hey Ed what are the changes of signing w.sneijder in dis summer ?
And how much he wil cost to us..
=yaSH = (INDIA) {Ed002's Note - Not very good.}

No chance what so ever, United no longer interested. We we're offered him on deadline day in the summer for £30 million, but he wanted £220,000 a week. No way were United gonna pay him that.

United Till I Die 1987

You say that like it's a bad thing Ed!

DodgyBanter

I dont think hes worth it, we need someone reliable and hes had a poor season.

Faz

Seriously? Would anybody really want him after the way he's yanked our chain? There's much younger & much better out there.
20 Rising

Sneijder would be excatly what we need class act on his day. Again as I have said before where is the evidence he held us to ransom last year all media based stories. He wants out of Inter and I think we could do a deal for him plus get him within our wage structure. We badly need experience in midfield and after last nights showing we need about 2 new midfielders.

Damian M

Yeah but what if we sign him for a big fee and he has a really poor season like this one? what we need now is consistent midfielders, if only we could make scholes younger.

Not 100% on this one but just been told Evans isn't at the Etihad :-( Come on United.

I did say a while ago both Morrison and Pogba would be off........................ Joined Juventus on a free. We will get some form of compensation though probably a £1 million.

United Till I Die 1987 {Ed004's Note - Where has this been confirmed?}

Don't think it's hit most media yet but he's off.

United Till I Die 1987 {Ed004's Note - Shame if he has decided to leave, but isn't he with the squad tonight?}

Just a quick question...

I noticed that UTID1987 has claimed a few things recently so, does anyone know if we have any reason to believe him?

We don't, ignore him.

GDS

'We don't, ignore him.

GDS' lol.

News will start filtering through in the next day or so. Maybe using the words 'gone to Juventus' was the wrong choice of words he's 'agreed to join Juventus'. Sad to see a talent like that go but we're Manchester United we'll move on :-)

UTID 87
Where does your info come from fella, give us a reason to believe what you say....
HERBIE

Sometimes people should take a leap in faith and believe someone else! I do genuinly hear things I just want to tell other fans so they know too :-)

''pogba has decided to join juventus , source sky sports italia
jred'

United Till I Die 1987

@ HERBIE I honestly cannot and will not say. I do hear things every now and again and actually don't post half of what I do hear. I will always post things I hear that I feel not everyone else knows about.

Why does everyone think that we have basically signed Kagawa? Its just speculation for now, its like some people are already welcoming him to the club. All the press have said is that he is leaving Dortmund, that he dreams of United, and that he will probably come to England. There are so many teams in England that he could go to, Arsenla being one of them. We will see what happens, i'd rather have Hazard if i'm honest, but lets wait and see!

RedDevil19

I would take a guess and say that Kagawa's attitude is better than Hazards and he may also not be as tempted as Hazard to a move to RM or Barca in the future. Not saying I wouldn't love Hazard at United tho, he would definately be fantastic

A.R

Kagawa is practically a United player trust me.

Kagawa looks like hel be in a united shirt soon,
Ive not seen him play, has anyone seen him and anyone got any opinions on him?

Go On You tube..... but German correspondent on talk sport earlier...said he was the "real deal"...pacey and can use both feet...plays behind the front two and scores goals.. on Yout ube there is various matches showing what he can do....very tricky player and does not get easily knocked over ..unlike Park... him and Hazard would be ideal with Martinez and a left back...

Okay thanks mate, and i agree with you fully kagawa and hazard would be great, martinez would be a dream come true looks unlikely though :

30 Apr 2012 21:48:54
This is one of the few good videos on Youtube that actually shows Shinji Kagawa's passing and vision rather than just his goals.

Ozwald

Thanks ozwald was struggling to find one which shows what we actually need him for creating chances!

Faz

{Ed022's note - www.player-profiles.co.uk - there's a profile on Kagawa for you.}

30 Apr 2012 13:38:33
now seeing arsenal and chelsea both have got deals sorted before euro 2012,

Even though he wont be playing in them, I hope to see gaitan confirmed soon!

I hope to see some deals confirmed before euro 2012 but not gaitan's

I second that, it wouldn't be the worst signing but in my eyes i would hate to see the signing go through..

Munian rather then Gaitan any day!!

''' Gill is set to fly to france to reached agreement with Hazard club were he is closeing in on Chelsea move ' a source in france today ' said ' we are Expecting Gill to arive Tomorrow to try and clinch a deal for Hazard in the coming days 'Gill will also meeting Psg Reps to see if Berbatov deal can go trough to Psg this Month 'United still have an outside chance of signing Hazard ' there set to offer 30 million this week to steal him from Chelsea..

Whats u say?
=yaSH= (INDIA)

I say i cannot understand 3 words here {Ed002's Note - It is from a blog dated January 17, 2012.}

Lol @ Ed. Bt yaSH i think you need to calm down in a good way. There are tons of articles that are published abt Utd's teransfer possiblities, you'll hv endless sleepless nights & so will we if you keep posting these copy-paste articles.
Grab a beer & enjoy the rumours, laugh at the silly ones & put in your views where you differ. Cheers mate..!

