When Bale finally signs for Real Madrid, expect Spurs to make a bid for Nani.

Just20n

Well going by David Levys valuation of players then £60 million would sound a fair price ;)

Mad Hattet

Great.

Why wait till he's gone.

Manchester United do not sell players to 'rivals'. End of.

If this is true we better make them pay like 20m

Yes we do, sold Tevez to city & city won the league, sold Strachan to leeds, & leeds won the league- just sayin.

No name since when are Spurs rivals?

Frazier Campbell
Teddy Sheringham

If Nani is surplus to requirements I'm pretty sure the hierarchy within the club would accept a bid from Spurs but would hope we try and drive a hard bargain like they do to us!

And didn't they sign a Belgian winger last week, supposedly to free Bale up to play centrally? I wouldn't be surprised if they don't join the Rooney race with all the cash they'll have.

Ben

Ben, as it stands they have a better squad and therefore are rivals! I wouldn't be so naieve mate if I were you! If I remember they took 4 points off of us last term and are improving regardless of bales departure or not! And as for nani they are simply not interested in the player

Spurs are not immediate rivals in the sense that city are, hence the inverted commas.

We did not sell Tevez to City, he was on a 2 year loan deal that we didn't take up the option to buy after that. False revisionism won't help you there. Just look at the fuss Heinze made over our refusal to sell to Liverpool, he took us to court, and the court ruled that a verbal policy had been made that United do not sell to rival domestic clubs.
If Nani is sold, it will be abroad, same as Rooney.

We never sold tevez
We never owned tevez

Ramón Calderón (ex Real president) on tv live call saying Ronaldo not on speaking terms with current president and talks with UTD have happened.
Elmo

I'm sure the ex president doesn't have his own agenda or anything.

Hasn't anyone considered the possibility that Calderon might be trying to run for Real Madrid's presidency and rival Perez?

REDFAITH

The elections have recently taken place, Perez ran unopposed, so no elections are due.

He has another 4 years to wait so must be a long term plan especially as he didn't stand recently

I heard him on talksport the other day saying something very similar and it was interesting to hear that Ronnie insisteted with Real Madrid that he stayed 1 more season with united before he left. Ronnie has pined for the devotion and support he had at OT since leaving and showed real class and heart in last years CL match. I don't think it will be this summer but surely he's on his way back sometime.

Jiameuk

I listened to that interview and it just came across that Calderon was incredibly bitter and trying to stitch up Perez at every opportunity.

Calderon does love RM though and you can see that. When asked if players commenting on Bale was a tapping-up trick by RM he moved quick to deny that. I have no doubts in my mind that we have talked with RM, probably at the same time as the Di Maria talks, but I do not think we will pay what needs to be paid to get him.

Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Id happily take a summer of just fabregas (or marchisio, Modric, Gundogan) and Ronaldo. Then next summer replace Rooney if he hasn't improved, a midfielder to replace Anderson/the ageing Carrick and a left back}

S**rt Espana reporting �40m bid gone in
from us for Fabregas this morning- moyes
just is not giving up he wants the fellow
bad (good for him)
Once we get Fab we might as well get
Ronaldo aswell whilst Woody Woodward
is in spain.

That does make sense because it's cheaper to get an easy jet flight from barcalona to madrid.

Coups.

Fabregas and Ronaldo would be the two greatest signings in transfer window history :)

Giants, I think you are forgetting the shrewd signing of Bebe ;)

Sydney!

And Eric Djemba Djemba. so good they named him twice!

Simmo

This website says nothing about a bid for fabregas at that price?

Dream land - I also got a pay rise, wife lost 10 lbs and the kids are behaving themselves.

Red Qudos

Not a mention of this on their website though. Strange.

REDFAITH

Your right Syd, how could I forget ;)

Fab abnd Ronnie would absolutely wipe the smirks off Chelsea and citys faces.

I would absolutely love it (to quote Mr Keegan)

Not even a mention of Fabregas in that paper, I have just been online and checked it.

Simmo

The guy is telling the truth we have bid 40m

Coming out of spain. The next bid has been rejected Fabregas is not for sale. he ain't coming guys. Now the good news Paul Scholes said he might consider giving it another go. The Glazers are elated no cost to the club what a coup.

Id say the best transfer window at the time was kaka ronaldo and benzema to madrid.

Manchester City have made strong enquires for Cristiano Ronaldo. It is understood that the bid was approved by Real Madrid but they stated the player is only waiting for one club that being Manchester United.

Just20n

No way on earth that United would allow this to happen. Fergie and the board just wouldn't allow it.

For all their faults (and there are many) the Glazers know the marketing potential of Ronnie around the world and the implications of him returning to england but not to united would be catastrohic.

I welcome citys interest and think them moving for him will push united into action.

DanW

Cristiano Ronaldo will return with Fabregas. Moyes wins title

Corrected noname

'Moyes wins everything' ;)

These types of rumours aren't good for my health.

Where did this August 8 rumour come from can someone tell me
Dan

Me! I post about this earlier in this website.

There is a big surprise waiting on Aug 8 during Rio's testimonial game at OT.
A player going to sign and will play in the match.

I don't know who is the player. But personally I think its CR. *Fingers crossed*

The testimonial is on the 9th genius. mdc

That would be a BOLT from the blue?

Daily Star reporting United are in advanced talks to secure a sensational return for Ronaldo. Daily Star, so I wouldn't read into it.

There have been talks between MU and RM apparently, but not sure it's about Ronaldo. let's wait and see, but it could be regarding Modric or another RM player. Still, if MU can get GM Motors and Nike onside they could make a Ronaldo move happen. It depends on how RM want the payments to be structured and whether Ronaldo is adamant about joining MU and only MU. I think it's still just a dream at the moment.

Sydney!

I just have a sneaky feeling there is something in this. All of theplanets are aligning.

This would blow the socks off all the doubters,

DanW

I'm stunned at how many people think this is believable! It's the daily star guys! As much as I'd love it to happen, I just can't see it.

Have to admit, I really can't see it either, but. should Madrid sign Bale it will be for a world record transfer, this will push Ronnie's nose out of joint!, can you realistically play Bale and Ronaldo in same team?, neither will want to play second fiddle and although they're both known as wingers, they both usually play down the middle behind the front men. I'm not saying Ronnie will leave or even if he does that we could afford him, but the capture of Bale certainly makes things interesting!, maybe Real are a little more concerned than they're letting on about the possibility of Ronnie leaving.
