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.

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).

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

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

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

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?

Why would we offer Kagawa a three year contract?
Three years, just doesnt add up
Red Man

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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....

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.}

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.
