Sir Alex Ferguson claimed that Manchester United had finished their business for the summer.
“We are not looking at the moment but we are looking at combinations of central midfielders now at the club,” he claimed earlier this week, much to the horror of United fans.
Last season, the central midfield was crying out for a new addition, with United resorting to padding the midfield to compensate for the lacking quality. Now that Paul Scholes has retired and Owen Hargreaves has finally given up on his United career, the need should be even more pressing. Add to this the fact Darren Fletcher’s mystery illness has returned, it seemed insane that the manager would claim we would just have to muddle on with what we had already.
“At this moment in time I can’t see any other additions,” he said. “The type of players we may have been looking for are not available to us. So therefore I have to be happy with the players I have and carry on.”
David Gill has today claimed that there is still one more player we’re after, although we are not currently in talks with another club.
“We’re looking at one more player to bring in,” Gill told MUTV. “Nothing’s happening – nothing imminent – on that at the moment, but we’ll see what happens when we get home. There’ll still be 31 days of the transfer window to see if anything develops. But I’m not working on anything at the moment, in that respect. We’ve been looking at a particular position and two or three players in that position, but nothing’s imminent at the moment. But you never know – there’s often movement in August. I’m not sitting here saying I’m working on anything specific because I’m not, but that situation could change quickly when we get back to Carrington.”

Big day for the wee Wes Clique!
Gotta love Davey Gill!
Haha. I can’t wait to see how the tabloids react now!
The whole summer has been a cat and mouse game as far as a creative midfielder is concerned. They’re keeping everyone guessing!
To be fair Scott, Fergie said, there was nothing imminent?
Give us renewed hope, though.
Hope Fred reads this and relaxes a little.
willierednut – Hello mate. Yeah Fergie also said that he doesn’t expect to sign anyone before the community shield. We will know for definite come the end of August.
Found this through Annie Eaves on Twitter.

Gotta be Sneidjer !!
if not Nasri!!!
The utd camp can really tap up players lol
20th title on the way
Hello – that is good new – Nasri, Wes, de Rossi…
Its obvious that David Gill is aware of the wee Wes clique and is therefore playing mind games to confuse them even futher!
I thought both were along the same lines more or less. “Nothing imminent, but you never know”. If we are looking to buy Sneijder, looks like we will let time work in our favour and wait until late August. We should have just bought a badly needed defensive midfielder and wrapped up our deals instead of getting into potential messes.
i hate doubles
Cedars – Maybe he does read the RoM! I wonder, what name he posts under?
Vucinic linked to United
Roma striker’s agent claims to have met with Red Devils
This just been put up on sky….. don’t really believe it as we are okay for strikers…
anyone else heard owt !!
LOL Willie!
I’m already very relaxed and at ease with the fact that we will not sign Wesley Sneijder. It’s no coincidence that Gill has come out with this the day after the boss’s comments. The possibility of Sneijder at Old Trafford will shift a lot of season tickets, I’m sure.
@Cedars, You wish. Gill doesn’t play mind games. Sir Alex does that.
Seriously, Sir Alex said that the player he wants isn’t available. So, one can surmise he was talking about Sneijder and because of the huge stumbling blocks, maybe doesn’t expect it to happen. Let’ see whether David Gill can work his magic out. I still think the Sneijder deal is on and talks are going on. For now, it is leaning on the side of “not happening”. That doesn’t mean talks have completely stopped. We’ll know for sure on August 31st.
if we want him that bad we will get him if not some1 else will pop….potentially another LILPEA of the midfield. but this being said guarantees utd are 100% still in the market and are just using tactics to get what they want.
In fergie and gill we trust.
anyway fuck it ….
hows it going Cedars
Willie
Seeing that he is playing mind games with the wee Wes clique then its obvious as a poster he is with the anti wee Wes clique, that narrows it down to Costas or my self, so its defo Costas.
YAY!
even it is not sneijder. it will be SOMEONE! and i bet it is to plug the gap in center of midfield vamoss
TonyBee
Hiya buddy, all is well, hot as fuck here though… No complaints mind you, the babes tend to wear far less clothing!
I’ll be surprised, if isn’t Sneijder Gill’s talking about.
I heard any deal for him, was gonna be after the tour anyway.
Note how Gill said the words “world class player”. That, coupled with stuff like “we’ve been looking at a particular position” tells me that the Sneijder deal is still a possibility tbh.
