Manchester United Rumours Archive June 15 2011

Ed002 - It's funny how things change so quickly in the transfer window isn't it? A week ago you said it was a very slim chance that Sanchez will be a United player, now they are in the mix. A few weeks ago you said that Chelsea have no interest in Modric, but in fairness you did say not to your knowledge. They don't call it silly season for nothing do they?

Ed, what do you think Chelsea would be willing to spend on Modric? A month ago you said he was worth £25m-£30m, but I imagine it would be more now, is that fair?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I cannot hazard a guess at the price. I suspect the bid is in retaliation to the price tag placed on Pastore. We will have to wait and see.}

chelsea will make a approved offer for luka modric SKY SPORTS NEWS.........bingy

In my opinion i woudnt say nasri will go to utd because they might be losing fabregas because he might go to barca, so they are to top players for arsenal and would be hard to replace them so it is unlikely wenger will let nasri go

15 Jun 2011 23:05:01
Just listening to Tim Vickery on Irish radio, he has no contacts that i could make out but he reckons that Udinese hold all the cards on this one. Sanchez has his preferences (i.e. likes English football but prefers Barca) but they'll call the shots and they're in no hurry. Vickery reckons that they'll hold out for top top dollar or keep him for the Champions league and sell next summer. With that in mind you're talking £30Mil PLUS for him. That kind of rules out Barca and maybe United too?? Thoughts Ed? {Ed002's Note - See above or below for my thoughts on Sanchez.}

15 Jun 2011 22:38:04
I really wish these rubbish rumours and wishful thinkings regarding Sneidjer coming to United IMO this will NOT happen and as for Ronaldo coming back to united. Never ever ever ever ever will this happen ever!

Lets get real here!

Phil Jones is already done
David De Gea looks like it will happen

The maybe's

Nasri - This is THE player I would like to see more than possibly any other I think he would be a fantastic addition. I think though my hope that he comes outweighs the probability!

Alexis Sanchez - There is no doubt we need a player of his quality I somehow just don't see it due to how udinese are to deal with and I think Eden Hazard would be the more likely of the two. If neither happen I think Ashley Young will be the back up plan.

I wouldn't rulse out a move for Jack Rodwell. It is known we have monitord him for some time and I think with the way the English players all seem to be moving around that this transfer window would look the most likely.

Luka Modric - Possibly not a better player to fill the boots of Paul Scholes and I would love to see this player at United just don't see this happening either.

So to conclude if it was down to me I would go for:

David De Gea
Phil Jones
Samir Nasri
Luka Modric

15 Jun 2011 22:35:45
First time I've posted on here and this is what I think think could happen. Sanchez has already stated that he doesnt want City, he'd rather go to UTD, so they're out of the running, unless he's after cash instead of trophies. Do Barca really have enough money if they're going after Cesc? However, think it's between Barca and UTD where he ends up. The Inter bid for Kaka will set the ball rolling, Sneidjer will then leave, expect UTD to put a bid in which will then see Nasri having to make a decision on where he wants to end up next season...... just my thoughts. What do you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - My views an Sanchez are well known. We know that Chelsea, Manchester City and Inter Milan have made unsuccessful bids, and we know that Manchester United and Barcelona have a declared interest. Juventus had previously been interested but were hoping that (a) Sanchez stayed under the radar until a deal could be struck, and (b) Udinese would look kindly on an arrangement that included some cash and several players either in exchange, on loan or in part-ownership as part of the deal. As an aside Juventus have proposed a similar deal for Javier Pastore. Anyway, there was a January meeting with Chelsea in Monaco and broad agreement was reached over the transfer before Giampaolo Pozzo said that the deal must include a loan of the player back to Udinese. Whilst Barcelona were apparently willing to agree to this until the end of the season, Pozzo proposed that whoever Sanchez moved to should allow him to be loaned back for 18 months – hence the end of any discussions. I expect that Juventus will not come back in to the picture. Although Sanchez has been watched by numerous teams including Roma, there is nothing new other than Manchester City having a bid rejected for the player and Inter entering further discussions about the player - but I am told that no further bid has been made. Manchester City, like Juventus, were knocked back in a bid for Pastore and are likely to aim their cheque book in another direction – this may well be another bid for Sanchez. The advantage they have, in addition to being able to match any transfer fee, is the ability to put together a wage deal far beyond anything the other clubs could afford or would be willing to pay. I suspect that we will see this whole saga drag out through the summer transfer window as Pozzo puts the player on the market, takes him off the market, values him at €100M and so on. Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter will all likely remain interested but could well tire of the expected drawn-out negotiations. Manchester United and Chelsea were both originally wary of the player being not quite as robust as needs be for the EPL. Perhaps Inter will get their man or perhaps Sanchez will respond positively to reported interest from the nice folks at Barcelona or even Real Madrid. There is an unconfirmed report that Manchester United have asked for time to consider a further bid and that bid appears to be imminent. I have speculated that Manchester United may turn their attentions to Eden Hazard instead if a further bid for Sanchez fails. The player has made no secret of his desire to stay in Italy. An enquiry from Anzhi Makhachkala has also been rebuffed at the first hurdle.}

Chelsea have just had a £22m bid rejected by Spurs and Barcelona are having talks with Udinese as I type, Barcelona feel a deal can be agreed tonight. Come on United lets get these lads playing for us.

