Manchester United Rumours
Has there been any interest in juan mata from manchester united? I think he could be a great signing and wouldn't be to much with valencia's money problems. I remember reading a post when some one said fergie always brings in a players from the same league, so could mata and de gea be an option? What are your thoughts ed and seagull (where ever you are lol). An any info on players united may bring in, in jan or the summer.
P!& {ed's note - I haven't heard of any interest in him, I think Valencia have enough players that will be leaving, I doubt they will let him go too. Banega is the most likely to leave as he has fallen out with Unai Emery.}

Sanchez from Udinese

OUT: Hargreves
Carrick
Gibson

What do u think Ed? {ed's note - would be excellent signings but I can't see all 3 joining.}

sorry to dissapoint, but utd won't sell 3 central mids if scholes is going to retire some time soon. We are already are lacking talent in that area any way

plus Henderson isn't ready yet and hamsik would cost too much for us

@Completely agree mate, i think Rafael will be a long term United RB. Hes top quality and as soon as Evra leaves or retires in a couple years Fabio will replace him long term. We may well need a player who could back-up both RB & LB in a couple years time when O'Shea leaves as the twins are prone to injuries.

I`d be surprised if anything major happens in January unless it`s sealing-up moves for the summer.
In the summer I`m expecting a suitable replacement for VDS and one for Hargo (such a shame!). Owen`s spot will be given to Wellbeck, and hopefully Macheda will be sent off to a Prem club for regular football. Neville won't be replaced (sorry Gaz).
Bye bye Kuszczak.
Hopefully the rumours about Evra and Rooney leaving are untrue.
I think Giggs and Scholes will be begged to stay on because Sir Alex knows their experience is invaluable to the squad.

I`d like Shawcross to come home. And the Chilian trio of Isla, Sanchez and Vidal all look impressive but priority must be GK and CM.
A complete guess would be Skelk and Henderson in the summer.

Phil Neville for future Utd manager! I saw it in a dream.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS I HAVE HEARD
GOALKEEPER-
WE WILL BRING IN AN EXPERIANCED GOALKEEPER SUCH AS NEUER, STELKENBERG AS WELL AS LINDEGARRD.
DEFENCE-
A LOT OF TALK OF RYAN SHAWCROSS AND FABIO (FROM BENFICA) HE WONT BE BROUGHT IN BECAUSE IT WILL SPOIL FABIO DA SILVAS PROGRESS
MIDFIELD-
RODWELL LOOKS LIKELY TO BE BROUGHT IN AND IF NOT THEN DEFOUR/HENDERSON. SANCHEZ IS NOT A TARGET AT THE MOMENT.
FOWARDS-
BENZEMA WILL BE LOOKED AT DEEPENDING ON BEGERTOVS AND ROONEYS PREFORMANCE. HULK IS BEING CONSIDERED(REALLY UNLIKELY )

OUTS WILL INCLUDE
EVANS (LOAN)
MAYBE MACHEDA

@Let me just say that Anderson's agent is of course 'Jorge Mendes' so it would not surprise me if Anderson is on like 10-20k a week in wages. So he may have cost £20m in fee and agent fees but United are saving a bomb by paying him very little in wages.

""". . Sir Matt would be so proud. RAINFISHTROMBONE"""
dear mr rainfishtrombone,
in this day and age, you expect man united to dominate all teams they meet? are you stuck in the last century or in FIFA football playstation?
man united actually did play a good game and considering the conditions, the most in form team in the league, the league leaders, the cut up pitch and the blistering cold, we actually did play good football.
and do you know that there is such a thing as tactics in this game? do you play to he opponents strengths or weaknesses, my dear fellow man united fan? a very simple question?
and by the way, man united are REKNOWNED for their counterattacking soccer. soak and strike. they did that to absolute perfection. finally.
you want total domination? even barcelona can't do that day in day out. you know they lost a game at home against. .er. . who? heracles or hercules or some team like that?
and ngiak will be certain the late sir matt busby will be EXTREMELY appreciative for the effort put in by this team last night. and so would most TRUE fans.
show some appreciation we don't have ronaldo, we don't have kaka, we don't have whoever else you think will form your FIFA dream team. but we have a hell of a good TEAM who are trying and working for each other and the club. ngiak and probably sir matt busby, would rather have that. .

Sydney just a little information for you: When Manchester United signed Anderson in 2007 the fee was never officially disclosed but widely put at £18m. It largely passed under the radar that Porto's accounts later revealed they had received ‚Ǩ30m (£25.3m at today's exchange rates) for the Brazilian, making him the fifth most expensive player Sir Alex Ferguson has ever bought (behind Dimitar Berbatov, Rio Ferdinand, Juan Sebasti?°n Ver??n and Wayne Rooney). It is a lot of money for someone who has scored only two goals in 110 appearances for the club. RAINFISHTROMBONE

@Okay mate, ‚Ǩ30m back in June 2007 was EXACTLY £20.2m, was it definitely ‚Ǩ30m and not ‚Ǩ27.8m or ‚Ǩ28.6m, i could tell you exactly was the exchange rate was.