Reading between the lines of this and all the cryptic messages Fergie’s been giving us (“the players we want aren’t available”….”not so sure Sneijder will be easy to get” etc etc)…….looks like we definitely want him- but either Inter or Sneijder’s wages are holding it up, and I’d be pretty certain its Inter.
As I’ve said before, this could drag on right through August- a case of ‘who blinks first’. Will it be us, and we agree to Inter’s valuation? Or will it be them, and will they lower it? The whole”two or three players in that position” may well be us letting Inter know that we’re not budging from our valuation!
you guys should look at the record books how shrewed moratti is with inter’s trasnfers. they ALWAYS do good business and i am sure want to do the same with any sneijder deal
you rotten, dirty , lucky bastard…
erm the other player we covet is not sneijder, its this fella….

One word: Cantona
http://agentoffergie.blogspot.com/2011/07/maestro.html
Sneijder my arse.We’ve had a bid on the table since first week in June and it wasn’t for Sneijder.
Ohh here we go again
who will it be?
Snejder, Nasri or Modric??
imo Snejder is the best player but I would go for Modric as he is not as big of a gamble. But it seems he will go to Chelsea if he is leaving spurs.
I would also be extremely happy to get Nasri and hopefully he is not going to City.
I somehow have a bad feeling about Snejder, my heart says yes but my head is not so convinced. We are talking about alot of money.
He is a world class player, a true star.. but it has never been the United way to buy world stars, we have always made them.
And Modric or Nasri could become world stars at Man. United
This is the first time there has been any indication that we will not be bringing in 2 players.
It’s a smokescreen!
Two to come.
Sneijder is ought to play in the Italia Super Cup on AUGUST 6th.. I think that’s the deal which might happen in mid-august. Don’t know whether i like it or not but hope the guy fulfills his price tag + wages if the move does happen.
Hey guys I very much doubt any other player but nasri and I believe it is still on very much talks have stopped because of arsenal at the moment and and that could change as soon as Nasri says he wants to leave he is young creative good link up play they will be one more sir Alex knows he has to Carrick does not preform fletcher can not make that difference to decide a game Anderson I like but does Alex? That leaves Giggs and cleaverly I caint see Giggs playing a full season every game and surely cleverly can not be expected to take such a experienced role throughout this season reds till we die guys
@smartalex, LOL! Nicely done mate.
“We’re looking at one more player to bring in.” Just like I’m “looking at” making Scarlett Johansson my girlfriend.
It’s easily Sneijder. He said nothing imminent 3 times, 2 or 3 targets he says. Inter want a bit more than we would care to pay in my opinion. Inter must be bustin chops for an extra bit of cabbage so they can spend some. Gill has just said fuck you inter this is what we’re giving you, we’re prepared to wait and we have other options. Inter will soon fold. That’s the way it will pan out in my imagination so fingers crossed. United sparing me this grief would be well worth the extra 2 or 3 million that Inter want just sort it out Gillbert!!!!!
I don’t think we need 2 midfielders, all we need is 1 creative type IMO. If we do get 2- I’m assuming 1 of them would be a defensive midfield sort- does that mean that Fletcher’s illness might be more serious than we think?
As for the Vucinic talk- sorry but I’m not buying it. The last thing we need is another striker!
All over Italy stating that its Vucinic from Roma… including his agent give direct interviews saying that United are a matter of days from signing him… i feckin hope thats just playtime from his agent to make Juve stump up the cash.
I hear that we will get Sneijder but it will be after the season opener and very close to the transfer window shutting.
sneijder deal is already done folks , he is just waiting to play the derby game againts ac milan on the 6th of august and the he will be ours !! fergie is playing mind games to keep other club guessing !!! wait and watch !!! there will be changes . but sniejder deals is done !!!! go man utd smash city 3-0 win !! glory glory manutd !!!!!!
I’d rather spend the money on 2 like Nasri and De Rossi/Schweinsteiger than blow it all on Sneijder.
I’ve said for a long time I could sense another signing. It must have been Gill’s presence that alerted me. The force is strong in that one!
Parryheid – Are you talking about Nasri?
I don’t buy that gemini. What happens, if he gets injured? Flawed argument.
Believe me, if a deal is close, there’s no way United will want Sneijder playing in a Milan derby!