Ed002, have Chelsea bid £22m for Mods?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I knew a bid was being planned to test the water. I did not know thge value and we have seen no confirmation of it yet.}

15 Jun 2011 22:57:58
Barcelona have opened talks with Udinese over a deal for Alexis Sanchez and are optimistic about winning the chase for his signature. SSN Website

£30 million Man United bid being prepared for Luka Modric following Chelsea's rejected £22 million bid. Expect the bid to be confirmed tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Chelsea will submit another bid but OT is known to be Modric's favoured destination and he will therefore opt for United.

My mate works as a caddy out in las vegas and he was looking after ashley young and 2 other guys, said young was a complete muppet and very rude.one of the guys was teasing him that he wasn't a united player yet and he informed them he was 90% there but the whole saga is down to SAF he didn't say reason but told them that sanchez would be signed and barca pulled out cause they want nani to go to madrid as they think that wit nani and ronaldo there that ozil will not stay as he doesn't even speak to ronaldo and there hoping nani will push him into making transfer request and they have been informed that barca is only club he will move to and he has something in his contract that he picks the club and that is why he was so cheap last yr.young also indicated that nasri was united bound, i follow everton so believe or not as ya like !!!

spoke to him this afternoon, he told me that all this
Sanchez talk is rubbish, the reason they are there is
to offer Real a deal involving Rooney and Nani in a
straight swap for Ronaldo! I couldnt believe it, but he told me to put money on it happening. You think
its possible ed?''

Quote "Stories doing the rounds on Twitter still saying that the Sanchez story is fabricated to push the price up. No apparent UTD interest"

Someone better tell David Gill to get back home then........

How about Berba to PSG? I believe there is interest!

It's actually 27mil.

ER NO ITS NOT. CITY HAD A 30 MILLION BID REJECTED SO ITS VERY VERY UNLIKELY UDINESE WILL ACCEPT A LOWER OFFER. THE FEE IS AROUND 35-37 MILLION.

Asmoah gyan i just heard will be going to Manchester united as part of a deal which will see darron gibson, wes brown ( although he dosent want 2 go to sunderland) , jonny evans and john o shea.! Talks on going between the two clubs at the moment.

15 Jun 2011 11:54:57
If Sanchez is signed, on the back of De Gea, Jones and Young, who is going to be sold? Gibson, Brown and O'Shea will only realise £12M and weren't regular starters. Berba and Carrick in a swap for Modric perhaps?

It is a fight between city and united for sanchez, barcelona couldn't get the sum of money together for him they were offering player swaps and udinese just weren't interested. The youngster will have to make a decision now, city with all the cash or united with all the cups and trophies. I know where i would be heading, straight down sir matt busby way! what do u think ed ? {Ed001's Note - he is a United fan, that should be enough to seal the deal, but Udinese are not easy to deal with.}

{Ed002's Note - May be true if you are a Chelsea supporter.}

So he's really going back to Chelsea? And I guess Hiddink's going to hold down the fort until he arrives?

Manchester United are ready to seal a £27million deal for Udinese's Chilean star Alexis Sanchez - under the noses of Manchester City and Barcelona.

United supremo David Gill flew to Barcelona yesterday to meet Udinese's negotiators who were talking to the Catalans as the auction for the talented attacking midfielder comes to the boil.

And Gill was also spotted in talks with Sanchez's representatives who have been with Barca - with insiders revealing that the player wants to go to United above all of their rivals.

Sanchez is being bartered around by Udinese, who wanted £30 million but are now under pressure to take less both by United and their South American star's camp.

United have now gone in hard and official for Sanchez - despite City sending a two-man delegation of Garry Cook and Brian Marwood to Italy over the past few days.

City were hoping to blow all of the other bidders out of the water with an offer, but they have been told again that Sanchez prefers to go to the red half of Manchester.

Boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants Sanchez as his next major capture, a race that sped up when Paul Scholes announced his retirement. United had been watching the exciting Udinese ace but really got serious as that vacancy appeared.

Sanchez is waiting on United and Udinese sorting out the fee. He is in Chile but has been given permission by his national team to fly off and sign for a new club before Copa America begins in July.

The gifted and speedy star wants to go to United as he believes he has a better chance of a game than he would at Barcelona who have been on his trail for weeks.

Barca failed to match Udinese's asking price - despite offering cash and various player swaps - and they will now switch their search elsewhere with Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas still high on their wish list.

14 Jun 2011 23:12:51
mourinhio united manager season 2012/13, and he is already advising fergie on which players to target, the number one being sneijder and the fact mourinhio is goin to be manager in a years time will persuade sneijder to choose united over their rivals. he will also bring with him several real madrid players, the obvious being CR7
also heard that berbatov straight swap with darren bent, what u think ed???????