But ‚Ǩ30m back in June 2007 was £20.2m.

Dear mr rainfishtrombone,
so what is anderson ging to do if man united bought him for 5 pounds or 50 million pounds?
he was injured and he is back and playing well
what do you want? cut him up to 30 pieces and sell each for a million and put the proceeds in your funds to destroy the club?
you are being more ridiculous by the day.
do you want him to wear a superman suit and score 30 goals per game?
he is 22 years old for heavens sake, and he just might be younger than even you!
give the bugger a break. . you could not have asked for much more from him than his last 4 games. after many months from a very bad injury. .
are you jealous, sour, bitter, scorned, hurt, insecure, broke, homeless, in pain or lonely dear sir?
why so much negativity?
you need help? you seem to have some "friends" on this site. maybe they can provide you with what you need. . let ngiak know what will make your holiday period better please. see what he can do.

I am quite amused at the reaction I got to my last post by people like Ngak or gan or whoever he is. It seems that winning is all that matters and the way we win doesn't. We are Manchester United and we should have a swagger and style about us. Yes we got a lead and held onto it but did we out play an Arsenal midfield that went forward every time it got the ball? I said that Vidic was the best player on the park and in the team what does that tell you about the game when your centre half is your best player. This is a decision that Fergie has made looking at the players he has. In the past he had players who would go up against any team and out play them. Not so now. One up front at home and hoofing a long ball Sir Matt would be so proud. RAINFISHTROMBONE

Now the bombshell. . .
rooney will be sold either in jan or at end of season but he is gone. fergie was annoyed to say the least over the whole rooney saga and felt betrayed by him and his actions he also didn't like the fact he had to eat humble pie and then give him a mega payrise he apparently felt the player was holding the club to ransome. However we all know how shrewed he is he only did it because he knew the club could not pay those kind of wages for too long and by agreeing a new deal the club will get far more off him by selling . well 3 clubs want him but the question is could he live abroad barca will pay 50m reall will pay 50m or include ramos and benzema in deal with money however city have offered 80m and now tevez is leaving and rooney is reluctant to move abroad could seal the deal. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For f*ck sake, would you please get it into your thick head that Rooney is staying at United. Tevez is leavin'. Awwww, it's so heart wrenching isn't it City? Tevez wants to be at City just as much as any other player at that club. Full of mercenaries. Why would Rooney go to that disease infested dump? Blue Moon? That moon just blew up! False Dawn!

Here's a few loan deals happening next season.

Jonny Evans - clearly lacking confidence, good overall defender that needs games to come out of his bad spell. Possible clubs such as Sunderland, Bolton or Wolves (if they survive).

Diouf - will stay at Blackburn for another year to prove he is EPL quality, if not he's gone!

Macheda - needs more first team experience, sub apprearences are not enough for this talent to shine. Will seal a loan move to a EPL club, nowhere else. The last thing he needs is to learn to play in a different league.

Ed, your views?

EireRed {ed's note - I personally think Evans and Macheda will be shipped out rather than loaned out. I don't think either have done enough to keep their place and neither are flexible enough to play lots of positions.}

"""What did we learn from last night, , , """
dear mr rainfishtrombone,
ngiak learnt that with fans like you who know nothing about football, who needs sir bob the red.
anderson had a fantastic game and ran his heart out. after playing so many games after a long long layoff. and what does he get? a rollicking.
you should be the manager, ngiak believes.
lets play 4-2-4 against barcelona, shall we?
that should be tactically very astute.
looks like we learnt a lot last night dear sir. . mainly about you. .

Look at our team.I think, rooney plays well as a supporting striker.& we can't depend on Berba in case of big matches.But they may be good for premier league.but we should improve our attacking side with a genuine striker like Yorke, Cole, Nistelrooy.Torres may be brought in.one of Rossi, Andy carrol, neymar, pato may be good too.

*in midfield, 2 or 3 from:
Ganso, ashley cole, adam johnson, rodwell, henderson, defour will be good enough.

*in defence:
Shawcross, sidnei, david luiz, subotic- -1 of them may be brought

*in goal keeping:
Neuer or akinfeev
{Editor's note - Ashley Cole as a Midfielder?}

I wish Bale, Modric, Neuer, can replace our legends like Giggs, & Scholes, & VDS respectively.I prefer Bale because of his pace.Look at the playing style of Spurs.Bale & Lennon speeds up every game only because of their pace.Modric can score too, just Scholes did for us for many years.Neuer likely to a move from Bundesliga.He has gathered experiences from big matches of world cup too. . .

