If united win the league and do well
In champions league this is what iv been tild will happen in the summer

Out
Carrick 10m
Berbatov 15m (anzhi)
Park 5m

In
Modric or Mountiniho
Gago 10m
A young striker in the mould of berba 12m {Ed007's Note - So what happens if they don't do well in the CL? Not buy anyone??}

Who told you that - your mate down the pub?

Marky Mark

Nah, that guy who swears he safs great Grandad who lives in the bushes next to the duck pond in Glasgow who gives you united tips if you feed him Hovis Best of Both...also goes by the name Ed007 ;)

JWalk {Ed007's Note - That's just uncalled for!! It's 002's bush I live in ;-)

Well this is bullsheizer.

Berbas is out of contract next year

A striker in mould of berb!
We have the real Tussard wax model sat on the bench don't need to replace it just need rid
KingE

If you had just said this is what I would like United to do next summer then people wouldn't jump on your back like they have. Saying you have a source/have been told by someone is just stupid as that info isn't widely available.

Carrick out for £10 million? I'd say more like £4 million!

Berbatov out for £15 million? I'd snatch their hand off for that price for him!

Park won't go nowhere. He hasn't long been signed a new deal at United.

Modric won't come. He has his heart set on a move to Chelsea. Spurs also turned a last minute £40 million bid from Chelsea on deadline day. So, if SAF does want him... he'll have to cough up!

Gago... why? we don't need him.

Berba for £15m? His contract runs out in the summer so he's a free agent. That basically screws up that theory then

I thought the Mirror said we were being bought by Qatari's today. Is this a quarterly thing. I thought they were buying us on June 30th. I suppose the Mirror will run the story again in December.

So what is it to be Flotation or the Qatari's

Mike the Moston Red

Glazers decided not to float yet as market is volatile even though they have been approved to float club.

Also you said Mirror they tend to print alot of bull!!

I think Evra has lost his touch,he is no-where near where he was 2 seasons ago.
Rafael is very good right back no doubt about that,..but Fabio can also be a good right back,he has played as a right back last season and did very well...
My question is,..can Fabio take over from Evra and be a regular left back in the year`s time or do we have to look for someone for that spot..some names will be thrown one of them is Izaguirre.!
Anyone.?

DC_9

I think that Rafael is a good right back. I also think that Fabio is a good right back. But who's a better right back?

There's only one way to find out ...


FIGHT!!!!


Danny Pughnited

Evra was back to his best against Chelsea let's hope he keeps it up!

Evra was okay apart from the two occasions Ramires slipped him and had two good chances against De Gea with Evra in no mans land. Can't wait for Vidic to return. I hope it's this Saturday.

Sydney!

Okay i can understand people's frustration at Carrick 'loosing his touch' but Evra?!
No no, i still believe many teams fear old Patrice.. He's so experienced and he's got such a fighting spirit on or off the ball! Fans should be happy we still have him.

Ozwald {Ed004's Note - But he is loosing his legs every season now and that will cost us. I think a replacement needs to be bought this summer. Bale would be the expensive one or Izaguirre}

Obviously you did not watch yesterdays game, as Evra was superb, his best game this season.

No way we could sign bale. Definitely Barca will get him.

How about evans as a left back? he wouldnt have as much defensive responsibility and he is able to pick a pass

Evra's qualities are his pace and attacking support. Watch how many times he takes the ball down the left hand side. If you can think of many better than Evra then feel free to list. He's as good as any other in the Prem and up their with the best in Europe.
As for the person saying Evans as left back, some Utd fans baffle me. Also, why do we need to buy a left back? Fabio looks a great prospect.

Rant over.

Evra is getting older. Sure, i've seen him make some bad defensive mistakes. But, Evra is easily one of the best leaders on the team. Just look at his relationship with Young, Park, and others. He has a bright and welcoming attitudes. Saying that, it might be his last year as a starter but still play.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every time you yo-yos mumble nonsense about Evra being past it, I laugh. I laugh because of how remarkably obvious it is that none of you knows a thing about football.

Next time you feel like mimicking some popular tripe you've heard or *gasp* read, instead of echoing the thought with a vacuous look on your faces, do a little research yourself on Evra's statistics.

I think whenever we play fabio we struggle defensively. He's to lightweight

I thought Evra had a good game against Chelsea but on the whole I do agree that he isn't up there as much as he was 2 seasons ago.

Fabio is not a bad player. But he's only young still and I don't think he could yet read the game as well as Evra. Evra has a few years more experience over Fabio.

