Sell nani anderson and Hernandez all the cash go to falcao done

Believable10 Unbelievable52

1-its not manager mode of fifa so not done
2-Do you really think madrid would sell for under 70-80mil? after his form and how much they paid
3-Would he want to come to england? {Ed004's Note - His buyout clause is 60 million euros and his agent has said he is open to a move to England hasn't he?}

Agree1 Disagree1

Its more plausible than people think, as the Ed has said. £45 million quid and its highly likely that he would want to join us.

Fresh!

Agree2 Disagree2

So we have a bunch of great and good strikers and no good midfields to win and pass them the ball. I would sell hernandez, Anderson and Young. Hopfully getting 20m for Young 10-12 million on Hernandez and 8-10m on Anderson, say 40m in total. Then buy either Wanayama 10m and Eriksen 22m or Fellani for 30m.

His father has already said he dreams of playing for Real. Also, I would rather sell Welbeck than Hernandez. Chicha is our Sheringham/Solskaer supersub.

------------De Gea-----------
Rafael---Vidic---Ferdy----Evra
--------Carrick---Clevs-------
Kagawa-----Rooney-------RVP
------------Falcao------------

RVP can play on the wing or as a number 10. At Arsenal every attack went through him and he was sort of a number 10. Still, not sure if money would be better spent on a holding midfielder.

Dan {Ed004's Note - I would play the diamond formation we played vs Newcastle with falcao replacing Welbeck}

Agree0 Disagree0

------------De Gea-----------
Rafael---Vidic---Ferdy----Evra
------------Carrick-----------
Clevs------------------Kagawa
------------Rooney------------
--------RVP------Falcao-------

Ed?
I just worry about Kagawa in that position do you think he can play there?

Dan {Ed001's Note - without a doubt Kagawa can play there, and has done in the past.}

Agree0 Disagree0

20 mil for Young ? Please !

Welbeck won't be sold Fergie desperate for Man UTD to have a prolific home grown striker hes hoping thats gona be Welbeck !

Falcao aint gona happen too many other clubs with more money interested in him !

Wanyama, M'Vila, Sissoko, James McCarthy and Atruro Vidal are all realistic targets who would vastly improve what we already have !



MACMAN

Agree1 Disagree1

Would be great signing, but don't think it will happen. That money could be better spent and i kept reading over the summer from the Ed's that the buy out clause in Spain doesn't mean English clubs can buy the player for the buy out clause, why(if the case) would this one be different?
Murph.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why is every1 looking to get rid of hernandez? he younger then falcao and already at our team where hes happy to fight for his place not like most strikers who wud want to leave wen not getting played he should defo be ahead of wellbeck as her scores more goals than danny! falcao would cost 60mill plus not worth it!! id prefer neymar at that price much younger!

Agree1 Disagree1

Neymar has pretty much said he will only join Real, Barca or Chelsea.

Agree1 Disagree0

MACMAN, DAS has said Will Keane was in the first team squad this year before he got injured and we also have Wilson in the youth team who is a better prospect than the both of them IMO. I think Keane and Wilson will become better strikers than Welbeck.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree1

We don't need him.

Agree0 Disagree0

You want to give all the cash to Falcao?

These are the comments are the ones that make me chuckle!

Man Utd don't need another forward right now

SD

Agree0 Disagree0

Really dont understand what the hype is around Welbeck. I'd flog him tomorrow morning - he'll never amount to anything at OT.

Agree0 Disagree0

Have to say the worst comment ever, i agree in the selling nani and anderson and buy rodriguez from porto and buy strootman from psv. if not then hummels so ferdinand can retire.

Agree0 Disagree0

OK so who would people rather have given the choice. Damiao or Lewandowski?
I know Damiao would cost a lot more and is less likely but still, who do we think is better?

Dan

Believable1 Unbelievable20

Lewandowski, proven in a better league and might not become an overrated Brazilian.

-JakeW

Agree2 Disagree0

Lewandowski.... The brazilian league is a million miles away from European/English Football

RedKnight

Agree2 Disagree0

Falcao - better than either.
Mike B.

Agree3 Disagree0

Lewandowski is a much better player than Damiao. Damiao is a little clumsy for my liking, Lewandowski is technically a very goo player and does a lot of work off the ball. Lewandowski for £20m in the summer would be a steal and him and RvP would worry many defences.

Sydney!

Agree3 Disagree0

Because of climate and reasons above, Lewandowski

supasub

Agree2 Disagree0

Neither. Why get another striker? We're about as well stocked there as we've ever been!

Percy

Agree2 Disagree0

Falcao all the way.. Agree with Mike B.

CalamityManc!

Agree2 Disagree0

Percy, Rooney as of now is a midfielder. That means we have RVP, Chica and Welbeck. IMO RVP is the only top class striker we have now, I think we should sell Welbeck tbh because he doesn't score at all and keep Chicha as an impact sub a la Solskaer.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree1

We'd all love Falcao but he will cost upwards of 45m and we will never pay that.

