Gill just been interviewed live on MUTv at Awards dinner, he said and I quote "this summer we are going to be busier than usual bringing players in, we have been working on some for nearly 12months. I'm excited about this and I know the fans will be too because of the "High Quality" players we are bringing in".

That to me means no Charlie Adam and Modric & Sneijder welcome to OT. Thanks goodness!

Also I went for my C/ L tickets today and no silly q's like usual straight to window, security check of ID etc and tickets within 5mins. A Miracle. Q'd over 3 hrs for Rome. Beware tho they are checking your security ID matches with your tickets.

Cant wait now for Wembley and our new signings. .Bring it on.

Nico.

When is the final day to pay for season tickets?

Seems rather unusually and suspiciously upbeat by Gill

I honestly think, we will sign sneijder and possibly a winger. we will buy a goalkeeper, i would love to see adler or neuer to come to united.

According to El Confidential (which isn't very confidential if they are reporting this. ) , United are prepared to offer Real Madrid £35 million in order to secure the services of the Frenchman, while Click Manchester claims the Old Trafford club are already 'in contact' with the Spanish side.

First post but a follower.

The Diego Lopez rumour is true. He's uniteds number 1.

Outs- berbatov definitely.
Macheda, diouf, brown(villa, everton, sundland)
Evra 50/ 50.
Johnny Evans as fergies lost faith.


In- sneijder, Lopez, drogba:o, varanne, and two 17/ 18 year
olds from Argentina and ecuador. A left back and striker.
The young Argie striker had a behind closed door game months ago, he scored four against an experienced defence. All hush hush like the hernandez deal;)

We have not signed lopez or cap devilla, this is nonsense, however we are apparently willing to offer 35m for benzema

Just saw that Capdevila said Diego Lopez just signed for us. If that is the case - not very happy.

Stekelenburg will sign for £13.5m to replace Van Der Sar.

SAF will then try to sign Alexis Sanchez. If for one reason or another this deal collapses then SAF will turn to Young but no more than £18m will be offered for Young.

SAF will offer £30m for Luka Modric. If Harry Redknapp insists Modric isn't for sale at any price then SAF will then turn to Sneijder which will cost £35m.

Believable15 Unbelievable11

Steklenberg (spelling) is quoted as saying that he has received no offers other than from Ajax. Given David Gill's comments about our confidence that we will get our target, I would guess that it isn't the Ajax man. Fair comment ?

Believable20 Unbelievable4

From Twitter:
Modric to united for £150,000 a week, good source apparently. Sounds a pretty good signing.

or is Sneijder far more realistic?

Believable11 Unbelievable19

Ashley young wouldn't be a bad buy for less than 18m. he will have experienced players around him and also could learna thing or two off giggs nani and valencia

Seems like Raphael Varane will be our first "official" signing for next season.

Believable23 Unbelievable3

18 May 2011 17:16:37
Ed do you think that it is likely we will sign a central midfielder AND a winger? A combination of something like Sneijder and Sanchezz? Or are we all dreaming? {Ed007's Note - I think there is a good chance of Sneijder signing, as for Sanchez, I think he would be a fantastic signing but I fear his and his agents head may be turned with astronomical wages being offered elsewhere. As long as the winger isn't Ashley Young, I'll be happy}

I have been told that old Norman who cracks the jokes on Red Cafe, apparently the only fan to be allowed to watch the first team train has passed away. He is very popular around OT, must be in his 80s. At least he died seeing us winning number 19. RIP mate!

Neville has urged scholes to have 1 more season, if he does decide to have 1 more season and we sign the likes of modric or sneijder then maybe it would look like this

Guys

Firstly YABEAUTY! ! champs again and it feels great!
Long time reader of the site but rarely post so be gentle. Here are a few of my thoughts -

IF and its a big IF a financial package for Sanchez is viable i think we have to step up and sign him. He has the potential to be phenomenal and more importantly he LOVES Man Utd. This is a good thing for many reasons but mainly his commitment if ( as a man u player) the likes of Madrid and Barca try to seed the sow of doubt. I would be happy to pay 30million for him. Genuinely we could have the best player in the world for the best part of 10 years.

Midfield. I was pretty annoyed when Javi Martinez signed a new contract with Bilbao. Granted it doesn't mean he won't move and might be simply to get Bilbao more money, however i suspect he is excited by the prospect of the Bilbao team next year. If i'm right Bilbao are due to sign Ander from Sporting, who looks a great player and along with Martinez, Muniain, Llorente they could be have a pretty decent shot at the champions league for the forseeable future.
My second choice would have to be M'Vila. Saw him against England in the friendly earlier this year and thought he looked awesome. 20 yrs old and clearly has the physicality for the EPL. Would be relatively cheap aswell 12-15mill?
GK looks as though it may be De Gea, however i have reservations over his long term commitment and adaptibility to both the league and the move from Spain to Britain. I would prefer Adler from Leverkusen. Cheaper option and again loves Man Utd. Also at a better age.

Jelavic - Nope
Stekelenburg - No thanks
Henderson - No way
Young - please no

So for me its Adler, Sanchez and M'Vila

ED What's the situation with Owen Hargreaves??

I heard that Arsenal were interested in him??

MUMBAI_BOY {Ed007's Note - I've not heard of any interest from Arsenal, I think he might be offered a one year deal to try and get back in the team, then see what happens from there}

Believable9 Unbelievable11

18 May 2011 13:29:31
Revista De La Liga seemed to suggest a deal is on the table for De Gea and it's up to him whether he wants to stay or go.
Also Varane is a strong rumour.

Ed have you heard anything on the Ronaldo issue? I personally think he will re-sign, what do you think? {Ed002's Note - I really don't expect Ronaldo to re-sign for Manchester United.}

Believable18 Unbelievable17

18 May 2011 12:17:04
I believe a midfielder is coming don't know who, a goalie again don't know who, and possibly jeremy menez.

Like most I don't believe anyone on here has insider knowledge of transfers at old trafford be that ngiak, gan, or anyone else, united do not reveal their transfer activity till its done.

at least 4 of the following i reckon

de gea/ stekelenberg
rodwell/ sneidjer/ henderson/ modric
Hulk

and the following to leave

macheda/ obertan/ owen/ vds/ hargreaves/ scholes/ neville/ brown/ bebe.

likely line up
