ED'S going to ask you a question? Do you think United will sign anyone in January and if so who do you think it is most likely to be?

Jasper {Ed007's Note - Personally I don't think there will be any January signings and if there is it will be youngsters.}

Personally I think that there will be more action than normal as there is work to be done. I'm still sticking with my prediction of Fisher and Stootman in and Nani, Macheda and King out.

Fresh!

Doubt strootman will be in January if anything I think summer, won't he be champions league tied? Same with Fischer? I think nani and macheda out and possibly a couple of youngsters brought in

Munkydunc

I think Strootman will definitely be considered to be a summer addition. The fact he was captaining Holland the other night show he has leader qualities not to mention his overall ability in the middle of the field. What is he 22? Dutch as well and if the recent signings of Buttner and RvP are to go by then Strootman is highly likely.

Ozwald

I think there will be quite a few going out but no big signings coming in until the summer. Nani and Macheda will definitely go IMO. Petrucci and King might go as well.

Dan

There will be no signing in Jan. Do agree there maybe some leaving, but all incoming will be done in the summer.

Guys, do you think that Ferdinand will be offered a new contract or will he be allowed to leave on a free? Thoughts? I think he will but there is always the chance that he won't be here next year.

Fresh! {Ed007's Note - I am sticking by my MLS prediction for him. I said it would have been summer '12 or '13. He will be very attracted by the exposure any move to the USA would bring IMO.}

I know all the fans including me do not want the naming rights at Old Trafford being sold, and I saw Sydney talk about naming a stand, I think a better deal would be selling the naming rights to Carrington Training Ground, it has been talked about in the past and would bring in a lot of money to the club to pay off the debt and help transfers, companies like Nike would be very interested to strengthen their bond with the biggest club in the world. P.S unless united change kit sponsors soon.

RedKnight

Carrington should be named after Jimmy Murphy.

South Stand after Sir Matt maybe although there's already Sir Matt Busby Way.

And the Babes should have a proper statue, maybe based on the final team photo.

Perhaps with all that land being bought up around OT they could have a proper museum and memorials.

No matter what they call it, it will always be old trafford to us! So i say if they can raise a shedload of money, do it!

I wouldnt be against re-naming either a stand or Carrington tbh, so long as we keep OT and bring in additional funds. Football has changed beyond the point where clubs can afford to overlook such opportunities

Gav

United already have a new kit sponsor (Chevrolet) lined up for the next few seasons, no?

One for the eds or any other fan..... What do you think of the latest rumours on Porto's main man Rodriguez?? All paper talk or maybe some truth in the stories??? Maybe it all depends on nani {Ed002's Note - Three clubs spoke to Porto about James Rodrigues and two bids were rejected. Neither matches Porto's valuation of the player. The bidding clubs were Manchester United and Palermo whilst Bayern Munich looking looking carefully at Rodrigues as an alternative to Dries Mertens who they are keen to move for next summer. There may well have been enquiries from other clubs including Juventus and Napoli. It may be tough to find someone to pay the sort of fee Porto would be looking for.}

Ed002 would you happen to know the aprox amount we did bid..... please?

thanks

OXred {Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to the figures but Porto were looking for 40M euros for Rodriguez.}
