If the only the bouncers would let me go and tell Anderson to get out of Tiger Tiger and back home into the gym. Not happy to see him & Obertan out on Student night. . Might give Fergie a call!

And Douglas Costa fits the descripton best but he'd be £20m

I think there may be some truth behind the big signing talk, if sir alex really wanted a player I think he would be backed, also there must have been something promised to wazza in that meeting before he signed his deal, i know it was also about getting him a good contract but I do belive big signings were talked about also!

This rumour has got a tad out of hand now, there is no £36 Million signing, especially not in January! the two people you guys have said are Hamsik and Kaka.

Well based on the logic of a few posts i've read in the past, Kaka knocked sir Alex before going to Madrid so Sir Alex wouldn't go for him.

And Hamsik? £36 Million for a player who's only been good the past 18 months, a player who isn't proven at a level like the premier League in terms of fitness, Pace and physicality.

The £36 Million signing is. . . .rubbish :|

I think you're right Ed.

Hmmm, Ganso and Pastore both seem to be incredible players, although I haven't seen enough of either of them to give a valued judgement. However. . .Ganso I think may have more potential, although given his cruciate injury, I would probably prefer Pastore for now.

I know this is all hypothetical, but I think we can only wish for either of these players to join.

Thats a hard 1 ed, pastore has been in europe a year or so now which I suppose is a bonus, only seen ganso on you tube but he looks awsome but could take a while to settle to our game, all in all I think ganso might be slightly cheaper but id say pastore is less of a risk but if you could get ganso for alot cheaper-say 20m, then id take a chance on him!

Ganso or pastore would cost around the 36m mark id say but still can't see it happening!
{Editor's note - Out of curiosity which of those 2 players would the people on this site like to see bought?}

Could Kaka be this elusive '£36 million signing'? (Ed, do you think we will buy another player apart from Lindegaard this Jan?)

I doubt we will splash that amount however.

I would stop getting carried away with these alledged great midfield signings. SAF will not be spending big in January and I'm sure he has a multitude of irons in the fire for the summer, as is normally the case. I wouldn't expect any signings in January, but if there is, it will not be a big money one.

This guy who has everyone flustered over a take over and 36million player is full of SH*TE. don't get me wrong i will eat my hat along with humble pie if he's right but its an absolute joke. . .no one is joining for 36million and Malcolm Glazer will not sell for 1.35 billion. Simple as. .

Why are we deliberating over this player because there isn't one that meets the criteria.

The guy says "currently in europe, bt nt too long", it means he has to be a brazilian or argentine for 36m.cnt think of any players joining european leagues recently.

""". .so editors, Ngiak and Rainfish please I urge you to talk to your contacts and then you will know that something is going on and maybe your snippets will match up with mine. . .which they will!"""
dear unnamed sir,
ngaiak does not know sir alex ferguson, mr gill or the glazers. nor does he know sir bobby charlton. these are probably the only guys who will know about transfers.
but if they do decide for a transfer, and negotiations start taking place, then ngiak has indirect friends who will know IF there is an activity. not the exact person bought.
as ngiak has mentioned yesterday, there is no activity at the moment, and certainly no activity in the scale of a buy over. that will take many months of negotiations and a long drawn process of financial red-tape.
so as of today at this time, no there is NO takeover and NO big buys. .
36 million, ha ha ha
ngiak is seriously amused.

@ How about giving us an age group? Because if the player he is talking about is anything over 28 he has no idea about Manchester United.

"Either way none of the "Hargreaves-type" players we have been linked with, "that would make Europe mourn" and "leave rivals fuming" are worth anywhere close to 36m. Basically, I think this is all a bunch of lies"

Why are people ignoring the Ganso suggestion?

If he has recovered from his injury then that is the sort of price range, he is wanted by Real, AC Milan and co, is 6 foot tall and physically strong, one report indicated he could be a defensive midfield player but has all the skills. Utd have a relationship with Santos after the Possebon deal. This lad has it all and wanted by all , if he recovers from his injury. He is due for his next medical examination on 28th December but where is he now?

He's clearly talking about Schweinsteiger. Even considering the fact that he's on a new deal, I think 36 million would probably make Bayern sellers.

Editors. . .you should have shown my post the other day. . lets just say 1.35billion. . .and think you can join the dots yourselves. And for those who doubt Fergie. . .get ready to apologise at the end of January when another shock buy in relation to United is aired. . deal done. . .midfield sorted. . . .36mill. . watch. . . !
{Editor's note - Give us a hint as to who the 36 million was spent on, the only players in midfield I can think that would cost that much are Sneijder, Schweinsteiger and maybe Pastore}

@Doubt it would be Schweinsteiger as hes just signed a new deal, but then again so has Pastore & Sneijder. Who knows? Could the fee be 30m and the 6m be the first years wages?

Modric?

Not Essien. .or Rossi. . .is currently in Europe. .but not for long. . . think physical. .but talented. . able to hold the midfield as Keane used too! But with more talent at his disposal. . .more control on the ball and passing and is mentioned often on this site so there will be happy people posting soon. . I will also add this. .even though I'm United thru and thru I'm a huge admirer of Essien. . but this guy puts him to shame. . or should I say looks like Essien did when arrived at Chelsea but will at Utd grow into the finished article just as Essien did and then will put him to shame. . A raw talent people already comment on and a midfielder with too much physical presence for most fluffy European sides to cope with. . .enuf. . I need to run and hide!
{Editor's note - Vidal? Though he would not cost that much. Am trying to thik of players who cost over 30 million Schweinsteiger? De Rossi? Cambiaso?}

The moon - can't see us moving for anyone in spain, apart from de gea. Dont need a striker or a winger. So if its true, maybe de gea. Personally, a gk we have all overlooked and hasnt been happy for awhile at his club, is casillas! Think hes 28? Maybe a new challenge? Hugely experienced

And with becks, he ran his heart out for england and us. His england performances were prob better than his uniteds after 99. Fergie had enough of his lifestyle and decided to cash in while he could. To me though - a united legend. Would love to see him in a red shirt again for last half of season. But will never happen. Jamesmack8.

Mr. Editor. . What do u think on the possibilities of man united signing Gourcuff from Lyon. . I am having a reliable source stating that gourcuff is being thought as a replacement of scholes. . And another youn player man united might sign as soon as in january is Ninis. .
What is your say on both players?

Shiv!
{Editir's note - I do not think Gourcuff is good enough for Man Utd, I have not seen much of Ninis to see how good heis over a number of game}

@What i meant was did you hear about the meeting around the time? In Germany & Spain it was reported that fergie met with Ozil after the Fulham game, but do you know anything about it? Did you here about it at the time?

The Danny rumour seems to be picking up a lot of pace! i know we were interested in him a couple of years ago and i think he's a good player, maybe he's the kid we're after in the summer?

ED, What do you think? It seems to be in every paper recently!

I personally think that he'll be alright, but while we're getting him the likes of Chelsea would be a buying a player miles better than him, are just settling for a poor mans Gerrard?

The Moon. {ed's note - it is very rare newspapers get anything right, unless it is common knowledge anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much yet.}
