Mr ed, how much roughley do you think fergie has to spend in the next 2 windows? some reports say were skint, and then others are linking us to big name players. {ed's note - I think you are in a similar position to most other clubs, it is more about if the right player is available at the right price the money will be made available. I mean if Kaka was offered to you at the right price then I believe the money would be made available, purely on the basis that his merchandising sales would cover his wages and most of the transfer fee. I am not sure if I am explaining myself well or not, does that make sense?}

Good to see raval morrison playing and scoring tonight for reserves. . what is story with him ed? ? {ed's note - he has been in a lot of trouble in the past, but the club are trying to help him work through his problems. He is a troubled young lad in need of the help, hopefully the psychiatrist will be enough to sort his head out and keep him on the straight and narrow. He just needs to keep clear of the gangs and remember he has a chance to make something of himself.}

just one problem with your theory nuer plays for shalke,
sanchez will not be signed because he causes trouble within the sqaud, carroll will not join because of his personal life and problems, rooney may be leaving in january only 1 or 2 players will be bought in january and it should be out of defour, subotic or de rossi who knows who alex will buy in january he buys players that we we never linked with or youve never heard of i.e hernandez, bebe, pogba, owen etc
THE HEMMINATOR
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I meant nuer would move to bayern munich, sanchez loves united and would cause no trouble, rooney is not going to be sold. . he has done reasonably well after his return, defour is no more our target, he is injury prone and might not be advanced enough to play for united, subotic would not be signed, if a center back is signed it would be showcross or gary cahill and in place of de rossi vidal, henderson or rodwell would be signed! !

Lindegard already signed for January, Cleverley and Welbeck will definately be called back. For the summer, Neuer/Stekelenburg will be signed to replace Vandersar and Henderson/Rodwell will definately be signed to fill the gap in the midfield.

ED what do you think? {ed's note - I think rb is the most vital position for you to fill. Rafael is not going to play every game without picking up knocks and suspensions, you need someone better than O'Shea to back him up and someone less injury-prone than Brown. I am not sure who is around to do the job though, I just don't see anyone who stands out for me. Other than that, you need to be very careful who you buy, you have a decent batch of youngsters that need first team football if they are to progress.}

@ I agree with Sydney in his comment on this. Rafael has played some wonderful stuff this year but he will pick up an injury eventually. We have O'Shea who can do the job, without being the real crowd pleaser. Vermijl, he was bought and will be given the chance to fill in when needed. No player will be bought as Brown is also in contention.

@I think for the next couple years we are okay for the RB position, we have Rafael, Fabio, Brown & O'Shea that can play there, of course Brown, Fabio & O'Shea are just cover but we do have Vermijl & Reece Brown in the reserves who need 1-2 years to get it right.

{ed's note - I don't think Coentrao or Defour will be joining, Coentrao would cost double the figure you put on him anyway.}

@Coentrao has a ‚Ǩ30m buy-out clause (£25m) so he would probable be able to be purchased for £20m, depending on how many clubs bid.

Ed this would be a bargain in my opinion, he can play LB or LW and hes just 22, 'IF' Evra left would he be the way to go?

I am a frequent visitor to this site and what all i can think of is that manchester united are having enough money both to add direct game players and building squad. .
according to me the players which will be signed during the jan and summer transfer window will be:
Lindegaard(done). . 3.5 mil
neuer/akinfeev?stekelenburg(most likely) 8 to 15 mil mil
sanchez(surely)-18 mil
defour(probably)-8 mil
coentrao(depending upon evra situation)-15 mil
what do you think mr. editor?

Utd have been lookin at a player called Jonathan Rodriguez. 18/19 yr old Colombian guy. Not too sure how extensively, they are looking at him and I can't find much about him tho. . . might amount to nothing but Sir Alex likes a south American player AND loves a surprise!

Gk - With Lindegaard brought in and ben amos proving to be a steady carling cup keeper, 1 more keeper is required as kuszcsak (sp) seems to be destined to leave for a russian/ukrainian team. We don't have 10s of millions opf pounds available. if we did, fergies favourite would be pepe reina. saf has said it will be an experienced player, so that rules out de gea; manuel neuer is unlikely, just because of his reluctance to leave the bundesliga. Stekelenburg comes with vds' seal of approval and would be considerably cheaper then the afformentioned. Diego Lopez from Villarreal has been scouted, but his tempremant has been questioned.

