I find it very hard to understand how a player (sahin) that cost £8m and spent most of the season on the bench has managed to more than double his value to £18+. I'm not saying he isn't good and I'd love to see him at OT but, it's ridiculous if true that RM would expect in the region of £20m for him

JaZz

He was in the last year of his contract when he signed for madrid

So is RVP now and he's at the back end of his career but, that doesn't seem to be effecting his valuation

Bid 12m _ 15 m max he for me is an upmarket carrick

That is why he was only £8m but the guys got a point...

Andyred

Irrespective of appearances its apparent what in this climate you could easily quote for the player. Plus its Real Madrid.....we just got Kagawa for £12million which was great because of his contract situation. He is easily a £25millon player at least.......so

lewis.no.9

If being in his last year of contract was the only reason then that would mean kagawa would technically be valued at around 38 million.

Sao Paulo vice-president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes has denied reports they have agreed any deal with Inter Milan over the transfer of Lucas Moura.

03 Aug 2012 19:54:07
Marco Branca, the technical director Inter Milan sent to Brazil, returned today and there are no announced plans for him to return. Manchester United are thought to still have representatives in the country and Sao Paulo vice president, Jesus Lopes, was quoted earlier by Lancenet as saying "I was with Juvenal yesterday (Wednesday) and today (Thursday). Just to sit down to negotiate with Manchester, but we were not satisfied with the amounts."

Anders Lindegaard has signed a new four-year deal, great news!

Tommy

Its great news but going to be great competition for goalkeeper, not sure if that will be great! One of them great prospects will spend alot of time on the bench, hope De Gea and Lindegaard are prepared for a long difficult rivalry :)
- Newton Heath

Lindegaard will push on and prove he is a quality keep er that we got for peanuts! downside is the de gea is an expensive no.2.

Ed2- do you we will sign Moura or do think it will be a nearly 1 again!

PBMUFC {Ed002's Note - The situation with Lucas Moura is very complicated and it could drag out all summer and come to nothing. Chelsea made two bids earlier in the year and Inter also ma de a bid in January. Real Madrid looked to a deal involving another player going in exchange but that came to nothing. His agent would prefer a part ownership deal with Inter. Manchester United remain interested in the player but probably not at a price that is acceptable to Sao Paulo as we have seen. Inter have made a further bid and will return with a player plus cash option (although Coutinho has stated he does not want to be included in the deal). Anzhi have made one bid but Iam told the player would never agree a move to Moscow (where their players are based). I would not discount any of the clubs, nor would I discount him staying until the end of the year and discussions starting again in January. The feeling from someone in Brazil is that he thinks that Manchester United will probably not make any further offer for Lucas Moura as they feel they have already bid to the best value of the player. He cannot be certain there will be no higher bids but he can be certain that if there are then the club would be paying over the odds for the player. Chelsea ended up in the same position.

Furthermore, there were discussions in Colorado in mid July which he was involved with surrounded a part ownership deal that would see the player move to Italy for two years at some point and then a full buy out of his rights resulting in either a sale or perhaps a move to the part owning club. It was considered to be impractical. I have not really explained this but Inter also have an effective advantage financially as they are not bidding for the same thing as Manchester United. I really don't want to get in to the finances too much as I have watched with amusement all day as folks have tried to understand simple math like floundering beached whales.}

Ed002 dont you get bored of repeating everything {Ed002's Note - Man it is hopeless sometimes - could drive a man to drink. But it may give them something to ponder as they must have burned out on Math 101 today.}

Ed002 forgets we are mere mortals just living on a whim and a prayer.

i hope its nice and lonely up there number 2

love you really

Would it be possible for you to fully explain the figures for those of us that would understand. Then someone might be able to "Brian Cox" it to make the simpletons understand! {Ed002's Note - There was simply too much to make it worthwhile. Sorry.}

Arsenal to out bid Utd for Victor Wanyama 9mill plus ad ons Big Joe in the know

Hope not great young player

That lot wont out bid us top player

I hope not, i think anything under 10 mil would be a steal for this player.

Mourinho says Sahin can leave this month if he so chooses. I think it would be best to get him on a season long loan. He seems to be a little injury prone and a loan would see how he fairs against the much more physical EPL. If United do decide to purchase him i think it would be a massive gamble. With Arsenal sniffing at the player for a season long loan i think it would be worth a shot if we offered a season long loan with an option to buy.
What you guys think?
James.

I would buy him and reunite him with Kagawa in midfield. Cleverley, Sahin and Kagawa would be some midfield three.

Sydney!

I would do exactly the same thing as Sydney says. I rate Sahin very very high! Complete midfielder, players exactly for Man utd way. Can tackle, beautiful long and short pass, creates and has nice both feet. More deep lying midfield, which we need, if he stays fit I think he can challenge Carrick. Loan or buy, if fit he will be perfect for Us.

Red Samurai

Yep Syd would be very good! I would say we could take most teams on in midfield with them.

1redarmy

Sahin would be perfect for United. He would link well with any of Kagawa, Cleverley, Carrick or Anderson. Plus I think he would play really well with Rooney. We would have a great midfield with him. Gilly

is it true that neymar could be coming to manchester united soonnn

NO

1redarmy

Ye he is if they get through the quarter finals of the Olympics, he will be playing at OT

Never going to happen, Barcelona have reportedly paid a handsome fee to Santos to make sure they're first choice for Neymar. Should be signing him in 2014. {Ed002's Note - It is untrue that Barcelona has any sort of deal at all.}

Not unless manchester united win tonights euromillions draw!


Parks.

If he goes for free in 2014 which might happen then every major European club will try to sign him. {Ed002's Note - He won't be free.}

Absolutely no chance this is the best cash cow with golden teats of all time

Pardoe

Santos have said they would keep him until the end of his contract if necessary because what he brings is worth it.

Why would he not want to play at OT

Reports coming out that Inter Milan have got Lucas for £21.2m rising to £25m. Dont know how reliable this is but i hope its wrong.

Lucas moura to inter on espn now to lost out on other target great

This has since been denied by Sao Paulo's vice-president.

Announced on Sky italia, so yo can almost disregard it immediately, 90% of transfer news out of italy is rumour or speculation, a few examples:Ibra to MCFC, RVP's already agreed Juve transfer, etc.
Until both clubs make official announcements theres no telling where he'll end up, so sit tight, theres plenty time to go in the window yet!

KmD

Most likely Sky trying to even up the UK betting market on where he'll move.

DarkLard08

According to Sao Paolo vice president there has been no offer from Inter and that the only discussions that have taken place are with Utd .

calm down people, the english media were syaing we'd agreed a £26m deal a week or two ago, just guess work, the deal to united will be done/ announced when the olympics is over!

Jake F

Crazy money for a kid,too much of a gamble.

Not really bothered who signs now if the squad we have stays fit we will do well,personally im not sure that we will sign anyone else all i know is i cant wait til the 31st of august so we will know one way or another !

Fergie has basically said definitely one more, and if he can get the other then two, he seemed pretty sure about the first one, and seen as though it's not happened yet it must be Lucas as he's at the olympics! the second is anyones guess, but I don't think it's Baines, too old for his price tag and quality, but i'd love to see Sahin come in on loan, give us another season to line up real world class players for Scholes and Giggs.
