Apparently SNeijders dad has told press that mufc have offered him a million dollar contract for five years. Not sure how reputable this is, as a million dollar contract ain't that much so I'm assuming its a figure of speech.

Sambo {Ed007's Note - Someone tried to post a link to the article Sambo, but it didn't work so I didn't post it up}

Here it is again;

Website crashed earlier as everyone's looking at it. {Ed007's Note - Thanks, it is there now.}

It could be in Dollars because Nike are paying for it. United are negotiating a new Nike deal and we visited the Nike headquarters today in Portland. All the players travelled there.

Sydney!

Surely this is wrong. he would want way more than that wouldn't he? $1 million is naff all these days, let alone over five years...

ags

I can't speak Italian so take your word for it.
Woffsta {Ed007's Note - It does translate to that Woffsta}

I have seen the article and translated it, it states that he has been offered a millionaires contract not a million pound contract so i guess there offering the same terms as rooney gets maybe more

"Forget it. We are looking at some things but I am not so sure Sneijder will be easy to get. I could pick three or four players to come in but they wouldn't be good enough for us, so there is no point.

"I would be happy enough [to continue with the present squad]. Maybe I am a bit overloaded in the strikers' positions. The alternatives in midfield are not nearly as strong. But I have a good squad."

fergies own words.. what did i tell you? dont expect anyone else this is the latest way of saying no value in the market.

Son o'Salford

He has just admitted that we have a weak midfield, he is still selling Gibson after seeing Scholes & Hargreaves leave. Of course he will bring in another central midfielder.

Come on mate give the man the credit he deserves.

Sydney!

His latest way of saying there's no value in in the market you go on like he as said every year since he as been here he said it once after we sold ronaldo and if you look at it is there value in the market with player like james milner and andy carroll going for 30m and upwards last season we bought smalling and chico for 19m and won the league if you ask any other supporter of any other team would you prefer to spend that and win the league or would you like to spend 100m and win nothing i think you know yourself which 1 everyone would take i think i lot of united fans just want money spending because city are doing daft things with what they got but lets face they will never be as big a club as us no matter what they spend

its time a lot of people start having faith in what the boss does he as not let us down yet be a supporter and not a fan

M12 RED

Yeah well after City have signed Nasri & Augero we will see if your still so calm about our midfield chances we were never gonna get Sniejder like van der vaart we missed the boat

I will always be calm about my football club i have seen us win every trophies possible in my life time i have seen jack walker and his millions try i have seen the russian mafia and his billions try and if the arabs and there trillions want to try and knock us off are perch then so be it like i said its a faith manchester united and i have every faith that we will never die and as the saying goes if you can't say nothing positive then don't say anything at all

as for when they sign nasri and augero i have seen it all before remember when chelsea was buying everyone who ever kicked a ball a few years ago we are still here so im very calm about it all fergie as forgot more about football then we will ever know

M12 RED

Great comments M12 RED very true fergie's never let us down before and anyone who doesn't believe in him im sure citeh are looking for few fans to fill up that £400 million stadium

Is there any truth behind the berbatov stories? Heard Newcastle and PSG are looking at him? If this is the case augero will be a Manchester united player leaving Wayne Rooney to pull the strings in the middle of the park {Ed007's Note - PSG, Valencia, Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen have all shown confirmed interest in Berbatov}

What the hell makes you think aguero will be a united player if berba leaves?

1redarmy

I say this because we would need a top class striker to replace berbatov to ease the pressure on Hernandez and Rooney, augero one of few who would fit into uniteds styll of play who are also available

Tbh i'd love to get augero and shift rooney further back because rooney can pass beautifully like paul, besides he played with him so he knows the exact job of the legend himself..
plus augero is the next tevez but less btchy

If Berbatov isnt sold inspite of CONFIRMED INTEREST from 4 teams i suppose he still features in SAF's plans for the next season.

MUMBAI_BOY

£45 million for Aguero. We've already spent £53 million. Can you see United spending £98 million in one transfer window?

I don't think so.