We have to address the central midfield or we’ll get run over and struggle away from home again.
So lets see, not actively working on a deal but, they’ve identified 2-3 players for a position they need to fill with a world class player, how does that work?
If we are the club looking to fill a position with such a high caliber player, then shouldn’t it be us that are actively working to find a way to get one of our targets?
Also, it’s pretty much assumed that the position is CM but, IMO we could really use a solid player to back up Carrick in the holding / quarterback role that he plays. Last season Scholes could do that and there was always the through that when Hargo played, he’d fill that position as well. Going into this season we don’t have anyone that can do that. Also, to a degree we don’t have a ball winner the likes of Fletcher anywhere in the squad. Unless Phil Jones is expected to step up as needed.
SAF clearly recognizes the need for a Carrick backup as Anderson has been played in that position a couple times now in pre-season. He can maybe do it in the future but, he has a fair amount of learning to do.
Hope this is all just posturing by United in an effort to give the impression that we aren’t desperate and that we’ll only go for something if it is reasonable, not overpay because we are desperate.
i reckon without any touch ups to mid field we’ll stil be ok in premiership. european cup though we may struggle later on
Love gemini’s theory. It will be a pub quiz question for years to come: “Who played in a Milan derby and a Manchester derby in the space of 6 days?”
LOL 2 days! I had my dates wrong. It will be even more remarkable!
Calm down people.
The way I heard SAF, we will not bring in anyone before the Community Shield, which is a week off.
I think there is nothing said that would lead me to believe we are done with our interest in certain other players. I feel that United are clearly poised and ready if some major movement happened on any of the players we do want. If there is no movement we are where we are, if there is movement we have everything in place to make something happen lightening fast.
Sneidjer’s agent is one hell of a shrewd muthafuckin businessman,holding four world class clubs to ransom by makin ridiculous business calls..
I assure you guys,Sneidjer would be confirmed on 12th august..
Dont ask me how,am just another Paul.
adryan rumours are doing rounds…… but i dont think his transfer would be included in this ‘one more player’ thing……… (if we get him)……..
to fred !!! well the manu derby is on the 7th of august , what are u taking about 6 days???????
Just getting a tad concerned about our midfield. With Hargreaves gone for good and Fletcher way too attached to his sick-note we don’t have much ‘steel’ in the centre of the park.
I know must of you nutters are hoping to see a Sneijder, Modric or a Nasri coming through the door, but imo an out and out ball winner is an absolute necessity. I am convinced our dodgy away form last term was down to our inability to take control in the middle of the park.
i know WS deal is oni know WS deal is on
From Sir Alex’s and Gill’s words, I think its either Sneijder or no-one.
The multiple references to world class player and “a particular position” make it obvious that they are looking at possible Scholes replacement. And the only one who comes close according to the mgmt is Sneijder.
I think we are going to make another go for him before the window closes, whether we get him is doubtful.
I think all the other rumours especially Vucinic is pure bullshit churned up by agents to increase the hype around their players.
Vucinic really? Have stupid sky listed the strikers we have currently?
Anyone else think that it may be Defour or Douglas Costa?
well said red scott !!! they will sign sneijder !! fletcher is rulled out for few matched bcoz off virus !!!
None of those are world class. Costa was linked a while ago. Seems dead now.
Manu derby? Sounds like a race horse.
I think we should all do the Maths
de Gea, Jones, Young = £50 million out
Brown. O’shea, Gibson, Diouf = £16 million in
50 – 16 = 24
Did I not read somewhere the Glaziers had said that fergie had a budget of approx £25 million a season
I think this HUGE transfer kitty was just a load of c*ap feed to us supporters to kept us happy by the Glaziers PR machine.
I doubt we will be able to buy anoyone else this season – that would ruin the Glazers business plan.
Here is a link to the interview with Gill
There is a link to the whole interview as well.
Like I said above. We might not be ready with anything at the moment, but we are always going to be working on things and are ready if a player becomes available at a price we are interested in. Gill has it covered.
http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2011/Jul/Gill-on-summer-transfers.aspx
mikekelly12.
Yep sure am.
50 – 16 is not equal to 24………… its 34………..
so the rest of your theory goes to waste, m afraid……….
and further, diouf wont be sold either…………
Is Sir Alex a Decepticon??????
