@Huntelaar? Seriously? Stick to FIFA manager mate!
i do not play fifa manager, also huntelaar would fit in well at utd hes been struggeling at milan and madrid but he would do well in the prem alex is a long term admirer of him would work well with hernandez


Is this the same Huntelaar that actually plays for Schalke? Has got 6 goals in ten games but not a fast enough player with the ball im afraid this would be another Berbatov situation!
i know hes is now at schalke he is a different player to berbatov he has talent he has good pace and a good finisher he would play well with hernandez and rooney but we know rooney is leaving soon huntalaar would bang in 20 goals a season in the premI understand what u mean when u say he has pace but his finishing is as good as Berba's was at Spurs and his predatory skills seem to have eluded him now who's to say that won't happen again? I think he is to similar in style and shape to Macheda and with how Fergie loves him I see him being Utd's 4th striker berth with Rooney, Berba and Chicha next year.

I also see other area's being far more important to strengthen so im sure another ST is prob off cards.

What you think ED?
{Editor's note - It is the midfield that needs sorting out.}
agreed ed who do u think we need in midfield? i wud like 2 see hamsik or miguel veloso in midfield i think veloso has just moved so it wud be a no go
THE HEMMINATOR {ed's note - Banega, Javi Martinez and Defour would be my suggestions for your midfield.}

Everywhere i look i keep seeing defour to united i havent seen this guy play, but checked him on youtube, and wasnt that impressed can someone whos seen him tell me his qualities, for me afellay is a much better option as he offers pace, skill, and a great shot just what we need from midfield, on the wing i also like neymar who looks a real talent but will probs be pricey please comment.

Rooney definitely on the move - hes upset too many people - fergy included, hes still not happy and neither is evra, trying to make out everyone is happy but no way, don't forget ronaldo and beckham signed contracts before they waved goodbye see ya rooney, united can't keep paying them wages because if any big name comes in for giggs etc they will want the same money

QUESTION for the EDITOR;

In the 2011/12 season how much is each team allowed to lose in their turnover? Then how much can they lose in 2012/13 until in 2013/14 when all teams must break even? {ed's note - It is understood that initially clubs must not return losses of more then 45million euros (£38million) for the 2012-15 period. After 2015, clubs are given a leeway of 30million (£26million) for three-year losses after which the figure will be reduced still further.}

Ed but what about next year? Someone told me you can make a 55m loss in the 2011/12 season, then from 2012-15 you can make a total loss of 38m over the three seasons. Does this mean United can make a 55m loss next season, 38m loss in 2012 and break even 2013, 2014 & 2015 and that will be okay? {ed's note - the easiest thing is to look for yourself, it is difficult to interpret simply, it is so complicated that I am not entirely sure. Each time I read it I come to a completely different conclusion! http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/Clublicensing/01/50/09/12/1500912_DOWNLOAD.pdf Maybe you can explain them better to me, because I believe the loss has to be 38m spread over a 3 year period between 2010 and 2012, rather than a 38m loss in 2012.}

Does anyone know if it's true that akinfeev is a free agent in the summer? Ed do you have any idea? {ed's note - I am pretty sure his contract runs out December 2011, so he would be able to sign a pre-contract next summer.}

BREAKING NEWSNeither Reina or Torres will ever join Man United. Torres has already said he'll never play for another English club, being a Liverpool fan and Reina values the Liverpool-Man U rivalry as much as any supporter and would never go there, if in some strange universe he did he would cost in the region of £20m+.

It's been over 50 years since the last direct transfer between Man U and Liverpool, the only reason these rumours have reared their heads is because the current Liverpool manager is weak-minded and, being Fergie's mate, doesn't seem to grasp what the rivalry means to the clubs and it's fans.

Afellay to United in January is a dead-cert. Even though his contract runs out in the Summer, Afellay has always said that he'll ensure PSV receive a fee when he leaves, and he will not let his contract run down completely, thus becoming a free agent.

Fee would be in the region of £6m-£8m.

Lindegaard will be arriving in January also, and not in the Summer. I expect this because speculation linking him to other clubs is increasing, and SAF will not want to miss out on this highly talented GK.

Fee would be in the region of £4.5m.

The big signing this Summer I believe will be Daniel Di Rossi. I expect this to be Di Rossi's final season with Roma. Di Rossi has previously claimed thast he'll never play for another Italian club, and with United missing that Keane/Robson midfield general, SAF will move heaven and earth to try and land a player he's admired for several years.

Fee would be in the region of £21m-£24m.

