Manchester United Rumours Archive July 08 2011

Sky Italia reporting that Utd have today entered negotiations for transfer of Sneijder with Nani possibly being part of the deal. Somehow doubt this unless other targets have failed to materialise.

I have Sky Italia (Being Italian) & the only thing reported on Sneijder tonight is that Malaga have offered 35m Euros.

Napoli & Inter have made late offers for Sanchez but he has his heart set on Barca, though a deal is yet to be concluded & will only be sorted once the Copa Americas is finished. Udinese still playing hardball. (Sky Italia)

Lemala has posted on his twitter that his Agent Daniel Passerella is in Rome to finalise his deal to Roma & he has said goodbye to the River Plate fans. (Sky Italia)

Bojan is also expected to sign for Roma.

Juventus reckon they have a deal for Aguerro in place.

They are reporting that Nasri "could" be heading for City for £23m, though i think our journalists will know more than the Italian Journalists.

Having watched Sky Italia for the past hour there's been nothing on about us at all so far, apart from speculation.
Sorry Guys.

Mecheda will be allowed to go out on loan to Nottingham Forest for a full season. The player is encouraged by Steve McClaren's vision and would like to play first team football. Sir alex Ferguson has also given Mecheda the green light to join the East Midlands club.

A player i have forgotten all about, let him go the games will do him good.

...United have made a 39 mil bid for Wesley Sneijder..told you all that I knew we'd sign De Gea, Sanchez and Sneijder..expect sneijder deal to be sorted soon..remains sanchez only..well i have to admit he looks like barca bound..but as i said United did make a bid for him..and he was fergie's main target..but chance aint gone yet..fabregas is not travelling with arsenal for their pre season tour taking him inch closer to Barcelona..so sanchez might not end up at Barca..lets see..
But sneijder is done..consider it true.
Naughto'matic

I really hope this is true about sneijder he is the perfect replacement for scholes a truly great player come on SAF make this happen. In fergie we trust utd utd

Just had deja vu... Remembering ozil to united ozil this ozil that ozil, ozil ozil and then him going to madrid. I no nasri hasn't been linked with madrid but starting to worry. Definitly premature I know(plz don't shoot)m just a little anxious I guess.I know we still have a long time to go in the window. SSN confirmed that we have had a bid turned down only to then they say that we have not bid. Are we even interested? So can anyone confirm that we are interested? Not that we are definitly siging him. Just that we are interested? CDS

We have enquired about the player, that has been confirmed. Supposedly we have made a verbal offer of just under £20m, but have not made a formal offer (In writing). It seems we are very much in the mix. But so are City, Chelsea & Inter.

Another thing which I have found strange is Nasri apparently met with Wenger yesterday, but there has been no comment made. Did they definitely meet? If so why have we heard nothing about this meeting?

Sydney!

Calm down, I think we are interested, along with many other clubs, but I also feel we are in the driving seat for him due to his ambitions to win. The way I see it is if he means what he 'says' then he will be on his way, if not then it will just be a case of the rooneys again.

1redarmy

We are defo interrested, but i dont think weve bid yet

I think they were supposed to be meeting today Syd.

U-N-I-T-E-D F-O-R-E-V-E-R

I read that Wenger and Nasri did not have any meeting.
Quote "The Independent understands that Nasri and manager Ars ne Wenger did not hold talks when the midfielder returned to London Colney yesterday."
Source: The Independant - Ian Herbert.

That said, it has been reported in other papers that they did meet and that Nasri turned down an improved salary of 90k per week for his final 12 months.

Frankie

Something to bare in mind...zidane might drive away nasri to real madrid

As i have said earlier that we have dropped our interest in sneijder.. and our primary target is Nasri.. i ll stick 2 it..

Ed002 is it true Anzhi have offered Pastore a 107k euro weekly wage to join them?

Wouldn't that be the equivalent of a UK wage of £154k a week because of the low Russian tax rate?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I have no idea about any particular offer but money is not an issue at Anzhi Makhachkala nor any of the big Russian clubs. Wages at the top end in Russia are high. Rubin Kazan made an attempt to sign Lampard a couple of years back and Anzhi will be doing a lot more shopping this summer - a jointy bid for Drogba and Aneka was discussed a little while back. Roberto Carlos is already there, and Dzsudzsak has already joined them this summer.}

Syd are you an accountant by any chance? all you care about is the money in football haha.

1redarmy

Dzsuzsak he should have gone to a better team

Man utd will sell gibson to sunderland or newcastle for 6million meaning 12 mil in from sales. (1mil brown) (5mil O'shea). they will then sell carrick to villa for 8million. We will then sign L.Diarra and Nasri for 30million, 11mil and 19mil respectively. This will mean spent= 80mil sold= 20mil meaning 60mil spent.

