Sneijder booked for medical.
PRS

Whens the so called medical booked for, from my understanding there has been no bid made when was this all completed

I really REALLY hope this is true, but can't see it happening mate.

Where the hell do you guys get these stupid news from

Man utd planning to bid 20m for chelsea striker Daniel sturridge.

Would be a good signing. can't see them selling to us.

Not a hope John Joe no strikers coming in so don't waste your keyboards life

But if we sell berbatov i don't think signing a striker would be a bad idea. And i can see him going out this summer.

Stoke bid £6m, yet you jump to £20m? I think you have your valuations all wrong mate.

Sydney!

Dead right sid, haha good buy for 20 mill get real




Bernard

Chelsea want 20m for all who say it's too much

But it is too much simple as united ain't stupid enough to do that

Guardian reporting that city are not in high level talks with arsenal re: narsi

As soon as United's interest in Nasri hit the papers, City were always going to step in. Its not that they need Nasri, he becomes a prized signing purely because they will be seen to have beaten United. That is the shallow thinking of a club whos only claim to fame is that they have "Manchester" in their name and an owner with unlimited wealth. Together with Chelsea, they are effectively distorting the transfer market and, more importantly, the salary structures at all clubs (ie Rooney). If they sign Nasri they will get a good player, but more importantly to them, its the only way they can beat United at anything, and they can only do that by offering ridiculous salaries. This will excite their dullard supporters, but this is what City are all about The Premier League have let ownership models like City and Chelsea conduct their financial dealings without constraint, and that has to affect other clubs. Whilst they are allowed to conduct their business in a competitive environment through artificial financial support, it is inevitable salaries will continue to spiral out of control, clubs will be forced to put up ticket prices, supporters will not be able to afford to go, and more and more clubs who attempt to compete will go out of business. It is only UEFA that can see the damage this kind of ownership is causing, hence the FFP ruling, but the Premier League continue to bury their heads in the sand, happy no doubt, that City and Chelsea can attract the best players to sell the PL brand....If Nasri does move to City on £180,000 per week, it will be a shameful day for the management of the PL, and another nail in the coffin of fair competition and the principal of earning sporting success. In terms of sporting achievement, there is no difference between Chelsea or City winning the league, and Ben Johnson winning the olympic gold medal. Both successes would have been acheived through artificial means, and more and more supporters will ask "what's the point?"

Im a Liverpool supporter but I try to be neutral about post like this............I find it hard to believe the one sided views at times at times.....no one else should buy good players from under uniteds noses but its OK for United to buy Rooney, Berbatove and anyone else who is a potential threat ???

Get real, every football club will go for the best players if they can afford it.

Im a liverpool supporter and our primary requirement for a player is ' does he want to play his heart out just to get a chance to wear the famous red shirt ? If the answer is YES then we are interested, no matter who he plays for or what he costs.

Fergie has been buying all the top UK players all his career, mainly to stop any other teams getting too close to United....If Berbatov had stayed with Spurs, and Rooney stayed with Everton where would United be?........4th or 5th methinks.............Im sorry but its needs saying, United is no different to others, whereas Liverpool have returned to their famous and very succesful history to deal in the transfer market.

its going to be an interesting 12 months

Tel 1949

City are jst inflating the trnsfer market and aint buying any players...look at the sanchez saga..they inflated the mkt for nothng..sanchez does not want them...i fear the same thng may happen wiv nasri story

No cos we would have signed someone else obviously.

the point is that united, liverpool, arsenal etc buy players with money the club has EARNED rather than running off to a sugar daddy and raiding his wallet. and its your club that has more to worry about than united, you've managed 7th and 6th.

Maybe they should of done something when utd went in for rooney everton didn, t want to sell how about as far back as dwight yorke did villa want to sell him remind me how many times did taggert get done for poaching young players in the nineties the difference now is utd dont have exclusive rights to every top player anymore and you lot dont like it and remind us which team has broke the british transfer record the most times you bought success like every team who has ever won the league and regarding the current transfer market maybe you distorted it when you took 80mill for ronaldo but then expect every other team to give you there best players for peanuts

I think people are just jumping the gun. Nasri is not looking for cash. He is gunning for success. Arsenal could have given him all he wants in cash, but they aren't going to change their recruitment policy. He's gutted and wants to leave. Nasri is very smart, just like Sanchez. Players want lots of success and money should follow then. Good luck guys, just wait and see which way Nasri is going to choose and this will be all over by tomorrow.

This is an incredibly naive thing to write, we have been cherry picking the best players around since Fergie started. United dominated with a superb manager, healthy investment and a progressive youth policy. We now have a slightly different policy, since we started to lose players we targeted, to Kenyon. If Nasri comes to United, it will be because he has ambition and prefers our set up. Shouldn't worry about what other teams are doing, sounds a bit like sour grapes and hypocracy. By the way, the point is we are now nineteen.

