The fact is the money would be there for that if it were not for a massive debt draining cash away. Doubtful the money is there, however if the Glazers want to convince us and Rooney then it is what we need to see.

@Wow, no wonder you are hard to please, the fact that both Torres & Cesc would never join United would make this impossible, Arsenal would never sell to us and they would cost around 120m between them. But i know what you are trying to say, you are saying if we hadn't wasted 450m on interest we could have a team like this?
My Buys would cost 30-35m|Lindegaard|Defour|Sanchez|
Toni_ Fletch_ Defour_ Nani
_ _ _ _ Sanchez
_ _ _ _ _ Rooney
This Six would punish any defense. Well as long as Valencia recovers well and Rooney finds his feet. This is what we need, a six that can break at frightening speed. And a solid Fletcher & Defour who can defend well, Valencia to back up the right back, this team could work. Sanchez can play either wing and in the centre so 16-21m would be a great price for the lightening fast 21 year old.

Manchester United Rumours
The following is a list of players who have been on SAF's radar for quite some time now and who IMO can take united back to where we belong:
1. GK - De gea/ Asenjo/ Lindegaard/ Neuer/ Buffon - De gea and Lindegaard are more probable but still, its an open battle.
2. Def - Lahm (he is the only missing link in our 1st team's defense); I know for a fact that united have also scouted Isla and that there are a couple of youngsters too but I think that in Smalling and the DaSilva twins we have decent cover. Plus do remember that we can always get Shawcross back. He is tested for the PL.
3. Midfield - Defour is a certainity. I know SAF will try for Sneijder but whether he'll join us or not that's another question. Afellay will be available for free in the summer but SAF might put in a cheeky bid in January to avoid the summer rush. Others that might be realistic targets are Ninis, Kroos, L.Diarra and Sanchez.
Also, J.Martinez, Ganso, Bale, Modric, Hazard, Hamsik, Pjanic, Mata and Pastore would cost a lot and hence might be unlikely, but who knows? But the guy whom I'd like to see at OT is Jovetic; sadly he picked up an injury in the summer. If we are looking for a left winger then Holtby might be a cheap and exciting option though I'm not sure whether united have ever scouted him.
3. Striker - the question is, do we really need one right now? We have enough cover for years to come but if we decide to sell Rooney somewhere down the line then the two likely candidates in the similar role are Suarez and Hulk (porto). We already have 7 strikers who can make it to the bench or the 1st team (and have already done that in the past) and a number of strikers pushing from the academy/reserves.
Those within the club are saying that there will be atleast 3 more signings before the next season.
The ideal signings would be- 1 out of the 5 goalkeepers, 2 midfielders (Defour + another top class midfielder) and Lahm. But all this would just be a fantasy unless the glazers are true to their word and give SAF a huge transfer chest. May that be a reality. Amen!

Defour_lindeguard_affelay_Llorente and im happy llorente would be perfect for us because hes great at headering is 1 reason we cross the ball alot could get us 20+ a season and an on form rooney would be fun :D
lindeguard would be cheap sign him in jan if he doesn't do well we would be able to sell him for more than we bought him for probably and then get de gea/neure
defour i would say would be a great signing looks very very good
affellay wait till summer get a top class player free :D
would also like lukaku/aguero/bale/sneijder but if we got them 4 above then we would need them anywaty still be nice to have them

