Manchester United Rumours
Just a few issues that i'd like to give my opinion on;

1) the Glazers - I don't actually mind them, okay, so they may have completely ruined the club financially but not in the way that Liverpool was destroyed, if Sir Alex wants money he can have it, and i think based on that then they've been very good owners, if we could get rid of the debt and keep the Glazers then i'd rather do that than get some rich billionaire for Dubai or China, etc. That's my opinion though.

2) All Transfer Issues - Honestly i think Lindergaard is our new number one, i really don't see De Gea coming, and i never have done, don't get me wrong i think he's one of the best around at the moment but i just never saw it happening, but from what i've seen of Lindergaard he seems quite good, However i would of rather seen Kuszczack become our number one, i think he's more than capable, but it seems he wants out, therefore i'd assume we're pushing Amos to be our number 2.
Jordan Henderson - I don't rate him at all. Sure he's had a good season and he's shown some potential but think of the 100's of players that have done this at some stage of their career, come back next year and if he's still playing well then i'll rate him.

Defour - I really want this kid to sign for us, he is just pure class, i think we will get him, my only problem would be that it means Pogba will be pushed back down the pecking order.

Sanchez - hm, still not totally convinced by him, i like him, and i think we need a left sided player seeing as Obertan has converted to a right sided only player, but would i be correct in saying that Cleverley is a left sided player? if that is the case then i don't think we'll sign him, and sure, he can play in CM but if we've got Scholes/Carrick and Fletcher with possibly defour then theres no room. Yes, he can play as a CF as well but you have to look at the fact that Hernandez, Rooney, Macheda, Welbeck, Berbatov and Diouf then i don't think we really need him there either!

Bale - just no! i think he's the most over-rated player EVER. he's had a good year (2010), but nomore, sure he's shown potential, but in no way shape or form should be placed in the same class bracket as the likes of Giggs and Messi! the same applies to him as it does with Henderson give him 3 years and if he's still being compared to the likes of Messi then maybe i'll change my opinion on him.

I don't have a concrete source but i have a mate who i see about 3-4 times a year who seems to be consistant with what he says about football, he gives me about 9-10 names and always 1 player gets signed, he did it with Berbatov, Anderson, Carrick and i believe he done it with Van Der Sar too? anyway i saw him yesterday and these are the names he's given too me;

Cambiasso - he'll be fairly cheap considering his age, tons of EXP and a pretty good player! (my opinion added to why they could be signed)

Sebastian Giovinco - Italy's version of Aaron Lennon, at 23 and a cost of around £5-£11 Million he would be a steal (OPINION ON THIS KID PLEASE ED. )

Lisandro Lopez - a late blooming forward, who can play on both wings, so he could he a snapped up for a price of around £11 million.

Bastian Schweinsteiger - I don't really need to say anything about him, personally i feel it's a ploy for him to sign a new contract.

Carlos Martins - The Benfica man can play either wing and in a creative role, he's done well in the national team and could be a top player with the right team, i'd estimate about £7-£9 Million.

Javier Pastore - one of footballs rising stars, would make a good scholes replacement. price probably around £11-£20 Million.

Neymar - A good up and coming forward, certainly worth the punt based on talent, stumbling blocks would be attitude and fee.

Alexandre Pato - I believe this would only be a target if Rooney were to be sold, one of the more unlikely but no doubt he is WORLD CLASS. Fee would be around £38-£55 Million.


Dani Alvez - With a move all but certain he could be a real target as the problem area for United is the RB area, we also have a good relationship with Barca due to the Pique sale (although we did poach him). before people mention 'what about RAFAEL well Alves is 27 so it would be no different to the Fabio-Evra situation at LB.

. .*ED, I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT ALL OF THIS ESPECIALLY; PASTORE, GIOVINCO AND MARTINS*. .
{Editor's note - Madrid had a 30 million euro bid rejected for Pastore but imo he will be one of the best players in the world some day, the rest of them look good players. Would love De Gea, Pastore and Sanchez in the summer}

Hey Ed. I'm excited about this Epsom news, but have a feeling it could be a bit premature and will turn out to be a sponsorship deal.

What are you're gut instincts?

Cheers, Rudderpost.
{Editor's note - I think it is a sponsorship}

@Ed. how is your digging going? I have looked on 100s of papers and football sites and i cannot find anything other than that German writing that was translated that i posted earlier and the Mirror have printed a story saying we have agreed a sponsorship deal with Epson.

That's just two sources from 1000s of European journalists from around the world.

Any luck your end Ed?