You've got to remember Macheda's back and is looking good. Might elevate him having a full season back at OT. This also frees up the wages of Berba and money if he's sold (not that i think he sould go like). Also by the looks of it Sneijder's looking for some serious coin put 2and2 together i knida fits...

Haha aguero get a grip, , , if he comes to prem he will be either at city or liverpool, liverpool only cos hes an lfc fan but i reckon city cos money speaks

Are you talkin about Sergio Aguero's 2 year old son?

Even he wont come to Liverpool

MUMBAI_BOY

Well aguero said hed love to play for liverpool, , , but i reckon city will get him cos they will pay the most

The Blackpool Gazette report that Diouf is holding talks with Ian Holloway's Seasiders on Monday after a fee was agreed and could even figure in Tuesday's friendly with Rangers

fergie get us ganso hes our man 25million {Ed002's Note - A 40M euro bid was turned down last week and the player wants AC Milan.}

I thought i heard something about ganso going to ac milan just can't happen due to some reason or other.. besides serie A is the 3rd best league, all the italian teams crashed out in the champions league - roma beaten by a ukraine side, shakter? inter knocked out by a mid table german team, schalke? pfffffffft

Apparently, hasnt he got dodgy knees? its a gamble? pastore my choice......

He might want AC Milan but they can't afford him.

Ganso is my choice, but milan (ac.... as far as i know there are no reports linking him with inter) is his prefered destination and he has been learning italian for the last 2 years. There is a slight problem, as milan have some foreign player quota problems, haven't read up on it so i don't know the in's and out's. Ganso himself has stated that he doesn't want to leave Santos until after the world club cup, so this could explain rejected bid.

Could be a bidding war in January....

Milan already have a deal in principle agreed with the player. It appears to be a matter of time (and getting their foreign player quota sorted) rather than anything else. I have to say, with all these young Brazilian superstars, I'd rather someone else took the chance on them before us - such a high percentage of them sink without trace when they reach Europe, no matter how good they look back home.

Mancini has told that a deal is accepted for tevez from corinthians but as of now he is still a city player..
As for Downing..i remember him being pictured with a liverpool scarf..for which both villa and downing came out to refute that material..after a few weeks..downing ends up signing for liverpool.
With modric, im guessing he too will get his way and eventually join chelsea..
Nasri i think is different since he is in his last year..
Even Ronaldo to an extent..we did hold onto him for one year..
Are clubs nowadays not in a position to hold players who have atleast 2-3 years left on their contracts..Are they really that powerless?
one more example being carroll..wanted to stay then puts in a transfer request..

PS: didnt know where to post it..since its not rumour or banter..

Rudi

Carroll was forced out by the Newcastle owner. Modric has five years left on his contract. Players seem to hold all of the power nowadays as no one wants a player that don't want to be at the club. I think Modric will end up at Chelsea for three reasons, Modric wants the move and Spurs need to sell before they can buy. I also think Chelsea will do their best to secure the services of Modric simply because their main targets seem to be dropping like flies. Arguably their top three targets Sanchez, Neymar & Aguero look to be heading to Barcelona, Real & City respectively. Even Pastore & Ganso are likely to go to one of the Milanese clubs or to Spain. Luckily for Chelsea Modric wants to stay in London. I think Rolando & Lukaku will sign for Chelsea too.

I still think Chelsea will be our main threat next season, more so than City, but I do believe Chelsea will be slightly weaker than they were last season. Just my opinion.

Sydney!

Certain players are commited to where they are. Paul Scholes is a perfect example of this. He wouldn't have went anywhere no matter what offer came his way.

But that was back in the day when football wasn't about who had the most money.

David Silva... Who would have thought a player with such quality would join Man City of all teams? City showed them the money and he went. He wasn't bothered about the history of the club or how much silverware he's going to win at Man City. Now-a-days football is about money and I hate to say it, but it's true.

Money will make heads turn in the modern football world.

The funny thing about the david silva transfer to city was that when he joined he said he always dreamed of playing for city now im not saying he didn't i did not know him growing up but if you work out his age city spent most of there time in the lower leagues and never really doing anything in the premiership till the money came in when he was younger money can obviously make you say and do stupid things
