G.A.G.U.S.

I completely agree with you, mate! (I'm not RedMan tho)

I agree in that De Gea is clearly the best young keeper in the world at the minute, to know of anyhow. I personally think we will sign him in the summer as in his press conference relating to the interest from MUFC he said, 'This season I am playing for Athletico.'. Never did he mention beyond this season.
Sanchez is to be MUFCs new no7, when he will sign for United in the Summer. No7 will be free'd up from Michael Owen leaving to a now unknown team. It was going to be to Preston for his last few seasons, but now following the Darren Ferguson situation it is to be no more. The fee for Sanchez should be either 22m or 13m and Macheda on a Season-Long loan, depending on which Udinese prefer.
United will attempt to sign between Marek Hamsik (Slovakia) of Napoli (25m) or Javier Pastore (Argentina) of Palermo. The most likely out of those two is Hamsik, who personally I would prefer as he is a more all round player, where-as Pastore is great at attacking. Hamsik is just as capable of finding the net as Pastore, if not more. Hamsik is a better passer and can defend well too. If you remember Hamsik said he would jump at the chance of joining United if he could.
If either of these two cannot be signed then we will once again move for Steven Defour (Belgium) of Standard Liege.
No strikers will be signed unless injury forces us into the market

I'm not expecting any transfers in january but noone should trust SAFs words in terms of transfers. He would never come out and state that we want to buy some players in january.

We're doing our business behind the scenes and most of the time the media will only know it when we officially present the player.

But the most likely "business" for this transfer window will probably be a loan for Macheda and the recall of Cleverley to have more cover on the wings. Maybe even some small transfers of a few talents but i wouldn't expect someone like Sanchez.

No point in posting your false rumours Ferguson has already said there will be no signings and that is for a fact he sticks to his word {ed's note - just like when he said he wouldn't sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid you mean?}

Now I haven't posted for a few days, but there are a few things I would like to clear up.

1.Berbatov has world class ability, but compared to Ronaldo(fat), Pele, Raul and Batistuta, he is a "decent" striker. What does annoy me though is people saying he is not United quality. He has scored 14 goals this season and still you all shoot him down. What about Drogba? He's having a very poor season, yet nobody criticises him. Reputation? Clearly.

2. Red Man? Torres, Fabregas and Bale? No doubt they would improve the team quite a lot, but realistically would never happen. Torres plays for Liverpool. He would never join United. Fabregas is going to Barcelona, end of. Gareth Bale depends on whether Tottenham finish in the top 4. If they don't, then we will see what happens. If they do, we would have to pay 35mil+ and I don't want United to do that. It's wrong to pay that much on one man who happens to be a decent footballer.

3. Why do people insist on United buying a world class player for every position we need to improve? Who seriously thinks that Pepe Reina could be signed? Does anybody really believe United would spend 36mil on a player in January? The Qatar Royal Family rumour is more believable than that.

4. I believe it was Sydney! who suggested De Gea for the goalkeeper position. It was a relief for somebody to finally see the light. David de Gea is the best young goalkeeper I have ever seen. This guy is going to be better than Van Der Sar. He might even end up being better than Schmeichel. I certainly wouldn't bet against it. Also Casillas was only 18 when he became Real Madrid no.1. He didn't turn out too bad did he? The only fear I have is that Fergie may be too scared to go for De Gea. He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes he made after Schmeichel, but if he signs De Gea, he won't regret it.

5. Can we please stop making reference to North Korea? Some people over there are really suffering. It's not something we should joke about.

6. Somebody asked is Sanchez cup-tied. No, I don't think so. The only way we will sign him in January is if Inter Milan follow up there reported interest in the next month.

I hope all my fellow reds agree with what I have said. I would love to hear Red Man's comments on this.

Is anyone else hoping that SAF brings Cleverley back in January and gives him a real chance in our team?

After watching the SAF interview on Sky Sports this morning, can we please stop all these silly rumours that Und are planning on buying so called superstrs from around the world, we have not got the money no matter what the club says, the Rooney saga was just a smokescreen, to deflect this away from the anti Glazer brigade.

I know Rodwell's best mate, (I posted before) He told me about how Rodwell was out car shopping as he wants to get himself a new Audi - I don't know why but Mike Phelan was on the phone asking him what is he doing, he says am looking for a new Audi, Phelan Says well when you sign for us lad you will be looking at Bentley's not Audi's. Last time i posted i said Im not sure if Rodwell will Sign. Now i know he definatley will sign. Rodwell has even been to fergies house.

@On his list of favourites on Twitter, sites he visits are Manchester United, Udinese Calcio & Colo Colo. He is trying his best to get signed, i will give him that!

Sydney!

Sydney - it now looks like you believe my 'rumour' that i posted on here a good month or so ago. Does this mean that when he signs i will get the credit i deserve?! Mark my words Sanchez is coming with the likelihood of Defour in the summer and i still think we will try for Reina

"When questioned whether the club would be bringing in fresh faces in January, Ferguson replied. "Nope, not at all. Definitely not."

CONFIRMED!

No new January signings! SAF said exactly the same thing last January, and was true to his word.