De Gea rafael vidic ferdinand evra nani diarra nasri young rooney hernandez. 20th on it's way

TRUMORS

Carrick wont go . . . Nasri wnt go for19 mil and diarra wnt go for 11m. . .. .. .So to me a load of RUBBISH. Stop posting Cr"p coz ur bored. SED

Diarra? no way M'vila is a much better option

De Gea
Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Diarra
Valencia Young
Nasri
Hernandez Rooney

the team would probably be more like that

I can't see Carrick going anywhere. He does a good job in front of the back four.

Even if this rumour is true why do people put out a starting 11 think we have played the same side 2 games in row once in the last 5 years

Carrick signed a new contract end of last season he wont be goin anywhere so people need to get this out of there head

Nope, that record was broken towards the end of last season

According to a paper interview? supposedly Brown in 7m switch is that 1m then wages but it sounds more like 7m fee

Pardoe

That's right arsenal turn down 20mill but then except 19mill

I hear Martin Jol has been talking to Barcelona regarding Jeffren.

Sydney!

And what exactly does this have to do with United?

rpc

Well, Jeffren was included in Barca's 'definitive offer' for Alexis Sanchez. If he goes to Fulham, he can't be used in the Sanchez deal, which may result in Barca pulling out of the deal for Sanchez, which could open the door for United.

G.A.G.U.S {Ed002's Note - Jeffren has already said (more than a week ago) he was not going to Italy.}

Sydney agree with a lot of your posts but what has this got to do with united should be posted on the fulham board

Hes a winger which means they may be making room for sanchez if this is correct {Ed002's Note - Barcelona want Sanchez and he wants to move there. Hoding it up is the rather bizarre situation in dealing with the Udinese owner, Barcelona not offering enough and not having enough money to offer more.}

I get some info on certain London clubs, I don't get any info on United, but a few bits on Fulham. I just post what I hear I guess.

Sydney!

Well if you have no rumours on united, get off the page Sydney! haha

Are arsenal due to go on tour like ourselves in next few days.
Will nasri go?

If he dont go, surely that means job done, do you not think Ed {Ed002's Note - I don't know what is happening about tours but Arsenal will want Nasri to stay.}

Arsenal are going to Asia for summer tour, this sunday, fergie wants deal sorted out so Nasri does not have to travel, if all is to belived

Nasri is going on the tour. Arsenal are back before the end of July and United are allegedly happy to wait right up to the 31st August to get their man

United won't want to wait till then because if they do and go for him in the last min if there is any last minute collapses they won't have time to look at anyone else, but nasri WILL sign


Bernard

Its been said that fergie wants all deals done before Pre season so the new players can settle. expect this transfer to be done within the next week

i believe that man utd should buy nasri and hulk because rooney could play in midifled with nasri and we could have hulk and hernandez upfront together and it wouldnt be the 1st time rooney has played in midfield he has been playing in midfield alot this season since hernandez came in wot does everyone else think about this?
THE HEMMINATOR

Yes i would live that, but if nasri is nasri is 20M and we've already spent 40M, so how much would hulk cost?

Everyone forgets scholes used to be a striker rooney is the new scholes

Rooney has said publicly on talksport he doesnt want to play any deeper than he has done and would rather play as a striker

Rooney never played in midfield he either played ST or CF and hulk plays RW to cut in on his left foot and i agree that Rooney wouldnt want to play CM and if u had Roney and Nasri there then Nasri hardly defends and u wouldnt want Rooney having to drop back deep

Rooney has played in midefield several times if u look at the fulham game couple years back when he got sent off 4 throwing the ball he was playing in midfield and if you have been watching the man utd games this year you will notice he has dropped back a bit and sets up hernandez ie against sxchalke in europe this season
THE HEMMINATOR

Could work but rooney is better than hulk. I would leave that and play nasri and fletcher in cm and rooney and Hernandez up front

I think that rooney is a great midfeilder tho hes what we are looking for strong good vison plays great balls sets up team mates dominates the midfield what else do you need in midfield he is the best solution to the midfield problem

Sad to see Johno go. he has been a great servant to the club. I would like to wish him all the best at Sunderland, Hope he gets 1st team football for a few years now. He deserves it.
Go raibh maith agat John(thanks in Irish)
Redrebel

Heard all the rumours about him going and i still carn't believe he has gone.... I think Fergie must have someone lined up as a replacement.... More rumours to mull over :-).... HERBIE

Absolutely - a few years back I quailed when the team sheet said O'Shea but je has done a good job for us with some grace and integrity. Good Luck to him.

I know he's been a great servant but he was absolutely terrible in every game he played last season It is time for him to move on All the best to the lad

07 Jul 2011 23:54:25
BBC news just said we have bid for Nasri - £20 million.... NICE.... HERBIE
