is there any chance of us putting a sneaky bid for parker

Now please stop these Parker rumours. We may clash with Barca, Real Madrid, Inter, Milan in CL. How would Parker fare against these teams?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of Parker but he won Player of the year and represented his country then surely he cant be that bad. If we fail to strengthen our midfield maybe a season long loan wouldn't be too bad option for all parties.

He represented England these days i could do that if i really wanted to

Dutch guy on talksport

Question: Is it true Wesley Sneijder has his heart set on a move to Man Utd?

Answer: Absolutely, absolutely.

Well spank my ass and call me shirley....if the "dutch guy" said it then Im off to get my Sneijder shirt printed ;)

TK-Red

I'm gonna get a shirt with dutch guy printed on the back if this is true Jroc

Im going to get a shirt with "The dutch guy says Yes, screw you Delmonte"

He has NOT got his heart set on a move he WANTS to stay at Inter. He said so himself. He said IF he leaves its because the club WANT him to not because he wants to. Get your heads out the clouds

That was a classic I do believe he wants to come though. Half a season of benitez will put anyone off a club Of course he is not going to say he wants to leave Inter. if he stays the fans would love that

Manchester United are set to launch an amazing £32m bid for the former ballon d or winner Kaka from Real Madrid. In what looks likely to become Sir Alex s biggest summer spending spree in his 24 years in charge. Manchester United's transfer policy is not usually to sign a player of kaka s age(29) but ferguson has been a long term admirer of the Real Madrid playmaker. After what has been a nightmare spell at the bernabue it is a deal that kaka would relish and If anyone could nurse Kaka back to form it would be Sir Alex

Bull s**t kakas injury prone and out of form maybe past it and hes on massive wages and would take to long to settle into the EPL

Lol, £32 million bid for a 29 year old who he needs to nurse.... Fergies not senile yet. Although better still kept spreading it and maybe Man sh*tty will try and hijack it and go him :)

As good a rumour as any on this site. Not happening though.

If he ever was to join United it would be on Loan.

Kaka is worth £5m-£10 if that. He is nearing 30 is injured most of the time and when not is a shadow of the wonderful player he once was.
Mik

Nobody will take a chance with kaka for silly money, but for a smallish fee would be worth a gamble, unless madrid see sense on his value there stuck with him on silly wages and hardly any playing time

Think it would def be worth a bid of around 20m?

Utd work on policy of 27 or under for most major transfers, u wont get fergie payin that much even if he was fully fit, its 2 years then dead money

Kaka has a CHRONIC knee problem
Real would struggle to get bags of money for him under these circumstances.

all quiet on here at the moment...

People on holiday or have we all realised that are summer spending is over? I've heard that we are now cooling off signing anyone. We had 3 targets and all have not come off, so now they are thinking they will do with what they have.

I personally think we desperately need a creative midfielder. We want to match Barca, but we're not mending the area that's required to do this.

Jones is a Centre defender, so anyone else claiming he's a midfielder is deluding themselves that he is the answer...He's not.

I've also been told that United will not sign Ganso (unproven and a risk) Pastore (too much of a risk) or Rodwell (too much and not fulfilling potential just yet)

So, i think Cleverly has a big chance to shine along with Anderson. Transition year for us, but short term pain for long term gain

Agree regarding midfield.... but must add that Anderson is just not good enough... i hear people say differently ...but that guy is big lazy Brazilian that cannot get box-box and is nowhere near scholes...if he was good enough he would have pld in euro final...midfield does need addressing and maybe two addtions...Schneider too expensive for 27... maybe Nasri with possible Schweinsteiger...long term then we look at Pogba/Tunnicliffe/Morrison... another point ...i would have Will keane ahead of Wellbeck {Ed007's Note - You do know that Schweinsteiger turns 27 on 1st of August? Him and Sneijder are the same age.}

I agree to an extent. Anderson has shown that he has the ability, but has failed to be consistent throughout the season. A full season will decide his future. I am more concerned about the wellfare of Darren Fletcher, leaving us with Carrick who takes 6 months to warm up.

Schweinsteiger will not be joining. He's signed a new contract recently, so we can forget him and Nasri is off to City.

I see the dilemma. There's not much out there, so why not give youth a chance..

There is no question about us having strong defensive, GK, winger and striking options, but our CMF is worse than the other top 6 in EPL with exception of Arsenal if they lose their big 2. We have great youth to come through around 2014-15. However Carrick is just OK, Fletcher when fit is a real worker of the Nicky Butt sort, but not top class. Anderson is as good as it gets but though capable of being very good, can also be poor and inconsistent. Jones could do a job as DMF but we desperately need at least one creative midfielder, They are out there-Ganso-Hamsik-Erikson-or go cheaper and go for Honda.
Mik

Mik,

Do you seriously see Honda, Erikson or Hamsik being that great for United? Better than Cleverly? They would be just as big a gamble as he is. I completely agree that we need a creative Midfielder, but we need someone proven and experienced. Scholes is impossible to replace, but some 90% there would be great. Only Sneijder and Modric would fit that.