If Evra left in January, I would look for another Left Back that would be our number one Left Back. There isn't many of them around these days although Aly Cissokho and Fabio Coentrao do stick out for me. Coentrao just recently moved to Real Madrid though so we couldn't even bid for him.

Hi ed, syd any idea what is happening with ravel Morrison. He has not been involved with academy, reserves and not involved tomorrow against Leeds. Seems to of disappear off the radar.

Neil

Sydney!

Is it a bad injury ?? how long his he expected to be out

oxred

Also isint he tagged? i heard he was tagged and if he is he has 2 be home by 7pm or his tag will go off maybe the eds or syd knows
THE HEMMINATOR {Ed001's Note - good point, I forgot that was one of the conditions of his last court case, but they normally make exceptions for work.}

Jamie Redknapp says on SSN that United want Modric. He obviously talks to daddy. So now Chelsea have signed Meireles & Mata who likes to come inside, will Chelsea still want Modric? Will Levy stop him from leaving next summer too if Modric wants out?

Sydney!

You read into things way to much mate.

Lampard will be out the team,They will see Modric as the ideal replacement.

With the knowledge that Chelsea & United wanted Modric and the possibility of Chelsea no longer wanting him, you have to see that there is always a chance of him coming here, especially seems we haven't filled the position yet. Lampard could go next year, but can Chelsea go on another spending spree next summer too? Wouldn't they pushing their luck with these FFP rulings? Just a thought.

Sydney!

Even if chelsea don't want him he doesn't want us, he made that clear in the summer and i don't want players here if were not their first choice to play for. besides we won't spend the money required to get him, i'd rather go for Mouthinho anyway now.
Shappy

Shappy it's not that he doesn't want us, Its juat that chelsea were to only team to make an official offer. I know he said he wanted to stay in london but if United made a bid and it was accepted. do you still think modric will reject it? Also i think redknapp will prefer to sell modric to man utd bcos of the last window and with fergie respecting redknapps stance on modric. TRUMORS

Sounds like a bit of a long shot to me this....having said that, I'll be praying this theory has some accuracy as in my opinion Modric is the one player who would elevate Utd's play over and above anyone else we have been linked with

he's averaging almost a pass per minute in the prem at the moment, just one of many stats that illustrate his dominance of creative play in the middle of the park...which just happens to be what we need!

and before anyone mentions the fact he doesnt score goals, 1 - Utd arent lacking goalscorers with Rooney, Hernandez, Young and Nani all firing, and 2 - Modric does have the ability to score golas anyway...just look at the goals he has managed for Spurs (mostly screamers) and tell me he isnt likely to score 10+ in Utd's team, with more opportunities to go forward

anyway as you can tell I'm a fan of Modric, so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed until next summer : )

HP

Even if he scored none, the amount of goals he would create would be startling. But I do agree, he would score around 10 goals easily in this United team.

Sydney!

I think United should buy a young and good defender in Jan and let Jones play in mid. I know he said he prefers defense but now he is so much confident on ball while going forward. It would be a waste of great talent IMO if he doesnt play in mid more often.

SHAITAN

Or with Vidic ferdinand and Rafael back from injury along with Smalling Evans Fabio and Evra we could buy no one and just play Jines there.
Shappy

*Jones* obviously. lol

Ferdinand has a couple of years left on him, Evans is no good, Evra is OK at the moment so we should be looking at one more defender.

SHAITAN

Jones seems to have a similar style of play to the legendary Franz Beckenbauer, both confident on the ball and can bring it out of defence.
In defence of Evans at least he has been paying attention to Paul Scholes coaching as his passing is improving(and very similarly styled!)

Did anyone see the mistake made by Reina for Tottenham's third goal? If that was De Gea they (media, blue noses, scousers etc) would have been all over it like a tramp on a bag of chips!!

Salford C

Totally agree with you

Yeah but the press wants to knock the top teams and their players as it sells more papers then knocking players from teams nobody cares about.
Shappy {Ed001's Note - apart from Shappy having a point, if Liverpool were top of the table it would have been in the news. I think a lot more of it comes down to how Reina conducts himself, he is well liked by people, so there are no press desperate to jump on him. He is also not a recent huge money signing like De Gea and so has had time to prove himself.}

Yh but lets be honest reina has proven to be one of the leagues best keepers and de gea is new so tht is why they are down on him like a sack of s*it to try and make something bad of man utd's amazing season
