@Two newspapers have picked up on the United/ Goetze link, I really wish we go for this player, he can play in both Scholesy's and Giggsy's positions and is just 18 years old. Make the deal SAF, make the deal.

Just a rumour iv heard so don't shoot! . . ., evra may be off to madrid in the summer, with leighton baines coming in as a possible replacement. Jamesmack8

That's a load of bull. Evra looks like he's fully committed to United and Real would, at the moment, be a step down. That added to the fact Baines is a Liverpool supporter and wouldn't be too keen on signing up.

@Ed, have you got the Bloomberg channel? Virgin (609), also what does this all mean?
Sydney! {ed's note - I have Bloomberg, just checking now, but it just seems to be the market responding to speculation. Often rumours are pushed out to make people look away from the truth, it is perfectly possible that they could be buying a completely different club. Or it could just be pure speculation and hope. Or it could be that the market has got a sniff of a real deal in the offing. Hard to say right now how much truth there is in it.}
@Does it make us any better off? Do we have to pay less on the bonds interest now? What does the financial side of this mean? Also I we could get a sniff that the Qatari's are interested, then that would be all I need to know, it's just a shame we cannot find that out.
Sydney! {ed's note - I thought the bonds were a fixed rate? I really need to find an expert in these matters to come here and explain it all to me. So much of it is clouded in shadows that it needs a real financial whizz to understand it.}

""I'm sorry if i came across to have a temper, i just get annoyed of reading the same stuff about Bale, Young, etc. Even when it's 90% to be complete rubbish. if it's a rumour you've heard then fair enough, but when you're telling me it WILL happen it just winds me up. we don't even know if anyone will be alive in the summer! so why people say things like "Bale and Modric done deal" is beyond me.
The Moon.""
dear mr moon
please do not apologize for expressing your opinion. as you rightly said this is a rumour site. some have a habit of posting "will" this and that but give them the benefit of the doubt. ngiak is guilty of it but what is really meant was it's a rumour.
the painful ones are those who say 100% and "fact" etc. but again it's their opinion. it's banter. live and let live. have fun on this site, say what you think of the team and pick on people who talk crap. this site is to share with fellow man united friends and to let off some steam at the same time. chill and enjoy!

Hey guys
Anyone know anything about Ander herrera of Zaragoza?
Mate (actually he's a sporting fan) bangs on about Ander. Could be the next Xavi apparently!
Ed, Sydney?

What you think Ed? Sydney? anyone else?
TBIR {ed's note - I actually think you already have the keeper you need, don't you?}
@United will 100% bring in another keeper as Kuszczak & VDS are leaving. The question is will Lindegaard be the number two or the number one. But another keeper will need to be purchased whatever happens.
Do you believe Lindegaard is going to be our number one Ed? Even though Eric Steele has confirmed we are looking for a number one and VDS has said he will help to find his replacement?
Sydney! {ed's note - do you not think that it will depend on how he does? I think he is being given a little shove to perform to cement his place.}

Any news about the mystery player? De Rossi maybe?

@Reading some of the comments mentioned on this site and regarding possible signing in the summer. .players to go should be Oshea. . never been one of his fans and never will be a full back/ centre back or anything . .runs around like headless chicken and salmon jump better than him. . Gibson and Anderson our core midfield . .not a chance. Anderson as only scored once in 3-4 years at club and does not even look like a threat and no brain. just about gets round the pitch in a lazy fashion. . Gibson. great shot but that's your lot. . next season we need a Modric type player or even Sneider. . right fullback to replace Neville maybe another midfielder left sided and a striker to accomadate Rooney/ Berbatov / Hernandez. . these players will kee us ahead of Chelsea/ City and Arsenal we need to be competing with likes of Barcelona and Madrid. . Gibson/ Oshaea/ Anderson vs Xavi / Iniesta / Messi. . come on lets be serious
Stockport Red
So that's half of the team gone already then pal. All premier league and champions league winners and you want to do away with them.Understandably form fluctuates but i don't think any of these players are quite finished yet. Oshea is a utility player nothing more nothing less, hes grabbed us an important goal or two in the past. The right back to replace Neville, in my opinion that should be Rafael. He has really impressed me and theres definately more to come. Anderson is still only young and should be given more time, i do agree on Gibson though. He lacks something. SHRIMP
@Completely agree with the shrimp, O'Shea is very important to us, he can sit on the bench and cover many positions if a player gets injured. He can play RB, LB, CB (Both sides), CDM and if I am not mistaken he has played on the wing for us (again both sides), I could be wrong but hasn't he played as an emergency keeper for us once before?
Players like this are gold dust mate, people like you have a lot to learn when it comes to squad building. Of course fans have a problem with O'Shea being a regular starter but no fan minds him sat on the bench. No clued up fan anyway. Anderson is just 22, he is the same age as Cleverley and Obertan, lets give him some time shall we.
Gibson will be sold, I agree with that. Neville has already been replaced by Rafael, Rafael is a top quality player, the boy will be world class this time next season.

