breaking rumour from deutch media. Manchester United are intersteted in strootman but agreement is close and the announcement will be annouce after the u21 championship where strootman is playing for holland
these is the link.

nl/nieuws/270551_ook-moyes-wil-strootman-graag

He's 24 in February and a full International didn't think he would be involved in u21 comp
Dylan

If you're under 21 at the start if the qualification progress you are eligible throughout, otherwise the squad that plays at the finals would contain none of the squad that started the qualification process.

Haha he's captained the senior side I think more than once, it would be an insult to put him back into u21 levels besides I thought he was 23?

Ozwald

Sure he is involved and he is the captain of holland u21 for the championship starting in june 5.
feel free to check uefa. com

Think you will find he is in the u21 squad even though he's 23 as he qualified at start of qualifying! Think a few of you owe the man an apology

M Ticka

Just read the article using Google translate and it doesn't say he's joining after the U21 tournament it just says there's interest and mentions he is going to the tournament.

Nothing new there really and certainly not a 'breaking rumour'.

RebelRed

Strootman would be a brilliant addition to the team, an over due signing which should of been pushed harder last summer.

Manchester United and FC Barcelona have agreed that Thiago does not play against Malaga so that the clause remains at £18 million.

Farley

How do u know this?
BIGAL REDFOREVER

27 May 2013 19:04:12
they didn't agreed anything because of the clause, he has to be with the spain u21 for the european championship starting next week in israel.
but deal has been agreed today after alenghty long hour of talk.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12WxiJjX-F22OjZugaHic92WZX9CR_FHMGTryIh3EtwA/edit

I don't understand. What if he plays? or doesn't play? What affect does it have on us?

Haha what is that link? It's about as legitimate as Barry Chuckle being appointed Chelsea's new manager.

Ozwald

Exactly how long is a lengthy long hour of talk then??

Google documents wtf kind of source is that? :D

TAP

I thought Barry Chuckle was only ever going to be interim manager at chelski, anyway, he's just signed for Napoli

Eds is it true with reports regarding Strootman to sign this week? Also the same with Thiago but will be announced after the u21s championships? Thanks in advance {Ed004's Note - I have no idea}

Don't know a lot do you Ed? {Ed004's Note - Yes tonnes just none relating to who united will sign}

No name, how can you expect the ed to know who we are going to sign the only people who know who we will sign are the people in charge of the club.

Gareth Bale is reported to have handed in a transfer request!
What do y'll think?
Man utd or real madrid?
I am wishing he comes here? {Ed004's Note - I was just thinking that by signing Baines, Strootman/Modric and Bale this year it would let us remain competitive in the league and then next summer we could improve further on the team and make it so we only need 2-3 signings next year to be up competing in Europe}

That is a very good idea. But I will give our two left backs a season long chance. I have high hopes for fabio and buttner

Would love to see Bale coming to the club - along with Strootman and one of the two Barcelona players we are linked with.
We were competitive enough in Europe this year so the 3 of those would make us much more competitive.
Baines is what 28/29? I wouldn't spend that sort of wedge on a player that old - if we are to go for anyone why not Luke Shaw? Either way I'd let Paddy and Buttner alternate at left full next season and look to bring someone in then.

Yeah
I will be happy with strootman, bale, thiago and zaha. Wellington bueno if he is ready. I want Rooney to stay but if he leaves I will give is shirt number to kagawa and will go with this line-up.
David de gea,Rio ferdinand.Nemanja vidic.Rafael.Evra.Carrick.Strootman
Valencia/ nani..Zaha/nani.Kagawa.Van persie {Ed004's Note - So you would sign Bale and not play him? Also people are expectin way too much from Zaha next season on here. Currently watching the play offs final and his decision making is very poor. There is potential there but he won't be a main player for us next year imo}

Agree with Ed004 on Zaha, he has a lot to do to make it to this level. There's potential there but nothing more.
Have heard now that the bale transfer request story is a spoof? {Ed004's Note - I don't believe the Bale rumours atm}

Where did u hear that from. Utter rubbish.

