Cross Bale of the list he's signing a new contract.

Falcao, However is leaving Athletico Madrid been confirmed by the club, let the rumour mill start up again.

Andyp MUFC

Falcao has said himself he is not leaving and monaco rumor have no ground as if it was for financial reasons why wouldn't he go to psg, man city or chelsea who have already established a firm competitive base and monaco have seemed to stall somewhat!
Jam

Everyone knows Falcao will leave this summer, where to is the question. United are not in the running.

Sydney!

I'd be surprised if its not City

Melwing28

Could this not be that, IF United did give AM money for first refusal on Falcao, it was because that they knew Rooney would be leaving this summer?

I don't think we have first refusal on Falcao. Not at all. Think we've paid a fee to be kept aware if developments and be allowed to match terms of any bid before its a done deal. If Monaco agree a £60m fee tomorrow we could agree same figure with Athletico and be allowed to discuss personal terms with the player at same time as them.

Ed what are the chances of United signing Marchisio? he'd be perfect for us!

Nat {Ed004's Note - I think very unlikely}

Ed do u think ronaldo will go chelsea {Ed004's Note - No}

Don't think Ronaldo would come back to the Prem unless to us.

20 May 2013 16:55:36
Ed's do you think that we will sign either Ronaldo or lewandowski in the summer?
Thanks, Adam {Ed004's Note - Possibly Lewandowski don't think we will go for Ronaldo. Well not this year anyways}

Bale signed new one year deal

Its a extension to the 5 he signed last year you think we would let him go for free

Bale looked fed up yesterday u watch rooney stay
when Bale signs for us in July!!


Bfro

LOL.

Rooney is being nudged out, the club are not begging him to stay.

Sydney!

The only way we would have any chance of signing bale is if rooney was to leave. We would need his transfer fee an savings on his wage to be able to entice spurs to make a deal happen. But i'm sure levi won't deal wit us again unless we give in to his lotto numbers in which he expects for the likes of bale. He should put in a request to leave it would still be very expensive but what a catch

CAIN {Ed004's Note - My issue with signing bale is depending on transfers we need a left back, 2 centre mids and atleast one forward player possibly 2 if Rooney leaves. So Bale would take a massive amount of the budget. Though Rooney, Nani, Anderson, Evra and Young IMO would raise a good amount}

Bale wasnt fed up, he was gutted! He will NOT be joining united! There are four factors why he will not join! 1, if he goes its to madrid 2, he doesn't want to leave 3avb doesn't want him to leave & 4 levy won't sell him!

Ed004 I can't see Evra or Young going this summer and we'll be lucky to find anyone to buy Anderson {Ed004's Note - Unfortunately I agree}

I agree ed but if it became known tat he was to leave it would be foolish not to snatch him up. Midfeild needs sorting as does left back an if I had my way I would try get lewandowski baines bale strootman an bring in Powell to fill out tge Midfeild I know most peopke want to loan him out but the best experience is first team wit united not off the bench wit a championship side an I for one think he is up to the task

CAIN

Give Rooney to Tottenham, they can pay him the supposedly 170k a week that Bale's going to be offered in the mean time we pay a little extra, sign Bale. happy days. Spurs fans won't be too hard done by if they sign Rooney.

Ozwald {Ed004's Note - Would Rooney want to move to a side no competing in the Champions League though?}

I'm hoping Moyes will use the opportunity to clear out players who aren, 't up to utd standard. young, nani, Anderson, macheda, bebe, Fabio, valencia, lindegaard.


I agree with ed 004 in that we need to buy a left back and two midfielders, but also two wingers.

for me, cleverley, evra, rooney and well beck have one more year to prove they can still play to the standard required at Manchester utd.

Andrew b {Ed004's Note - I disagree with Rooney and Evra also Valencia who I think deserves another season at the club}

I think Andrew is forgetting this is a squad game. If it wasn't for our deep squad we wouldn't have won the league this season.

Sydney!

