As i said before the 3 new players for utd are:
David De Gea Deal Done subject to Medical
Wesley Sneijder Fee agreed and wages but there is 2 offers one straight up cash or cash and player both offers are still waiting on Inter directors to decide on if deal takes to long they will turn to Modric.
Alexis Sanchez wants to sign for us but Udinese are putting us into a bidding war with Man City and other clubs the deal might need Sanchez to force it through if deal does not happen they will turn to Ashley Young.
Told by people inside club not naming who because they will get in trouble.

We are apparently sealing the deal for Sanchez. We have agreed a fee and we have agreed a contract. I feel I may be told correctly here but I am not sure. Gilly

I've posted in the past that Modric and united met in jan 2010. I spoke to the person who told me this today. I obviously asked about united.
He told me that there is only about 3 people within old Trafford who know exactly what is going on at any time regarding targets.
He has no close association with any of them whoever they may be.
But he does with modric and there has been roughly 5 meetings altogether between Modric and united.
His only other info was that man
sh*tty have taken a very sudden interest in Stevan jovetic, (good for us regarding Sanchez as they also have Johnson).
Demba ba is a free agent currently in talks with everton but wants 80k a week!
He'll probably end up at Sunderland or tottenham.
Tottenham after one of Samba, Jones or Cahil & jelavic (who he was recommending around last year for peanuts, but no takers & no he is not going to united.)
He did say that he can't see Rodwell joining united as he currently would cost around 20million mark and SAF would be reluctant to go far past 10million.
Lastly he told me united have plenty of money.
My dream summer would be Modric/ sneijder, Sanchez/ costs, de Rossi/ defour, + de gea.
What do you think ed?
Do you also think that we could sign both modric & sneider?

Sydney, Eds, Gan, Mike, Mpez, any updates off you lot. Ray Ray."""
dear mr ray ray
ngiak has contacted his friends last week
there "seems" to be 2 confirmed signings that have been negotiated for awhile
and there seems to be great headway on a third
and we seem to be looking at a fourth
as for the "outs"
there is apparently a lot of players who will be "leaving" as there will be a scrapping of the extra league
thats the official word
expect at least 15 players from various levels to leave, be sold or loaned out
thats from ngiak's friends last week
but ngiak still has doubts the spending of the owners
well time will tell whether the rumours ngiak hear are true, ngiak will believe when he sees the new players paraded. .

Okay, so we've splashed out about £19 million so far on Varane and De Gea, how much is left? The Ronaldo money is still there so that's about £80 million whilst if we sell the likes of Berbatov, Kuszcack, Obertan, Macheda we can stump up about another £30 million. Ask yourself why we would have a clear out? Is it too free up money both for transfers and wages? I think so, all this to bring back Ronaldo, then our young central midfielders like Gibso, Drinkwater and Cleverly can have more game time and Anderson can shine (which he wouldn't do it sneijder came). Ronnie would help Chica out up front with Rooney dropping off and running the play. . sounds like a plan? What do you think ed? {Ed004's Note - Would be an amazing team but I can not see it happening}

sanchez is no city bound. trust me. city are trying very hard to sign him. but the player is holding out for a move to old trafford. and he has been assured by United reps that SAF wants to sign him. United now only need a bid accepted by udinese.

Regarding the so-called piece from the Commercial Dept- People this is a sour scouser on a wind up. Our figures re club were published the other day and our dept- the commercial one doesn't issue figures or collate them this is done by our accountants. And as of Friday 14th May we had already rec'd renewals of over 55% of Season tickets which can be re-newed up to middle of June and the Waiting list does exist and at the moment has just over 3000 people on it. Nice Try.

This is from the United Commercial Department:

A staggering 30% (approx) of current United season ticket holders will not renew next year. Of this percentage, 80% are season ticket holders of 5 years or more.
Many supporters have stated that the the CL final will be the last match they will attend under the current ownership.