In reply to the liverpool supporter. im a man utd fan and i agree with you some what. We do buy the players that are threatening us rooney, berbs yorke etc. and yeah we have broke transfer records for players roy keane etc but to say we have bought success is a lil unjust city and chelsea have spent more between them in the last 5 years then all the other prem clubs put together almost. i aint bitter and everyone that knows me knows im a football fan not just a normal man utd fan. something needs to be done to regulate the financial side of the game. buying success with the nevilles, beckham, butt scholes, giggs, o'shea, fletcher. ect isnts bad when you think the spine of our team for the majority of our domination cost us nothing.. yes nothing. all home grown. can you tell me honestly that yaya toure 24 mill and 220k a week is not causing a domino effect for all clubs to pay ridiculous amounts if yaya is worth 24mill than xavi must me 100 mill. this is treatening clubs ability to survive and in years to come we will be left with just a handful of clubs and a format like major league soccer. is it to late for the ffp rules?

Yes we broke the british transfer record several times, so what we did with money we EARNED as a club through success and the turnstiles. Now who the hell have city and chelsea bought with the money earn?

City need to get some scouts n stop poaching the player united chelsea liverpool ect want and just because they have money dosent mean they have history they wont win enything this season united champions again defo

I wrote earlier on ( Im the LFC supporter). Wether we like it or not the motivation to play for the club abd the supporters in many cases no longer exists. Lets face it Rooney threatened to leave United last year.... why ?? CASH and only CASH. He is a good player but hes , like at lot of other players, is holding teams to ransom. thats the reason why kenny first and foremost wants players who will fight for their place and the honour to play.

Thats how United became great.....by using players who fight for their team....eg Beks, Scholes, Giggs etc

Liverpool have cash and they will need to buy some expensive players, however Kenny is getting his backbone of the team to be players who play for the honour....Kelly, Spearing, Robinson etc.

United at some stage are going to have to get back to the 'old' method.....you cant buy success forever....look at your colleagues down the road.

ps even though Im a red....just imagine what teams like everton could do with only 30 million of transfer kitty Look who Sunderland have bought for less than 20 mill in total ( cash from LFC)

They have players who want to play for the shirt too...

I just hope they change to rules and limit the TOTAL spend per annum on wages and transfers.....that way everyone has a chance to win the league....not just the top 4 or 5 teams like its been for years

Tel 1949

United have always had a strong youth pollicy throughout all history - the reason we are a world class team is because we have EARNED success since the beginning And to the liverpool fan - United dont need to go back to th ol ways u nut - cos we are still doing that ... we have in case u didnt notice several major positions to fill - its not often we buy several players.. but this time its necessary and Alex is buying Very wisely - viva le football

30 Jun 2011 18:32:33
even tho city have come in with a bid to sign nasri..he will still sign for united. with united he knows he gonna win trophies.

30 Jun 2011 17:54:27
Nasri to City Sanchez to Barca(prob) Thiago signed new contract Modric staying in London Hazard staying at Lille(prob) C'mon

Rob

We have already signed 3 players and there is another 2 months of the transfer window left we have plenty of time to target and sign more players

Rob, we could not sign another player this window and we will still finish five places & 20 points ahead of you.

Sydney!

Ahead of Real Madrid Sydney ? Hmmm... that's an interesting one

Rob

Who the hell is sydney - and what does he mean?? lol

Nasri going to City, offering him £180,000 a week, FIFA really need to step in with this fair play rule, United buy players through money they have MADE through success, City and Chelsea buy players from Billionaire owners. Nasri would be a complete and utter fool to join City, he said he wants to leave to win trophies, obviously isn't about trophies as you won't win many at City

How can it be Unbelievable when it is all over SSN

All nasri will be at city is another player in between superstars, 3 years later he will be sold, at utd he will be another cantona

United, s success was bought years ago just check who has broke the british transfer record the most difference now is they have got competion for players now gone are the days when utd went to villa told them they wanted dwight yorke told them how much they was paying not a penny more cos they had no competion and got there man stop living in the past we don't want a two team league in England let's get five or six teams fighting it out

FIFA have done something about it. Why do you think all these clubs are spending big? It's the last transfer window before the fair play rule comes in and City are well outside of it.... that's before you account the wages of Yaya, Silva, Milner. Good luck to them They won't be doing it for much longer especially when they can't fill their stadium week in week out

30 Jun 2011 17:06:59
All over sky sports that city are in poll to sign nasri. However, it did say that the other half of manchester were intrested. Nasri said he wanted to win trophies. So he's going to prefer the red half. Evra may be the key for nasri joinining utd...

I think this would be bad if city get Nasri as i have been tracking and hoping united get him

30 Jun 2011 16:35:56
man utd have signed pierluigi gollini from fiorentina. he is nicknamed 'the new buffon'

This is true, fiorntina are said to be furious with united

I get annoyed with all these (the new someones), one they never are and two they say it about players who are still playing.

Sanchez is the new ronaldo.... Ronaldo is only 3 years older than him ronaldo is the ronaldo

Heard that modric signing is imminent and that SAF is also lining up Kaka this would be a brilliant midfield. But I'm sure SAF will bring in someone not on the radar as well who will do well just like Chicaroto.

30 Jun 2011 15:34:25
any chance we will sign a striker as well this summer, ed? {Ed004's Note - I don't think so}

Latest news from a mate on the coaching team at Newcastle. Pardew has made an enquiry about buying Gibson and wants Pogba on loan until January.

