do find it strange what rooney said on sky sports he was looking forward 2 transfer dead line day is there a signing after all he was all smiles it is in utds web page as well does he no some thing we dont i hope so come on fergie suprise us all what do u think ed {Ed007's Note - I think Wayne has been a very naught boy.}

So true. Its like he knows something is going to happen - and he can't wait to tell someone haha

NICE ONE wazza

Can someone post a link? I cant find it. Thanks.

MUFC Till I Die

I also cant find it, do you think it has been "removed" of the united webpage?!

JWalk

It would be nice but he probably just meant that he'll be glad when its all done with.

TK-Red

Glad when it's all done with?! it's not like he hears any of it.. hasn't got much to do with him unless a player is coming in

He might know something as when he was going to leave because he felt we wernt going anywhere and maybe fergie promised him a big summer signing?

Mr No Name. How many times do we hear players or managers say "I'll be glad when the window is closed to the speculation can stop and we cant get on with the season". Do you not think that is eternally more likely than him playing games with the media? If the players knew anything then SAF would be sure they said absolutely nowt. Its common sense mate.

TK-Red

Why would rooney be glad when its all over?!! that theory doesnt make any sense

Story out of manchester swap deal for modric plus cash, berbatov going other way,

30 Aug 2011 21:48:30
My fiances auntie who works within Spurs admin says things are starting to get busy with regards to a deal. She says rumours within their department seem to point towards a Modric and Berbatov swap deal!! - with remaining cash obviously included.

Also [although you guys may not be interested] Spurs may try to offload Crouch as well.

Very interesting. Could Sir Alex be trying to nab both Modric and Sneijder on deadline day. I'd prefer just one, as Ando and Cleverly have earnt their chance to be starters.

Will let you guys know if I hear anything else.

DD

Well to be honest if we got modric and sneijder, i wouldn't complain.. midfield equal to barca! But it just wont happen lol

30 Aug 2011 21:33:38
Really thought SAF would have sanctioned a move for Luka Modric do you guys think he will end up moving to Chelsea?

I'm not involved with MUFC but i have media contacts and the rumours doing the rounds at the minute are: Kucszak (sorry for spelling) to CSKA Moscow, Macheda to Newcastle or Sunderland, possibly Everton but wages are a concern for them. Berbatov has been the subject of several bids in the last 12 hours with Spurs the only British club bidding alongside Juve, PSG and Bayern Munich.

Utd may decide to keep him after Wellbeck's injury and possibly do business in January. Sneidjer is a tricky one. SAF values him at £25M max but Inter want £30M + add ons. The wages are not a prob, just a smokescreen by Inter. SAF is prepared to go with the squad he has and review things in January.

That would be silly because he would be cup tied.

30 Aug 2011 21:21:54
Its on DailyStar that Wesley Sneijder has agreed personal terms to join united.
Apparently he has agreed terms for 190k per week and Inter are close to signing Zarate from Lazio

www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/208592/Wesley-Sneijder-could-still-join-Manchester-United-/

It was also on the daily star website that we had signed nasri and they even photoshopped him into a united jersey, worst newspaper ever for info...

A.S.H.W.I

Stories like this have been around all Summer.

This story was out before Sneijder said he was staying at Inter... wake up!

Wrong this was after sneijder said he "staying" wake up

30 Aug 2011 20:26:29
The word is Mauro Zarate to Inter and Sneijder to United. Nike heavily involved in brokering the deal.

Why would a multi billion dollar company get involved with paying toward a deal for ws when our owners are f@?*ing billionaires? get real for gods sake....andog

Because Nike provide man utd with their kit and Sneijder has a contract with nike so if man utd sign sneijder he can help nike better with their promotions and nike get more money, simply

Andog are u stupid or something . Nike who sponsor both players and both teams are bringing them all together. Then Nike who sponsor the players are offering them more money for visual rights as , Nike will make more money for the two players to switch clubs. This has been said before.



JOE

Andog, i think its you that needs to get real, it is not unknown for sponsors to be heavily involved with transfer negotiations. Whoever suggested that Nike are involved in any Sneijder deal are probably correct.

