If those quotes by Gaitans agent are true, then i think maybe
A) His agent stinks of desperation and
B) Maybe United's interest has gone cold?
Just a thought.....?
p.s. If anyone cares, I like the look of Chelsea's Battersea thing.

do any of the eds know if we (man utd) are interested in javi martinez? i think he should be our number one target.

JK92

Believable13 Unbelievable2

He's a great player but can you see the yanks cough up 40 million+ euros? M'villa may be more in their price range and is also excellent at around 20 - 25 million euros.

"Nicolas likes Manchester United alot - he would like to play for Manchester United. If there is an offer for him, Nicolas would be happy to listen and negotiate" - Jose Ibarren (Nicolas Gaitan's agent).

Believable9 Unbelievable4

To be honest although i prefer hazard but i think we kinda need gaitan as he can improve the attack

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey funny enough I feel the same about utd but like him I'm not good enough either

Agree0 Disagree0

There was a statement on mutv a few week back that we are not and never have been interested in gaitan,end of story,he is nowhere near the standard we need

Breaking news: Shinji Kagawa has stated he will decide his future after the game against Bayern Munich which is the 12th may.

Believable10 Unbelievable2

I only want him if we cannot get hazard, gaitan or modric

Various types of rumours coming out the media this week are that Shinji Kagawa has apparently turned down a new contract at Borussia Dortmund and has his heart set on a move to Old Trafford. Apparently United are looking at offering him a 3 year deal.

The other name being linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer is Eden Hazard. Apparently he can leave Lille for £30 million and it's expected that United and City will battle it out for his signature. I'm expecting this Hazard transfer to be the same as the Sneijder transfer rumour that drags all through the transfer window.

£30 million for Hazard is a bargain in my opinion. This lad looks awesome no doubt about it but my only concern is will he be able to hack the Premier League?

Believable12 Unbelievable3

Why would we offer Kagawa a three year contract?

Three years, just doesnt add up

Red Man

Agree0 Disagree0

Because he's not an ancient player who could retire soon so you can't really offer him 1 or 2 years, but i suppose 3 years to see if he adjusts to the PL considering his stature and the fact he's coming from the Bundesliga! Probably would have options to extend it in place too. Seems logical to be honest..

Look at the Man United dodge rumours page right near the bottom there is the following post:

"08 Dec 2011 12:22:05
Scholes to return!!!"

Was spot on! Why is this is dodgy rumours? It was a whole month before he reversed his decision to retire!

Summer Outs:
Park
Fletcher (possible retirement)
Berbatov
Scholes (possible retirement)
Pogba
Fabio (Loan)
De Laet
Owen (will be decided by the player if he wants to stay on a pay as you play contract)
Amos - Loan
Fryers - Loan

I remember everyone including the eds dismissing that one.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh, fair great shout, and we are all glad he's back; but can you really say that at the time it was anything other than extremely wishful thinking which happened to come true

Anyone seen the rumour that we approached Everton for permission to speak to Baines? 15 million fee?

Believable4 Unbelievable11

Now that's more like it , being linked with a quality player rather than rubbish from the championship ie clyne

are we still interested in douglas costa?

Believable6 Unbelievable7

Has he progressed looked a bit hit and miss a year or so ago

This video of Shinji Kagawa, shows him almost like Modric. Can pull off a brilliant pass, skillful at times and scores goals. Would be a bargain for 7-8 Million.

Believable27 Unbelievable4

I tried putting this video on here but could only link it :/ how do you actually embed a video for future reference?

Ozwald {Ed001's Note - we editors do it, just depends on which editor gets the link and how many are on the page already. We try and limit them because it slows down the page loading for people otherwise.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Dortmund get 80,720 for every home game.... wow...

anyway.. in 30 league games (2 as sub) and 4 german cup games he has 15 goals and 8 assists.....

that is very impressive.

Oxred

Agree0 Disagree0

I've got to say the boy looks impressive. And from his stats Oxred has mentioned then I reckon if the reported price is £7 - £8 Million range then this would be a bargain which would improve our starting 11.

Ports

Agree0 Disagree0

You cant rely solely on youtube clips but he looks as though he has a very good footballing brain with good decision making,one of my suppliers is a season ticket holder at dortmund and told me last week they have a 25,000 standing section he said the the noise is unbelievable.
johndenton

Agree0 Disagree0

I watched a video of Anderson where he looked very similar to Pele.
So its either these videos don't tell the full story or we don't develop these players properly.
It's probably a bit of both but Anderson ain't no Pele.
Dingle.

Agree0 Disagree0

The thing is we bought anderson whe he was young and he had potential. As well as potential this guy has experience. he's played in the champions league and helped borussia wi the league twice now. I think this guy would be perfect for us as park will be leaving and we have a big asian fanbase which with an asian player, will be gr8. He's also got quick feet and can search a good pass, something we desperately need. No-one thought park would chage the team but he is one of our most hard-working players.
Thhis guy will give his all ad would not want a move within a yr i.e gotze etc.

Kagawa,Hazard,Martinez,clyne,llorente Very happy!

Agree0 Disagree0

That was really good video clips of Kagawa he looks awesome the only drawback in my mind is I could make Giggs look better but that doesn't show how Giggs has played in my mind

Pardoe

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes yes he does look impressive.i wouldn't compare him to modric tho.modric wouldn't be able to pull of skill like that and modric is not as quick as him either.adapt to premier league and he's a steal

Agree0 Disagree0

If this guy can play then great... but you'll definitely get your money back and some.... he's gonna sell a shed load of shirts in the far east....

Bifor {Ed002's Note - The club do not get money from shirt sales.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks a good player,someone weve needed for the last three years.but more is the need for a keano type player.thats where weve been lacking so badly'but who?we just seem to be interested in wingers with flair all the time'

Ed, What is the likely-hood that we will sign Fellaini? {Ed007's Note - I would say 50/50, Utd either will or they won't.}

Believable8 Unbelievable7

Been studying the theory of probability 007, or is it the effect of hanging out too much with 001 and his geek squad? :P

Hi ed is there any truth in the kagawa ruours?have we made an offer? {Ed007's Note - There has been no offer made.}

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Hi eds is there any truth in the kagawa rumours or is it just speculation? {Ed001's Note - there is interest there from United, it does seem that it is being blown a bit out of proportion though.}

Believable6 Unbelievable1

He's saying that he'll make his decision after the German cup final. Announcing any deal before would be stupid, would be hard to perform in your last game if all the fans knew you were leaving, especially as they wouldn't be pleased with it. But that's just my opinion. Have a feeling we'll miss out on Hazard to City, Kagawa would be decent compensation considering he actually "dreams" to play for United.

James Rodriguez will not be transferred to United.
He's owed by some Business Company in Argentina. Porto will want alot of money for him cause his old club want 20% of his next sale. We'll not get involved in a 3rd party transfer.

Believable7 Unbelievable14

Depends what amount you're talking about. Even if we got him for £20m Porto would make over £10m profit and rumours are that we're offering Anderson as a makeweight anyway. If he's worth it then go for it. It's clear UTD are looking at Gaitan, Hazard and Rodriguez but be sure if were to make bids it will only be for one, personally I think we'll chase Hazard.
