Ed 004, has our interest in lewondowski disappeared? #

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed004's Note - Don't recall us having much interest in him this summer}

28 Jul 2015 08:01:10
Ed001 said that we did from what I recall?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - yes mate you did, but you are looking elsewhere right now, it is on the backburner so to speak as other options are explored.}

28 Jul 2015 08:03:01
A few of the eds said a couple of weeks back that he was of interest during the time when his agent was claiming money would be factor in any move, ie if we offered 40mil+ for him, we could have a chance of getting him

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jul 2015 09:40:16
It's not Lukaku is it?!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jul 2015 10:30:10
Hi Ed001

If you get chance would you be able to give a few names of people being considered?

Cheers

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Zlatan is the only one I know of, though how realistic that is I have no idea. It would certainly suit both PSG and Man Utd to make a deal work.}

28 Jul 2015 13:34:25
@Ed001

Please tell me its not Lukaku we are looking at. I'd rather give Wilson a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any interest from United in Lukaku, but I do know of interest from Lukaku in joining United, which is why I have avoided commenting on Everton for a couple of days, while I tried to find out if the interest was mutual. Sorry I haven't had a chance to find out yet though.}

28 Jul 2015 13:53:27
ED001 looking elsewhere means different player being looked at or are we trying to get player for a different position first.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - different player being looked at.}

28 Jul 2015 11:13:11

Would our main target right now be Pedro?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed004's Note - Probably atm}

27 Jul 2015 21:44:57
Rumours we have already signed cilleson but are keeping it secret as part of our attempts to buy ramos. Meaning if we can't get ramos we will be willing to sell de gea last minute for much less than the 33 million we wanted. Also benitez has said ramos is 'optimistic' about staying at the bernabeu! So he wants to stay there after all, shock horror ! Waste of time and was a very strong possibility we'd not get ramos and lose de gea for nothing . Mr Woodword continues to work hard it would appear ! Also apparently a fee of 23million agreed for Pedro and that will go through as soon as di maria signs for psg. What exactly is holding this up????? Be interested to see if Pedro can hack the PL

No more talk of Di Maria until it's official!

Agree2 Disagree1

28 Jul 2015 11:27:50
I totally understand IT IS getting annoying but it's also being reported that we are looking to tie the deal involving Moura? Great talent and he too is only 22? Getting Moura at his age, Memphis at 21/22 on top of that Wilson and Januaj (spelling) next year or even this year a young top striker as well would be awesome! It's just the defence I'm worried about abit? We need someone more commanding although Smalling has grown in statue miles than I thought he would do?

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Jul 2015 11:36:32
My god you guys that rumors much too seriously

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 21:04:39
Evening all,
Blanc stating that a deal between us and PSG for Di Maria is close. I'm guessing that settles things really in terms of us now needing another signing attack wise. Agut Feeling tells me there is a bit of a striker merry go round on the verge and hopefully that involves us. Lewandowski, Bale or Ronaldo for me.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

27 Jul 2015 21:35:07
I can't work out whether lvg wants him to stay or not , shame we never got to see him make a go of it

Agree1 Disagree1

27 Jul 2015 21:51:20
It is a real shame, but, it's better for both parties if he moves on at this stage, his heart isn't in it for us at all. Maybe things like the family home being burgled or whatever it was have played a part. Not sure I believe PSG were his first choice last year.
It's been a great window for us so far and it could still yet get even better. Who will we bring in next.

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 21:57:45
Pedro and otimendi possibly cilleson. I don't think Pedro is 1st choice but the likes of muller Ronaldo and bale are not going to happen so who else is out there! Plus 22million for Pedro is another bit of good business ! We haven't thrown money at anyone yet

Agree0 Disagree1

27 Jul 2015 22:13:13
True. The midfield business has been astute and the Depay signing is incredible. Agut Feeling tells me we are still in with a chance for something great, as you have said though it's hard to think just where that will come from. That's why I think there might be a chain reaction type scenario. City want to sell Dzeko, Madrid need to sell someone, Munich haven't done much at all yet other than one in one out. I just wonder if Madrid will go for Ageuro this year or something, something out of the blue.
We will see.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jul 2015 08:21:12
We are definitely in for someone big. Adidas really want to trailblaze their new kit deal with Pedro as the lead new flair player? Appreciate Memphis is there too.

Our spend including Pedro will only just be pushing £100m and if you lop off £46m return on Di Maria all of a sudden our £150m war chest has £100m in it.

That coupled with the urgent need to get back to the top table, LVGs comment re Ronaldo, Messi etc being the very top players we are competing against AND his comment he's retiring in 2 years mean someone big is coming. And they're coming now.

Targets are the obvious ones: Ronaldo, Muller and Bale. The most gettable of those is Ronaldo.

I said it a few weeks back Ronaldo is coming home.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Jul 2015 11:32:05
I personally think Muller is the one! His relationship with LVG will swing him towards us?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jul 2015 14:25:05
Ronaldo will stay at Madrid to become their all time top scorer. Bale will stay as well. I really like muller, however lewandowski seems more viable

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 11:55:53
Hi Edds,

Is there any chance 'we may' go after ANOTHER Bayern player in this transfer window? Muller and Gotze spring to mind?

