does anyone know if there is any truth that gil an fergie have made a move for there big money signing?
sydney, ed?? {Ed007's Note - Yes, wouldn't you agree Syd? Can I ask how "big" the money is? Enlarged notes? Monoply money??}

Where has this 'rumour' come from dude? When you say 'if there is any truth' I am assuming you have read/heard something somewhere. I have heard nothing of the sort thats why I am asking...
Cheers,

PJ

Probably one of those giant cardboard novely cheques.

I hope Inter have an understanding bank manager.

Pritpal

Read it talksport i think, tho theres never any truth in them i guess. if there is lets hope its monopoly money they use and inter are on lunch break when we pay.

Ed are we going to get Gansa if Shnieder goe to the noisy neighbours?{Ed002's Note - I rather think that Ganso will not be moving to Manchester United this summer. The player still has his heart set on a move to Milan but that would need to be next season now - and the only thing that could disrupt that is a bid from Chelsea or a change of heart over the offer from Anzhi.}

fact modric not going 2 chelsea but is on his way 2 utd for 20 mill and berba cant tell u who the source is but his nicname is jj

John Johnson?? Jack Jones?? Jemma Jamieson?? Jeff Jackson?? :-) HERBIE

Jermaine Jackson is a wealth of transfer knowledge.

Danny Pughnited

Probably means jermaine jenas but I wouldn't ready into this, such bs. Just trying to spark a frenzy of excitement. If it does happen I'll put my hands up but I won't hold my breathe

Sanshine

How about joe jordan, tottenhams assistent coach?

I thought he meant Burt Reynold's character in the Cannonball Run.

Note on Shinji Kagawa, doesn't seem to leave as his Dortmund club is going to CL and is on 3 year contract with a possibility of extension. This year will be important to him and his club because of his great talent. Don't be surprised if we are looking at him over in the future. The dude would work flawlessly into United.

I think kagawa would fit in nicely, a young agile version of park

Well done Cleverley lad, Well done Welbeck, hope they both play against Holland. If Henderson cost £20m, imagine what Welbeck & Cleverley would cost. I am glad these lads are finally proving me right, I knew they were the dogs.

Sydney!

Welbeck might miss the Holland game with an ankle injury he picked up yesterday. Great news about Cleverley, though.

Matthew...

Cleverley has a chance to improve and prove more to our club. Hope he does well.

My guess is that combined Welbeck & Cleverley would cost 10m at the most? Henderson still has plently of time to justify his fee, and he will.

LFC Eaton

Haha typical liverpool fan. try about 10 million each minimum

Welbeck and cleverley have way more potential than henderson

Don't get carried away guys Cleverley has only had friendly's and 45 mins on Sunday. He has looked good though, he is clearly better than the overpriced Liverpool wanna be. Price £12m Wellbeck and £7m Cleverley, strikers prices are often higher. Henderson's worth £5m

I have a strong suspicion we will push for Kagawa in the next couple of weeks, which would be much to mine and Gan's delight. I know Dortmund said they wouldn't sell no sooner than January, but I think he has a price and United would meet it. His wages will be low so I think we may be hearing Kagawa rumours much more frequently over the next three weeks.

He is a very good player and just 22. I think it's time we tapped into the Japanese market. A couple Japanese sponsors will pay for Kagawa after a few years. The deal makes so much sense.

Sydney!"""
dear mr Sydney!
hope you are right
the very reason why ngiak thinks that he is a much better deal than sneijder
and his star is rising
unlike an overpaid almost over the hill dutchman who is looking for his retirement package
and also..
the options are dwindling
both goetze and ganso have come out and said they are NOT leaving their clubs
pastore (thankfully) and sahin are sold
not much else unless sir alex pulls a surprise
another amazing development is that man united are NOT among a host of teams bidding a measly 10 million for douglas costa
is ngiak missing something?
gan
ps... it would be absolutely perfect if parker and kagawa come in... perfect

I have not been told Kagawa will sign it's just a feeling I have and it makes sense that we will target him as he ticks all of the boxes. I was told that Dortmund will not let him go until January at the earliest, not sure why. I hope he didn't get him mixed up with Honda at CSKA?

Sydney!

