Has there been any interest from United in Zenit left-back Criscito? He's a good player and if United are serious about getting a replacement for Evra I think he should be up for consideration.

I doubt we would touch him after his match fixing trouble. Better options available anyways

=v1=

Think he's under investigation for match fixing, am I right ed's?, not the best role model for the youngsters and it doesn't give the club a good image, good player but I'd stay away, of course ocould be mistaken?.

Stop playing football manager! Criscito is nowhere near good enough

Criscito is Italy's #1 fullback and can also play centre-half. You don't need to play Football Manager to tell that this guy is good. But under the match-fixing circumstances I agree it is unlikely United will make a bid.

If the report on skysports is true about Man Utd having a rejected bid from Porto for Rodriguez... gives me the idea that Nani may not have a future at our club anymore. Wonder what he must be thinking

fearny

Where does it say we have had a bid rejected?

Calvin

Or Nani could be kept and we would have 4 top wingers at the club. Greater depth in the squad too.

Mad Hatter

Couldn't see Nani staying if Rodriguez came... Could only see it as a replacement

fearny

Nani is on his way out.
Hopefully.


Halesini {Ed004's Note - You must have a personal vendetta against the man. I honestly can't remember any of your posts that haven't included him}

Rodriguez can play even as a striker.

ferdcoast

Could be a replacement for Giggs. Gives him one season to settle then when Giggs retires end of next season be ready to fully take over.

Nani will stay and provide cover/competition. As frustrating as he can be at times he is a good player and wants to stay and play for us.

Frictiondixon

Much rather spend a extra 10m to get Bale. Nani is worth over 30m IMO and 40m should get bale.

Where does it say United have had a bid rejected?

Don't Understand why people don't rate Nani!..he makes things happen and always a threat on goal. Some 'fans' need to get behind the team and appreciate the players we have rather than playing 'fantasy' football.

Well said just support our players rather than slate them or go back to fifa12 on your x box
redtonka

Nani is class , if anyone wants talent like him and the goals scored/created out of our club youre way off

Dustbin

Seriously......what is your beef withNani?;quite simply one of the best players at the club and yet so called 'fans' continue to berate him.Manchester United do not play their football on the X-box/playstation etc so please leave one of the best talents at the club a break;Cristiano didnt exactly ripup trees when he arrived and given an uninterrupted run in the team Nani will be a star..

'Cristiano didn'y exactly ripup trees when he arrived' Yeah that might be valid if Nani had just arrived but he's about to enter his 6th season! Saying that he is a good spark player even with his inconsintanseys.

Red Joe

Nani hasnt just arrived he,s been here 5 years

You guys have seen what! Rodriguez on YouTube and maybe 2 or 3 games if your lucky. You want to flog Nani for 30m and buy him, which won't leave a whole lot of change. Some of you say this than argue players like Chico and Cleverly are good players. The Mexican is awful and Cleverly is average , when he is fit, which isn't very often. So what happens when this 20 year old winger, from the land of the coco leaf, buzzes into old Trafford and is inconsistent, because no one know if he is , or not because he's only had one good year, in a not very good league. Scream like little girls and say, he's inconsistent, lets but a "marquee player", they look great on YouTube and only cost 50m. So the idea is to keep the dross and sell the jewels, then spend all the money on a winger, when our midfield has more holes in it, than a jumper after a battle with moths. Jesus, we should come to an agreement with Nani, one of our last creative players and spend where we need to spend. Please get real keep whats good and replace the midfield dross, like Anderson, Cleverley and old boys like Scholes and Giggs, Gods in the past, but old as a black and white movie now. I sometimes think half the posters on here don't even support, let alone love United.I am seriously happy that SAF doesn't write on hear, or read on hear. We must buy midfielders and keep Nani.
Mik

Good news!!

Also people who keep mentioning FIFA and Xbox, nani is much better on Fifa than in real life so that argument doesn't really work!

Nani proved yet again how frustrating he can be in the quarter final last night. His decision making was terrible and he s demanding to be in the the top pay bracket at the club. The greedy f00ker. Does he not earn enough

If i got offered 30 million pounds for Nani i would rip there hands off. Yes theres no doubt that Nani is a talented footballer but he is far to inconsistent and so fustrating in far to many games.
For me he has become even more inconsistent over the past two years.
I have to say the post about Ronaldo not ripping up trees mad me giggle, Nani is entering his 6th season with Man United.

Simmo

Yeah, he's been here years, but he's still improving steadily each season.

Ok, most days he's effectively a good squad player, but on his good days he is one of the best wingers in the world.

Thorne

Simmo - if someone offers £15m for Nani we should take it!

Halesini

Why would somebody offer 15 million, can you answer me?
And the answer if that was true would be no i wouldn't except 15 million.

I've got news on Alba,first,to let you know I'm from Dominican Republic(eds can confirm) and we speak spanish,I read this spanish website everyday,Mercafutbol,and they're reporting today that Manuel Llorente,Valencia's president is indignant after Barca bought 2 of their youth pearls. To Marca, he said: "They will pay this dearly", he added: "Barca broke the ethic code between clubs" "It's not understood that a club with such economic potencial dedicates to sign 12 y/o kids"

RedDevilGirl {Ed004's Note - I can confirm the location is in the Dominican Republic}

Hopefully he sign for us then just what we need

Even then, it is highly likely that he will be signed by Barca, me thinks. If he wants to hold down a regular place in the Spanish National Team, he will want to remain in Spain.