IBleedBlue

United have shown interest in Gaitan, but they don't want to spend over 22m.
Hazard plays in the same positions and will cost at least 32m being the quotes from his club. Thing i think would pay that as the Glazer's have promised 30-35m is available for a star player. Paying that much for a player will pretty much have him in the team every week.
LW Nani (maybe) RW Valencia (no) CF replacing Welbeck (maybe) even though the partnership has been blessed as the new Cole-Yorke. Could be a graet signing although it could turn out to be a Veron luxury deal. I also don't like his comments of England first then to Spain in a few yrs comment.
So for me if Kagawa is now for sale, i'd honestly prefer him. Think Park is on his way and is a great player aswell as marketing interest in Asia.

United are in Official talks for Hazard

30 Apr 2012 11:10:28
If scholes giggs and park appear on the team sheet I believe we should be very worried. Hope I am wrong but SAF tends to go with experience for the tried and trusted

Red Man

I would be just as worried if we see Jones on the teamsheet. Think rafael has improved recently too but would like to see Smalling at RB

I take it you mean all three and not just Scholes?! The Ginger Ninja has been our best player in 2012!

DodgyBanter

Dodgy

Yes I meant all three as I feel it would be a potential disaster

Red Man

You guessed right on both counts :(

...Dortmund rate Kagawa, 23, at around £15 million, but with no shortage of suitors for the playmaker the final transfer fee could be much higher.

Kagawa has scored 16 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions this season.Impressive ! Isn't it ?
Ur thoughts mates....

asif da devil

I don't know enough about him to be honest, however those stats are impressive as i wouldn't exactly say the German league is weak.

Del boy!

Kagawa's agent said last year that he would be a united player now if he had not broken his foot,joeyored

His stats look good, but every time I've watched him,(apart from YouTube, where even Crouch looks graceful),he looks like a slightly better, more attacking version of Park. However, I admit I may have just seen half a dozen games where he was below par. I would rather go for Marvin Martin, very good all round midfielder, or Strootman who looks similar. I haven't seen to much of Strootman mind. I would certainly try to get Ba or Cisse. Ba has a 7million buy out clause apparently and Cisse is only on loan. Baines is another possibly for 5-7 million. if we could get Ba for 7million,Baines for 7million and Martin for 20million and Villa for 25 million we would be the force that we usually are again. add young Clyne that would be around 60 million. Berbatov 7million,Park for 4million, Anderson for 8million and Hernandez, the great falling down Djemba-Djemba of the opposing penalty area,for 10million 1.5 million on De Laet that would bring us in just over 30 million and the yanks part with 30 million (the most I could see them parting with) we'd have the cash. I would also retire Scholes and Giggs and pass on Owen. The ginger prince and the Welsh wizard have been legends. These days anyone who has a couple of good seasons is called a legend, but in these two it's the correct term My heart swells with pride to have been lucky enough to have seen them play, However, time has caught up with them. Giggsy has only looked good in fits and starts this season. Scholsey was magnificent against lesser teams for a month or two, but last night against s**tty he looks worse than I've ever seen him. Let's remember them as the world beaters they were and not the aging has beens that they will become if they keep on going.Football is a game for young people.
With the players I suggest we could have - De Gea, Raphael, Smalling, Vidic,Baines. - Valencia,Mvila,Martin,Nani -Rooney and Wellbeck. In modern day football you need two teams and our second team would be Lindagaard (spelling),Clyne,Jones,Evens,Evra - Pogba, Carrick, Tunnicliffe, Cleverley Young -Ba. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but even if a miracle happens and we still wine the league, this outfit look far stronger than our aging stars and sub United standard players (Hernandez,Anderson etc). It's time for revolution not evolution

Ed, any chance of doing a transfer competition , and whoever gets uniteds transfers ins right gets something next to their name ie, red devil or united logo if it is possible to do, or if not then just for fun.

Winston {Ed007's Note - There are too many anonymous posters to do anything like that. I wanted to do a page for it predicting league placings and cup winners etc back in the summer, but no point of endless lists from multiple anonymous people. It's like the lists of players/wishlists/ or what the team might be etc, with no names attached it would just be boring lists after MOTD or the new FIFA comes out. Although it has got better with people using names so maybe something we can look at doing, I will run it past Sheldon and the geek squad. I don't have a problem looking after it if the geek squad set it up and it is taken seriously by people.}

Maybe you should make it essential for users to add a name before they post, otherwise they cant post? If you get me

Rumours & gossip

People have said Clyne, Gaitan & now Kagawa are so called done deals.
We all know the transfer window isn't open yet.

Would anyone be surprised if we end up buying some
Cameroon LB no ones heard of from the French Div.1
Followed by some Finland youth superstar prospect.
Then finally someone from the Portugese Div.3 AGAIN for a rip off price tag of 7.4m

We always sign some players that make us scratch our head and think.........what?,Who? & how did he get here signing.

We really don't need a big change, though I would like at least one superstar or potential superstar signing.

Modric, DeRossi, Hazard, Javi Martinez would get in the first team. The made up Finland player would probably end up being a Kleberson, Miller, Djemba type and end up at Kidderminster Harriers in the end.