Hey ed do you remember when i said during the rooney saga that the meeting went well and he was signing a new contract?, a full 24 hours b4 the news was brough that rooney was signed i told you from a great inside source?

again some transfer news which is in the water!, lingaard is a done deal hell be arriving in january, kuz will be sold for around 3-5 million

also de gea, united want him its just stalled in agreeing a price, united want t pay around 10-12 million, but madrid are asking for aorund 18 million and united don't think that is value for a player of his age, but ill let u lot differ on the price.

and finally defor, united have quitely contacted standard and enquired, but that's it no real attept t negotioate.

united till i die!

Manchester United have confirmed that 'Epson' the Japanese printing giants have agreed a platinum sponsorship deal with the club. Another huge sponsorship deal added to the clubs current sponsors.

Editor - Is a platinum sponsor a big money sponsor? Is this where they got the 220m form? Could it be a 10 or 20 year contract for 220m cash upfront?

If so that would be very good news would it not?
{Editor's note - Not sure, wouldn't the money then have been put into the club and then taken out from it? The Glazers said they are not paying the debt of through the clubs money}

*I fear I already know the answer to this but which keeper do you think that we really want? For me it would be De Gea without question. He is younger, yet has more experience at a higher level and is destined to be one of the top keepers in the world. . .what does Lindegaard have going for him? His price.

StatoTK

Come on son, use your noggin its obvious hes the Kuszczak replacement, Fergie will assess him until the summer and if he is good enough he will become our number one, i think he will hold his own but i think Fergie really wants De Gea.

Lindegaard or McGregor was looked at to replace Tommy K, De Gea is the carbon copy of Van Der Sar and i expect him to replace him long term. United have just Barcelona as competition for De Gea.

Whitepele once again you've been proved an idiot! Nicky butt is going on trial with South China FC not becoming reserves manager!

"Put two and two together about the vacancies at the club" - IDIOT!

I suggest in the future you wait to see what the Utd website puts up and then claim it as your own.

An announcement will also follow regarding Lindegaard, there wasn't due to be one yet. This deal is not recent and has been agreed for a little while. It was part of the deal that the announcement would be made by Utd first as is the case with most deals, mainly not to upset anyone currently at the club should they be required before Lindegaard joins.

Papers say evra wants out of united but he will sign new contract to maxmise there profit.Would evra leave united?

@If he does then we will only get around 10-12m for him because of his age, he maybe used in a part-exchange deal with Real? But i think he is just trying to get a bigger contract after watching Rooney get his.

Sydney!
Didnt someone say not so long ago this was the guy who had the club in his soul. Yeh looks like it.

Further rumours persist regarding Evra's future at United. Will United sign another left back, or give Fabio his chance?

Other Rumours.

Welbeck and Evans set to leave United in the summer with Sunderland a likely destination for both players.

Big Sam wants Diouf on a permanent basis.

Ravel Morrison will go on loan in January, destination yet to be decided but Middlesbrough are in the hunt.

Paul Pogba to be included in the squad for the next Carling Cup game.

Whitepele

CAN YOU TELL US WHY?

I can't really before the official announcement but if you think of current vacancies at Old Trafford and put two and two together your get it. He will be meeting with the press throughout today.

Whitepele

Is that because you only know what the Man Utd website tells you? The Nicky Butt story was on there at 10.30 this morning, and why else would there be an announcement apart from him becoming a coach? Any idiot could of figured that out, I suggest you stop pretending to be someone of any significance

Just heard from a friend who works at the club that Nikky Butt will be announced as a new coach today. He also ensures me that we will sign Lindegard in January with Tomas K leaving. A higher fee will be paid over the summer for a top goal keeper to replace VDS. The two will then compete for the number 1 shirt.

@ RAINFISH i usually agree with u rainfish but think u r way off with a couple of the points u made. .i don't think utd r pretending to show interest in de gea to get lindergaard deal pushed thru. the guy is desperate imo to join utd n its well publicised utd will most likely need 2 gk seen kusczak wants out. .also the point on stretford i don't think fergie is trying to drive rooney out thru his agent. he is just sick of agents like him tryin to unsettle players for big money moves. he is tryin i think to push rooney into dropping stretford nothing else i am sure he is mad to get a fully fit rooney with his head in the right place n not getting turned by outside influence. .he is delighted rooney has signed a new contract n wants to build a new team around him imo. .do u think im right r wrong ed? ? {ed's note - I don't know mate, Rainfish could be right, Stretford is the lowest of the low mate, I wouldn't let any of my players have anything to do with him if it was up to me.}

Editor, Schmeichel has come out and said that Lindegaard is not good enough to be Manchester United's number one, now its clear Kuszczak is leaving, is it fair to say they will test Lindegaard until the summer but are more than likely going to buy Manchester United's number one? Possibly De Gea? {ed's note - I would be very surprised if Lindegaard was bought to be number one, I am still of the opinion that De Gea is the one that will take over.}
