Gaitan is already looking a handful, providing good width and making a couple of clever balls. Wouldn't be a bad bet in my eyes.

His crossing not been great hes likes a dive
not a patch on eriksen rodriquez

If we want an average winger with no pace andy Reid would be a lot cheaper

Gaitan isn't no Hazard in terms of future world-class certainty, but you cannot criticise his pace, Gaitan is lighting quick. One of the quickest players in the game.

Hey eds or any one! Just wondering if you have heard anything re Pogba? its been quiet on that front for a while until i noticed something in The Guardian about him leaving for Juve to be on 830k a year, though i feel this is just the same regurgitated story as most things are nowadays. Cheers.

JWalk {Ed002's Note - The situation remains the same as far as I am aware in that there is interest in him from elsewhere but Manchester United would like to keep him.}

Cheers ed, i figured things would most likely still be at the same stage. What is your personal opinion, do you think he will stay or move on?

JWalk {Ed002's Note - There is no point in me guessing - but as I have said before he has been heavily influenced by third parties and it is clear he wants first team football. We can only wait.}

do any of the ed's know if we have any serious interest in Hector Otin ??

oxred {Ed002's Note - It seems that there will be too much interest until he is older. There was talk not to long ago of him going in to one of the football schools in Spain.}

Thanks ED002......

oxred {Ed002's Note - Much is expected of him apparently. Personally, he is a little young for me to know much of him. And my Restraining Order says it must stay that way until he is 18.}

Is there any truth to this rumour that the Glazers are selling the naming rights of Old Trafford to Pepsi?

It was an April fool.

Try to keep up.

Thanks

Seriously mate, who would call their stadium, pepsi cola old trafford!!

The post appeared on April the 1st so I was hoping it was an april fools day joke but I could be wrong, no one else commented about it either on here, and nothing in the news

Suppose you brought a bottle of emirates aftershave too...........

Pepsi c-old trafford sounds better lol

The only problem with Baines is he is English! Therefore bumping his price up! Ally is a much more sensible option!

No one mention baines

Yueh, and barca are re-naming nou camp, its going to be called SKOL STADIA...... get a grip man

Apparently reports in "Bild" say that Kagawa is set to refuse a new contract extension as he wants a move to either us or the chavs.
Would be a great signing imo, shirt sales alone would go along way to paying for him.
If he were south America or Spanish people would be mentioning him in the silly money bracket.

Supasub {Ed002's Note - The "shirt sales" concept is a complete red herring Supasub. That money does not go to Manchester United, it goes to Nike, Adidas or whoever the shirt manufacturer is - that is why they pay multi-million pound sponsorship. If the shirt is sold through a club outlet (e.g. the club shops) then the club will get an additional amount (the retailers amount).}

F**k shirt sales, the kid has talent. He's great in and around the box, quick movement, intelligent passer and and eye for goal, everyone needs to realise his poor form at the start of the season was down to recovering from a metatarsal break, which like we saw with Rooney can take a while to fully recover.

I've watched Kagawa many times for club and country and he always shows true talent! I know these stories are just surfacing because Shinji is taking longer than expected to extend his contract but fingers crossed. Maybe the addition of Marco Reus has given Shinji different ideas about next season?

Cant have been that poor 12 goals and 9 assists in 25 bundes games so far

Shirt sales money does not go directly to United but if 10 million shirts are sold compared to 1 million, that will obviously have an impact on the amount sponsors pay to have their name on the shirt {Ed001's Note - and the amount the manufacturer will pay to be the maker of the next shirt.}

We wouldn't receive any more in shirt sales money, but we would be opening up a Japanese market or expanding it slightly if we signed someone like Kagawa. Merchandise sales could increase and it would likely open up avenues for Japanese sponsors. Park is the main reason we have the Kumho Tyres sponsorship deal. That sponsorship would pay for his salary, albeit not directly of course.

Sydney!

If Park were to leave soon then i reckon it's more likely that we'd sign Kagawa purely to keep, like you said a 'market' in asia! Especially with Kagawa becoming such a huge player for Japan, who are the best team in asia..

Ed002 - With Higuain looking like joining City in a swap deal involving Aguero, do you think Cavani will still be on Real Madrid's wishlist?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Actually Syd I said I do not think that any such deal exists for Higuain and Aguero. Real Madrid remain interested in Cavani as do Chelsea.}

Ed002 - I never said you did say it mate, I heard Balague say it and it would make a lot of sense seems Aguero wants Madrid, Madrid want Aguero and Madrid want to offload Higuain, who City have been looking at. I think it's something that could happen in the summer, but direct swaps are pretty rare these days aren't they?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I appreciate that you did not suggest it Syd, but I dealt with this matter previously, no such deal exists or is proposed. Swaps are pretty rare, but Balague sometimes spurts out such nonsense withouth thinking. What did he have to say about interest in Higuain from Juventus? Malaga? PSG?}

I think PSG have a good chance in signing him, they will want him and pay the £35m Real Madrid want to be able to buy Cavani. I think he wouldn't mind joining his friend Pastore at the club.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Ignore the numbers and that I am not too sure that he has any friendship with Pastore aside from International games together, but there is a chance he will sign for PSG.}

I can see him ending up at juventus