With Rooney's u-turn there are obviously funds available. I think we will sign 2 in January and 3 more in the summer due to the retirements of Giggs, Scholes, VDS and Neville. However no right back will be signed as Rafael looks to be living up to his potential. We also do not need to sign a forward, Chicharito looks to be settling in nicely and we have the potential of Macheda and Diouf. Anyone who wants to comment feel free to do so.

January:

Lindegaard - 5-8m
Defour - 10-12m

Summer:

Afellay - Free
Bale - 30m
Sanchez - 15-20m

Answer- Yet again you said "Everyone would have wanted Berbatov at United" , why do you keep assuming you know what everyone else's opinion is?
Berbatov is a flop, not enough goals and doesn't make enough of a difference especially in important games.

*Didnt he score a hatrick against our biggest rivals?*

Guys
I genuinely don't think Rooney will move this Jan the next or the next.
He's here for the long run.
INS Jan or summer -

I think Defour is a dead cert
Afellay is cheap as chuips and pure quality and the right age but we did say this about Ozil aswell?
Bale/Rodwell/Modric/Sneijder/Sanchez are all pretty longshots although the tweo most likely are Sanchez and Bale.
I do think though that there may be a surprise in store, i mean someone was touted to get Rooney to re-sign?? Ed any ideas exactly who was talked about in THAT conversation?

Answer- Yet again you said "Everyone would have wanted Berbatov at United" , why do you keep assuming you know what everyone else's opinion is?
Berbatov is a flop, not enough goals and doesn't make enough of a difference especially in important games.

I am not assuming mate i know it as many at old trafford wanted him! SAF hasn't picked him big games for tactical reasons to play 4-5-1. In the big games he has played he has done well.


"Answer-
When Tevez had a look at Berbatov being put in the team ahead of him no matter how Berbatov played (And I think Rooney has done the same) then anyone in that position would have looked elsewhere. Fergie messed that up. It was nothing to do with money."

Keep being in the illusion of tevez wanting out because of berbatov. He played many games that season and got good gametime. When you are a manchester united player you will not get a game every week. We keep talking about having 4 quality strikers and tevez cannot sit on the bench for a few matches? Absurd for me! He just wanted the money. Why not join some better team then? Man city weren't world beaters then?

"Answer-There you go again assuming you know what everyone thinks. There are many who believe we need to get several real quality players. How long have you been watching United? I will bet that it is only during the Fergie years? Do let me know."

Another united fan who thinks he has been visiting OT for years makes him a better fan than the others. I have been going there for 31 years mate barring the last 2 due to being overseas for official work. There are many new united fans who have started supporting just this decade and have a much better outlook towards united and modern football in general. There are many who believe we need to get several top quality players is correct but i have seen nobody who doubts us getting into the top 4 even without buying bale, sneijder and your dream signings torres and fabregas. You are the first one. Even dreaming about torres and fabregas is not logical, as firstly we will not sign them even if we were to make ridiculous offers and secondly they are so injury prone it just disturbs the whole balance of the team and tactics of the manager constantly.


"Answer - Is that the same Arsenal who have not won anything in 5 years? Is that what you see for United?"

You said about getting into the top 4 and not about winning the league. And how close were we last year to winning the league? Yes 1 pt. How much did we spend? 20 odd mil. There is no question in my mind that even with this squad we can make it into the top 4 comfortably."Answer- Is that Real Madrid who have the record 9 European Cups and many league titles. Chelsea who are the champions and likely to be that again this year? Or City who will probably buy the title over the next couple of years whilst we sit and watch. Many of us laughed when Barca swapped Etoo for Ibramimovitch. So, tell me when we bought (just a few examples) Keane , Ince, Pally, Yorkie, Veron, Andy Cole , Rio, Rooney plus more were we not being agressive in the market spending big and flexing our muscle to win the titles we did? The interesting thing Rooney was 6 years ago. That worked but Berbaflop and Hargreaves have not been good and I think that has affected the managers confidence plus the Glazers want to find cheap players that they can make a big profit on, like buying penny shares."

How many trophies have real madrid won with the kamikaze spending of theirs in the last 6 years? Their glory squads of the old were by no means bought! Completely being dominated by barcelona in spain for last 4 years and humiliated in the champions league! Their first spending on galacticos as far as i am concerned was a failure. They sure won the champions league, but the players bought were just towards the end of their careers. What long term strategy has buying big every year brought them? Do they have a settled squad for the last 7 years? Absolutely not.

"Answer - Which ones have won us titles? Also when answering that allow for the general price of the market at the time."

Evra, vidic, flcetcher(youth academy), VDS, Have all won us titles and don't you doubt their contribution as without them we would have not won what we did for the last 4 years.

"Answer- At last we agree. But I strongly disagree that this is enough."

