I've always admired Robin Van Persie great player pity about the injuries well SAF is looking to buy him £30m as a replacement for outgoing Macheda and Berbatov and Welbeck on loan

Any thoughts Ed?

{Ed019's Note - Not a chance for 30 million I'd say, Arsenal unlikely to sell and as you say he generally misses about half a season through injury. Aside from that he is a fantastic player though

SSN reporting Alexis Sanchez real close to finalising Barca move, for a deal close to £45m including player and other variables. So please stop the "we still have a chance". Will be interesting to see if they still move for Fabregas or Rossi???

{Ed019's Note - Rossi's agent seems to think they've dropped their interest in him while Rossell has said they won't offer as much for Fabergas this season as they did last season (35 million I believe)

In the history of transfers at OT we either go all in after someone ie nistelrooy, yorke, Rooney, Ferdinand and make sure we get them or we go under the radar ie smalling, chicarito, Obertan, bebe.

With that in mind i think realistic targets are:
Rodwell, Snjieder, detour could be possibilities and others like:
Marvin Martin, witsel, wickham, lukaku, catermole, as surprise buys.

"Berbatov and Nani to Inter While Eto And Sneijder Coming the other way with £40 mil going aswell"

@So Berbatov (£15m) + Nani (£30m) + £40m cash for Sneijder who valued at (£30m) & Eto'o who is valued at (£15m). Don't you think we are over paying by giving them £40m cash?

I highly doubt Sneijder or Eto'o are on our list. Eto'o is past it. And Sneijder is approaching a dangerous age IMO. Players like J.Cole, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Maicon, Fabiano, Henry, Kaka and many more have dwindled out into mediocrity. They certainly all past their peaks around 27. I think paying £30m for a 27 year old is not wise, especially a player that is an engine in midfield who runs many miles in each game.

£30m fee plus 52m for wages is a massive gamble. Especially when it's possible we may have already seen the best of Sneidjer. If we are willing to pay those sums of money, then why not bid £25m for Goetze (19) and £25m for Hazard (20) and offer them modest wages of around 70k a week.

ED's did psg make an offical offer for berbatov or is it just a rumour

{Ed019's Note - it's just a rumour at the moment, no substantial evidence of a bid as of yet. However PSG were recently taken over so I wouldn't be surprised if they made an offer, I would hope we could get a pretty decent sum though considering they supposedly have money to burn.

All this speculation about Hazard is interesting, he'd be a great purchase but I think ed is right - Lille won't sell this year and he also doesn't do a lot of defensive work (which is one the of the things that really annoyed me about Nani, not getting back..).

I think we've still got a huge chance of signing Sanchez if SAF wants him enough.

But we only need one more midfielder really, with Young hopefully signing. Somebody said on here that Anderson, Carick and Fletcher aren't good enough for Europe. I agree with that for the first two perhaps but Fletcher is one of our best players. It's a real shame he's missed the champions league final two years running - i'm not saying it would've changed the result but that's a totally different game with Fletcher chasing up Xavi and Iniesta everytime they got the ball. De rossi would be perfect, what do you think Ed?

{Ed019's Note - I think Fletcher may have made a difference the first year but he never reached his peak last year. Hopefully this coming year he will get back to that form and he might possibly make some sort of difference, however we'll need more than Fletcher to beat this current Barca team. I've never been particularly impressed by De Rossi but plenty of people seem to rate him so maybe I just see all the wrong matches, personally I'd love M'Villa but he just signed a new contrat so I can't see it happening for the moment.

some people say they'd like to see neymar at united but he's not worth 40million but they think he might be worth it in two years but if he's gonna be worth it in two years every will want him and we'll miss out.so pay up now SAF.what do you think EDS?

{Ed019's Note - I think 40 million is too much at the moment, he's extremely temperamental and can be extremely annoying with his diving and moaning. The jury's still out whether he will become the next Ronaldo or the next Robinho. Plus I think Real Madrid can match any bid United make and I suspect they'd be his preferred destination.

Valbuena and Montolivo still have 6 years in them both should be available for around £15mill each then spend 20 - 30 mil on another striker bye bye berbatov.

We just have to be realistic. No one is better than Xavi Inesta and Messi.

David Villa has no sell on Value at 29 so will fergie gamble on him??????