I will be glad if we can buy him, but I don't think we will have a great chance for Spanish players if Barca/Madrid are also after them.

Championship Club Brighton and Hove Albion have signed former Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak on a two-year deal.

Good riddance

ed's are we in for thiago of barca? i hope so! {Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

So we could be in future weeks/months? {Ed004's Note - Yes nothing stopping us from becoming interested}

Ok I keep reading stories on this site about this kid and I'm probably wrong (and will feel really stupid) but Didn't he sign a new deal last year and has a massive buy out clause?

little bit of news i have heard is that both malaga and paris want sneijder. Malaga supposed to be offering straight cash whilst paris are offering cash plus players deal. Apparently moratti wants pastore involved in any deal. There may also be interest from City in our friend wesley as well.

It is never going to happen and would be a complete waste of money as we already have kagawa!!!

red joe

Sneijder can play deeper as cm as well you fool

De Rossi is saying he has offer from England according to SS.

He said: "I have received many offers from English football. And I must say that I feel attraction for it.

"I like English football very much. I think now it's probably more interesting than Italian football.

"There are lots of outstanding and talented players, as is the case for Spain as well."

Despite signing a 5 year deal earlier this year, he has said this ahead of the England match! I, for one, would love him. Kind of player we need in there but may (unfortunately, as I like him) be bad news for Carrick.

SB.

Why do people post their oppinions instead of valid rumours on a roumour site.....so you like De Rossi, i would like to see United buy Song, but as their no rumour regarding Song and United i dont post it....come one man post rumours and stop chatting about what you like......

Cape Town, SA {Ed004's Note - That can be classed as a rumour as due to the fact it says "I have received many offers from English football" the implication of that is that teams have been interested in him and whats to say Utd haven't been...}

Blimey, there have been some grumpy people on here lately. Chill out chaps.
Mr Q

Cheers Ed/Mr Q. This is a quote from the player himself (the SS stands for Sky Sports, just incase), not an opinion. I would suggest reading some the rags/watch the news rather than trolling.
My opinion of De Rossi is positive. He's a solid DM, gets stuck in and intimidates players. He is skillful and does have a sweet pass and shot.
As for Song, he wouldn't get into my team above Carrick.

Would have thought someone like De Rossi was just the kind of player Carrick would benefit from playing alongside.
Bad news for Fletcher, or Ando even.
You do know that Fergie loves Carrick, right?
Has already said he will be our main man in midfield for three or four years.

Bob

Carrick main man in our midfield for the next 4 or 5 years lol im sure fergie dont like him that much ffs

sparkyred

I'd love Di Rossi at United... He's done a great job even at centre half in the Euro's but for me he showed a Roy Keane Moment in the first game against Spain. Whilst the team was celebrating the goal against Spain Di Rossi ran up the pitch to give Ballotelli a bollocking about something he wasn't happy with. Something we came to see Roy Keane do time and time again. A true winner...! Fergie sign him up...!

He's also said Steven Gerrard is his idol and hero
So that links him to Liverpool aswell does it?

He has probably signed his last big contract there now. Don't see us buying a 28 yr old tied-down-with-5 yr-contract player.

Lewandowski...18 million
Sneijder...22-25 million
Jetro Willems - 8 million

Behave yourself!

Wow, so glad your not SAF.

Jetro willens was useless at the euros, he is hardly good enough. after watching the dutch go there and not even try, i would stay away.

sneijder isnt worth that much, Lewandowski is worth much more than that

Agree Willems is not good enough.
Lewandowski will not be joining, we will not buy a striker. At least not a big name striker. Have you been watching Welbeck at the Euro's?
Sneijder....it was inevitable i suppose. Lack of imagination on the part of the tabloids and everybody is lapping it up.

Possible 3 more signings depending on any developments at the club.

First will be the completed deal of Henriquez from Universidad de Chile for around an initial £3million.

Second will be the centre of the park. Modric was the main target but I believe he is off to Madrid. Two backups Utd will be looking at are Gago of Madrid and Thiago of Barcelona. Gago would be the cheaper option and more likely but both are very talented.

The third will be an unexpected signing in the way Fergie would have expected Nani to sign a new deal. If a deal cannot be agreed once he returns from Euro 2012 they will ship him out and replace him with James Rodriguez for around £23 million and Anderson.

fearny

Well we now know fearny can read papers,pretty sure we all can so bit of a waste really.
oz

I see your inside knowledge at work again fearny lol

Keep up the good work and thanks for reading all the papers for us.

Devil Dust.

I for one would be highly dissapointed if we signed gago, ifr we sign anyone from madrid it should be diarra. and if not him i think we should offer for toni kroos, outstanding young talent.

Gago?? Never made Madrid 1st team, loaned up last season to Roma with an option to buy which they have turned down and decided against. Something tells me this guy isn't that great!!