Who said that is enough? Surely not. But we need the nani, valencia, hargreaves(sad about injury) type buys as far as i am concerned. In the 10-20mil range. The 35mil rated sneijder+ wages, 30mil(maybe more due to bidding war and tottenham not wanting to sell to rivals) rated bale and modric are not the ones i think any financial sense or complete major improvement on current squad (barring sneijder).

"Answer- We keep saying Cleverley has potential, however, at 21? he can only get a substitute berth at Wigan at the moment so it is still to be seen. Not seen Defour but you get what you pay for. If Defour is so good why are the top teams not after him. Do you really think Fletcher, Anderson and Defour will win us the league or E Cup? I don't believe it would."

He has been injured and recovering, he is bound to be on the bench. And defour is good. You seem to believe that a player who is chased by many teams worldwide is good and the one who is being not is not as good. Did we have bidding wars for evra, vidic, chicharito? Or which TOP team bid for rooney apart from united? I don't know of a bidding war for nani. Yes fletcher, anderson and defour can win us the E Cup. I guess you must not have believed that a carrick and scholes midfield would win us the league 3 years ago, did you? I did believe in them and i do believe we can win it all with fletcher, defour and anderson with carrick and hargreaves for backup. Maybe not this year (unless anderson gets back into his strides) itself but certainly next year. Manchester united always build teams for a 4-5 year period, not for just one year like real madrid, even if it means waiting a year on the CL. They can certainly win the league this year though. Even without defour i believe we can win the league this year.

"Just a few ok games for him everybody including you will be on his back saying how he is a flop and we should sell him
Answer- Yet again you assume you know something about me. I have watched some great and some absolute rubbish at United. Answer the question how long you have been watching Utd."

The way you mention berbatov, carrick and hargreaves says a lot about how you will be on the back of a player if he does not play well. Berbatov has just scored a hat trick, gave the decisive pass in the game against stoke and yet you still start saying when was his last goal?

"Answer- Xavi 31, Iniesta 30? you really think they would be good buys?
Messi- no we wouldn't get him.
However , that is very narrow minded of you to restrict only 3 Barcelona players as good enough.

I don't think we will agree but am fascinated how many years of watching at Old Trafford you use to base your knowledge on?
Red Man"

Yes xavi even at 31 would be a good buy. An experienced and world class replacement for scholes, who can hit the ground running and single handedly take teams apart. A leader on the pitch. He will be worth it.

Iniesta at 30 still has the legs of a 25 year old. The amounts of defense splitting passes he makes are unbelievable. We can certainly count on him for 10 goals and 20 assists a season if we get him.

And lastly get over the illusion of a fan who supports a team for years is the better one and understands better. Its just a sense of arrogance among supporters who have been there for long. Without some of the new fans there won't be huge signings, huge tv deals and no matter how foolish some may be they still watch the game with the same if not even more passion and i have seen it. Sometimes i feel the ones who watch it abroad on tv are the better ones actually. And yes i don't think we will agree because you will always want "more' and "BIG" and assume we will not be successful without it.

A huge revamp of the team is needed and it seems very likely to happen with David Gill after promising at least 50million for transfers. With the new regulations about squad size players will need to leave in order for more to come in!
Retirees:-
Van der Sar- Neure
Giggs- Bale
Scholes-Sneijder
Neville- Lahm(didn't believe it myself until I seen that Bayern are interested in signing Glen Johnson)
Sales and who will replace them:-
Carrick- Diarra/Defour
Park- Pienaar
Welbeck- Ninis
Other sales Owen, Dioufe, De Laet!
This is possibilities that may happen between January and next summers Transfer windows!

Manchester United are in talks with Affelay of PSV & Leroy Fer of Feyenoord, Leroy fer is a 20 year old defensive midfielder and before you start thinking he is sh!te because Feyenoord got beat 10.0, let me just tell you that Fer was substituted after 14 minutes through injury before the rout even began.

Both of these players if snapped up in January will cost just 12m.

United are preparing a 12m bid for Pepe Reina, Editor surely this would never happen?
{Editor's note - Not for that price}

Turning 29 next year and he could possibly ask to leave this week, how much do you value him at?
{Editor's note - Closer to 20 million mate and I am the Manchester United supporting Ed}

20m for a 29 year old keeper? That even for Reina is a bit steep don't you think? the Daily mirror value him at 12m, or they say hes valued at 12m.

Personally i do not believe it but if they do go in for Reina i cannot see him costing 20m, i would prefer De Gea, 10 years younger and has more chance of ever representing his country. Ed who do you want United to buy? Goalkeeper wise!

{Editor's Note: Manuel Neuer}