Glad gan ain't manager
Parker
Peter Parker maybe as his movement could be good but gan means slow Scott Parker
Nooooooooo

Yeah Gan hasn't got a clue. Parker? Come on. Get your head straight

Ngiak WTH are u on about? How can anyone say that Sneijder is almost over the hill? he's 27 isn't that when players are in their peak? n who's to say he wont stil b playing when he's 35? that's 8 more years, I suppose Xavi is over the hill then in that case? and Iniesta will be next year when he's 27? Your all fickle, you fink its Football manager where every player has to b under 24 otherwise they wil not improve, Sneijder is probably in the top 3 best cm's in the world and anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't have a clue

Big Mac

Sneijder whilst not quite over the hill, has a list of injuries a mile long. He's held together with vinegar and brown paper. Hamsik would be a far better buy at just 24. With 11 league goals and 15ish assists. He would be well suited to the prem. He even looks like a smaller version of RVN.
Sneijder would only play 25 games per
year. He was injured or average at Real, he had a really good season 2009-2010, then injuries and average last term. In fact 2009-2010 was his only good season club wise since leaving Ajax. I'm the first to admit he is brilliant at the competitions with Holland, but take a look at his club stats -1 good season fairly injury free out of the last 4.We do need extra numbers in midfield,if not Hamsik I think Ganso may move in January. There's Martin, McCarthy, M'vila,Lucas. Deals to be had If we were to get Sneidjer, I think £20m tops and £120.000 per week would be worth a gamble, of course I realize that just wouldn't happen. I like Costa and realize he has sort of moved inside from the wing, but he looks far better as a winger, but we don't need a winger we've got buckets loads of them. Would have much preferred Costa to the ordinary Young. Would be worth offering £25m for Thiago, even £30m this kid is the biz May well get turned down, but that's a lot of cash for someone who won't be in the first team for 2-4 seasons. Iniesta is 27 Xavi is 31 but is at his peak. Iniesta has a good 5-6 seasons left and Xavi 3 at least.
I think Carrick,Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs and Cleverley is not good enough. Giggs is top draw, but time must start sapping his legs soon. Cleverley looked good at Wembley, but that was 45minutes only.Fletcher has a great work ethic and spirit, but isn't the most gifted. Carrick can do a job, but isn't inspirational. Anderson sometimes look really good, if clumsy. I think he could do with losing 20 pounds. Pogba is going to be excellent, but maybe in another year. Morrison wonderfully gifted, but needs to get of his BMX, take of the bandana and hoody and grow up.Unfortunately Tunnicliffe is on loan at the son of the bosses outfit. He is the most mature of the youth midfielders and I'd stake my left testicle he'll be a top player. We still need to buy, Hamsik is the marquee option, Martin and Sissoko the value option. Ganso would be my choice and you can only dream what Thiago could do. Number 20 no problems, champions league, not without buying.

All of this about City not being interested in Sneijder is ridiculous. Mancini is lying, City and Inter have been talking all weekend trying to work out a deal for the player. Just like United and Inter were talking before that, just like Inter invited Malaga to Milan for discussions before United come in for him.

What I have heard is that United have pulled out of the deal and the options to Sneijder right now, is either staying at Inter or joining City. I believe he will be a City player come September 1st. Not sure Tevez will be involved in the deal, but you have to say it's likely.

Ed002 have you heard anything on this yet?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Nothing Syd.}

It has been in the media that United have pulled out of a possible Sneijder deal, so what you have "heard" is pretty much out there.
Of course City would be interested in Sneijder, as he ticks all of there boxes. World star player, available, and most importantly, United were interested in him. It gives them more credibility on the world football stage, and they can claim its another blow against their neighbours.
Unfortunately for City, as we saw yesterday, they cannot buy heart and soul, which undoubtedly City's owners have, no doubt inadvertantly, ripped out of their club.

I could be wrong Sydney!, but i do feel Mancini is usually pretty honest when talking about transfer speculation, so i do think he might be telling the truth when he says that he hasn't discussed Sneijder. Either that or he doesn't have that much say in who the club buys and these decisions are made by Cook and Marwood, and a deal may be getting set up by them. Either way it does appear that Sneijder is on his way out of Inter soon, and i think there's a good chance he'll be at Old Trafford and even though i do think Sneijder is a great player,personally id prefer Modric as i think he would fit better into our team.
Andy B

Syd,
For once, i think you're wrong. I don't think Sniejder wants to go to City, nor will it take till the 1st of September. i hear he's off to United THIS WEEK. Of course, I could be wrong, but Nasri is who Man City want and he's a contract of £185k a week (ridiculous). My source also told me about Lukaku's deal a few weeks ago, so i have no reason to not believe him.