Andy B

Haha brilliant ! well if thats the word then it must be true thanks for the heads up ! sorry malcolm i thought u were goin to disapoint us again but these 2 signings make up for it

I'm sick of wes I think I would rather c his wife come
Jred

I bet you would like to see his wife come.;)

I hope this is right, according to the daily star wesley sneijder has agreed personal terms with man utd, if this is true then expect a busy day tommorow {Ed007's Note - The Daily Star??? Does that even have sport pages in it?}

Didn't Daily Star say we would hijack Nasri also?

It's also on Cruch Sports (whoever they are!). I really would like this to happen. In fact, to misquote a certain K Keegan "I would love it, just love it, if we got him". LOL.

Wesley Sneijder to agree terms to sign with Manchester United either this transfer window or the next transfer window

I highly doubt he'd come next window when he would be unavailable for europe. Is this just a hunch or do you have a source? I for one hope he signs tomorrow.

Situation

And if that doesn't happen , then there's always next summer.

It will have to be this transfer window or never, there is no way SAF & Gill will sign him next summer, its now or never, the only player i think they will look at next summer will be mario gotze. i would so love to see WS in the red of manchester but now believe this will not happen

UNITEDFORLIFE

I'm gonna have to agree with unitedforlife, as much as i think sneijder is perfect for us! I can not see us getting him next window and it definitely won't happen in january..

It is a now or never situation i think, would absolutely love to read that MUFC have signed Sneijder!

Ozwald

Now or never. If we miss out now then next summer he will be older, endure another injury, or anything at Inter. No risk letting him come here next year if he doesn't come now.

30 Aug 2011 19:27:12
I'm not one to say let us get Sneijder over Gotze, Kagawa, or some other young talent but there is def plenty of time. His deal from Real Madrid to Inter took 8 hours. Anything can happen.

If we got gotze or kagawa, would message would that send to cleverly? we wont get another young midfielder to develop when we have a project in tomas cleverly already! I see Sneijder as a much more likely candidate because he would bring experience which we could do with at the moment, following the recent loss of many experienced players from our squad (o'shea, brown, neville, scholes, VDR although he's a keeper.. haha)

I don't think Kagawa or Gotze addition will discourage Cleverley at all. If anything, make him compete harder. When we added Jones, Evans was well aware that he had to work harder for top spot. Anything can happen to Cleverley or Anderson. Cleverley is still the future but doesn't addition will make discouraged.

30 Aug 2011 19:02:49
Man Utd will sign Sneijder on Wednesday evening in a 34mil deal which see him earning 175k a week. I evn believe that man utd are going to sign two top players tommorrow

You must be an Idiot! Oh no, maybe you are just sick.

30 Aug 2011 18:29:21
i don;t know what to belive any more the papers are saying something different while united saying something different, also Sneijder i wish he will come 2morrow pls come

Mate he dont come on here that is the only thing im sure of regarding sneijder.
so no point in begging.

Hahah i nearly opened a twitter account to hound him!

i wonder if the last transfer will be Daniele De Rossi could well be signing tomorrow ?
as Fernando Gago Madrid to Roma happening .
shi@@y signing Hargo to go with barry, de jong, yaya, surley no room at the inn for de rossi.

good signing if it happens with pogba coming through in a few years time !

Roma are trying to tie de rossi down to a new contract right now guys.

If de rossi moves it will be to city! they want everyone to stop other teams getting em!

30 Aug 2011 17:09:46
Sneijders wages have never been an issue in any proposed transfer he is desperate to play for Utd and will happily take a pay cut, the deal was always going to go to deadline day, Theres a good chance it will happen but as yet its not definate, I hope it does but if not we still have a more than capable squad.

Concerns about the depth of the squad. We have seen 9 first team squad members leave with possibly more still to go and as of today only 3 new signings and a few loanees returnings. Be interesting to see what happens in the next 24 hours

Sneijders wages were always the issue ,he wanted more than 40 million over the term of his contract. Please don't ask again how i know.

If it wasn't his wage (which i don't think it was either because it's obvious he wants to play in england and he's the kinda guy to go to a club for trophies and success rather than money, so united is perfect for him) what is the reason it's taken so long, inter not wanting to sell?

His wages were NOT the issue its takin so long coz inter don't want to sell and in Europe ( except England) handing in a transfer request is not the done thing

30 Aug 2011 15:52:03
There will be no more signs for us in this transfer window!!

PB MUFC

There is no point in saying because you don't have a clue, and everyone else here knows that too so they won't believe you! we may as well all play some pokemon until the window closes..