@Fair play Red, but do you believe we will have a spend this Jan/Summer? If so who do you believe we should sign?
It would be easier if you had a name or a handle to answer.
Dont see much in January unless Defour is on the cards. Have to say I have seen nothing of him at all. However, when we do buy it needs to be quality that Madrid, Barca, Chelsea would also be interested in. No point in buying young talent which only might make it.
Do I believe we will have a spend was your first question. Yes but probably nowhere near enough is the likely answer. I believe that part of the Rooney discussion meant that the pressure on the Glazers meant more money was released to Fergie to spend.
A lot depends on Fergie's opinion on several young talents already there, but I am not talking about Welbeck or Macheda but the level below that, Keane, Morrison and Pogba.
I think we will spend but it will probably need a sale or two.
Who would I like to see, I don't usually do fantasy teams. Before anyone sends a criticism of these I am looking at it purely as what do I think is the quality needed to make us European champions.
1) Central midfield- Obvious one is Sneijder. One I would prefer (especially as Mascherano has gone to Barca) is Fabregas.
2) Striker to play with Rooney. Obvious one is Torres.
3) Left side midfield. As things stand, Bale
4) Keeper- Tough one as there are many decent keepers but no outstanding great ones. De Gea looks good, and as I have said before I believe another one at Athletico looked decent as well I think Asenjo.
We need to take the plunge and sell. It isn't going to make everyone happy but Carrick, Berbatov and Park need to make way. I feel this front 6 would have a chance.
Nani, Fabregas, Fletcher, Bale,
Rooney, Torres.
From what I hear Pogba has a chance so Fletch needs to play a little better than he has done so far this season. Now I await the criticism as is usual on here but please don't say we have no chance of signing any of them , I am just answering what level of player I would like to see. But like the choices or not it is the level of team we need to really challenge in Europe.
The fact is the money would be there for that if it were not for a massive debt draining cash away. Doubtful the money is there, however if the Glazers want to convince us and Rooney then it is what we need to see.

{Editor's Note: Cahill, Defour, Sanchez and Afelley seem possible. I expect Dzeko will go to Juve in the summer, Sneidjer to move elsewhere, Bale to stay at Spurs.}
@Completely agree Edders, Cahill's name is being mentioned a lot, i was kind of hoping to spend the money somewhere else but i guess you can never have too many Centre backs. Dzeko is dull, he would suit Italian footy great. Bale will certainly stay at Spurs even if it is for one more season after this one.
Afellay's is anyone's signing, but Sneijder is never going to happen, he would cost a minimum of 30m and we do not have that kind of money to waste on one player alone.
Lindegaard ~ 4m
Defour ~ 12m
Sanchez ~ 17m

Sorry but the no value in the market from Fergie is absolute nonsense. A few on here keep saying Sneijder for lots of £££. Fergie had Madrid by the balls when we sold Ronaldo and could have had Sneijder then for a lot less and 2 years younger. Fergie has had his hands tied behind his back by the Glazers and has also I believe lost confidence in the market after the Berbatov and Hargreaves problems. There has been value but it has been ignored. Just because Rooney has signed we must not suddenly believe the Glazers have always provided the funds and Fergie has been so clever in the market.

"5. Completely agree with the last para but the thing of not having much to spend in the future will be true for all clubs and not just united. Just look at the panic at chelsea to cut down the wage bill for eg. barcelona do not look in terrific financial health either and man city will stop spending as well when they start facing losses. I for one actually think these financial fairplay regulations will play into united's hands and bring back some sense to the transfer market and the wage bills and i have always believed SAF when he says there was no value in the market"

SAF will not spend 40+ in the summer. The Rooney ambition story was just a cover up for a money deal that went wrong for him and his advisors. Simple.
But the time has come where SAF will finally replace Van Der Saar, Neville, Giggs and Scholes.
SAF believes in value for money, potential and youth. So here are possible signings.
GK - Manuel Neuer
GK - Another unknown GK for Kushack as he will leave for first team football.
MID - Alexis Sanchez
MID - Steven Defour
MID - Wesley Sneidjer
FWD - Ibrahim Afellay
Not all will be signed. Out - Carrick, Anderson.
23 Oct 2010 16:36:27
For Wazza to have had such a turn around in opinion since his statement seems strange. .either he's been offered an obscene amount of money to stay at a club he doesn't really want to play for or he's been given assurances about a number of top signings, nay, world class signings coming in January/the summer?
Opinions please?