On another note, Tom Cleverley was excellent on Sunday. whilst we can't depend on him, he does offer hope for the future, so if we didn't get Sneijder, but played our youth players, i'd be more than happy.

'No name'

Yes it is out there, so is reports that he will only join United, so are reports that he will sign for City, so are reports that City are interested, so are reports that City aren't interested, that Sneijder will only join United, that he will join whoever meets his wage demands. I couldn't care less what the papers say, I only go by what a player says and quotes from people in the newspaper stories. A story without quotes is hear say and nothing more.

When I asked what are the chances of Sneijder joining United he replied "70/30, 70% chance of City and 30% chance he will stay at Inter". At this time United have officially pulled out of the race to sign him. I have a feeling we will try for Kagawa. I am not going to get into this source or 'in the know' rubbish as I couldn't care less about being in the know. But if I hear a rumour, then surely this is the place to post it?

Sydney!

'Andy B'

You could be right, but it's highly unlikely that he would be kept in the dark completely over the situation. He will know his colleagues are working on a deal for Sneijder, but they could have went ahead with the talks without his permission.

Sydney!

United won't sign Kagawa, certainly not yet anyway, Sydney always comes out with rubbish about my source says this my source says that when really Sydney doesnt really have a clue about anything. Sneijder is the number 1 target, I fink if this fails, Sir Alex wont sign anyone. but I reckon Sneijder will join United. Not sayin I've got a source or anything, I jus reckon it will happen.

Big Mac

'Big Mac'

I don't believe what I am being told is rubbish, he has no reason to lie. And I don't "Always" come out with rubbish about my source. In-fact I rarely repeat the stuff he tells me as most of it is about Russian footy or Slovenian footy. Both league do not interest me. He is not a source at United, he is actually not a source at any particular club, but he does have an interest in the Sneijder deal because he is an Inter fan.

I agree that Sneijder was our main target, I have been saying as much for the past few weeks now, but according to him the Sneijder deal is dead in the water and I believe him. But just because United are out of the race now, it doesn't mean we will stay out. All he said was at this moment in time United have told Inter what they are willing to pay, they have offered Sneijder a package and United will not budge. And from what I hear City have offered more money to the club and the player than we have. So unless Sneijder comes out and says he only wants to join us, then he is obviously favourite to join City, isn't he?

Sydney!

Sydney, you have got to be one of the nicest people in the world lol reading over my comment it sounds like i'm being a c**t towards you and i apologise. I fink it will happen with sneijder goin utd cos i fink nasri wil end up at city cos he is a money grabber, as much as cleverly was awesome yesterday I dont fink we can rely on him too much. I fink Sneijder n Anderson would b world class n then the likes of Cleverley and fletch could rotate with carrick and giggs as further options. Pogba and Morrison wil b carling cup players this year I think and not much more, ther onli bout 17 arnt they? plenty of time left. Like i sed i apologise for the earlier comment about coming out with rubbish, jus desperate for sneijder to sign and i seem to argue with everyone who says he shudnt lol the onli doubt i have about sneijder is that we have no good numbers left in the squad lol it sounds mad n people wil say a number doesnt matter but in reality it does. cant really imagine Sneijer 2 on the bk of a utd shirt.

Big Mac

'Big Mac'

I agree with most of what you have just said, Sneijder would be good for Cleverley and Anderson if he signed, they would learn a lot from him. But Nasri signing for City will have no bearing on what happens with Sneijder. City want Nasri for the right-wing after missing out on Sanchez, they want Sneijder for central midfield. They want both and I think they will get both.

Nasri was going to join us before City come in and gazumped us. He has apparently agreed personal terms with City via his agent according to reports in France. Not sure how true they are though. I think Nasri would have been a great signing for us. And we could offer him a central midfield role, unlike City.

Sydney!

Sydney,

As I have been posting on here for several weeks now the Sneijder deal is done and will play out in the press later this week. At the moment Utd have people in London awaiting the arrival of the player for the England friendly and they are hoping to get the go-ahead off Inter in the next 24 hrs to take him to Manchester on Thursday of this week. The player himself has given interviews with Journo's in Holland and stated his only desire if leaving Inter is to play for Utd. The deal is done, be patient and await the announcement later this week.

Hope that last comment is true, don't know who's actually sad enough to make that kinda sht up.. ha

i have a good source that sneijder wants and will join united this week and says he has rejected an offer off the council house
