the case i can only see us signing a Keeper and possibly a striker.

Can anybody confirm with actual evidence that we've spoken to Sneidjer? And saying that Sir Alex rates him is not good enough in my books :-).

I have just read on sky sports that Roma are interested in moving for sandro this summer! this could mean that united are in fact looking at de rossi??

Also on sky sports quotes ashley young saying he wants to "win trophies"
I think u will see him move in the summer. . chance of united

what u think ed? {Ed007's Note - I don't know anything about the move for De Rossi if there is one, but I don't think Young is good enough for Utd TBH}

"{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what package was put together by Inited or Chelsea but both were turned down. Juventus are the latest club to be trying to put a package together.}"

How can somebody be so greedy ed? At this rate, he won't get into a top club ever!

{Ed002's Note - It was desparation by Atletico that led to this. If he wants that sort of package it means he would need to go to Turkey or Russia.}

{Ed002's Note - I rather think that Canales would cost more than a couple of million. If and when Kaka leaves Madrid I expect he will return to Italy (either Milan club or Roma). If he moves to England then perhaps Manchester City. Only a very slim chance of a move to Chelsea.}

@I agree, Canales would cost closer to £10m, but he is more than just potential, United wanted him before he moved to Real Madrid. He would be that 4th winger we need, move Giggs permanently to the centre. The move wouldn't be just to help De Gea settle as United targeted him in 2009 anyway. I think it would be a clever bit of business.

Ed002, How far away was United's wage offer to Aguero from being accepted? Do you know what we offered that was rejected?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I expect that we will see some midfield players leave Real Madrid, but not Canales (unless it is a loan). Diarra is certainly available but my advice would be to steer well away as there is an enormous nuisance/ baggage factor that goes with him. I suspect Granero will also be made available - and an outside chance of Gago. If Canales goes on loan he will need to be getting a regular start and I doubt a move to England will give him that. I suspect that players will not be bought to help De Gea settle.}

@We have done it before Ed. We bought Tosic & Llajic together, when Llajic was our main target. Llajic didn't want to go to England alone so we bought Tosic. Then in the end Tosic ended up coming to England alone because Llajic had his work permit rejected. I don't think United signing a cheap Spaniard with potential to help De Gea settle is totally out of the question. We need to secure a keeper this summer, that is crucial.

Sydney!

{Ed002's Note - You think that Wesley Sneijder will bring Arjen Robben to Old Trafford as his friend?}

@Sneijder isn't having homesickness issues is he? It's well documented that De Gea is worried about coming to England at his young age. Do you think spending a couple million on another Spaniard with potential to help him settle in is so unlikely?

Ed002 any news to report? Do you know what package United offered Aguero that was rejected by the greedy little man? Are the Kaka to Chelsea rumours true?

United are interested in Real Madrid's Morata & Canales, Canales is the more likely to move after his disagreements with Jose, and with Jose expected to give Real Madrid one more year, Canales is very likely to be offloaded whether it's permanent or in the shape of a loan. I believe Canales will also help De Gea settle, both Spanish U21 players and apparently good friends. This could be what we need to seal the De Gea move?

Ed002, do you believe Canales could be bought for those two reasons, the fact that he is a class player and it would be a way to soften the move for De Gea, who is clearly worried about going to England on his own. Canales has recently said he would go to either Arsenal or United if they were to come in for him once again.

I HAVE A FRIENDS WHO LIVE IN FRANCE TOLD ME MAN UNITED CONTACT RENNES ABOUT MIDFIELD YANN M'VILA AND THE FEE IS ABOUT 13M-15M, ALSO WE'RE GOING TO SIGN DAVID DE GEA A FEE FOR HIM AS BEEN AGREED 17-18MILLION, HE WILL SIGN END OF THE SEASON, ABOUT SNEIJDER FEE AS BEEN AGREED 26MILLIONS.ALSO BECAUSE MICHAEL OWEN WONT GET A NEW CONTRACT WE STILL LOOKING FOR 1 STRIKER.

In feply:

I too believe United are confident De Gea will sign. Sneijder is also 1st choice to replace Scholes, I expect fee to be nearer £33m though, with Modric as backup. However, after hearing the Xavi rumours (however unlikely), SAF may try and tempt Barca with a £40m bid. He is pure quality and would thrive at United. A bit of Spanish company for De Gea?

We won't sign another over 21 year old due to PL limits but I do expect a young CM target to be signed. I've heard Rodwell is a done deal. £17m may seem expensive but SAF is confident he is a real gem even it it takes 2/ 3 seasons to progress him.

Midfield options of Sneijder/ Modric/ Xavi (takes Scholes' squad place), Fletcher, Giggs, Carrick, Anderson, Rodwell (under 21), Gibson and Cleverley (Hargreaves). That'll do me for next season.

Welbeck to replace Owen.

Any thoughts on the Xavi rumours Ed?

Stockie {Ed002's Note - I don't see Xavi moving to Manchester United.}

A lot of suggestions as to who we should buy on this site. I will give another angle. Who we should avoid.
Stekelenberg (spelling) is not Utd class. Please SAF leave him to others.
Charlie Adam has had 1/ 2 a good season but is alo nowhere near the quality that we need.
Rodwell, why ? I have seen little in him to warrant the size of fees muted on this site.

Love Utd, hate the Glazers.
