I know its the Sun, but Neil Custis insists United are STILL in for Sneijder and the deal will go through.. so he tells Talksport radio

If it is in the SUN it MUST be true.

Andy Coulson says so

You better hope that Sneijder deal wrapped up soon coz Plan B is KAKA and I know who I would prefer.

Wont be getting sneijder and nobody in their right mind would go for kaka now, far to injury prone but i do think there will be a major signing before the window shuts

No chance of kakka to old to knackered too expensive

Pardoe

You better tell SAF then coz he rates the guy and at 28/29 for a Midfielder still not too old.

why our so many of our fans so against signing jelavic hes a good player he scores ( 14 in the last 16 ) :) he is good in the air and feet he is strong has some pace and links up well and works for the team he is a cheaper and more team orientated version of berbaflop

Yeah but it is the scottish league which is poor i mean celtic had the top scorer hooper in the league yet he was an average striker in league 1 so i doubt jelavic will be a good signing
THE HEMMINATOR

Before he signed for rangers he was playing in europa league and looked solid and he looks solid in internationals remember rangers are an average team so the supply isnt the best but you have to admit it would be better to free up berbas wage at his age and jelavic on our bench i think would be really affective especially with the wingers we have

Why are so many of our fans against Berbatov, despite not getting played much last season he was still top scorer in the league yet everyone still loves Rooney despite him saying he wanted t leave and having a lousy season. Berbatovs style of play is lazy because it works for him surely you can see he plays better when he cruises around yet when he runs around putting in load s of effort nothing comes of it. Wake up

I think you need to wake up how effective is he in big games hes cores 5 against black burn and 1 in how many years in europe get real mate his wage is silly for someone on the bench and we are going for pace not lazy selfish flops {Ed007's Note - Why are you answering your own post?}

Why do rangers supporters think any of their players are on par with any top club. Jelavic and McGregor is all you talk about and you try linking them with big clubs like United to make yourselves look good. They are good players in a terrible league playing for a poor rangers team which struggled to win the league against a crap Celtic team that have 7 strikers in their starting 11. He is nowhere hear the quality of berbatov and I don't like berbatov.

He played in Austria, in Austria he was the 2nd best striker behind Marc Janko, so sign Marc ;-)

I think its the usual "he's not abig name so he's not good enough" snobbery that's a total load of crap.

Some fans look down on the Scottish league and yes its true its inferior to the premier league.

But OGS came from the Norwegian league and that's inferior as well and he scored a hatfull.

And Ruud from the Dutch league and thats not as good either.

And i doubt the Mexican league is that good either and Hernandez still enjoyed a good season.

So why shouldn't Jelavic? He's already acclimitised after all and he managed to survive a season on Scotland.

I'm not saying we should sign the guy just that look at things abit more.

He could do a job maybe, given the chance. People are quick to say sell the Berb but never offer up replacements. Here's a suggestion.

How can u say berba isnt a quality striker? any1 remember the liverpool game, blackburn or the blackpool an bolton game its great criticising a player that played out of his skin the first half of the season when rooney was playing absolute s**t. i have more time for berbatov than rooney who's a greedy scouser with no loyalty to the club unlees he gets more money. berbatov never compained and got on with it

He may be a cheaper option but there are others I would prefer. Someone like Podolski or Rondon who would both probably be around 10-15m would be my picks. Only if Berbatov leaves though because if he does he will most likely be sold for around 10-12m meaning we aren't spending much more on a replacement.

Jesus christ. Did none of you watch the champions league final, or in fact the FA Cup semi final. Simply, Berbatov is not good enough for the big stage with pressure on, how about Rome, Wembley last season ? As for Jelavic, we are trying to win the European Cup, not the f***ing Europa League and Barcleona are the team to beat. Get your heads out of your a**eholes and aim big, we are Manchester United after all and not f***ing Raith Rovers, how about Eto or whoever the greatest striker on the planet is right now. News flash, Barcelona not interested in Jelly Bits or whatever his f***ing name is.

Could Utd be set to swoop for Jelavic and Izzaguire? to my understanding we will try to aquire them in January if they have good seasons with Rangers and Celtic. Jelavic has stated he would happily move and Izzaguire has confirmed contact. We do need a new Left back with Evras age and Fabio pursuing a career in right back.

Start of the Scottish season and the rangers game is boring u already so u make u silly rumours 2 brighten your day Both players trying 2 engineer a move or a pay rise

Jelavic and izzaguire are good players and would bolster our squad