I have it on good authority that at least one "no smoking in stadium" sign is going up today

ferguson wants Affeley of barcelona in a deal worth £15mil after missing out on Sneijder

30 Aug 2011 14:34:07
Wonder if Ferguson and gill telling the truth about no mote signings...is it poss that deal with sneijder is already done and just dealing with fine print? So technically he is already with us!! Just a view

These Sneijder fanboys are getting really sad now.

REDFAITH

LOL
it must be very fine print as its taken almost the entire transfer window.

Arsenal have had a 40 mil euro bid for Goetze turned out according to rafa hongistein the main man in germany........

Arsenal bid 25m euro, not 40m euro.

Sources... Honigstein & Duncan Castles.

Sydney!

Interesting G?ɬ?tze/AFC development. Dortmund saying they turned down 40m bid last week. now their time to spin, me thinks

Thats what Honigstein just tweeted.

I said it yesterday and I will say it today.. If I win the euro millions tonight I will buy him for united....

YES

oxford red....

Honigstein believes Dortmund saying 40m euros is Dortmund's way of starting an auction for the player at that price. But Arsenal offered 25m euros for Gotze. Duncan Castles is a very very good Arsenal source. And come on it's Arsenal, no way would they go in with a 40m euro first bid.

Sydney!

Oxford red.
~Unfortunately you wouldnt get it paid out in time...

Simon

Not sure if I believe this apparent RUMOUR - when people post lies and untruths on the internet, the world is a sad place.

30 Aug 2011 13:18:16
We may not be signing but are there any signs of players leaving Gibson, Macheada, Diouf, Kuszczak??

I still cannot believe with the massive clear out including the names above we have not yet signed sneijder or anyone who demands high wages. id say we have nearly halved our wage bill!

Plus sales plus winnings from champ league and league and cup games plus sponsers plus new sponser plus Ronaldo sale.
We have spent 50 million on relatively cheaper wage demanding players.
So where is the money? we can easily afford another big wage bill player.
Id say we are paving way for one.
Fingers crossed today or tomorrow we have the man 90% of us want.

Right im off to refresh the page see if anything else is going on... lol.


Simon

Gibson and fed to sunderland i have read

Simon

We can afford a high wage player mate, and the plan was to bring one in (Sneijder), but you cannot get held to ransom, still there's time for someone to come in.

Sydney!

We should send Mac and Diouf to Everton together....

They only have beckford and Saha (lucky to play 50%) so they may get a lot of playing time together..... if any good could get them both back next term and let owen and Berb go....

oxford red

Alright lad. just popped on to see if rumours about macheada maybe coming to newcastle on loan are true, does anyone know? also great result the other night against arsenal, love it. which to me says you dont really require a big waged player, yr doing class as it is. cheers.
toon col

Hope so toon col.
He a good player and a loan in the EPL swill make or break him.
Although id prefer him at sunderland.,

Lol, dont send him to the mackems, after all they will be going down soon hehe. cheers for that tho.

Talk Sport reporting Owen Hargreaves to sign for City. Nice bit of mischief making by Mr Mancini. Can't see why and where they would play him but guess it would suit Hargreaves down to the ground to become a permanent bench warmer and get paid mega bucks for doing so.
Busby 58

30 Aug 2011 12:57:20
Hargreaves just had medical at Bridgewater Hospital.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new guys but wesley sneijder is staying at inter

www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/08/30/manual_082528.html&BID=165

3rd repost please read previous posts mate.
Its quite as to not have other clubs intervene.
Sneidjer has not said there is no chance,. As to not lie to fans etc.

