I would agree with you but can you really see the Glazers stumping up the multi millions it will take to get him (providing he has recovered from his knee injury ok)
There would likely be an auction and the Glazers are not noted for spending money are they?

@I posted once before so i will post it again rooney is goin to chelsea for 65 million the deal is done
- I strongly doubt we'll sell arguably our most influential player to our biggest title rivals of the past 6 years. You're welcome to your opinion but don't claim to know for sure when its clearly rubbish.

The moon.

Any more news about Ganso?

Ngiak, you were talking about Sahin and Goetze as well. Are we interested and is the 20 mil. player (midfielder) definitely coming?"""
dear unnamed sir
to be honest the papers seem to collaborate ngiak's friends' theories.
first a bid of 25 plus million was made to udinese for sanchez, and carrick signed a new contract.
but one of the eds here said that the bid was made by chelsea?
and carrick staying confirms that man united will at best buy only 1 midfielder at best as morrison, pogba, tunnicliffe and cleverley will be/ are all promoted to the first team (maybe even an attacking mid role for welbeck)
at this rate even that one midfielder may not come. .
but yes, at the moment there still seems to be some activity on "4" fronts, 2 youngsters and a 10 plus mil player (prob a gk) and a 20 - 25 mil player (maybe a CM)
names? ngiak can only guess. . oh ya, the ganso camp are also making some noise at this time too. .
then there are the rodwell, defour and henderson camps who are surprisingly quiet, and what about another noisy rumour about de rossiat this moment all the "noises" collaborate with ngiak's friends' talk
who knows. . time will tell

Was wondering about these rumours surfacing have chelsea made a new bid for sanchez ?
& is it £25mill or more ?

{Ed002's Note - From what I understand it is a little more.}

Carrick signs a new deal.
That's us signalling our intentions.
Giving him a new contract after his performance in the last two seasons is as clear a sign as any that we have no money to buy top players
I predict we will sign a goalkeeper and that's it.

To be honest i never rated di maria as highly as others. Good player but not worth the sums banded around or worth the hype. He had one brilliant season and everyone went crazy. I thought he made the wrong move in going to madrid. Onto sanchez. I do rate him but question if we need him. Where would he fit into the team. How would it work having him, nani and valencia. I know some have suggested giving nani a free role and playing one up top with two wingers but i question that with our current centre midfield issues. And for me that's the main problem. I'd rather go spend 25 to 30 million on sorting centre midfield out first rather than buying a winger. I'd say leave sanchez another year but i really feel he'll move this summer which means we most likely will miss out. Although hopefully he'll go to barca and spend a season on the bench, realise his mistake and ask to leave then we get him next summer. Worst case he goes to chelsea or inter. Fair assessment? Scholes shooting boots

I think Vidal for 18m+ is the best option. German league has caught up with EPL in terms of pace so imo he should adapt quite easily into our league. He will fit in well within the team and if joined this summer with Sanchez aswell they would have each other to hopefully negate any adapting problems. Plus if we go for (imo we should) Adler then he could bum up a move to us aswell as no doubt Ballack would be doing any work for Chelsea.

With the Sanchez do we/ don't we need another winger? of course we do! Valencia and Nani aside we have no pacey wingers. Obertan has pace but nothing to go with it, Park for workrate, Cleverly done well at Wigan but is a massive step up to us, Wellbeck has proved at Sland he should be considered a ST not a winger. He would be a waste there just like Rooney is! Morisson will still be 1-2 years away from geting regular 1st team games if going by Fergies rluctance to throw them in the deep end and see if they sink or swim.

Our team operates normally wih 2 wingers. Fergie would in 60-70% of games operate with 2 quick ones then in a more tactical game i.e. Arsenal go with Park or a cm playig out of position. This season with Toni out early and Park Injured and away we have had Rooney, Fletcher, Evra, Giggs, Bebe, Obertan and O'Shea all cover with only Giggsy making any telling contribution.

So imo Adler, Vidal, Sanchez, Wellbeck, Cleverly, and poss Defour = £60m+. With £30m ish from player sales outlay of just over £30m should do it.

Jono!

In reply to;

Heard from 100% reliable source and im very upset and sorry to say this but nani and rooney are wanting out and madrid are bidding a huge bid for both.

from very sad fan

This is 100% incorrect. There is absolutely no way we are selling either of them.

This may be true as real madrid are looking to get rid of up to 7 players, rooney and nani could be on Reals radar and plus man u are broke which will make a big offer to good for your owners to refuse

you lot best dust of your yellow and green scarfs again.

Man united have been given the go ahead to talk to neuer. source? Schalke chief Clemens Tonnies. now he's a keeper we should have been more linked with. he's young, consistently good, and far more experience than the likes of De Gae(even though i do like him too).

I also can't understand why so many people are batting around the talk of a new striker. why? we have rooney and berba, as well as an in form hernandez, returning diouf, macheda and welbeck, and so many outstanding youth and reserve players waiting for their chance.

what we need is a left mid to replace giggs whenever he leaves, and 2 centre mids to replace the useless carrick and irreplacable scholes. i'd love to see modric brought in but hes going to cost a fair bit. rodwell and henderson just arent good enough to replace scholes. we need a world class player

Honestly can't see united chancing 25million on a player who may not be able to cope with the physical side of the premier league (which is very likely imo)

if he goes to chelsea let them have him, as to be honest i'd take nani any day and with valencia returning to the fold and with backup such as cleverly, morrison we don't need any more wingers for the time being as this will only restrict morrison and cleverley's development chances to get themselves into the first team fold. . .

i know sanchez could be deployed in a cam role, but why waste money on a player who is not naturally a cam. . .would far rather spend the money of pastore or hamsik for that kind of money if maybe a small bit more that we wud have to pay. . .

if none of the above are signed then llorente could be a surprise addition to united, with rooney dropping back to play as a cam which is where he is most effective imo

Robbo!