Agree1 Disagree1

As much as falcao would be good, him an RVP will not do it pace wise, however what a brilliant finishing pair we will have!
U.T.I.D

Agree2 Disagree0

Mancini seen with Falcaos agent at the Athletico game...

Agree1 Disagree1

How is Rooney a midifelder? He's a support striker, his best position. Tactically he will drop back when we lose possession, doesnn't make him a midifelder. We don't need strikers, we need a centreback to replace Vidic, a proepr dm or box to box and a replacement for Nani.

Agree0 Disagree0

ROONEY IS A MIFIELDER NOW! He is not playing between the lines he is in the middle of the park getting stuck in and being the laymaker a la Scholes. He said it himself after the Newcastle game that he is enjoying his new midfield role. Sorry if this comes across aggressive Ed I've seen some boarder line aggressive posts of late like you said, but, It's really getting on my tits that people keep trying to (patronizingly) correct me saying Rooney is playing number 10 like last season when he clearly is not. Now the player himself has said it WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU WANT!

Dan

Agree0 Disagree0

Dan, couldn't agree more. The rumour I posted a week ago doesn't look so unbelievable now I guess. A big season for Welbeck as I am more convinced than ever that Lewandowski has been targeted for the summer.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Syd. Yeah it looks that way with Welbeck doesn't it and I wouldn't be that sorry tbh. I think because he came from the academy as a local lad he gets away with a lot more than Chicha. Chicha is a great poacher IMO and he gets too much stick. A great person and player who any team should want. 20 goals in his first season is pretty damn good! Also I think W Keane and Wilson are better prospects than Welbeck and yeah Syd I believed you from the start with the Lewy rumour it made perfect sense. I don't really understand why people would try and rip you for it or degrade your credibility when it is posted for the aid of people who read it. It sounds like it came from a reliable source and there is no reason for you to make it up. Obviously I would rather have Falcao but he would be twice as much probably.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree0

Dan, I like Welbeck, he has everything to his game except the goals at this moment in time, but they will come. He is still a young lad and like the manager said in 2-3 years he will be a top player. If I was to sell one player it would have to be Hernandez due to his poor all-round game. He would also raise a good £18m-£20m so that would pretty much pay for Lewandowski if we were to buy him.

In regards to the rumour I posted. I have no reason to disbelieve him as he is a genuinely nice bloke. He wouldn't lie, but that doesn't mean his information is correct or that the person he heard it from wasn't talking sh1t. What he said has been reported in the media before, but we will have to see. He said that Kagawa agreed to join United a year before he did albeit not officially. Sort of a gentleman's agreement between the player and someone at the club. He believes a similar deal has been struck to bring Lewandowski to United in the summer. All we can do is wait and see and I guess keep an eye on things in the meantime. The Polish manager said he was going to United and then quickly cleared that up. Does he know something others do not?

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

There are so many strikers I would like to keep. I want Chicha and Welbeck to stay but my priority would be getting Keane and Wilson into the first team which is unlikely given the number of strikers already. We could push Welbeck to LW which SAF seems to have done. Chicha also brings in a lot of revenue for the club as Mexicos best player and is also just a great human being to have around. There would be no other squad player I would rather have than Chicha he is out new Teddy Sherringham and could have a massive impact as a late sub. The only reason for keeping Welbeck I feel is for his potential and he does have lightning fast feet. I would feel terrible for letting Chicha go especially when he keeps saying he is at the best club in the world.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree0

I like Chicha, but if I had to keep one of the two I would choose Welbeck. Lewandowski, Welbeck, RvP & Henriquez would be sufficient IMO, we always have Rooney to move in to attack if need be. RvP and Lewy upfront with Welbeck and Henriquez as the back-ups. Wilson not long turning 16 will not be ready for at least three years, probably more. Hernandez does add to the merchandise factor, but that would of course be factored into his value. Nani, Kiko, Anderson & Hernandez would raise a decent sum of cash so we can target those players we need. For me Lewandowski, a defensive midfielder & Baines would be an excellent summer. I would go with this line-up with Rooney and Kagawa swapping positions. With Valencia and Young on the bench we could always deploy wingers if need be.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

How about Hummels in that DM spot Syd? He is as god a DM as CB. SAF does say though that we dont play DMs only HMs, whether that still applies with his new love for the diamond I guess we will see.
With Fabio, Evra, Buttner and Blackett do you think we need another LB (even though Baines would be the best by quite a way)?

Dan

Agree0 Disagree0

No room for King or W Keane? I really rate W Keane he is RVN mark 2. He's pretty much one everything possible his age (FAYC, U17 euros, Reserve/u21 league) and he's only 19!

Agree0 Disagree0

Dan, I am not sure Evra & Fabio will be around next season. Blackett is still got to go out on loan once or probably twice so I wouldn't be surprised to see someone else signed and SAF is a fan of Baines. I think a defensive midfielder may well be on the cards given the new diamond formation. Would love to see Hummels signed, but would want him in defence next to Smalling.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

No name, King doesn't have a future at the club. Not good enough, not by a long shot. I think Keane will have a season in the U21's before going out on loan.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought Fabio was supposed to be the more talented of the two?

Dan
