Manchester United Rumours Archive June 28 2011

28 Jun 2011 23:40:21
The Daily Mirror back page tomorrow (Wednesday) reporting an "exclusive" that Fabregas to Barca for 34m and Nasri to United for 20m by the end of this week

28 Jun 2011 21:44:21
Nani has been offered to barca as part of the thiago deal

Surely thiago would be offered as part of the nani deal ?

Players player of the season for a barca fringe player?? I think not

Dnt think so the wud have 2 pays united at least 10 million aswell

Rumours are gathering pace as we race towards July 1st.

I have heard we have funds in place to bid 28m for Thomas Mueller, that is IF Berbatov. Bayern are unlikely to sell though.

With regards to the CM situation, Alan Dzagoev is being watched but scouts have their doubts whether or not he could adapt to the premier league. The same can be said for Erik Lamela of River Plate.

Main target for AMC role is Lucas from Sao Paulo. Unfortunately, Sao Paulo do not want to negotiate for anything but silly money thanks to Santos' and the Neymar situation.

no combative midfielder.or defensive midfielder will be signed, the closest thing to that may be Banega and then we will not purchase an AMC. Pogba will be given chance behind Fletcher and Carrick for the more defensive CM's. Banega is very much a target but Valencia are reluctant to sell him now he has got rid of his problems on and off the pitch.

There will be no marquee signing unless Berbatov leaves I'm afraid, which would be Mueller. but I don't think that's a bad thing

ed any updates on alejandro martinuccio? {Ed004's Note - None, sorry}

Sami nasri signing on thurs from a good source

No way United having a swoop for young Brazilian attacking winger Coutinho for ?Ǭ£10m from Vasco da Gama

REALLY hope your right an we do sign Nasri... Think he'd be ideal, just what we need. Id bid ?Ǭ£20m-?Ǭ£25m... Even with only a year left on his deal at the arse. Just think he ticks all the boxes an he'd flourish playin at Old Trafford. Id be more than happy with Jones, Young, De Gea & Nasri... Think that'd definately constitute a great window for Utd.

Sky Sports News Transfer Speculation: Alexis Sanchez has told Udinese that he will not be joining Man City and that if he can't move to Barcelona... he will stay put.

I take it Sanchez has changed his mind about joining United now then?

Or we are not in the running for him ? ? ?

Sydney!

I have been thinking that for awhile now Sydney! I don't think United have ever been interseted in him at that price. United haven't been mentioned by Udinese at all lately either

G.A.G.U.S

I do now feel we will give up on the chase for Sanchez and to be honest i dont see him leaving Udinese this year. Barca will keep their cash and try to spend it on Fabregas only. He is their priority no.1.

I have a feeling when Gill went to Barcelona it wasn't to meet with Sanchez's representatives but maybe to discuss a deal for Alcantara

CRAIGY

28 Jun 2011 17:52:22
End of this week De Gea will be our 3rd signing. Thiago Alcantara is linked at £15 million and interesting news about preparing a bid for Nasri £20 million. Personally, I would be really satisfied if get Nasri and Thiago including our other signings. Nani says he is going nowhere but I can see him one more season to see if he could fit and if he can't will sell.

{Ed019's Note - Could be, or it could be that moving to United is not an option he has on the table...}

Perhaps United are just biding their time and waiting to see what happens when Barca get fed up with the shenanigans from the Udinese president. United could end up as sole bidders at this rate (We should be so lucky).

Ed i agree and feel our interest in Sanchez has heavily decreased and he is no longer a major target.

28 Jun 2011 18:10:55
Ed any low profile targets or south american players utd are looking at? {Ed004's Note - Haven't heard of any}

The only one i heard is Sergio Canales of Real Madrid. United willing to pay up to ?Ǭ£2.7m. (not a penny more)

It was reported on manutd home page(gossip column) we are looking at 18year old sau paulo sensation Lucas (not s**t one from Liverpool) here is the link

Ole gunnar solskjaer has recommended two young Americans to go on trials at united. One is a young winger called Josh GATT , he is very fast and looks top quality . High potential. Look him up

Actually it's Ole Gunnar Solskj r

Just saw Josh Gatt on You Tube, looks ok

Early'b

Looks good. But I can see him going into MLS and USA National team.

According to Italian reports Alexis Sanches has told Udinese that if he doesnt get his move to Barca then he will stay put. I said last week that this would happen. Greedy president :)

28 Jun 2011 15:11:26
De Gea wrote on his Twitter account: "I have been invited by Man U to see the club and the city with my family and to be given an offer."

