Heard a few noises from friends in Spain that another bid has gone in for Kondogbia, expected to be about £10 million. Are Moyes two midfield targets Kondogbia & Fabregas with Baines being the left back and that it? I think it could well be. That would certainly plug a few holes and give us a good shot at trophies this season.

I think it is looking increasingly likely that Fabregas is a dead end. He has always said that if Barcelona want him then he will stay. And it certainly sounds like the new manager wants him!
Kondogbia on the other hand is realistic and I think would be a great addition to the squad.

Fabregas is looking increasingly like a dead end. He has always said that if Barca want him then he will stay, and it certainly sounds like their new manager wants him!

Kondogbia, on the other hand, I feel is realistic and would be a great addition to the squad.

I think it would be good business. Still doubtful on Cesc though, I think it would have been done by now if it were going to happen. Still, fingers crossed

A bid from MUFC or Madrid? Heard they were interested as well, could free up Modric if they signed him given that they also added Illarramendi to the squad?

This would be a good summer. Although I was hoping we would sign a winger as well.

Sevilla have already stated that Kondogbia is availablle for less than the figure you have quoted as his buyout clause is reportedly around £8.3m euros so what your saying doesn't make sense.

Agree with cnk on this one, Madrid massive favourites to land Kondogbia with Arsenal also showing interest since backing away from Fellaini. The best we can hope for realistically is that Modric would be more open to a move.

Red Spark

This is only what I have heard. Just relaying information. God knows if its true, interesting never the less. I was under the impression that we have had one bid turned down already.

I thought Madrid cooled interest since they got Illiaramendi?

Iv never seen such a ridiculous transfer offer as the fabregas bid. barcelona are a non selling club, fabregas insisted that he had no intention of leaving. - and there is a sell on clause that means barcelona would have to give a significant amount of the fee to arsenal. The board made this bid knowing the transfer was never going to be accepted by the player or the club, and obviously, therefore, also understood that the transfer of fabregas would never materialise. What does that tell you?

Stop kidding yourselves. Our owners and senior management have no intention of developing the club in the way that prideful fans would idealise. My only hope is that they at least have the commercial sense to understand the risk of not signing quality players.

Its at least possible that we will still invest in players like gundogen. It dosent only have to be south east asian players either. United now have exceptionally good fan bases in the likes of mexico (given the hernandez phenominon) scandinavia, (solsjaer/johnsen. ) and south africa (fortune. )

For better or worse, they do at least understand the value of getting stuck into profitable markets. I really don't care personally. So long as we do keep a british core of players, which we already have, there's nothing wrong with signing players from less well known footballing countries. So long as they get on with it and preferably stop trying to con us fans who are supporting the club at the end of the day.

Hi, with moyes sayin he is happy with the squad he has, I just hope that us chasing cesc is not a smoke screen with utd knowing they won't get there targets but keeping he media off moyes back. I have a bad Feelin bout are so called targets and at this stage of preseason it's worse than city were last season and look what happened to them! Who else could realistically go for in that position that we could afford, we need 4signings and 3 of them need to be world class! We're possibly the biggest club in the world but no one seems to want to come, if we don't get some in and a bad run off results in the first 7/8 games, its going to be a long hard slog with little chance of any silverware! Hope I'm wrong and the yanks splash some serious cash.

Nothin huge long time reader first time poater Nick powell to wigan on loan

Hope not. Get him in. Good enough already. what's wrong with playing youngsters now. Don't want another Pogba situation. Januzaj too if he's good enough now.

Oh hey red nemesis, I am a second time poster myself. God, I love posting.

No name poster, It'd make more sense to allow Nick to go out on loan although he is good enough he won't play too many games. If he went to a low end PL team or a top Championship team he could feature every single week which would benefit him as well as us in the long run.

God man mouse looking after Wigan so mc carthy can move to Everton
