Just my opinion:
I think we should enquiry more seriously for Dembele, he's a good and cheap option! Modric's price tag is a bit unrealistic for us and look like we're not for Moutinho, M'vila, Martinez or Witsel. I just hope we buy Lucas, an LB and a good CM.

Dembele is a secret weapon...a poor mans Zidane but Zidane all the same!?!?

It looks as though we are still in with a shout for a number of players still with RVP, Baines, Moura, Dembele and Wanyama deals still ongoing - obviously we won't get them all. I still think we will get Baines, epecially since Everton are looking at Oveido. Personally if we don't get RVP then I very much hope that he goes to Juventus as I really don't want City to get any stronger. As for Moura, well everything is pointing to a deal for him, he seems the most likely signing out of anyone for us - woudl still rather have someone who is more proficient on the left though but Valencia and Moura for the right and Young/Nani for the left isn't too bad at all - Young is certainly the one that we can leave out the easiest. And lastly for Wanyama or Dembele...apparently we have bid for Dembele but I cannot see us going over £10 million for him, something that Fulham won't accept. But we could get Wanyama for that which would be a good deal.

I've watched a few highlights of Moura and it doesn't look like he is a Right Winger.. From the highlights i'v seen it looked like Vintage Kaka in his Milan days! Love to see him in a gingham kit this season :)

I have read from a few different sources that there is no real interest in wanyama from united, maybe one of the edds could confirm.

Eds, any chance in us getting a new assistant manager to help us improve tactically? We have really missed Carlos Queiroz.

Ozzy {Ed002's Note - Someone like Laurent Blanc? No idea.}

Believable27 Unbelievable8

I have been saying this for years. Mike Phelan, while a nice guy, is tactically incompitent. Can you imagine if Pep Guadiola was there as Fergie no2 ! He will get less pressure and we can be getting the best man to replace Fergie.
I am amazed this has not been mentioned before.

Agree1 Disagree0

Is that a hint ED02?

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that a subtle hint?

I say mike phelan is good enough as an assisstant

LB as assistant would be a great signing.

not only a new number 2 with great technically ability, that already knows the club but our way to tap into the french market...

Agree0 Disagree0

Fergie says he's good enough and I think he knows more than any of us

Dustbin

Agree0 Disagree0

Fergie also said the glazers were good for the club...

not everything he thinks or says is correct...

Agree0 Disagree0

Giggs should be assistant to the next manager. I back Giggs to be manager in the not too distant future. Maybe not as SAFs replacement, but for the long term. Maybe even Rio, I want someone who loves the club and is hungry for success. Tactics can be sorted by the first team coach.

Some posts on twitter saying that Moura has told Sao Paulo that he doesn't want to sign a new contract and that he expects to be a united player before the end of the transfer window

A good bit of chatter today about fergie and gill flying to London this morning for RVP talks regarding a 22m pound offer......did anyone else hear anything ?

Hope so!

Agent Fabio Parisi has made the shock claim that Robin van Persie has already signed a contract with Juventus. Parisi told SportItalia
(c&p)
Dunno how true this is but he did also say he believed a deal was signed awhile ago.

Agree0 Disagree0

Seriously what a load of b*******. Anybody who support Man Utd should know by now that Fergie treats the money likes its his own personal cash. United will not sign RVP or Moura or Modric (wish they would).

Its the same every year and will continue to be the same until such time somebody like the Dubai Royal Family buys the club.

Have you all been asleep for the past 5 years, its like a soap opera Fergie spouting no value blah blah, we are linked with every man and his dog. When did we last go out and get a top player...........my advice would be to stop coming on here and just look forward to the first game with the squad we have cos it wont change.

Agree1 Disagree0

Oh the irony of the no named poster who comes on a rumours website, to tell people to stop coming on a rumours website, as it's all just rumours .... Jog on son
Hallis

Agree0 Disagree0

So why come on a rumour site then urself ? U say stop coming to this site n yet here u r .... Not saying ur wrong an maybe we won't sign anyone but wat harm does it do to u for us to speculate maybe u should stop going to rumour sites !

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats wrong with SAF treating the money like his own cash? sounds emminently sensible thing to do

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said m8, couldnt of put it better myself, the majority of people that post on here are in cloud cuckoo land, THE REALIST....

Agree0 Disagree0

Posting rumours on a rumour site is now known as cuckoo land? And ironically the same muppets will be reading my post and contemplating retaliating to it

In sir alex we trust every season since the take over people keep on about we dont sign him or him and now were losing up and coming youngsters but i can tell you one thing sir alex always finds a way of ending up on top with what ever resourse he has who ever he brings in either step or are moved on there are loads of good players that have come in and become great players we dont have to pay 40 m for a modric we can pay 10m for dembele and get him to the level of a modric or moutinho not saying the best option is dembele of the three just saying who ever comes in will have to win games for us and ultimately compitions we could get modric and he flops we could get dembele and he could flourish into a world class player it is down to sir alex he is the man and what we do as a club as long as he remains here we should not worry to much about who we sign its when he does finaly go we should worry

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of tosh. glazers just keeping the fans sweet with rumours as per. no big name coming to old trafford....maybe another 5 to 10m spending left for squad.

