What with Higuain, Ronaldo, Benzema and maybe Adebayor up front? Can't see it to be honest

MUFC 19

Don't worry, according to Naughty Mathick we're still signing Sanchez.

Sneijder will transfer to United, and Pastore will transfer to Inter. Nike will be involved in brokering both deals. Sneijder/United worldwide replica shirt sales will be huge

.......I dont think sneijder is joining rather it might be someone else off the radar

asif_devil

Yes jus seen that. Nike seems to be getting involved.

Ed002 - Is it true that United have made more of a fuss over Mata in the past 24 hours?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any further interest in the player at this time Syd.}

That's what I've heard too Sydney! SAF did say he was looking for a midfielder to replace Paul Scholes and Mata fits the bill

Liverpool have shown an interest in him so he certainly fits the bill

Forget about Sneijder, nasri, mata or any other so called superstars, utd cant attract the big name players never have been able to.we can only afford young players with the potential to become stars ie ronaldo and rooney.i am afraid to say that when it comes to a choice between us , real, barca or chelsea we will lose every time.time to wake up and smell the coffee folks barca will continue to leave us for dust for many years to come

Why would a player prefer salford to
Barcelona?

rain to sun?

Catalonia to Greater Manchester?

Cant understand it.

This guy above has to be a scouser we unlike those little spanish clubs are able to make superstars and therefore dont require signing over hyped unproven players i.e veron , berba who ever we sign will compliment and enhance what we have untill pogba morrison keane welbeck chico and co are ready to rule like the class of 94"

I think to be fair barce have made a few superstars

Lol, Yeah they havent produced many players at all really have they Hierro, Raul, Casillas, Xavi, Pedro, Iniesta, Morientes. I think the poster was having a dig, but even so, there is truth in what he is saying. Barcelona and Madrid are every bit as big if not bigger than United and for many foreign stars, the climate, lifestyle etc etc is a bigger pull, lets no tbe delusional about things

Thank you for your informative posts about a selective few whom have come thru the small spanish clubs ranks these are few and far between the recent barca team has 8 or so home grown but has only won the champions league three times in fergies era. the same as madrid we have won it twice with our biggest signings being rio veron rooney and berba. there rest have been below 20 millioin. and that has only been since we signed ruud if i remmeber rightly in 2001 not the 85 million on ronni or the 80 million on ibra or villa carlos figo the list is emdless. the modern era we have spentless than our equals but won more. simple. dont get fooled by what you hear or read even by me look at money spent trophies won and players sold i think you may agree uniteds conversion rate is better i must stress under fergie

I do appologise barca have won 4. but take leagues fa cups carling cups cup winners cups etc

Sorry to bleat on but if you compare madrids and barcas domestic record to celtic and rangers you will see there is not great deal of difference. madrid won 5 champions league on the bounce in 50's when football cannot be compared to today barca won it for the first time in 94 after all british winners had done so. look at british winners to spanish erm 2 compared too 7 may be...

Credit were credit due i think barce had 9 players in the spain starting 11 and there academy seem to be knocking out talent at regular rate
madrid on the other hand, i think i would struggle to name more 3 lads that have come thro the ranks
jred

Ibra cost 50m-60m i beleive. vill awas next most exspensive at 35m.ronaaldinho was next most exspensive at about21m.thats about there big spending to be fair to them.

real though spent 230m 2 seasons ago on ronaldo, kaka , alonso etc now that is really spending.

Look at our spending since 99' and compare that to barca and madrid. since that time we have been in 4 champs finals won 2, 8 prem leagues, 3 fa cup finals won 2, 3 league cups.... compare that to madrid and barca and money spent and brought in. ill take our record over any europen clubs bearin in mind that we had oshea brown djemba djemba tosic etc etc...

Reported on caughtoffside

Man United are ready to make a swift £35M bid for Napoli playmaker Marek Harmsik if they fail to complete moves to sign either Wesley Sneijder or Samir Nasri from Inter Milan or Arsenal respectively.

Hamsik has long been a target for Sir Alex Ferguson and the Slovakian international has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Napoli this summer and AC Milan have shown a great deal of interest in the 23 year old who has been a huge success in Serie A.

Gino

Hamsik is a very good player, but I don't rate him as 'World class'. Perhaps £25m would be a more accurate estimate, but I am not sure Napoli would be interested in that fee. I cannot see Hamsik at United.

Sydney!

Would you please ignore all rumours on Caughtoffside?

G.A.G.U.S {Ed007's Note - Agreed, it is just kids who are PAID to trawl for rumours so they can make up sensational stories to draw people in.}

According to talksport, Xherdan Shaqiri would be available for £5m. He wouldn't be my first choice - but at that price (or anything under £15m if I'm honest) we should be biting their hands off to sign him He is a good player who would only improve at Manchester United.
T0MB0Z

He has one or two good moments, but is useless for the rest of the game. Still at 18 he could be moulded into a better player.

Sydney!