""2. I have watched defour a couple of times and he can play the box to box midfielder we need. Saying modric is a carbon copy of scholes is going a bit too far i think. His shooting is nowhere near to scholes' standards and his long range passing isn't too great , defour is a much better shooter and passer, in my opinion. Also we play a 4-4-2 in "most" of the matches so i do not think SAF will buy both since it would be criminal to leave fletcher out now since he has performed really well.""
@Hi fella, i have to disagree about Fletcher, he has improved immensely over the past couple of years and he was the second name on Fergies team sheet, the problem is he has been poor this season, he is giving the ball away nearly all of the time, and he is always out of position. It could be down to the Rooney saga but judging him on recent form i would not hesitate to bench him.
Defour is being bought to toughen up our midfield, he can play a Scholesy role but i genuinely think he is a replacement for Hargreaves not Scholes, Scholes is more alike to Modric than you think, i believe he can fill Scholesy's boots no problem, if not Modric then maybe Rodwell? I would want two central midfielders brought in anyway because i believe three will be leaving.
Outs:
Van Der Sar
Kuszczak - 3m
Neville
Scholes
Giggs
Park - 6m
Carrick - 8m
De Laet - 2.5m
Chester - 1m
Drinkwater - 1.5m
Owen - Free
In:
Lindegaard - 4m
De Gea - 12m
Defour - 10m
Rodwell - 20m
Cleverley
Welbeck
Diouf
Pogba
NET SPENDS = 24 MILLION.

SAF is looking to use January to invest into new strikers and a midfielders and reserve defenders
. I KNOW BERBATOV WILL NOT BE GOING ANY WHERE!
Outgoing
Ritchie Da Laet (Blackpool and Championship sides are interested)
Choice between Hargreaves or Carrick
or Anderson (Anderson looks like the unfortunate victim) (likely return to Portugal) - Hargreaves linked with Europe and Carrick linked with Sunderland/Villa/B'ham/Newcastle/Everton/Juventus
Corry Evans (J Evans Bro) loaned out for the season (Just started a one month loan)
thomas kuschak - looking for a new team already (Russian and French League looks like the choice)
Incoming
Lloris Or Igor Akinfeev £17 - £20m
Phil Brown £9m
Steven Defour £12m
Pato/Ageuro/Benzema (Benzema and Pato are the most favourable) PATO £35m / Aguero £35m / Benzema £20m
Players warned are:
Wes Brown (Youths will be given the chance to shine)
Carrick (Needs to show regular form)
Hargreaves and Owen (Due to injury problems, needs to show injuries are in the passed)
Anderson (Need to show good form)
Berbatov (Must show better goal scoring or assiting record)
Edwin Van Da Saar (Due to age, will be told he may be going to reserves)
SAF will have up to £60million in January and £40million in the Summer, however SAF wants his youth to shine

As much as ngiak views this forum to post the fans' dreams for the club, these are all just dreams. "warchest"? ha ha ha. they can't afford to have one. once again, its just a ploy to buy more time and keep the fans happily dreaming.
financially we will be in administration if we spend 100 million. and in 5 years' time, if the club does not save 500 plus million by then, then its bust again. how to save 500 million if we spend 100 million, dear man united fans, asks ngiak.
as much as ngiak wants to dream with everyone, these are the facts, as they are just raping the club dry just to pay the INTEREST, not even the loan amount!

