Allan McGregor i hope not.

I would like neur de gea stekelenberg as GK

Defour + Rodwell in midfield + anoth midfielder

sell carrick obertan( could come good but doubtful) maybe gibson and macheda

Cleverley and Wellbeck to bolster squad next season hopefully morrison and pogba will get a chance to shine.

Ed who would you want Man Utd to sign in summer {Ed001's Note - De Gea, Sanchez and Rodwell would be the 3 realistic signings, Mata would be the best signing the club could make in my opinion though.}

And by the way unnamed sir
these secret "future plans"" that you so closely guard and value have been posted on the walls of OT for at least 2 years. it's just been "re-emphasized". and if you did not know these plans have yet to be realized, or even started on a path to being realized. just more American propaganda until ngiak sees some physical evidence.
thanks anyway for your invaluable insider "insight"

Once again the glazers have come out and said the club is not for sale and they are in it for the long term. so i hope this will put a stop to all the takeover talk. no big signing are coming in, only young unknow players that we can improve and sell on for profit, this is the business model which has served them well, their main goal is to make money and reduce as much debt as possiable. no major investment in the team.

Summer - Reina & Bale will be signed.

1 more CM being considered- currently playing for 1 of our big rivals in Prem.

Rooney is leaving-Ronaldo all over again=-promised SAF 1 more year and signed deal to ensure he got bigger wage & club bigger Transfer.

Bale was due to be signed in Jan.

Also if you are really up on your Utd stuff you will know that the Glazers have just released their plans for utd for at least the next 5-6years and GAN if you really have sources linked to finances at UTD then you know this also. Including the deals that are due to be announced."""
dear unnamed financial expert,
for the umpteenth time, ngiak only knows that there is some activity going on financially and legally. who what where what's written on what document ngiak has NO IDEa. why is that so difficult to understand?
by the way amazingly you seem to know what's written on documents before they are even written? there was, supposedly a meeting today. to start some sort of discussion or negotiation with regard to a substantial bid. usually bids are thrown out the window especially stupidones like the red knights.
but this seems like something that the glazers might want to listento. again pure speculation and nothing may come out of it. but don't forget it takes time and money to arrange these things and an effort HAS beenmade.

Ngiak

Sorry mate but I cannot read through all of that writing. It was making my head hurt. I have no problem with any opinions of yours, I actually enjoy reading most of your posts, I just cannot understand why you would want to scare other United fans with stories that you have no evidence on.

What makes you think our top players are going to be sold in the summer? What evidence so you have of this? If it's opinion then state it, but it's not fair on some of the United fans who believe the nonsense.

We have reduced our debt by £55m in under two years. The Glazers have wiped the £249m PIKs that scared the hell out of us. We have gone from owing (according to the media) £716m down to £489m in under two years. We are financially better off than we have EVER been whilst under the Glazers so I will ask you again; Why do you believe we will sell our best players? What are you basing this on?

Sydney!

So, we've all established that we think we'll buy a keeper, two CM (one DM and the other AM), and possibly a LW. so for me the only choices available are:

Goalkeeper: Adler, Neuer, Lloris, De Gea and possibly Akinfeev.

Defensive Midfielder: De Rossi, Veloso, and possibly Annan.

Attacking Midfielder: Xherdan Shaqiri, Sahin, Lamela or possibly Alan Dzagoev

Left Winger: Sanchez, N'zogbia, Hazard, Guardado and possibly Vargas.

Out of all of these that i've named i would have: De Gea, De Rossi, Shaqiri and Hazard.

Anybody agree with me that yohan gourcuff could fill the creative void in our midfield? would love to see him at utd. just an idea manutd4eva


*I fear your opinion may be based solely on long since past form as Gourcuff has been terrible for the last year and a half. When he was 21-22 he had lots of potential but has been on the wane since then. At present he is no better than say Jordan Henderson. . and Henderson is not someone I would especially like to see at United. I agree that had we snapped him up a couple of years ago then we couldve made him into a top player but he failed at AC Milan and decided to remain in a poor french league.

Look we are saying that the injuries to a couple of midfield starters is the reason behind why we are struggling in some games so far is that right? If that is right then why when we have a few defenders out then youngsters or back ups come in we are still fine in that department?

We are so short in midfield quality its unreal. we are scraping thorugh games with devine interventions from 35-36yr olds coming off the bench to win or change games. The fact is that if our back ups or young midfielders were of the quality to play for our first team now then our game shouldnt suffer as much as it has been with these couple of injuries.

Without Toni we have lost a massive outlet of having Nani and his pace to support the strikers on breaks. Thats why Obertan has been bought as he has pace but apart from that he is rubbish. We are so unbalanced with Nani on one side and either a normally cm or Rooney on the other. Only a couple of games when Giggsy played there recently he did a good job and the team were better for it but again a 36yr old answering the call.