If barcalon do not by fabregas this season i cant see him going next either unless they get huge cash injection as puyol be past it and abidal has already refused to sign new contract they will be after top defender????

Cheeky fab bid I think!!

Alot of speculation around Eden Hazard would love to see him at OT
Still think we will get Sanchez and possibly another m/f with experience Diarra maybe!!
Hazard is a must tho! what you think ed? {Ed019's Note - Hazard is an immense talent, however if Lille were prepared to let him go I would imagine most of the big teams in the world would do their utmost to sign him. I reckon all the teams will have to wait until next season to sign him up though.

Believable10 Unbelievable5

21 Jun 2011 19:48:44
If we get Young i think we have enough wingers in the team.
Carrick, Fletcher and Andersdon are fine for the Premier League but noy good enough for Europe. We need two ball playing midfielders. I suggest Hazard and Martinez, two young quality players who will only get better!

Your thoughts on this Ed please? {Ed019's Note - I wouldn't class Hazard as a midfielder, maybe at the top of a midfield three but even then he puts in too little work defensively, Martinez would be a great signing but he has a long term contract so I can't see him going for the moment. I reckon Anderson will have the season every United fan has been waiting for next year and hopefully Fergie will buy a partner for him before the end of this window.

Lens president Gervais Martel has rejected £9million bids for defender Raphael Varane believed to be from Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris St Germain.

The 18-year-old has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs after impressing in his breakthrough season in Ligue 1.

Martel insists the asking price for Varane has been met but is apparently unwilling to sell the French U21 international to 'certain big overseas clubs'.

He wants Varane to move to a club that will aid in his development as a player and not just be stuck on the bench.

This could rule out United, who have an abundance of riches in defence after signing Phil Jones from Blackburn Rovers, along with Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans.

"Paris St Germain have made me an offer, that is probably the worst kept secret around, " Martel told RMC radio station.

"A second club is also interested in him, but he isn't necessarily guaranteed first-team football there either. The asking price is around 10million euros (£8.9million).

"Certain big overseas club have offered more, but I quickly shut the door on them!

"We are on the same wavelength as the player, it's all a question of timing. I don't think we are too far from finding a solution."

Berbatov to PSG for £12m rumors getting louder. They have apparently lodged an official bid which we are considering.

If we're going to sell him now must surely be the time to do it (31 in January, off the back of a good season, one year left on his contract). Would his departure see us signing a top quality striker? Personally I can't see how it couldn't!

Udinese saying Sanchez deal to Barca is 80% done,
Which means it's time for us to look at alternatives.
Personally think we should go for Lavezzi, quality
Player, who's had an average season but is the real
Deal & cheaper. CM? Diarra as holding or Martinez
(think that's his name Spanish U21 capt). He won't
Be cheap but now's the time to buy him. What a
Player he will be & is. Still think we need a right back,
For me jury's out on the twins at the moment. CAM?
Gotta be Schneider, if not we should be going for
Douglas Costa. As I've said we have Young, De Gea
& Jones in the bag, usually when we sign a few SAF
says we won't sign anymore in this window. But he
& Gill have both said we will be busier than usual this
Summer, so United fans be patient. We will sign a
Couple of gems IMO. They will have plans & plan B's
If players like Sanchez choose elsewhere.

Alex really needs to get some quality signings in this year so far so good, Phil Jones is an exellent prospect, played really well last season in his first Premier league campaign, Ashley young should be interesting, plenty of pace , should fit in well with Rooney and hernandez, But we need to look at the centre..we could do with a quality holding player someone like Alonso ..and a good creative midfielder like modric/Pastore ..Berbatov ? maybe he should be sold and some younger talented striker could be brought in to freshin things up

"now that it is becoming clear that guus hiddink isnt goin to be the next chelsea manager it should also come to light that sneijder will join united instead of chelsea, hiddink was apparently the main reason he would choose chelsea but as i have been sayin for over a month, its old trafford where he wants to play and SAF is confident he as already got his signature and is already looking at a defensive midfield partner to accompany him, and former liverpool nd now real madrid player alonso is his ideal choice, mark my words, watch this space, read my lips, not been wrong yet!!

Although apparently Hiddink is in for the director of football job at Stamford Bridge so his influence would still be around if that were a keystone in the sneijder deal no?