So let me get this right. Rooney says that he doesn't want to play for us anymore. Says we have no ambition and are not going in the right direction. Then he says it's not about the money. And how do we reward him, We double his wage and give him more of his image rights. How can this be right at all. Admit it, how many of you were quite prepared to see Rooney go if it meant bringing in two or three new players and us starting again. Remember all those players he said weren't good enough are still there and he will be playing with. I do think that the 5 year deal is more about making sure that United get the maximum amount for him as I can't see Fergie staying for another 5 years. The whole thing leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I don't see it as a reason to celebrate as the media machine at United are trying to convince us. I see it as a symptom of everything that is wrong with football. Who will be the next knocking on Fergie's door saying that they have doubts about the teams ambition. RAINFISHTROMBONE
*In response to your question, firstly Im a Manchester United supporter. I'll support whomever steps out on the pitch whether its Rooney or SpongeBob Square Pants. However, I will openly admit that the prospect of losing Rooney caused me to lose NO sleep whatsoever. I thought that it might be a blessing in disguise as we wouldve been able to bring in a couple of extra players and IMO it would have also meant a new shape to the team and a slightly different style of play. But Rooney has signed now so I'll get behind him the best I can. We can only hope, however unlikely, that this whole thing has forced the glazers into spending some extra money within the next 18 months. Maybe not the £100million that some people think. . I'd be relatively happy with Lindegaard, Defour, Affelay and 1 marquee signing (so around 40-50million in total). Should the glazers continue their current spending habit then I can see a mass exodus from the club, nevermind just rooney.

23 Oct 2010 11:48:33

Hey ed(the united fan) who do you think we will sign now. Here is what i think:-
1. We will sign not one but 2 keepers. This is because kuskjack (however it is spelled!) has made it clear he will leave if he is not the one replacing VDS. So what i think is we will sign lindegaard in jan see how does in the premiership and then decide on do we need a better keeper or if he does well we will buy a young keeper for no.2
2. I believe we will sign defour to fend off LFC in jan itself and he isn't cup tied or is he?( i do not know).
3. And finally we will get bale or alfellay not both, bale would be good but costly at around 20-25mil. I don't think we will try for modric if we get defour(which i am quite sure about) as there would be no place for him in the team.
4. Overall we will need 4mil for lindegaard, 10mil for defour, and around 8-10mil for alfellay. And if we do get de gea add another 12 mil to it. Kuscjack will fetch us 2-3 mil and one midfielder will be sold. So united will have to net spend around 30mil and that does not look much considering united will have made a profit of around 30mil next year (no 100mil one off costs+ vidic and rooney on better deals means that their on paper value which is counted by contracts has increased so asset value increase will be added to the accounts and giggs, neville, scholes and VDS off the pay bill means we can cope with a 30mil spend)
5. So united with carrick starting to look a bit better(last 2 games only!), anderson doing okay, hargreaves coming back from injury, with defour, alfellay and lindegaard joining looks still a great team.
@A few problems with what you have said, first off Bale would cost closer to 30m, Afellay will be free in the summer as he is out of contract. Modric & Defour are two completely different players, Modric is a carbon copy of Scholes and can also play on the left and Defour is a tough tackling Owen Hargreaves type of player. So there is a very good chance Modric could sign. Nani will continue on the left next season, Fergie likes to play right wingers on the left as they can cut in and shoot.
Also United would have made a profit if it wasn't for the 'one off' payments but we cannot be certain that there is no more 'one off' payments that need paying next year? I would not imagine so so we could make a small profit but its unlikely, we are allowed to make losses up to 55m next season so i imagine we will not be far off of that. However the following year there will be no more Scholes etc so as you said the wage bill will come down significantly regardless of who we buy and Rooney's new contract.
United will have no problem staying within the new ruling guidelines however we will not have much funds to spend in the future which is why Fergie is trying to build a very young squad now, a squad which will not have to be added to much. I expect the Glazers to spend this summer as it will be are final spending spree whilst the Glazers are in control. We have some quality youth, we have 14 players 22 and under, Nani is 23, Rooney & Valencia 25, Fletcher 26 and we have the experienced players in Vidic, Berbatov & Evra at 29. All we are missing is a experienced midfielder to replace Scholes and a tough tackler to replace Carrick & Hargreaves and we need a new keeper possibly two like you said.
Lindegaard/Neuer
Defour
Modric
Cleverley
Welbeck
Editor, would you agree with what i have had to say? Who do you think will be brought in to replace Scholes?
{Editor's Note: Your understanding of the new finacial rulings is incorrect. Defour has been on the cards for some years.}