It will be sneijder in my opinion. The mere fact there has been fuck all noises from any camp speaks volumes. Sneijder would catagorically state he is staying. Other clubs would be linked but fuck all. Its all very cloak and dagger. I knew Fergie was agging anyway as his comments were very vague. Its on lads. Either that or costa as fergie liked him a while. Fuck that cunt Modric. Not good enough. Lighweight. Goes missing when it matters and neither scores or creates goals. Also those slating Carrick still I urge you to watch all the rentboys games from last year. Carrick had essien and Fat Frank in his back pocket. There is no reason for Fletcher to suffer this season. Word is he is bulking up well and just about ready for the team. Fletcher and Anderson are ball winners. Phil Jones can also do that job.
RedHarry – Where’ve you heard that Diouf is being sold, we haven’t had a bid for him yet have we?
And 50-16= 34…..
@RedHarry4Life – something wrong with your math there – 50-16 = 34 … maybe the story you read was that Fergie had 35m to spend a season, that would help you fit the argument still.
still we have no idea what will happen
*fergie is blagging* not agging!
Redharry fuck sake lad. Club are spending yet some still not happy. I am pretty fucking sure Diouf is in the States and Gibbo been captaining reserves. Didn’t realise they had been sold. Oh and as someone has pointed out work your sums out again!
Just seen Gill interview and gotta say its reassuring. It wasn’t the usual flannel. Infact he wasn’t even asked if there were any more players to come in. He just volunteered that info when discussing squad with Stewart. Said there are only three or four that can replace scholes.
Vucinic? Oh for fuck sake. Load of shite. Fucking Spurs are after that cunt aren’t they? Where do they get this nonsense from?
I’m sure Fergie and Gill are in contact, at all times, regarding transfers.
Between them, they’ve got it sorted.
Shimo & RedHarry4Life – I believe the original suggestion was a £25m transfer kitty every season, plus £25m set aside for a “marquee” signing. This may well have changed. We also had the £80m Ronaldo “warchest” supposedly.
Andersred reckons there is still (or should still be) over £130m available to us for transfers.
http://andersred.blogspot.com/2011/07/are-united-trying-to-cut-wage-bill.html
Haha, as if we’re after Vucinic. That much I think is safe to say is bullshit.
That being said, I will probably be happy and optimistic about whoever we bring in. I’m trying a new positive outlook lol
Fred – I think that 25 million pound quote etc was something MUST independant group FC united and the rest of the media cooked up to beat the glazers with time and time again, I hate the glazers at times but to be honest I still rather united’s way of spending more than retard spenders like barca shitty and chelsea. When we have spent money we have made sure we have utilised these players full uses, not spend 37 million and not bother giving him a proper shot.
Compare shitty’s strikers they have still at the club
Dzeko 34 million
bolloteli 27 million
tevez 25 million
santa cruz 20 million
adebayor 26 million
and now they want to spend 40 million on aguero
compare the current united strikers
rooney 27 million
hernandez 7 million
berbatov 29 million
welbeck youth player
macheda 2 million
and these figures show why united have won 4 league titles since 2007, a CL and played in 3 CL finals in a row
Sneijder is not what we need. Besides, I heard he has a CTiD tattoo on his arse. No thanks! The gaffer will find us another quality value signing. In Fergie we trust!
David Gill la la la
David Gill la la la
Just the slight issue of image rights now. Not long people.
Nothing fishy here. Gill’s breathing life into the wee wes school.
Carping on about sharks is scaly, plenty other fish on the net.
FITB – That’s one way of looking at it, but just to play devil’s advocate, for the combined cost of Tosic, Bebe, Obertan, Diouf and Manucho, we could have bought David Silva or Yaya Toure.
Vucinic? What a load of bollocks.
Is there nothing new on the wee Wes front?
Where’s Cedars? Is he hiding?
MG is hunting him, as we speak.
King Eric – Hello mate. Saw Gills interview as well. Very interesting, especially as he broached the subject of another arrival. Please tell me that Vucinic rumour is a piss take? Fuck me, why do these cunts take the piss out of us, linking us with dreadful players. We are United, not a fucking pub team.
The Fly – Are you Gill in disguise mate?
I’m Sorry, perhaps I missed something you say “Owen Hargreaves has finally given up on his United career” ? EXCUSE ME! he did not give up on his United career United gave up on him. I take offence to statements like this. O.H was just unlucky he deserves our respect.