A pacey winger who can play left( doesn't have to be left footed imo) is desperately needed to allow for injuries and a change in personel when things arent going right in a game without having to change the system.

So that's a GK, 2 CM's, a LW and 2-3 younger players pushed through along with Wellbeck and Cleverly.

Outs: VDS, Gibson, Hargreaves (booo), Obertan, Diouf, Kuszczak, Owen.

Possible outs: Brown, Macheda, Drinkwater, Da Laet.

Doubt this will all happen but these are the most likely and would make the space for the new signings but the outs will only happen if the ins Fergie has in mind do come!

Jono!

@Ngiak, you are an absolute fool if you believe these players will be sold, United are in good financial shape, much better than we were in 2005 and we never sold off our best players then. What evidence do you have that United are going to sell off their best players? It's absolute nonsense and you know it.

I suppose it was your source?

Sydney!

Mr Sydney

I note you enjoy issuing personal comments from the safety of your computer at other posters who don't conform with your thinking. It is neither brave or clever to suggest a fellow poster is "a fool". If someone has an opinion on who United are buying or selling they are as valid as anyone else, including your own. That is what this site is all about isn't it? Are you the censor for this site, as your appear to think your opinion is the only one of very few that counts, or so you would like people to believe.
You mention "United are in good financial shape". If you are Malcolm Glazer or his advocate they sure are. Substantial increased ticket prices from 2005 helps (I know that doesn't affect you, but it does affect fans that actually go to OT) with United paying 50m a year for the privilege of his ownership. I would respectfully suggest you think of the fans that are being asked to fork out more and more money before you spout off how good the financial shape of the club is!
And don't forget, the Glazers are only interested in the club's financial performance. As they have proven at Tampa and its lowest (by some distance in the NFL) salary budget, and guaranteed TV income, sporting acheivement is not a major consideration. Accordingly, they are only interested in keeping United in the top 4, and as they are astute business people, they will spend as little as they can get away with to achieve this aim IMO.

"""@Wow, there's some well undervaluing going on here. Gibson although not good enough for United would still sell for £5m-£7m, if Tosic was sold for £8m then Obertan would equal that. Diouf is unlikely to be sold without given an opportunity at United. He would bring in £6m-£8m too. Some players maybe better off used as part-ex.

Sydney!"""
dear mr almighty always correct Sydney!
comparing tisic with overran are we? ngiak would like to play with fire here by disagreeing again. tosic was the current best thing, notice not the next best thing, for both his country and club before he came to man united together with ljajic. he was playing regularly in the first team for the best club in his country.
after being sold from man united tosic was a huge hit again scoring many important goals. where was obertan before coming here? barely good enough for bordeaux's reserves?
that's similar value? and his standard if play now? barely second division standard?

I personally believe there is money available, but when Man United enquire about a player in some cases 10m is added to the price. The Glazers are not stupid! If investment is needed then money will be made available as it has been in the past. Nani, Anderson, Hargreaves, Carrick, Evra, Vidic and Berbatov etc. Sir Alex will have money to spend this summer theres no doubt about that! The question is how much? and who will be leaving?

dear sir,
clearly since ngiak's source was not you ngiak has become a fool. so be that as it may, ngiak was just speculating. is that allowed or does everyone here have to agree with your constant drivel or be insulted dear sir?
do you are the only one here allowed to post a rumour, ya?
and all you say, even though nothing has Bourne fruit is the gospel truth and no one is allowed to challange?. ngiak is thus a fool and is not allowed to speculate. even though he said that it's just possible that this could happen if there are no new owners. could, maybe, possible, rumour, just an opinion. is that ok with you? dear almighty police of this site?

@Ngiak/ Gan-you shouldn't be getting peoples hopes up over a sale saying your sources say both sides are ready to meet with lawyers etc.

I will not state my name or explain my role or where but I will tell you that there has been no more contact between the Qatar's and Glazers since early Jan when the last offer was dismissed and they were told that they would not even talk further.

The glazers have no intention of selling and just this week have unveiled their plans at the club for the next few years. 3 at laest so there will be no sale, and no talks.The galzers have said that they have weathered the financial storm over the last 2 years and now can return to their original enhanced plans for global marketing etc of UTD. This ia a pot of gold for them. They are not selling.""
dear sir,
it's nothing to do with high or low hopes. ngiak saw the report that the qataris made a fresh new bid. so he called hos friends in the financial actor and legal sector linked to the club. lo and behold they mentioned there is some activity in that direction brewing.
ngiak does not know anything other than that.
wish he could say more. but it seems that it's not a rumour anymore. .
that's why the glazers don't want to spend a single cent cos they ar are selling. .
