my brother works as security at old trafford and he saw ian holloway and charlie adam going in saf office tonite only what my brother told me so don't shoot the messenger

@whilst I don't mean to shoot u down as such, I was at the game today and as I came out I saw Charlie Adam having his photo taken with some Blackpool fans outside his team bus. He looked gutted not that it's important but other players were there such as Gary Taylor-fletcher and the rest were already on the bus. I also saw Adam get on the bus to join his teammates before I left. Now unless he got back off the bus to have the meeting with fergie I don't think such a meeting took place as he will have been on his way back to Blackpool with his teammates.

Fred {Ed007's Note - Thank you Fred, you have NO idea what that answer means to me}

I believe the varane rumours are false as we have many centre backs : smalling vidic and ferdinand oshea etc. . there is no point splashing out money on a centre back that will not replace vidic and rio's position, however we will be defently buying a keeper, stecklenburg or de gea? you tell me. we will need a new central midfield player such as de rossi or sneijder but fergey has hinted he won't be buying a centre mid : ' scholes stay for another year' . .

Man Utd are should be closing in Javier Pastore and Alexis Sanchez also David De Gea deal almost done. Addition to that the should get Macheda and Wellback back. Hargreaves, Scholes, Van Der Sar, Bebe, Oberton, Brown, Fletcher, Gibson, owen should all leave. in addition to that midfield Wesley Snijder.

Summer 2011 ins and outs:

INS:

De Gea - £17 million.
Raphael Varane - £4 million.
Jose Enrique - £12 million.
Alexis Sanchez - £25 million.
Danielle De Rossi - £14 million.

Spent: £72 million.

OUTS:

Edwin Van der Sar - retire.
Paul Scholes - retire.
Owen Hargreaves - released.
Michael Owen - released.
Federico Macheda - £6 million.
Gabriel Obertan - £4 million.

Total spent with sales: £64 million.

This may seem a bit far, but he has said we need rebuilding, and all of these players would be great! The new generation of United stars. Wouldn't be surprised to see Klose brough in, experienced head up front. If Berbatov leaves for about £15 million then Benzema could come in for £25 million to replace him. .very much hope so!

Who agrees? Ed whats your thoughts?

De Gea deal will be announced in June as is widely known/expected.

News on Sneijder has gone very quiet, not because United's interest has gone down, but beacause the deal has stalled slightly at the player's wage demands. This will be resolved after the Champions League final, however.

Expect either Sanchez or Benzema to be brought in (or possibly both). It is very difficult to tell what is just paper talk and what is concrete interest, but it is widely known that Sir Alex admires both these players, and he feels the time is right to bring them to United.

Ferguson will actually be making more than three signings, it is just that Sir Alex does not consider the 'young players' that he often signs as true signings as prefers to give them a season in the reserves. So the summer transfer haul will most likely be four or even five.

harry redknapp on signing brad friedel; " "He's a very good keeper, but there are a few clubs in for him. Liverpool are in for him, West Brom too. It's interesting. We'll have to see where we go."

why on earth would liverpool be interested in signing an older, less reliable keeper unless reina was on his way? might be clutching at straws but would be a strange move for friedel to make with reina still there.

also, really hope hargo can get fit again and sign for maybe qpr or swansea? top lad - hope he gets to say goodbye before the game. {Ed007's Note - LFC are interested in Friedel, he will be Reinas understudy and take on coaching duties}

If manchester united sign sneijder, he would have to drop alot deeper than where he likes and rooney would have to push up the field alot more.
And sneijder will need a tough takling energetic defensive midfielder to protect him in the midfield, and even though fletcher is good, I don't think he is good enough. someone like de jong would be a preffered choice.

so will alex splash the cash to suit one player. not sure. depends who leave n who retires. de gea, and varane are certs. but still can't put my finger on another definite buy.

winger? naa, we got tony n nani, n park
stiker? maybe as berbatov may be sold (rumour has it that juventus are lining up a 15 mil bid)
Midfielder? probably as not enough quality in midfield if scholes leaves

Looks like this is the end of Hargreaves career with United. Really sad that he couldn't overcome this. I hope he can resurrect his career somewhere else.

Rumour has it that SAF could bid for Arjen Robben to partner Wesley Sneijder. Another surprising signing ??

The Hulk rumours are nonsense! Porto only just bought more of the players economical rights and he signed a new deal! If he does leave it won't be for a while and it will be for more money than we can afford!
Aguero to Madrid, Adam to Liverpool (as I advised in Jan after my gf's convo with the player) and fingers crossed we don't pick Young up!
I would love Snidjer, but I can't see it myself. he loves the limelight and his Mrs seems to enjoy Milan.
Fingers crossed on Sanchez but I doubt that also.
Bale might be a cheeky one (just hope!)

Jamie

"21 May 2011 19:36:14
A player who has seemed to drop off the radar as far as this site is concerned is HULK. . . .but a friend who lives in Lisbon has been telling me that there are rumours that Utd are looking very closely at Hulk.

I'd be very happy to see him in a Utd shirt! Has looked a quality player for years and I think he would fit in very well at Utd."

Signed. New. 5. Year. Contract. Past. Few. Days. Please. Keep. Up. Thanks.