I am amused by people posting bs and not leaving their names. They are just winding you lot up lol

Shahram

Zaha will do very well next season, watching him today his teammates just weren't on his wave length it's almost like he wants to play a more technical game as apposed to constantly running down the wing with the ball you could see towards the end he was knackered. They rely on him so much to carry the ball forward I wonder how they're going to cope next season unless Bolaise can step it up notch. Don't know if you realised but he was closely marked by two players everytime he got the ball in the final third and yet he managed to nip it past both of them the majority of the time.

Confident he'll be better than Nani and Young next season anyway.

Who's going to watch Crystal Palace vs Watford?I'm really looking forward to seeing Zaha play.

Keep an eye on Williams as well.

Well, I watched most of the match (missed the first half of extra time) and I thought Zaha was truly awful. Is this what we have paid £15 million for? We would have been better increasing any offer for James Rodriguez than wasting our money on a showboater. Very similar to a young Cristiano, but without the obvious skill. Terrible!
Mike B.

Mike are you being sarcastic?zaha was fantastic, end product needs work but we need a player like him, he's a huge prospect and I think he's good enough to be starting for us.

phil

Mike B you having a laugh mate? Zaha was the stand out performer, the only player on the pitch that could take the ball past multiple players. Williams also looked quality but got subbed off too early on. Besides the defending in the top teams of the championship isn't much different from the defending in the bottom teams of the PL and we know the PL is much more difficult for attackers to look amazing in than the Portuguese league so don't be so negative. JESUS CHRIST.

Ozwald

Also the wages we would have had to offer Rodriguez would have been almost double what we'd offer Wilf.

Ozwald

Zaha still very raw but showed plenty of ability today, not scared to take people on and very strong

Thiago deal close. Talks are in the closing stages. Deal will not be announced until after the U21 Euros.

Farley

Its a done deal, $19 million is the sum

I can gurantee that Thiago Alcantra will not be a Manchester United come 1st September 2013

Mr. Gurantee? Why don't u leave your name when u give such statements? Are u afraid of standby your words?
Rodio17

I can guarantee you he will.

Farley

Rubbish are u his agent lol you ain't got aclue just making it up like the papers do

Breaking rumour.
Man Utd trigger Thiago Alcantara's release clause of 18M euros.

27 May 2013 02:33:25
Thiago Alcantara looking set to sign after the Euro under 21 championship. He has an 18 million euro release clause, he has been deemed surplus to requirements at Barca with Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets being the main three with Fabregas and Song as cover and he is desperate for first team football with a spot at next years world cup pivotal on this. To me it seems a no brainer for all three parties, united get a soon to be world class creative central midfielder on the cheap, Barca recoup a fair bit of the money they have spent on Neymar for a player not in favour and Thiago gets the first team football at a top team that he needs and deserves.

27 May 2013 10:44:02
So he uses us to get in the world cup squad. And then in two years time when Xavi retires he starts agitating for a move back to Barcelona. Is he really worth the headache. If I was to sign anyone from Barcelona it would be Fabregas and Sanchez.

Why would we want a someone who we are going to turn into a world class player then in a couple of years time going to kick up a fuss to go back to barcelona? just not worth the trouble! we want players who are in it for the long term and who want to be at united!

I just don't think long term players are out there anymore lads. All we can hope for if we get him is that he is a success and if he wants to go back to Barca in a few years that we get a very large transfer fee for him.

Steo

Hate the way u lot talk. Who is to say what will or won't happen. Like many other players he may come to united and fall in love with the club. Other than ronnie who else has come to united andalways wanted to play for someone else. And even if he moves on, so what. C'est la vie. 2, 3 or 4 yrs, we will have a quality player that we have been craving for some time. You would be moaning if we didn't bolster the midfield

It is just a rumor not confirmed yet, even if it is confirmed we need not waste our time to think that he will wish to go back to Barca. I believe if we can build our team to be consistently at the top, Barca will be history as all good players will always want to identify with us not Barca or Real except on rare cases. I wish we can build a team that will standout for long and see which player will play for us and want to move elsewhere.