**manchester united rumours
someone said we needed: a left footed winger, a centre attacking midfielder, and a centre defensive midfielder.
also i think in addition to the above we need a goalkeeper.
LM: Bale
CDM: De Rossi
CAM: Oxlade-Chamberlain
GK: Stekelenberg
What you think Ed? Sydney? anyone else?

@ Sydney!
you say about a player who could play in a number of positions, LW being one of them. I reckon Modric would be a good bet for that as he could provide a spark and play in CM as you reckoned would come in.
What do you guys reckon? Ed?
SK {ed's note - I would say he is the most likely IF Spurs fail to make the Champions League again next season. I believe that their qualification for this season was the only reason he is still there.}

Completely seperate note, but will people stop saying we need a left sided winger! and especially linking us with the likes of Bale! not only would it just not happen but IF we sign a top quality LW/ LM then that means one of Valencia or Nani will be sold! which i doubt! most people forget we've got Valencia out but when he's back im 100% sure he'll take the right wing back and Nani will shift to the left. so stop this complete bull about a LW/ LM.
The Moon.
@I don't understand how you can say that if we bought a LW then one of Valencia or Nani will be sold? Have you ever heard of the word rotation? Or couldn't Nani be given a free role upfront like Ronaldo did, meaning all three could be played? You are allowed more than two good players to each position you know. Personally I think there is NO CHANCE of a lefty coming in, not because of Nani & Valencia, but because Giggs is still around, we also have Morrison & Park. Even Cleverley can play left wing.
I would be shocked if we bought a left winger in the summer, although I wouldn't rule out a player coming in that could play there if asked, it seems SAF goes for players which can cover more than one position. I think it's inevitable a striker will come in, one or two central midfielders and a GK.

I think that we should keep macheda and loan him out next season to a premiership side.
Keep Owen on a pay as you play deal he still looks good when he plays and can pass on invaluable experience on to Hernandez, Wellbeck and Macheda and all the other young strikers we have.
Personally we need to get 2-3 midfielders, a left footed winger bale would be nice but i can't see it happening, a defensive midfielder and a attacking midfielder although Anderson can do that providing Fergie allows him to plays as one.
Ed what do you think about Bale .A .Young and C.Adam as they are players being linked with us.
{Editor's Note: I am not convinced by any of them.}

I think its insane that people on this site think Macheda will be sold. People must remember that he's still only 19 even though we've seen him play for two years. He burst onto the scene by winning the title for United with a magical goal, and I can guarantee there's more in him. He needs to realize though he needs to have the hard work and motivation to improve because right now he has the potential but no the end product. I have faith in Kiko and I think everyone should also. I can almost for sure Sir Alex feels the same way, not because I have any connections, but because he's class and he's so young.

How did macheda blow his chance this year ed? i fully expect him to leave in the summer but just wondering what exactley he did. though he had sorted out the attitude and gambling things, he seemed excited in his latest inteview to come back to manchester! {ed's note - I don't know mate, that was just what I was told, more likely to be based on his performances on the pitch to be honest. Did he play well enough to earn his place?}