The smart money would be on steklenburg - 6 - 7 millionDef: Wes Brown will be staying. Players like Brown are the lifeblood of the squad. They have grown up with Ferguson, and it would not be easy to find a better defender that would be happy to sit on the bench. Rafaels emergence at right back is great to watch, but at left back is the only change possible. Evra is a target for virtually every club that can afford him. If he does want out then i would expect coentrao from benfica to be his replacement. he can also play left midfield, which could be useful if fabio or o'shea can prove they can hold down that role. Evans form is a concern, but he is class and in the future he and smalling will be a very good partnership.

No change.


Mf - The most contenciously debated area of our team. in the past we have never done direct replacements. so looking for players similar to scholes and hargreaves is pointless. against the big teams fergie likes flectcher and anderson, whilst being good footballers, they can run the likes of nasri/fabregas off the park. carrick is the misfit. his main attribute was keeping the ball; he doesn't do that now. defour is a good player, but he is injury prone. i don't think the replacement is likely to be african to the african nation cup ( think how many points do chelsea give away in that period?). The chilean link is tenuous at best. it was a kind gesture, and yes it would have expanded our global brand to chile, but is fergie the kind of man to sign a player just for shirt sales. park ji sung was bought due to his footballing abilities as he constantly proves. Having said all that Keisuke Honda would be a great signing. he might be that goal scoring midfielder we need. oh and you can forget de rossi and sneijder - we don't have enough cash! Cleverley will come back in january.

Defour in the summer, maybe honda ( fingers crossed)


ST - rooney berbatov hernandez. all staying. owen going. your guess is as good as mine as regards to macheda, welbeck and diouf ( and whichever other young strikers ive forgotten) in my opinion, use macheda as a dealbreaker for edinson cavani? flog diouf, keep welbeck. is anybody else pained that we paid the same for bebe and spurs did for van der vaart? if i could sign anyone, it would be him.

no real change, few outs, loanees return.


so to recap.

January:

lindegaard and cleverley

Summer: defour for sure. and coentrao depending on evra. ( and pleeease honda or vdv )

i have no inside info. this post is based on what fergie has stated, common sense (i hope) and our finances.

Right, let's clear this up, United WON'T sign another goalkeeper, do any of you know how good Lindegaard actually is? I've watched him play on a few occassions and read reviews on him from top football pundits, All seem to agree that he is a keeper that will do great things in world football, Now with that being said do you really think he would of signed for us to play second choice when he could of signed for any of; Arsenal, Bayern or Villa who are all reported to be interested or even Milan or WERE interested and did want him. I believe he was signed on the condition that he would be our Number 1 after Van Der Sar retires, there maybe the issue of our Number two goalkeeper and we happen to have Ben Amos. My point is, you guys are saying we're signing De Gea, Lloris, Neuer, etc, When it seems to me and to just about every pundit out there that Lindegaard is a very talented goalkeeper.

Ferguson said himself that another keeper will come in. The reason for this is that PIG will definitely leave because he can't become the nr.1 keeper and Amos won't be the nr.2.

@Sydney

Okay, it is not set in concrete that we're going to get another Goal Keeper, I've heard recently that we're looking at Alex Smithies, i don't know if this is true at all, i know he does well for huddersfield but the difference between the teams is huge to say the least. I honestly expect Van Der Sar to stay 1 more year and Lindegaard and him to rotate as the season goes on, maybe we will sign a new number 1 but if we do then i would expect Lindegaard to want out, he had the option of playing for some of europes top clubs and he chose us? That to me means that he won't be sitting on the bench, i guess we'll have to wait and see to find out for sure. Although i'm not expecting an exciting transfer window in either January or the summer.

I would love to go and see Fergie rescue Stephen Ireland's career. He approached City about his availibility two season ago and I still think he could do a good job for us as he is a box to box player. He was City's best player till they gave his place to Barry. I know it doesn't make any difference but he and all his family are big United supporters so his heart would be in it and I think Fergie could get him back playing at a high standard. Lets face it we need a goal scoring midfield player. RAINFISHTROMBONE

It would be very sensible if ManU sign Mark van Bommel, 3m and he could be a good replacement for 2-3 yrs.

Thought I would post this more to ask what you all think of united signing this guy. My mate who is an Aston Villa fan is adamant United and Villa have agreed a deal for Ashley Young to come to Old Trafford in January. I personally don't see it happening though when he is playing well I rate him highly. What do you guys think of Young?

Ed, reports in Italy have claimed Sanchez is on the verge of joining Inter. Inter and Udinese have had 3 meetings to discuss the transfer and they expect it to be done this weekend. This comes as bit of a surprise as his agent has said only English clubs have enquired and he would prefer a move to England. What do you make of this?

{Editor's Note: The agent will be talking up a player who must already know he will be a luxury item who may not be suited to the EPL.}
