Dream on more chance of Bony or Benteke

Apparently we've submit an undisclosed bid for falcao, hope that's true!

I would love that to be true, Sheff, but somehow I doubt it is.

We seem to have an obsession with expensive players wth ropey knees

Hearing United has made a undisclosed bid for Falcao

So now hernandez goes on loan to Real. Woodward is playing a blinder here. How is that helping us?

He's freeing up space and wages.

31 Aug 2014 18:34:28
They are probably paying his wages in full.

That's right blame woody for getting rid of players that cost us money but contribute SFA

It's better to loan them out, we're trimming the squad then next season we will get them back when we're back in Europe

We really need a strong or pacey striker. I mean. How much longer are we going to rely on Van Persie?

I think Real see Hernandez as a useful tool to maintain dominance amoung South American fans. European teams have made a dent in that recently, with aquisitions from Chile, Argentina, Brazil etc. Madrid are trying to tie up their command over the latin speaking world once again. James Rodgriguez comes from a swing state, in the form of Columbia, and Hernandez, the only Mexican with anything to offer a big club, represents another.

Let Madrid take Hernandez. He's a loss in terms of impact from the bench, but if Wellbeck has room to grow, it evens out.

Personally hope that we are making use of these little trades though. Kagawa to Dortmund is a perfect opportunity to get a foot in the door with Hummels. Hope we have lined up something useful like an option or first refusal, next year even if need be.

The Hernandez deal would be perfect cover to make inroads with Madrid for a centre back or def mid.

With all our departures we must be saving millions each month in wages

It would be good if we loaned Real Hernandez and they loaned or sold us Khedira but who knows what our aims are

Isn't khedira on his final yr? Would be awesome to involve him though if nothing comes of Vidal or Carvalho.

RedIsotope - First refusals are worth very little if the club don't want to sell of the player favours a move elsewhere.

If Dortmund did decide to sell Hummels there'd be nothing stopping us matching any accepted bids with or without first refusal. Of course - Dortmund wouldn't be obliged to accept our bid - but they would (when was the last time you remember a club accepting an offer from one club and refusing an identical offer from another unless the second club was a domestic rival?).

Should the Hernandez and Wellbeck moves go through, Wilfred Bony will be the replacement, provided the bid is accepted.

He has a buy out clause so that won't be a problem providing this post ain't rubbish

31 Aug 2014 17:07:04
Dortmund must have at least 3 players that would compliment our squad, I assume nobody was pursued in the return of Kagawa? I would have given 5-10 million plus Kagawa for hummels.

I would of offered Kagawa + 10 or 15 million!

I know what you're saying, i'm going on the assumption that Kagawa is worth 15-20 million.

That would mean hummels is valued at 11 to 16 million. never going to happen and more like 25 to 30 I would think and probably still no interest from dortmund to sell.

Still don't think it would be enough to part with hummels.

Id imagine 20-25 plus kagawa

What is this obsesion with using our players as bargaining tools? We need to clear out our squad in the most businesslike manner possible and that's the bottom line

Doesn't mean the club wants to sell them

Manutd so stupid sell kagawa rather than mata. mata not like fabregas or even kroos. he just from spain. we just buy rubbish from chelsea. if he good mourinho not fool enough to sell him to rival. kagawa is creative and even can score. In burnley, mata shoot like homerun we donot play baseball even can't create anything or good run. Overrated player (rooney, mata). if manutd sold januzaj and zaha, then we can just hoping to play in premier league again next season. Stupid manu.

{Ed004's Note - it is manutd or Manchester United}

Hi Ed002, Is there any truth to the rumours that Real Madrid are tabling an offer for hernandez?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I am sorry but I am not aware of a bid.}

Loan deal agreed, just wages to be agreed according to Balague.

Reports suggesting utd may complete deal for de jong sometime today!

Vidal or Carvalho to Nigel De Jong would be less than thrilling.

De Jong seems such a let down when players like Vidal and carvalho are available although he would be a massive improvement on fletcher again the fact that we have gone in for him and blind so late in the window points to the inability to get other players in. Why wait til the last day to sign players he had at the WC. Still need a proper CB think all our problems stem from the back how many title contending clubs across the big European leagues would smalling, jones and Evans get into. your correct 0, the whole team looks disjointed it is like watching England at the moment

I think if De Jong comes in today it will allow the club to go big tomorrow knowing they have a fall back in place. Otherwise they will need to work on multiple deals.
The shame is if De Jong and blind had come in early we would be happy now but as a last resort it feels like last year all over

De Jong is exactly what we need!

I agree syd, but de jong would do a job for us! He is meant to be back up incase carvalho vidal don't happen! I would get him any way as he is better than what we have then hopefully one of the other two come if not both!

31 Aug 2014 12:14:29
But Vidal is either unavailable, not interested or his knee is too much of a concern or he would have been in weeks ago. i'd prefer Carvalho at this moment in time but were not the only one in. De jong would be a good plan b and would bring something that were lacking. Better than watching Darren struggle all game every game.

MrE, or MU will not pay up for whatever reason?

31 Aug 2014 12:46:17
Syd maybe but if the asking price is only 40 million euros and we just paid more than that for di Maria I'm not certain its a money issue.

I think its a combination of he's either unsure of us or settled where he is and were unsure over his knee, a post Hargreaves hangover.

I don't think glazers have any issue with paying out, but having been stung a few times with the likes of Hargreaves, berbatov, etc they are going to insist on the right signings, no dodgy medical conditions and the right age bracket.

Id love de jong at utd. he's a hard ass player that would be good for us. I would love vidal instead but i'm not sure it will happen. better get a midfielder who has experiance in england and who is a hard tackler and de jong fits that and is quiet cheap. can't wait for the excitment of transfer deadline day

Be a good signing.
De Jong knows how to play the system, LVG knows what de Jong can do first hand. De Jong also has experience in the league. It's a safe option rather than spending heavily it possibly not working out for whatever reason.

De Jong now, Strootman in January. i'd be happy with that.

How slow is our back 3 add to that de Jong and we are exposed to any sort if pace

Schneiderlin would be a better option than De Jong. Just read Andy Mitten say we bid for him a couple of days ago and might return with a better offer. Can any of the Eds confirm this?

31 Aug 2014 07:44:46
Rumours(twitter) of rene meulmsteen returning. Is that to replace giggs?

Also a lot of people here have been hearing whispers. Please do get yourself checked for schizophrenia

I heard a whisper about this time last year. It told me to act as a club official, fly to Spain and sign Herrera

Sly Spurts were also reporting this, but have recently changed to saying this is not going to happen - I guess it was just a made-up rumour.

30 Aug 2014 15:30:12
Ed002, with Blind confirmed, are we still targeting another CM?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