Ferguson is reluctant to allow any loan deals to go to Newcastle after the Rossi debacle, but may discuss Gibson IF Barton is interested in joining United as part of the deal.

Why on earth would Fergie want Joey Barton, he has some good games this season and appears to have changed his ways and at times has been impressive for Newcastle, never will be Man Utd quality.

LUCKA MODRIC TO HAVE MEDICAL AT 2.00PM 2DAY RELIABLE SOURCE

Why do people waste their time writing false rumours? Get a god damn life losers.

I have heard this too. was told 1st thing this morning, twitter since 11.30 has also been awash with rumours too..

i hope its true

Jenny

This has already proven to be false. Was posted by some person on Twitter, who ended up posting a derogatory image rather than the 'proof' he promised.

MDJ

This is just a scouser winding us up... ignore

There are no medicals booked for Man utd at the centre for this week or next {Ed002's Note - Syd, in which case you need to use talcum powder for at least anoth week. Sorry/}

30 Jun 2011 12:03:37
David Gill was in Barcelona recently, but not as it was reported to meet Sanchez's representatives, he had a meeting with Xavier Hernandez, as Barcelona are in the process of replacing him with Cesc Fabregas. SAF sees him as the perfect central midfielder to compliment the more industrious players he would be paired, with regardless of his age (31). Remember SAF has bought players in their 30's who have continued to have a great career at United eg. Sheringham & Van Der Sar. There is no value in the market for young creative midfielders at present but SAF knows that there are none better than the older Xavi.

'Bullsht'

Xavi will retire at Barcelona, Iniesta will move to the left making room for Cesc. Iniesta will replace Villa out on the wide left. He's 31 with chronic achilles problems, it will be this problem that ends his career.

Sydney!

This was reported by The Seagull 12 months ago

BS...doesnt xavi have a chronic achiles problem? hence the fabregas interest. SAF has had his fill of signing crocked players e.g. Hrgreaves

30 Jun 2011 11:47:12
mdric to have medical today after utd had 35mil£ bid accepted

No chance modric going to utd, would be good, but he wants chelsea apparantly

30 Jun 2011 10:56:48
Ed002 - Do you believe United have slightly more of a chance in attracting young Spanish players now we have De Gea at the club? Surely if we went up against teams for Mata or Thiago for example, surely with De Gea at the club it would improve our chances 'slightly'?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - It would make little or no difference.}

What so don't you think Luiz, Alex & Ramirez would have any bearing on whether or not Neymar signs for you? Not even slightly?

Sydney!

With de gea in cant he convince aguero abt joining stating the atmosphere at the club and the guidance of sir alex

30 Jun 2011 10:24:11
Ed do you think we will sign a midfielder or rather give chance to our youth because i heard that we are not signing any more players? {Ed002's Note - I suspect the club have a player or two in mind.}

I think we will get snejder or modric in my opinon i think nasri will be good but he is an attacking midfielder who can play on the wing or behind the striker but we have rooney behind the striker and young, park, valencia, and nani. i don't no who to get maybe sami kherdiar of real madrid or maybe a surprise bid for frank lampard occording to my friend's dad who is a manchester united executive what do you think ed?+ {Ed007's Note - I doubt Lampard would move to Utd, and I would like Sneijder to sign up as I have said for months but I don't know what the chances are.}

30 Jun 2011 09:46:34
I'm sure I am not the only one to say I hope I see some movement for Hazard and Nasri today.

MP {Ed002's Note - Any move for Hazard will have to be pretty much immediate as Lille are about to get an offer they cannot refuse for the player from PSG.}

I heard they will offer 20m euros as a first bid, which is pretty high. It's the right time for them to do it though as there are other deals going through as we speak. PSG are IMO spending very wisely. What do you think Ed?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - There will be a higher bid made before the weekend.}

Im worried that hazard will end up being another sanchez story, if 20mil is the first bid it will end up almost 30.

Chelsea have made a huge undisclosed bid for Palermo's attacking midfielder Javier Pastore, which seems to signal the end of their quest for Luka Modric.

Nice copy and paste from the BBC sport headlines section

30 Jun 2011 03:37:36
hi people this is my first time doing this but anyway ED's what do you think about Ever Banega coming in to help out as a DM is there any chance of him coming to OT as he mite not be staying at Valencia next season? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest at this time.}

30 Jun 2011 01:55:24
Not so relevant to this window. But could conner wickams transfer have sir alex behind it? Not go to liverpool in order to pave the way to our club if he proves himself. Given the loose partnership, ex players and loan singings ending up with bruce, some sort of off the rec agreement that any lower league talent coming through alex is interested but not sure of or not needing yet get steered towards sunderland with the possibility of ending up at old trafford. Gives bruce an extra tool in attracting players. Eds its not unheard of is it? Constantine Red {Ed002's Note - I am certain that Sir Alex is not behind his move.}

I think there is 0 chance of us signing Wickman any time ever....hes a Liverpool fan and there is supposed to be a clause in his contract he can talk to Liverpool in a few years time

If that was the case then why did henderson go to liverpool ?