I have it on good authority that between now and the end of the next summer transfer window we have a deal in place for Jordan Henderson and are ''getting there'' with Karim Benzema. I cannot divulge who my information is from but it is from a person i know and trust. Jordan henderson is the deal that will in my eyes 100% happen, Benzema on the other hand is dependant on two things, firstly on the player himself wanting to come (im hoping he wants to as i would love to have Benzema at United he would be amazing in the Premier League) secondly the deal is dependant on us finding a buyer for Michael Owen (this shouldn't be too difficult as Owen is on a basic salary plus bonuses at United, so any Premier League club could offer him what we are and he seems to be injury free at present, so we should find a buyer between now and next summer). If we get both of these players plus a left winger like say Gareth Bale and another central midfielder like Steven Defour, United would pretty much be sorted for the next ten years.

From early on in the week were he looked like a broken man, yesterday he looked like a naughty schoolboy who had gotten his own way. He, with the help of Mr Rooney, has manipulated the Man U owners into financing a rebuild of the club. I do believe though that Wayne will leave at the end of the season, Just a Ronaldo did after he signed a new contract, just as Mr Beckham did after he signed as well, nobody is bigger than the club as you know guys. . .

So united will have to net spend around 30mil and that does not look much considering united will have made a profit of around 30mil next year (no 100mil one off costs+ vidic and rooney on better deals means that their on paper value which is counted by contracts has increased so asset value increase will be added to the accounts and giggs, neville, scholes and VDS off the pay bill means we can cope with a 30mil spend)
5. So united with carrick starting to look a bit better(last 2 games only!), anderson doing okay, hargreaves coming back from injury, with defour, alfellay and lindegaard joining looks still a great team.

Manchester United Rumours
"Even though rooney has signed a contract dosnt mean that he will be staying at Manchester United he could have a new contract so Manchester United can ask for more money for him if a club comes after him im hearing all theeses rumors about the glazors giving us money to sign 2 world class players this cannot be true as we all know the glazors have debts that they are struggeling to pay can't remember how much they owe heres a question for evryone if you had deebts and you couldnt pay them would you start spending money on other things? lets get realistic people the only way we are going to sign a world class player is if 1 leaves and the glazors don't take the money from that players transfer fee we all know we need to sign a keeper i know there have been a few mentioned such as lingaard, de gea, steklenburg, akinfeev etc and we could do with a cm again names being mentioned are defour, ganso, xavi etc and we could do with a fwd i know bent has been mentioned heres my opinon on who we should sign gk- akinfeev or Guillermo Ochoa in my opinon theses 2 players are good enough to replace wan der sar both are underestimated players but they are both world class cm- would like to see hamsik, hazard and ganso sign they are both fairly young and hamsik would walk into the 1st team but ganso will have to be patient and go on loan for a season or 2 but then he would be ready, hazard is a great midfielder and by the end of the season he will be world class we must sign him up as for the striker i would like to see either neymar or lukaku signed neymar is highly rated and he is going places lukaku would be a great signing he was top scorer in belguim top divison last season at the age of 16
THE HEMMINATOR"
1. Glazers aren't struggling to pay debt, because they ain't paying any back, just paying the interests which the club meets easily without one off costs!
2. Do not try to apply layman's logic to Financing in millions and billions as it does not work that way. Keep those "what would you do if you had debt" etc things to yourself as football finance and high amounts financing does not work that way.

Manchester United Rumours
Believe what you want . we won't spend more than twenty million . we will post record losses next year as no ronaldo cash to hide how bad it is . alex the liar will keep lying to us [glaziers are great owners]etc etc, i won't piss off and last but not least im not a scouser . dublin red. ed.thoughts please as your nuetral enough are we a healthy club being run correctly . {ed's note - quite clearly you are not a 'healthy' club, your debt burden is far too high to be considered healthy. Your team is in desperate need of investment, investment which has so far not materialised. Things can't go on as they are for much longer without your club sliding down the table. Something has to give.}