...it's on ! The only way for Levy to save face is a swap deal involving Modric....and Nani + £9m !

Lucas will join also as Real Madrid get Sneijder.

Believable7 Unbelievable28

Why would RM want to re-sign WS?

Agree0 Disagree0

That deal ends up being better for tottenham than for us. What a stupid post.They would be getting a younger/better player and £9 million on top of it.

fearny

Agree0 Disagree0

I can't see Sneijder, my impression is RM showed complete disrespect to his ability and If i was him i would not resign with them.. NHred

Here we go according to football souce mcfc are after lucas moura ,is it me or are we always linked with big players but we never go that extra bit and get at least one of them

Believable7 Unbelievable9

If City want Moura for 30 odd million then leave them off. He's unproven at premier league level, he can't get into the Olympic starting 11 and even south american football writers question whether he's worth that kind of money......

My sources tell me not to rule United out of the Modric deal as Real Madrid are now close to giving up becoz of the asking price and availabilty of Witsel at a less cheaper price but we will get him at a bargain as he will frustrate Levy for no suitors will go over 25million pounds and with Modric still pushing through with a deal to go out,and also we look to get a left between BRYAN OVIEDO and IZZAGUIRE as Everton have also stuck to their guns on their 15million pounds asking price,the Lucas Moura deal has been agreed but its the agent that has been strong headed and so that is part of the reason why his parents flew to London to iron out the issue and no striker will come in as Fergie has pledged his support and confidence on Chicha,Rooney,Welbeck and improving Bebe,and also likely to give Macheda the last chance and lastly we are meant to look for a DM to cover and also replace Carrick,first Pogba had been touted as the player before his silent move to Juventus and we are lightly to go Christian Eriksen or Moussa Dembele,to make it 4.....,but my question though even if my source is reliable is DO WE HAVE the cash to pull out all the 4 signings??...given Modric could be 25-35millon pounds,Moura 30million pounds,Oviedo or Izzaguire 10million pounds and Moussa Dembele 10million pounds..TOTALLING to 85million pounds

Believable10 Unbelievable16

So your source thinks united would pay the 40 or so million Levy is asking for? its said Real Madrid are baulking at paying 40 mill and the majority upfront...can you see untied do that? think your source has been on the sauce! or acid...or maybe both! when your source told you this how were his/her eye balls? and were they using slurred speech?

Agree0 Disagree0

Good juicey rumour although if we get modric wil we still get Moura and if we did get the two Wat a peice of business ... Hope your right

CAIN

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont see us signing another 4 players. Modric would be a great signing and untill he signs for anyone else i think we will be keeping an eye on that. Dembele would be a decent signing but i think we'd need to pay more than 10m to get him. A left back will come in but who it is is anyones guess. I honestly think we will sign a further 2 players for around 25-35m. I think berba, macheda, and nani may leave yet to up that amount slightly.


Parks.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oviedo wouldn't cost us £10 mill, we will not be getting modric cause levy won't let him leave for less than £40 mill.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very much doubt we will be spending that sort of cash.

Hopefully one major signing around 25-35 million, and one smaller signing 10-15 million, for a total around 40 million but even that much is far from certain.

Thorne

Agree0 Disagree0

Your source seems to have a very strange opinion of what a defensive midfielder is judging by the players you mention. That along with the rest of this post sounds like utter twaddle personally
Invisible STuey

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully this is true but it probably isn't

Agree0 Disagree0

Dude tottenham have rejected a bid of £38 million for modric from real Madrid and if united won't pay £30 million for Lucas moura then they won't pay £40 million for modric

Agree0 Disagree0

Have Spurs really rejected a £38m offer though? Eds?

I would seriously doubt that given they know he wants out

Gav {Ed007's Note - No Gav, they haven't.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh matey - this makes excellent reading - but is soo far from the truth. No money at OT, no signings, SAF to work his magic with the current squad.....

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Aug 2012 00:52:09
Anyone know whats going on with Moutinho? I still believe he is the type of player we need, and better than Witsel.

Believable11 Unbelievable5

Agreed, and better than Modric as he scores more

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree he would be a good option in CM. To the 1st replier - he's not better than Modric though lol. In fact no1 is better than anyone JUST because they score more goals as judging player ability is not black and white like that! Unless it's on a computer game of course

Gav

Agree0 Disagree0

Moutinho is a better all round player than modric he tackls more and drives his team forward better he scores far more and gets about the pitch more all round midfield general what we have been lacking modric is a grat player but i really rate moutinho he is a little fighter and a man utd type player ala kean , robson type that grabs the team by the scruff of the kneck out of all the names banded about he is the one i would love to see at our club but it aint gonna happen but thats life we will prob end up with dembelle , baines and hopefully lucas who is goona be outstanding