@Sydney.

Why are you so sure that we are signing stekelenburg? There is no evidence to support this at all, Yes he's an average keeper, nothing more, nothing less, he had a good world cup and a good qualifying campaign, and i'm fairly sure that if it wasn't for him you, as most of the people who watch football wouldn't know who he was, (i know of him because i've been to three Ajax games in the past). Most of the people who claim he's our prime target are basing it on the fact that he succeeded Van Der Sar at Ajax and at Holland so he must be succeeding him and United, Well that is worst Logic i've ever heard! now i'm not saying this was your logic because i can't remember who said it, i just want to know why you're so sure it would be him?

You'll most likely disagree that i only regard him as an average keeper but theres nothing that makes him stand out, if he wasn't dutch and if Holland never qualified for the World Cup then everyone would suggest you're stupid for signing him.

I don't know who we'll sign to replace Van Der Sar, my own opinion would be that he'll sign one more year, play a rotating game with Lindegaard and then Lindegaard would be the new number 1 with Ben Amos as number two. I may be wrong, and i assume you would suggest it's because of his wife that he won't sign another extension, but his wife suffered the problem LAST december yet he still signed a 1 year extension in February of last year.

I won't be surprised if we sign a keeper but i'd be surprised if this keeper was stekelenburg simply because there hasn't been much of a link and Sir Alex has never even mentioned his name.

Here's an interesting thought which i think has escaped everyone, theres been media speculation that united are interested in Nilmar from Villareal, they make this assumtion on the fact that there have been united scouts at there games and Nilmar has been the stand out player for them this season scoring 9 in 15, but wat if they were scouting a player you don't want to stand out? a player who only stands out when he makes a mistake? of course i mean the goalkeeper Diego Lopez. now we've been linked with him before but it seemed to go cold and people forgot about him so his price will have come down to the point that he is now good VALUE for money and at 29 he is definatley experianced doesn't that fit Sir Alex's criteria? and it would be just like him to pull a rabbit outta the hat. Now i have no inside info on this its just a gut instinct. so wat do you guys think?

Shappy

@Okay mate? Nah i have to disagree, its very important when we replace VDS that we replace him properly, Stekelenburg is the man to replace him.

Villareal have some decent players, i would guess that Montero was being looked at, the Ecuador left winger is just 21. Nilmar & Rossi could be the others?

All your rumours are good to hear, but we need to sell some players to make moves for sanchez, vidal and isla etc. Vidal is the only player who can come in at the moment. till rafael playing good i don't see isla coming , we already have oshea and brown who can play RB role, not top quality but useful. Sanchez may come only because park is unavailable for 7 matches and valencia out till march but cleverly may fill that slot.

Sorry, perhaps I can re-word it for you:
I like the look of the Chilians but I would be surprised if it did happen. I don't think we need a RB this summer. Other areas are priority, don't you think?

M.D.

@Completely agree, Rafael is our number one RB, with Brown or O'Shea as back-up. RB is not a priority, not anymore. We do need more steel in midfield, this Vidal sounds pretty good, Defour is another possibility.

Anderson has improved our midfield immensely since his return, he still needs ten or so games to get to his best. We have Valencia to return, Cleverley to return and we can call on Welbeck if needed. We have Pogba & Morrison(?) to bring into the squad. I seriously cannot see Fergie buying players when we have no reason to.

We will replace Hargreaves & Van Der Sar in the summer, we may replace Hargreaves in January? But i cannot see much more than four new faces coming in between now and September. Although i do expect a marquee signing.

Ins;

Defour, Henderson or Vidal (10-15m)
Stekelenburg (8m)
Lindegaard (Done)
Sanchez (Marquee, a crowd pleaser, 17m)
Cleverley
Welbeck

Out;

Hargreaves
Neville
Kuszczak
Van Der Sar
Owen
Macheda (Loan, but will go on pre-season tour)
Bebe (Loan, but will go on pre-season tour)
Diouf (Loan, but will go on pre-season tour)

People need to stop sayin Park is off!
He is (in the grand scheme of things) a relatively low earner, has great enthusiasm and work ethic. Also he is very happy at being a squad player, which Sit Alex likes. He's a good lad and staying. .
I wouldn't be so sure about Gibson leaving either.
Utd are looking at 4 chileans in Isla, Vidal, Sanchez and another young guy who's name escapes me.
Utd will attempt to sign Rodwell in the summer with 2 chileans.

What is the reason behind united making summer moves for new players rather than jan ?
Is it because we can arrange pre season tour to the country where that player is coming from without losing any hype surrounding that player ?
If signed in jan and the player performs poorly or caught in some scandal then pre season tour to that country will lose its flare.
According to me vidal will come in jan , sanchez in summer and a possible tour to chile