Rooney's already in a snit as he lost his place upfront to van persie and in the hole to kagawa. If and its a massive if we signed bale that's another position for rooney blocked. What would we do stick him at left back? Agree Ed we need about four to six players in but its too much all in one summer both financially and in terms of disrupting the team. I think it'll be half now and half next summer. So what do you prioritise? MrE {Ed004's Note - One left back, one midfielder and Rooney's replacement and maybe one more signing. I'd love Baines, Strootman, Bale and one of Bender/Gundogan, Sanchez/Isco or Lewandowski (Only if Hernandez leaves)}

I think the Rooney situation will be sorted out before the transfer window re-opens and I hope he changes his mind there is no better place for him to play and I am shore we will sign Bale early on in the summer along with Felliani Baines and Zaha already signed if we get these three in we will have a much better team than this year on paper anyway. Felliani the midfield general we have needed Bale will be in the top three players in world football for years to come can't think of anyone I would prefer than Bale Felliani and Baines they all tick the boxes and will greatly improve us were we need it. Katef

No winger ed? As we don't have a single top quality winger I'd prioritize that over even cm, as we at least have Carrick there, with clevs coming on nicely.

Let Nani and tony go, young as backup, Zaha to get some time rotating to keep players fresh and bring in 2 wingers, that would do nicely. Add a cm or two, and either keep Rooney or get a replacement (i'd keep personally), we're in business.

Thorne

Who the hell is this Spurs fan that keeps commenting on any Bale related post here? Stop worrying you can't do anything about it, whether he joins us or not. The fact you feel the need to consistently come on here to say he isn't moving shows you're obviously insecure about the whole thing. Stick to the spurs page.

Dan

Why would he stay because of another signing. He said the club lacked ambition the last time he wanted to go. We got the best striker in England to join us so it is not ambition that we lack. He needs a new challenge and I feel we need to let him go. We spend a lot on his wages and I don't feel that can be justified anymore. If we can get a good price for him then use the money to attempt a big signing ie Bale. Sadly Rooney is not the player he once was if only he was more like Giggs we would still have a gem.

{Ed004's Note - Would Rooney want to move to a side no competing in the Champions League though?}Why not? If he dosn't sort himself out he won't be playing in the Champions League even if he stays {Ed004's Note - The man appears to have a big ego and high opinion of himself so I honestly can't see him not wanting to play against the best}

Kate, your naivety is frightening. You could be a very disappointed fan come September.

Sydney!

Could be syd but she is takin a stab at what will happen an in fairness she has good points so if she is right I hope you say sorry because what she is saying is a realistic outcome like it or not

CAIN

CAIN, so you think Bale is realistic do you?

Sydney!

Cain off emmedale

30m + Rooney?

Ed004, it seems that Rooney is more annoyed that he has to put 100% in to get in the team, he wants the transfer because he's been subbed in most of the games in the second part of the season because quite frankly he's lacked fitness and motivation.

I know he won't actually go to Spurs but I hope that if he doesn't see sense, doesn't sort himself out and we do sell him, that the money is spent on Bale because he is without a doubt the most dangerous player in the Prem. Mata is fantastic, obviously we know RvP is dangerous, Hazard is individually great too but Bale is the one player that can consistently create something out of nothing. IMO he should be our top target this summer.

Ozwald {Ed004's Note - I agree Bale is a fantastic player but I can't help but think the money could be spent better. For example the cost of Bale would near enough buy you Di Maria, Isco/Sanchez and Gundogan.}

Typical utd your not playing football manager on the xbox besides he says one day he would like to play abroad

I think we will see Sydney remember when I told you it would be Moyes and not Jose like you were saying it would be. All the signings I have said have plenty of real facts behind them like Baines and felliani already worked for Moyes and Bale will be our big signing I think more likely him than Ronaldo anyway let's see before ya start calling people names Katef

Lets see Sydney you been saying Lewendowski and Di Maria I have been saying Bale Baines and Felliani let's see who gets things right. Katef

Kate, I have have been saying Lewandowski and more recently Di Maria because we have a huge interest in both. We had huge interest in Baines last season (hope we still do). I have said it's highly likely Fellaini will be of interest to Moyes and wouldn't be surprised to see interest shift from Strootman to Fellaini. The player I think you are dreaming about is Bale. I do not think we will go for Bale as we have shown no interest.

Sydney!

Kate, calling you names? I wouldn't dream of it ;)

I never believed Jose would be the next manager, I thought it would be Pep and it may well have been if he never decided to join BM.

Sydney!

I hope my predictions on the transfers are correct and not dreams we would be a much stronger team with Bale than Lewandowski who is very good but not as good as RvP Bale is better than anything outside Messi and Ronnie and younger than both, he is the right player to go for no matter the cost and I think we have the cash for him Baines and Felliani so explain how its naïve to think we would go for a player of his calibre we are UNITED and we do things our way the right way was it in your opinon that I was being naïve when I said months ago it would be Moyes or just good old common sense. Katef

Rooney is obviously having trouble realizing which side his bread is buttered.
