Tevez on his way back! Misses the o-t setup, thats a right turn up!

16 Jun 2011 23:07:44
I think Sanchez will go 2 barca

16 Jun 2011 22:38:53
Why do people think that we would let Ferdinand leave in order to get Modric, are you crazy? Ferdinand is still on of the best defenders in the world and the leader of our defence. He's not reliant on pace and could still have a good 2-3 seasons.

If we want Modric then it won't include Ferdinand in any deal. We won't fill a hole just to open up another one.... (loosing our best leader in the team)

Am I the only 1 who really doesn't want modric or snijder at united???
I'd much prefer nasri as my 1st choice and javi martinez as a close 2nd, both younger and both could be much better IMO!
One of those 2 aswell as sanchez along with the other 3 we have signed would make us unstoppable!

Based on what? So turning up at Giggsy's parents house on his 13th birthday asking him to sign isn't persistent? Traveling to London to catch Ozil in the Fulham tunnel isn't persistent? Sending a flower arrangement to Paul Pogba's mother whilst we are poaching Pogba isn't persistent. There are many examples of SAF being persistent over the years.

You have to remember that the transfer window hasn't opened yet, I have a sneaky suspicion we will equal Chelsea's Modric bid, if we miss out on Modric because he prefers Chelsea, then I think we may sign Kagawa. Very similar to Modric in his styles. But at 22 and the fact he's Japanese has it's advantages.

I think Kagawa is a player that Dortmund will consider selling, paying just 300k for him, they would find it hard to turn down a bid of around £12m. Ed002, do you think Kagawa is a possibility?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - You can buy Modric now if you want Syd. I really doubt Dortmund would sell Kagawa.}

@Ed002 - What did you mean by the Modric comment? Are you saying he's on the market? Could a swap for Berbatov interest Dortmund? Berbatov was always a hit in Germany wasn't he?

Sydney!

{Ed002's Note - A deal to be had. Offer Spurs and acceptable pice and he will be a United player.}

16 Jun 2011 22:29:09
Berbatov is off to newcastle for 20 million with the money going straight to villa for ashley young. With brown, evans, nani and carrick leaving the glazers will once again not invest any cash. Alarm bells are getting louder!!!

been reading this site for a while and this is the first time ive posted, whilst some of the rumors on here are absolute b*ll sh** and make me laugh there are some of these i think wuld be worh while,

modric- ferdinand + 10 mil (hes getting old and the ikes of smalling and jones will soon step it up)

Sanchez- culd we not offer nani + 5 mil?

Young- hes amazing but a decent buy at around 15 mil however im sure we will pay more :/

thoughts ed?

redboy {Ed004's Note - Would Nani want to go to Udinese? The others are agree with to an extent}

16 Jun 2011 21:10:13
There were reports that Manchester United were in talks with the young Argentinian Pato Rodriguez, and a work permit was the only thing that stood in the way..

16 Jun 2011 20:58:12
Ed, any idea on how much united willing to spend on Sanchez and any news on his deal or any deal?I just want something interesting to talk about. {Ed004's Note - I have no idea how much ManUtd are willing to spend on Sanchez}

16 Jun 2011 20:46:25
The only signings that SAF is going to make that's not out of the blue are Sanchez and Young.FACT!

16 Jun 2011 20:13:53
Liverpool centre-back Sotirios Kyrgiakos is set to extend his stay at Anfield for a further 12 months.
this bit of news is really gona worry the rest of the league for next season
the phoenix is rising from the ashes lololololololololol

16 Jun 2011 19:26:07
Just been on phone with my contact at united he told me Sanchez is waiting on which club between us and Barcelona come up with right offer there is no news yet. Other news Nasri deal has stalled due to Arsenal refusing to listen to united offer my understanding is they will turn back to Sneijder or Modric he told me utd went for Nasri because he was a cheap option.

16 Jun 2011 18:13:52
Today, Samuel Eto'o has said he is open to a move to the premier league this summer if the right deal comes his way.

Rumour has it United will offer £50m plus Dimitar Berbatov for the services of both Samuel Eto'o and Wesley Sneijder.

No idea how true this rumour is.

16 Jun 2011 17:52:59
ED who do you think we will get for midfield i really hope we get modric but it looks like chelsea will get him {Ed002's Note - Modric remains a possibility - Sneijder perhaps.}

16 Jun 2011 17:43:54
ED, if we do sign Sanchez, do you think we will still try to sign Young? {Ed002's Note - Young will come first so it is immaterial.}

16 Jun 2011 16:33:00
You have got to laugh, Spurs are saying Modric is not for sale, it would take a ridiculous offer to be accepted, yet they have just had a bid accepted for Adam and Parker is favourite to join Spurs.

Ed002 - Why would Spurs want Parker, Adam & Joe Cole? If they aren't preparing for life without Modric, then I am a giraffe named pickleweasel.

Ed002 it seems Spurs are going to want a silly amount of money, what players would Chelsea consider offering in the deal?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Answers are slipping down th back of the sofa. How about Spurs having Parker; Aston Villa challenging Liverpool for Adam - with Liverpool winning; Cole staying at Liverpool.}

16 Jun 2011 16:32:48
If Manchester United sell berbatov and miss out on snachez they will try and put a double offer to inter milan for both sneijder and eto for 70m

16 Jun 2011 15:18:16
Well ed who do you honestly think we will sign in the coming weeks? {Ed004's Note - I am sure we will sign a few people}

16 Jun 2011 13:22:36

Bebe has joined Besiktas on loan, there is no view to buy, the money discussed about the player was how much Besiktas will pay United for having him on loan for a year. The Turkish club will pay United one million euros to have him for a year.

Ideal, we are pamping out Bebe.

Sydney!

Surprising that is, considering he's highly unlikely to play for United again.

To all Manchester United fans...NASRI WILL NOT GO TO UNITED, If he does end up leaving it will be to a team abroad and not to you, why? Because Wengers not an idiot..well not that much of an idiot. If he does leave it will be for nearly 30mil
plus.

Ins: De Gea
Jones (waste of money)
Sneijder
Striker
Young
CM

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.}

@So if Chelsea won't pay £44m for a 21 year old Pastore, is it fair to say £35m would be their limit on a 26 year old Modric? Can you see £35m being the amount Spurs would be happy with? Just opinion of course?

Sydney!

{Ed002's Note - I am told this morning the Modric bid is being driven by one particular person but there is broad agreement that he may well bring something to the club. Obviously that does happen at Chelsea with several folks being able to exert a strong view. There is no benefit in trying to draw conclusions about prices based on teh prices of other players.}

Barca confirm Sanchez negotiations

Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has confirmed the club have started negotiations with Udinese for Alexis Sanchez.
The Spanish and European champions have been linked with the 22-year-old winger for some time and Bartomeu is hopeful a deal will be reached.
"We are optimistic, but this has just begun. We are negotiating for Sanchez, " he told Chilean newspaper La Tercera.
"We know he is a valuable player; that is why there are so many teams after him. We have to continue talking and we will see what is going to happen in the next few days."
Sanchez, who is also a reported target for Inter Milan, Manchester City and Manchester United, is thought to prefer a move to the Nou Camp.
But Bartomeu insists the player's club hold the key to his arrival in Barcelona.
"We will first have to come to an agreement with Udinese, " he said.

I've heard inter are willing to let go sneijder to Manchester United for a fee of 35m has anyone heard ed? {Ed001's Note - I don't know anything about fees, but they are certainly willing to deal.}

15 Jun 2011 23:48:49
Pozzo has now stated he wants 40m for Sanchez now or he not sell and will take 20m from 2011/12 CL and sell him for 30m next year!