So who wants to be the one to correct him then? ;)

41
42 Paul Pogba
43 Matt James
44 Tom Thorpe
45 Oliver Gill
46
47 Davide Petrucci
48 Will Keane
49 Michael Keane

New signings De Gea, Jones and Young are included. Number 4 is still free, so are we waiting for one new player, I wonder?

O'Shea and Nani are still there, but no sign of Evans, Gibson, Kuszczak, or Brown. Last season's loans Cleverley, Diouf and Welbeck all have numbers. De Laet, Bebe, King, and Tunnicliffe (30, 33, 41, 46) have gotten loan deals and their numbers have been left blank.

Very interesting indeed"
----------------------------

They can't announce De Gea as no. 1 as the deal isn't 100% completed. Although that's still probably an accurate list it's only guesswork.

Number 18 will be retired i think anyway... but if not it sure as hell aint going to ashley young

i am a tourist from canada and i am a great supporter of Manchester united and i was outside the stadium taking pictures and i went to there training ground and i saw a tall coloured guy walking in with a man in a suit and Sir Alex coming in 5 minites later.

That's Fergies chiropodist, Derek.

I'm more curious with the man in the suit...

I'm surprised that there was only one 'man in a suit' - there are usually two men in suits in such sightings. What significance we should attach to a suit has long puzzled me...

reports on football talk say we have mad a bid for thiago alcantara from barca as he wants to leave if fabregas goes there

28 Jun 2011 12:04:51

Reliable source, although may be wrong. Once De Gea is signed on friday, SAF won't be looking at anyone else until probably January next year or even in a years time. If Nasri does come through, Sneijder most definately wont. Nasri is the person we should be aiming for i feel.


Nasri - 60% chance
Sneijder - 10% chance
De Gea - 98% chance

28 Jun 2011 11:16:51
Neil Ashton is all over Twitter after his slot on talkSPORT earlier today, saying United will go all out for Nasri and and he's adamant that we will make a £25m bid this week. Don't know how reliable he is but £25m seems a tad too much for a player with 1 year left don't you think? Is he reliable?

----------------------------------------
Ashton is normally pretty reliable for a NOTW hack and i dont think he'd be going this public unless there was something in it. Nasris agent may be behind it but SAF is not daft, he wouldnt get involved in bidding if he knew he was being played. This is a man with over 30 years experience Fabregas being allowed to leave may well be he final nail in the coffin for Nasri, does he want to hang around while Wenger rebuilds again?

28 Jun 2011 09:56:38
There is no chance we will sign Napoli striker Cavani. According to SSN the club president has put a 100 million Euro price tag on him.

28 Jun 2011 09:33:36
varane has signed for madrd.The 18-year-old centre-back was in Madrid on Monday and passed his medical with the Spanish giants before penning a six-year contract at the Bernabeu.

28 Jun 2011 09:23:51
eds, what do ye think on swapping berbatov +20million for neymar or sanchez? {Ed002's Note - Zero chance. Would Manchester United accept Konchesky + 5 million for Chicharito?}

28 Jun 2011 09:12:53
david de gea will replace Edwin van der Sar at Old Trafford and will cost a reported £18.9m.he had his medcal yesterday at OT and they are going to pay £18.9m for him.he is a great player and already has a fantastic record.

28 Jun 2011 07:24:43
My uncle is close friends with villas boas cousin and he has personally guaranteed me that falcao has been seen outside stamford bridge.Also chelsea have lodged a 38 million euro bid for neymar, who has also received offers from the likes of barcelona and real madrid.neymar however favours the london club as his pregnant girlfriend has asked to move to england.i cannot however reveal my second source as this would result in legal action being taken against my person.You heard it here first, Tim Nanai Williams. {Ed002's Note - This is of course all BS.}

27 Jun 2011 23:22:05
Just been told next few days are big for utd nasri is not going to happen arsenal don't want to sell him but might happen next summer on a free. On Sanchez I ask my source he thinks Barcelona going for mata leaving Sanchez free to Manchester United for 30m guess by end of this week as said it will happen or not. Squad no. 1.de gea. 18.young. 28.jones. 9.Owen. 4.sneijder. 7.Sanchez.

And also, if Berbatov is sold he won't need replacing as we need not spend £30m+ on Cavani to replace a substitute. Macheda and/or Welbeck will take his place in the pecking order.

Watever