£130m! We may well bid for both messi and xavi.
Can wait to see sneidjer in that no 4 jersey.
Sir Alex has made some shrewd signings already if united get a top class midfielder, then, unfortunately, i think no 20 is yours!!!!
KingEric agreed on the silence. To me it speak volumes.
I think the Fly is Mickey Phelan. The boss has his spies everywhere.
Willie
Psst, I am right here, as defiant as ever and enjoying reading how you guys have raised your hopes (Again) as I do I occasionally let out a nice evil laugh….. muhahaha muhahaha
if we dnt sign any1(God forbid),we wil win d premiershp nd Ucl(unles we beat barcelona).u lot make it sound our midfld is d crappest..im sure d rentboys nd schalke04(who dstroyd inter wit d worldclass sneijder)wil beg to differif we dnt sign any1(God forbid),we wil win d premiershp nd Ucl(unles we beat barcelona).u lot make it sound our midfld is d crappest..im sure d rentboys nd schalke04(who dstroyd inter wit d worldclass sneijder)wil beg to differ
VUCINIC? REALLY? NO FUCKING WAY PLEASE NO!!!!
Is the Fly Gill or Mickey Phelan or someone else, maybe G. Nev or Sir Bobby? HHuuummmmmmmm…
GO WEE WEE WES!
not the laugh… frowny face here….
MG is closing in, run Cedars!
I must disagree with the title of this article. It should read, “One More Player – Gill reaffirms what Ferguson has been saying all along”.
He’s simply saying we might sign someone yet but it’s highly unlikely anything will happen in early August. And it’s a possiblity we won’t sign anyone at all. It’s neither here nor there, and there’s nothing in it really that we didn’t already know.
I can’t be arsed to speculate over who we’ll sign. That’s not to say I can’t understand why people do. I used to be obsessed with it myself but I think as I’ve gotten older I’m just happy to sit back and see what happens. Anyone that comes in is welcome, and anyone that doesn’t want to come and chooses another club, well they can kiss the back of my balls, it’s their loss.
The only thing I haven’t learnt to cope with is the long tortuous wait for the season to begin. Pre season friendlies just don’t do it for me. We’re nearly there, won’t be long now, this has been a long summer.
maybe its joey barton……………..
Ice cream and jelly?
Must be Jelly, cause Jam don’t shake like that.
Some Chocolate sauce, on top?
@Ruudboy, I believe Phil Jones is the new owner of the no.4 jersey.
I run from no man!
Do sprinkles cost extra?
$5 love you long time………
David gill has delivered us the big scoop, we’ve been waiting for!
So yeah, sprinkles as well!
Temper your ice cream, to achieve the full flavor bueque. I can’t get close enough for spell check to help. Peace out for now Red land of RoM.
lol………………….big scoop….wee wes club charter member……
to be fair the boss did state no signings are imminent and none would be made before the community shield.that still leaves plenty of time before deadline day to get a deal concluded.gill has taken that one step further by confirming one more signing…..despite our very promising youngsters progressing we do need a world class midfielder.if thats sneijder or nasri it can only improve the squad!!!
Vucinic thats gotta be bollocks we aint exactly short of fucking strikers
must be a midfielder get the deal done davie boy
Cedars slap some sense into this soppy old fucker
im starting 2 dream of wes again ha ha
scan74
Slap, who? where? why?
Oh, keep dreaming, dreams are nice
David Gill’s Son, Oliver has exclusively revealed to me around Durham University campus that
“United have a £110 Million budget this year, they’ve spent £50 mill already, £35.25m on Sneijder, which leaves United with £45m to tie up a deal for Gareth Bale or Lucas Modrich plus Obertan + Gibson”
My Witness was RedHarry4life who took notes. Who has a Phd in Maths for those insulting his Mental Arithmetic skills.
I wish we buy Joey Barton and Karl Henry for Christmas.
He’s running, but MG is in hot pursuit!
Cheers mates!
Cedars, Costas, and all the other darksiders,
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8664382/Manchester-United-plan-one-last-push-for-Wesley-Sneijder.html
The story that just won’t die. Like robocop or sommat!
That’s a very simple substitution of wesleys. WS6 for WB6.
