{Ed002's Note - Syd, an update on Gaitan. As of yesterday there has been no financial agreement for Gaitan and no agreement for a transfer. There has been no discussion with the player or his agents but both Manchester United and PSG have discussed a possible transfer with Benfica.}

Thanks Ed002, so the 29.3mil rumour was BS too. They'd do anything to sell papers these days.

REDFAITH {Ed002's Note - £29.3M eaquates to 35M euro, so it is just BS.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Ed002, I didn't think anymore than that had happened. I cannot see United paying £30m for him so perhaps the talks stalled and United have moved on? Thanks again Ed.

Sydney!

Gaitan is a smokescreen, I'm sure of it. Could be wrong...............

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if we didn't sign anyone, playing good football once again and we don't even have the creative cleverley + anderson combination.

any chanecs of united signing christian eriksen in january ? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan have shown an interest in Eriksen. He has already rejected both Manchester City and Chelsea but AC Milan remain the most interested club. Back in mid July someone from the Milan Press Office said he had heard of interest from Manchester United - but I am not aware of any confirmation of that interest. I doubt that January is an option for a move, but perhaps the summer. The player has expressed an interest to move to Spain.}

Well Rene Muelensteen admitted the other day that United were 'keeping a close eye on him'. He, himself said that his preferred destination would be Barcelona, at the end of the day that can never mean too much..

Darron Gibson's preferred choice might be Barcelona, but it remains an unlikely prospect.

Eriksen wont leave Ajax in January and if hedoes it wont be to an english team, He is not suited to the english game because of his build. he would definetly be more suited to the spanish game.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well, thats what they said about David Silva.. We all know what happened then..

Agree0 Disagree0

And i guess messi is not built for the english game? He still run corners round us in CL final.. Ronaldo looked not suited for england but he too was fantastic here.. But he might be a good example as he is a bit "better" down there.. But goes to show if you make it here you make it anywhere! {Ed007's Note - I think Messi would struggle in the EPL. A cold freezing night in darkest Stoke/Bolton (no offence), getting kicked, pushed and pulled all over the place, would he fancy it?}

United again being linked to Patricio Rodriquez at Independiente. Seen a few videos on youtube of him and he looks on hell of a player. Could be United's David Silva or even the new Ronaldo.

What do you think Ed? Worth the reported 15million fee? {Ed007's Note - I have no idea. It's not wise to judge players by Youtube.}

Believable5 Unbelievable9

I've seen the clips too and he looks decent, comfortable on the ball, quick and good with both feet, knows where the net is as well. Although ED is right and we shouldn't judge by YouTube it gives a good indication of him but what should tell us he's decent is SAF has sent scouts on 6 occasions so we must be keen!
My only concern is he is more a winger and we have also been linked with Gaitan today which seems quite possible a deal will go through! Does anyone know if these two can do a job in CM?

Ok found a vid that is not on You Tube... still looks a hell of a player...

have been told from mate that chelsea have wrapped up a 7.8m deal for cahill, my mate is an estate agent in london and although cahill is not his or his companies client it is rumoured he is looking for a place so unless he is off to arsenal there could be some truth in this rumour
he also claims chelsea want rodwell and would be willing to offer a player plus cash, however i think that given SAFs relationship with the lad may mean we are still favourites to sign him

Would like to say that i did not read this in the mirror, the fact it is on bbc sports news is honestly just a coincidence

Could be spurs
DB

If anyone sign's Rodwell it will be United (Chelsea stories in paper's today are, well made up). Don't think he'll move in Jan. Also Cahill could very well go to spurs...............