30 Aug 2011 12:34:17
its quiet from ot still think at least 4 players to be sold/loan im convinced we will sign cm , its modric or sniejder has to be to compete in the cl ,only 36 hrs to go im enjoying all the rumours thou kaka earlier on here pmsl in saf we trust . dazzler70

30 Aug 2011 11:51:12
Sky did report sneijder staying at inter and they are always spot on but why did they no mention tat in the same conversation he said anything can happen IMO I think the deal is on he has been advised to say wat he has said in order to stop other clubs makin bids which will pump the price up an could end up ruining a his chance of a move to us he does not want all this messin around. Get out the red carpet he will be wit us shortly {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't say Sky are always spot on mate.}

Yeah i definitely wouldn't agree with you in saying Sky is always correct, they're really not.. constantly putting up stories and taking them down? i wonder why.. haha

30 Aug 2011 11:37:42
Hi Guys - just a quick word on the transfer window. After a dismal window for us reds, SAF is looking to buy 2 more players to clinch the title from the grasps of City.
1) A Centre Mid. This will NOT be Sneijder - he has said he will not join us. Chelsea will sign him instead of Modric. SAF will bid for Kaka - as the Real Madrid star is unsettled in Madrid.
2) A winger. Although Young looks good on the left, the right wing is proving to be a real headache for SAF. After Nanis indifferent performances this season, Ferguson will make a deadline day bid for Frank Ribery, in the region of 35m.
So Ribery - 35m
Kaka - 18m rising to 22m with add ons
This will all be completed by Wednesday night. Mark my words. REDS FOREVER

We have valencia for the right wing, shut your jibba jabba FOOL

To clinch the title from Citys grasp - my god your dramatic!

That did make me laugh a bit so keep it up!

Why sign another right winger? valencia will ba back soon. Ribery is not the player he was either!

I have never heard such a crock of sh1t.

Sydney!

Awful rumour.
At least have something to back it up.

Mind you if you put kaka and Ribery together and divide there letters number down in the ABC and multiply by 12 + 4 it spells Man united with each number according to letter.

Simon.

Good news - I'm going to be so pleased when this finally happens. Do you know what squad numbers Kaka and Ribery will get? Much obliged

Are you insane, its 3 games into the season, Nani will be fine (In all honesty I prefer Antonio though)

Sneijder, that will be all

Ummm... nani's indifferent performances?
Valencia still to come back
Not sure Ribery is needed nor on recen performances would i say he would improve the team that much.
Kaka is a good shout but far too quiet in my opinion for anything like that happening.

30 Aug 2011 11:21:12
Ed wat do you make of Sneijders comments ? Although he has said he is staying why has he given a scope of speculation saying "Anything is possible in football" {Ed007's Note - I think he just said it to annoy me.}

He has annoyed everyone here...he should have just said i'm staying...but i see no developments from United's camp so i guess its all over..

30 Aug 2011 11:02:46
Looking through the BBC Sportsday Live and came across this...

Posted at 9:57: Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder expects to remain at the Serie A club this season following the departure of Samuel Eto'o to Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala. Sneijder told Dutch newspaper AD: "It was either me or Eto'o to leave Inter and since he has now gone there is no need for Inter to sell me."

No NEED, but if an offer comes in around £35 mil i don't think they'd say no!

Yeah exactly, I personally don't think we need him, but a bit more experience in midfield would be a great help. If rumours are true, he is taking to sponsors today. Maybe Nike? Possible deal? :P

30 Aug 2011 10:10:06
Well Sky Sports has now removed the article mentioning Meulensteens comments regarding Sneijder and are now reporting that Sneijder has insisted he is staying at Inter, although reading his full comments he still says 'something could happen'...

30 Aug 2011 09:36:26
How much truth is there in this supposed £25million bid for Vidic from Anzi?

DB-Red

30 Aug 2011 08:19:02
Id prefer Macheda to go on loan to Everton. Moyes is no pushover and with Macheda being very arrogant he needs a strong manager.

It would be a very good loan deal for him as Everton only have Beckford and Saha and Saha is injury prone and Beckford is ok at best.

30 Aug 2011 06:28:18
Quotes regarding Sneijder are coming in thick and fast now..here are a few
"I'll stay at Inter," said Sneijder. "I do not think I will go at this point of the market session.

"Manchester United? Everything is possible in football, but I do not think that this time something will happen."

Sneijder added: "It's true that over the past two years I have changed teams on the last day of the transfers window, but I do not think that will be the case this time."


This is from Moratti:
“Sneijder? Don’t let me talk….” he continued. “As for the defence, things may change.

“Any irrefutable offers for Wesley? Perhaps from Milan,” he joked.

30 Aug 2011 00:31:19
Macheda going on loan to Newcastle United for the season. One year loan deal no recall clause. Be good for him to go on loan but Newcastle, didn't Rossi go on loan there and hardly get game time.