Thanks for the input, cheers, Ronnie.

{Ed004's Note - Probably not}

27 Jul 2015 10:28:08
Hi Eds:

In your opinion do you think United will sign Pedro and Otamendi this transfer window?

You will know more than the ridiculous tabloid papers and just wondering if your contacts have indicated whether United really are after these two or it's just paper talk?

Cheers

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed004's Note - I reckon there is a good chance both will be signed. It's looking less and less likely that Ramos will leave and Otamendi is probably plan B.}

27 Jul 2015 17:01:30
Admittedly this is all ifs, buts and maybes but I just wanted peoples/eds opinions.

Hypothetically let's say we insist on DDG staying this year, what happens if Real get the possible transfer ban that was suggested earlier in the year?

I might have missed this all get resolved but I thought they were being investigated currently.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

27 Jul 2015 18:15:12
"In our circumstances, with the threat that De Gea is going to Real Madrid, we have to prepare our season and I think Sergio Romero can fulfil that," Van gaal

i think ddg is on his way out

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 18:50:13
I'm not remotely going to disagree jred because I agree, but say the window closes and Real Madrid are issued a ban, what then?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 21:12:39
If it happens they will protest and get one more transfer window. Barca got he ban , they appealed and the ban was lifted for that summer window and they got everyone in. Expect the same with Real.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 16:59:53
Any news on the possible transfer of Otamendi? According to reports in Spain he was an hour early for training and told Valencia again of his desire to leave.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Jul 2015 12:27:28
Hey Ed001 is you are about? Any thoughts on who MUFC will look to to replace Di Maria?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - I always thought Depay was his replacement mate.}

27 Jul 2015 13:08:09
That's if he does end up leaving. I have a sneaky feeling he might give it another go this season. It would be worth keeping him just to put PSG in their place. I think they have acted inappropriately; constantly going on about the player in an attempt to unsettle him further.

Agree1 Disagree7

27 Jul 2015 14:06:16
In my opinion we shouldn't keep a player who gets unsettled by the lures of playing in French league.

Agree7 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 14:12:48
So keep a player we could get 45 million for who can't even be arsed turning up for pre season training? Not sure about that Sam.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 14:31:32
Why on earth would we keep a player, the highest paid player in the league, who doesn't even have the professional courtesy to join up with the rest of the squad?

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 15:42:09
GO . go to a much easier league . Its quite clear he can't hack the ruff and tumble of prem league. bye

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 20:48:23
You're right guys. Reading that comment back I don't know what I was thinking. I was kind of hoping that Di Maria had a pair and might give it another go and fight for his place, but it seems he is a light weight mercenary with absolutely no respect for the club. So yes, send him on his way, although I hope the club won't sell until we have signed a replacement or got one of their main players in return.

I can't help but think that PSG have instructed him to act like a brat and not turn up for training in order to push the move through.

He will never be known as a great. Great players are made of tougher stuff.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 21:29:19
He was shit last year and why would we want to turn down 45 to 50 million pounds for a player who was an absolute failure in the league and a non factor. some of our fans seem to be more in love with names and reputations than actual performance on the pitch.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Jul 2015 07:19:18
I personally think that Ibra is coming the other way in the di Maria saga. This is probably the suprise LVG was talking about.
Yes, he is getting on but he bossed Chelsea the other night in the first half especially. I personally want any 1 of about 5 other players instead of him but there is no getting round the fact that the blokes a tank and would cause a lot of issues for defenders.

I want ADM out ASAP, lightweight and has the heart of a mouse. Recipe for disaster in premier league.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 12:20:40
Couple of rumours (albeit on the poorer quality Sites)about Herrera being of interest to AMadrid and Valencia. Anyones thoughts or more info?

Believable0 Unbelievable4

27 Jul 2015 12:44:43
Not a chance of LVG will let him leave, as we finally got enough quality at CM position.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 13:34:39
Surely depay isn't the Di Maria replacement he's just a young lad. Let's look at Reus and alike.

Agree4 Disagree3

27 Jul 2015 01:10:40
Romero signed on three years deal

Nice bit of business. Can't help but feel Valdes and lindegaard will be leaving in the not to distant future.

Agree3 Disagree5

27 Jul 2015 01:56:34
Lol @ people clicking 'unbelievable' to a done transfer. That's unbelievable! Welcome lad to the United family.

27 Jul 2015 08:36:59
good signing on a free aswell

Agree5 Disagree1

27 Jul 2015 09:05:13
Better option than Lindegard and Valdes IMO.

Agree5 Disagree0

27 Jul 2015 09:24:35
I don't really rate him. Better than Lindegaard and seems Valdes is off so can't complain on a free.

Agree0 Disagree3

27 Jul 2015 14:21:55
I know it's not a lot to go on. I've been watching Romero on you tube. Seems a decent penalty and shot stopper. however he does not seem keen on catching the ball,He prefers to push the ball to either side of him, or even back into the danger area. Imo a striker who is alert may have field day against us if he plays. Like I say it's only what I've seen on YouTube.
