Alot of talk on the press about ManUtd breaking the Gaitan release clause that is 42.5mil. I hope it doesn't happen since we can use ths money to Gotze, Martinez, WS, M'villa or Sissoko. The only thing we don't need is to breaj a cheque on a winger and doesn't matter how good he is. 42.5mil for Gaitan is madness, the guy is worth no more than 19mil.

Mate do you really expect the Glazers to allow a purchase of over 25 million?

We bought Young yet already had Nani and Valencia
Gaitan, unless he can play central midfield, doesnt make any sense to me but it wouldnt be the first time we bought someone who was not a priority would it?

He may not be worth 40 but certainly more than 19.
He may be a replacement for Nani

Sick of this centre midfield crap, remember united have always had wingers that created and scored just as much as centre midfielders, ferguson never buys a player to replace another, after the sale of every player he will look to change the play a little bit, and we definitely need another winger, haven't seen any of this guy but i would like to see Yacine Brahimi from rennes, really like the look of him atm

Plastic.
So you are happy with Scholes going and us changing to a system where sh**e CM's are good enough as nobody is to be replaced?

Rumour going round we've posted scouts to watch Lucas Biglia of Anderlecht. That would be an interesting one, he's pretty good but never had the chance to step up so it would be a gamble. Relatively cheap though, Sounds like our kinda buy with SAF soudning out we will look for more aquisitions like hernandez recently.

Biglia is out for 4 months due to shoulder surgery. Any move for him is pretty much dead in the water now.

How much of this is true? United is preparing a £40m move for Nicolas Gaitan even though he already signed for a new 5 yr deal. At least we can say that SAF might actually sign an important midfielder during January.

Ridiculous, he is not worth 40M and would never pay that for him. Decent player though, needs to get on the weights mind you

OP.... Doe's the £40 million price tag automatically mean he becomes an important player?? Chica -£7million is an important player for us.... HERBIE

I guess the 40m is including wages over the first contract.

Who does he play for and what position

Gaitan is a winger who plays for Benfica.
He is not worth £40 million at all.
We also don't need another winger as we already have Nani/Young/Valencia/Park.

Utter poppycock

Not gonna happen, why would we need another winger

I think this 40m is just a figure thrown out from Benfica end. They did the same with Di Maria (40-45m) then he only cost 25+add ons.
Anyway if SAF goes out and spends even 20m on another winger I for one will be seriously f**ked off.

Edds just wondered is there anything lining us with the Ajax left back boilsen? I read somewhere we were watching him as he is having astrong season and evra being well past his sell by date Jan could see a new LB.
MWS {Ed002's Note - I recall Manchester United had him on trial when he was at Brondby. It is probably a two or three year old story being recycled. He has been looked at recently by a few clubs but there is no confirmed interest that we are aware of.}

I don't think we'll get a LB in january, definitely not a priority. Some games i can pick evra out as out strongest player then other games he looks like he just can't be assed. Fabio, i reckon is good enough cover for the time being. He looked very good playing against aldershot, whether it was RB or LB.
If we are seriously thinking about a new LB then i reckon Jordi Alba is one to look out for, really is playing well this season! Covering as LB I know barca are sniffing around him, would be hard signing him.