This news has stunned the club since this season has been so successful. United commissioned a survey and found the reasons to be the following:

1) Ownership - inc debt repayments and secrecy. Longer term season ticket holders are especially "fed up" with this on-going situation
2) Forced purchase of cup tie tickets
3) Lack of investment in squad compared to turnover
4) Match-day experience - Lack of atmosphere at many OT games. Many die-hard vocal supporters have left in the past 5 years, replaced by less vociferous fans.
5) More atmosphere in pubs and clubs - cheaper option

Other recurring themes were:

Supporters regard David Gill's presentation of United's net transfer spend to football governance review as highly suspicious (see 1 above).
Secrecy around PIK re-payments funding
Supporters lack of Job Security/disposable income
Players wages (Rooney's contract process)
Travel costs

United will still advertise that there is a waiting list for tickets, and will not fall foul of trade descriptions as there is a waiting list for the more sort after, prime location seats.

United are finalising a deal for David De Gea today, expected to be around £16million. It won't be announced till June though, as is United's respect of other clubs in transfer dealings.

Also coming in are:

Sneijder-Deal has been agreed and personal terms are proving tricky but should be sorted come mid-June. Deal expected to be in excess of £25million.

Sanchez-Sir Alex remains keen as ever to bring him in but knows City are interested. he would be disappointed to miss out though so may be prepared to spend big. Ashley Young deal is progressing alongside the Sanchez one, with the idea that if City nick Sanchez then Sir Alex still gets the wide player he wants.

A striker is an possibilty with Benzema looking possible, but this hinges on any offers coming in for Berbatov who Sir Alex is looking to offload but is not desperate to do so.

everyone is talking about sanchez but i think if we are to sign a young winger then we'd want a left footed one, my picks would be one of james rodriguez, lewis holtby or marko marin. All i think would be a good fit with our current team. Opinions?

Hi further update to my post this morning - it is another prem league club that have given pre-permission to talk to a player so I guess that could be Modric or Rodwell or even dare I say Adam. Ed007 stop screaming . Didn't think a European club would be so helpful and they will all be waiting for City to go in for their players won't they-Nico.

Fabregas or nasri

Uniteds only hope in CL final is to get an early goal, they need to score within the first 5 mins or it will be all over by half time.

i can see united buying 3 players but not sneijder or young or sanchez, can see david de gea being bought, can't see any strikers being bought i think fergie will be buying for left wing and central midfield to cover giggs and scholes, possibly charlie adam not sure about left wing but i don't think young as i think liverpool will get him. i don't understand why man united want rid of berba after he has scored 20 goals and he hasnt hardly played lol ur best striker and hes hardly played

Yea 30mil sub who don't fit way we play gettin old price fallin
Can't see why they think about sellin the lazy xxx

Benzema said he didn't want to leave Real/Mad the other day, now Real/Mad want him out and the bad news is we are the only club sniffing around him.

Fergie is like a dog with a bone when he likes a player so he obvioulsy wants him still.

Great, we won the league not coz we had the best squad but because we had the best Team Spirit, we don't need this idiot to upset that. Hes meant to be worse than Balotelli and some days won't even speak to his Team-mates. Whats SAF on?-MickM.

Hi guys - rumblings about Adam again I'm afraid- I live on the Fylde Coast and was happy for the last 2 wks coz all about Adam said he wants LFC and they wanted him - now it appears he is due a chat with SAF week after the C/L final. Should we all pray now? -this better not be SAF's"" let me support Scottsh Football again campaign- seriously this guy was gettin p'd up with his mates in Poulton on Sat night and in Lytham on Sunday night- what a joke- whoever buys him-hopefully not UTD are going to have to spend all summer getting the guy half-fit coz he just isn't- I'm hoping for Modric/ Sneijder and if we get Adam/Benzema I won't be best pleased- And Morrison has been given more chances that a young lad should be given- needs kicking out the club and to do a stretch that's what he deserves.-Marcus.

here to win trophies but I've been here for five
years and won nothing. Until Arsenal stop
throwing away silly points in stupid games nothing
will change.". . denilson on arsenal. .lol. feeling schadenfreude over this.

On a serious note, De Gea and Sanchez deals are close to being done. And one of sneijder or pastore or modric (dont know anything concrete on the last one though) to be signed.

I was told that United would have THREE youngsters wrapped up before the season tickets go out on sale. I posted this a few months ago if anyone can remember? Well United could have De Gea & Varane sewn up in the next couple of weeks. If that information was correct, then who is the third youngster? Rodwell? Henderson? AOC? Morata? Canales? Iturbe?