Vucinic
At least we know what Gill was doing in Italy now. 
see a bit of smirking at Vucinic. its the kind of curve ball SAF could throw. This Roney in CM could be a thought. That said it is a bit strange. I think we could be in for some fireworks display of transfers in August. Things are eerily quiet.
I know most fans are absolutely gaga over Sneidjer,me too but what do u guys think about Thomas Mueller.Still very young,can play anywhere across the front and score lots of goals as well.Would he leave Munich for Manchester though?Some are mentioning De Rossi,good player but too old(28)in my opinion.
pfft the story’s got to be bollox,
Damn it we might be signing or Unsigning someone.
Cedars will turn up in with his 10 man clique in balaclavas,apron and Hairnet surrouding Wes’s house demanding he stay at Inter or his beautiful wife will get suprise next time she pops into a Hairdressers or the Tanning salon.
FletchTHEMAN – Micheal Myers mate, not robocop! The latter doesn’t work.
fellas listen, as much as i would LOVE to have wes sneijder come, it might be a bad idea… i mean he;s already 27 nearing if not past his prime and would be a big hit for wat, 2-3 years? we need someone young AND world class like modric or nasri who are 25 and 24… but i would still be FLYING with joy if we do end up signing sneijder, although i hope this is wat sneijder wants cause if he was saying the truth wen saying he doesnt wnt to leave, it could be bad for MANUTD to have an unhappy player in the dressing room
Clint-lol. RedHarry4Life (PhD in math) indeed!
The Vucinic story is classic red top BS.
I’d love to know who his agent met, Gill is in America?
Maybe Cedars lol.
RedDevil. He doesn’t rely on pace so could play at the top for another six or seven years. Fuck me he turned twenty seven a few week back. Why are some behaving like that’s over the hill ? Its when a player is in their peak. Just into their peak. That skinny little cunt Modric aint in the same league. Sneijder is a proven winner at the highest level. Modric bottles it when it matters. See City away for fourth place. He missed two great chances. At nil nil he missed an absolute sitter. Yes I know it can happen to anyone but at that level you have to prove yourself. Sneijder has.
This whole MF/Sneijder thing is starting to give me sleepless nights,sign him up already,or look for another quality MF player.our MF need strengthening..but if Sir Alex thinks the squad is ok as it is,then fine.but one thing i so dread is our team getting ran over in a CL final,i mean i prefer we dont reach a CL final this season,than getting run over..losing a record(or not) 3 consecutive CL final will be a disaster.
Clint, Spot on mate. Were flush with cash and well sign who we please.
For those that don’t join us, well walk on their toes as we march another new trophy into our cabinette.
@Willie, cheers for that Micheal Myers, ha ha ha. Not much of a slasher fan myself. Much prefer the Scifi stuff. Slashers ehh, you should consider backing Blackburn or maybe Stoke? Ha ha Micheal Myers, lov it! Good stuff.
King Eric is SPOT ON about Sneijder and Modric. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll get the fella.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on.
@RedDevil96
Sneijder is definitely not past his prime and can still play for more 6 years at the very top level,heard of Xavi, Scholes,Zidane,Neved etc..
Sorry shit maths there lads too much sun.
But I do not believe all that shite we have been feed about having a “HUGE WARCHEST” to spend.
I hope to hell I am completly wrong (bit like my maths). I do however believe that Gibson and Diouf will be sold.
I think that we all agreed that our midfield needs to be upgraded somewhat. We have carrick and Anderson in midfield. Fletcher’s virus is a big concern. Yes i agreed we have players “who can do a job in CM” but shit Vidic could do a job in Goal maybe but i would not like to go a season with him in goal and expect us to win number 20. My point is we need i options in CM, with only three recognised CMs in the squad.
What we have and we should all be thankfull for is the best manager to ever walk the face of this earth. Fergie could have won the PL last season with any of the top 5 teams if he had been their manager. So if he feels happy then so be it, but i would be a lot happier with a couple more in there would like a creative player and a defensive player.
‘The Manchester United loanee turned in a classy hour shift alongside Leon Barnett at the heart of the Canaries’ backline.’

This getting run over in a Champions League Final annoys me a bit. We had Giggs and Carrick at Wembley. It was on the cards we would get over run. Have a three of Carrick anderson and a fit fletcher or a n other it wouldn’t have been quite so easy for Barcelona.
