I would love to see modric come to united but did he not say he only wanted to go to Chelsea
also if as reported united agreed to pay inter 30/35 mill in the summer you could argue sneijder is/was fergys first choice , it would of been a lot of money to pay for a player if he wasn't his first choice
jred

Well first n foremost modric isn't worth 35/40 million.hes overrated.he is a good player but not a great.i would be delighted if chelsea payed over the odds for him,coz the way i see it is he's just another yossi benyoune but sneijder on the other hand is a world class player.he would be perfect.and I hope he's utds first choice.Hes the type of player you pay the money for!

Super red

I still think that Wes is the only guy who's vision and passing range is as good as scholes was!

Ozwald

Wes is nothing like Scholes. He is more like VDV in the sense he is a SS.

Super red that is easily the worst comment i've evern seen on these boards, another benayoun, not been watching fottball for long i take it.

Enough of the Sneijder rumours! Who wants someone who's been out almost all season and might not adjust to our league?

Percy

You may think its the worst comment but it's the truth,modric wouldn't get his Game for Chelsea,nor man city,barca or real Madrid,inter,I could go on n on.he is inconsistent,doesn't score many goals,He's good in fits n starts but he is no top dog he is not a world class player!and I watch,play,coach football day in day out my friend.

Super red

I have to say this i think Super red is the 1st person i know that doesnt rate Modric! I watch the Serie A on ESPN and what i have seen on Wes (as he has been injured alot) its that before he was injured he doesnt work hard enough. On the other hand i watch Modric every week and that guy is great on the ball, fair enough he doesnt score enough goals its not like scholes did in his last 3-4 years. We want someone to control the play and be energetic in midfield and always give 100% if you dont think Modric is worth 30+ million you must be crazy.

Oh and he wouldnt get into barcelonas team as its the team of the century but would get in Madrids team and certainly Chelseas and man uniteds (ahead on Xabi Alonso, Kheidra, Ramires, Meireles, Carrick, Fletcher)

Just a quick word on the current transfer situation re. United. I have been told the only two possible Jan transfers are moves for Sneijder and (surprisingly) Torres. Ferguson thinks he can reunite the Spaniard with his best form, as he believes class is permanent. The deal would equate to 20m. As for Sneijder, Inter are willing to sell for 30m - however, his contract is still being worked on. Expect these to be announced before the Arsenal game - both the players might even feature in the game!
Therefore Line Up for rest of season:
---------------De Gea--------------
Smalling---Jones-------Ferdinand---Evra
Nani----Sneijder------Carrick/Cleverley-----Young
------------------Rooney------------------
------------------Torres------------------
Good times to be a red!

Highly unlikely... im sure ed002 would have some info on torres if he was a target for united {Ed002's Note - Don't drag me in to this.}

I dont believe TORRES will come,..atleast not while Berbatov is here.
Sneijder might be possible,well, but the thing is whether SAF still wants him, when everything was going well in the summer with his transfer,even the fee was agreed between the 2 clubs, it was sneijder demands that caused the disturbance to the deal.

Now i think united will go after Modric,if they want someone in the midfield with that type of characteristics, and so SAF said,...if the player becomes available we will go after him or else the transfer window for united will be quiet.

Modric has said in the press this morning that he will stay at spurs till june at least then see what happens. I think SAF will forget about Sneijder and go all out for Modric in the summer. Torres? Id take a punt on him at 20m, he's still young enough to come back into form and imagine him scoring a winner for us infront of the kop!

Interesting, i read somewhere yesterday about SAF talking about whether a player would be eligible to play in the Europa league after being in the Champions league if a Jan transfer would be made, i'm sure it was related to WS. Ed, do you know if players are eligible for Europa league even if they've played in the CL?

Ozwald {Ed002's Note - It is a touch more complicated than a simple yes or no. A club in the Europa League can identify one player only on February 1 who has previously played in the Champions League if the team he played for is not in the same competition. This means Wesley Sneijder or John Terry could be that player.}

I think SAF might surprise everyone with Sneijder and Torres.

Still on the xmas spirits then

Would love see sneijder come; and think he is the most likely onethat we will get!

I think this is a bit far fetched to b honest,sneijder maybe,but I can't see fergie signing Torres,although he has surprised me with some dodgy signings in the past.

Are you all real?

Sneijder had his chance and certainly we wont be held to his ransom again.

And Torres? Really?

The poster couldnt even be arsed to state a source or himself as the poster.

Theres lazy journalism and there is idiots like this one. Posting utter sh1t based on absolutely nothing.

RedDevil92

Did anyone see Laurent Blanc, Henrik Larsson or Micheal Owen coming?

The current squad needs experience. SAF will buy that through Sneijder and Torres.

Don't believe any of this pap.

Shut your jibber jabber fool

Do you really think SAF is going to drop an in-form Javier Hernandez for an out-of-form Fernando Torres?

I don't think so.

Welbeck is far better than torres!!...and ws had his chance and blown it !

For the person who says "shut your jibber jabber fool" - this rumour might actually be right - turn on sky sports news now...

Cant believe theirs 19 mugs at current who actually believe this rumour

Trust me guys, there is NO WAY Torres would even consider United. Despite everything he is still loves Liverpool + the supporters would treat him the same way that Michael Owen is treated....he is now despised by most LFC fans for turning his back on LFC ( even though Owen personally missed out on a Champions League medal !)

If WS come's.. Fine
if torres come's.. We will be the laughing stock in the whole country..
Seriously! Guys Fergie is old but not senile

It is idiots like this that ruin this website

What's been the best bit of Owens career? Utd? So Torres cud have same!

We can all guess at who may or not sign but i woudnt totally rule out utd in for Torres as its fergie,he does what others dont expect&is a known fan of his&will believe he can make him fire again,there pos more chance of Torres than Sniejder if is true its was player demands stopped the deal in the summer then no way will he ever be at united&dont ever think players wont play for certain clubs!Alan Smith says it all!lol myself yes i would love united do something like it get 2 big players in,would send a few tremours over at the council house

Swap de gea for lindegard!

Torres is a pile of fish !

just been informed by a good mate that utd are keeping close tabs on yann mvila same situation as phil jones dont want to move now but if there hand is forced and suprisingly has heard no mention of an attacking mid {Ed002's Note - Inter, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus, Genoa and perhaps Liverpool & Chelsea showed an interest or enquired about M'Vila this past summer. M'Vila will almost certainly not move until the summer. A very significant bid from Manchester City has already been turned down. With that offer that was made for M'Vila in the summer Rennes have upped their valuation of the player to an extent where Creachcadec has said no Italian team can aford M'Vila. I would expect that there may be interest in him from PSG, Barcelona and possibly Real Madrid by the time he comes up for sale in the summer. I would be astonished if M'Vila moved in January, but his agent is telling clubs that there is a clause in his contract that can invoke a release for a single 20M euro payment to Rennes and then he is looking to negotiate a signing on fee as well.}