King Eric – my problem with WS, is his position. Which was one reason why a carrick modric creating for the likes of young nani valencia rooney hernandez berbatov, that partnership would be a dream for everyone. But back to WS, what is Wesley’s position, if united sign WS there is a big chance united are going to have to change system’s and not bring out the best in guys like rooney hernandez berbatov and owen. So the question is? do we want the best for our 4 strikers, or buy WS and change how our strikers are positioned
Lloyd™ – these sleepless nights aren’t good for you. My advice is to ignore all transfer speculation from now on and just check who is in our squad on Spetember 1st. All this bollocks is not worth the hassle. Remember when the papers said we were going to have him signed “in the next 48 hours”? That was about three weeks ago! Now Gill is saying our search for the player we want could go on until the final day of the transfer window. Deary me…
obvious if united signed WS I would be happy, but we have got to think for a minute, do we want what’s best for our strikers, or for one midfielder and we do not get the best out of players like berbatov hernandez and owen, because when was the last time hernandez and owen even started a game together
From my perspective, if there’s any life to this “leak” then it would seem that the target is Luka Modric. Spurs have been flushed out by the RentBoyz – who seem to have lost interest or changed their target to Javier Pastore. Modric has asked to be moved. So, that’s the heavy-lifting already done-and-dusted.
I’d imagine that Dimmy plus about 25 million would satisfy Spurs, addressing their need for both money and a new striker. I’m not a fan of Modric – or Dimmy, for that matter – but SAF seems to hold the little guy in high esteem AND that’s what matters !
While a 35 million transfer would be the same price as quoted for WeeWes, the difference in wages would be substantial – Modric is currently on 45,000 weekly – which is nothing to sneeze at, eh ? – but WeeWesley makes about five times as much and is not looking to take a pay cut. Plus, of course, Modric is 24 while Sneijder is three years older. So, such a deal would tick those boxes, too.
Fergie has made it clear that we’re covered on strikers. Most likely we’ll loan or sell Diouf. Macheda and Welbeck will definitely stay. Wellbeck can play left wing so he’ll be useful.
Therefore, the whole Vucinic rumor has to be totally horse turd – Fergie knows we need a Midfielder but he won’t get desperate over it (even though most of us are)
Wes Sneijder is no mug. You think he can’t play in a two man midfield? His passing is sublime. He could even play the Carrick role when needed.
@FITB – Hernandez and Owen will never start a game together, they do the same job. Didn’t Owen even admit that Hernandez is a better version of himself? I think he did.
There’s no chance in hell, Spurs would sell us Modric.
I rate the lad, but he’s on record as saying, he wants to stay in Landin.
Let him stay there and put all our efforts, on securing Sneijder.
He did: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/914739/michael-owen:-javier-hernandez-is-a-better-version-of-me?cc=5739
Twenty five million and Berba for Modric. Is that a joke denton?
U guys are just too hot, ur comments are making my night warm. One Love – One United!
When we get big Mirko Vucinic we’ll be able to field an entire team of attackers. Awesome.
Rooney
Nani Berbatov Vucinic Young
Obertan Owen Welbeck Hernandez
Macheda Diouf
Dear Wes, I wrote you but you still ain’t callin’
I left my cell, my pager
And my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in the January Window
You must not have got ‘em
It probably was a problem
At the Milan post office or somethin’
Sometimes I scribble addresses
Too sloppy when I jot ‘em
But anyways fuck it
What’s been up man, how’s Yolanthe?
My girlfriend’s pregnant
I’m out to be a father
If I have a son, guess what I’m a call him?
I’m a name him Wesley
I read about Leonardo too, I’m sorry
I knew some other manager lose his job ‘coz his team got fucked by United (four times)
I know you probably hear this everyday
But I’m your biggest fan (bigger than balaji)
I even got You Tube videos of your game vs Chelsea
I got a room full of your posters
And your pictures man
I like the way you handled Barca too
That shit was fat
Anyways I hope you get this, man
Hit me back just to chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Visari…
denton davey- modric would be the dream for united in a 2 man midfield. I still say a midfield 4 of carrick modric young and nani supplying rooney and hernandez or berbatov would be one of the best midfield 4 and front in europe, even in a 3 man midfield of carrick modric and fletcher supplying rooney young and nani would be pound for pound the best all-round team has no one is out of position
But like all say, the bone head wants to move to a spent force, modric moving to chelsea was has stupid has torres moving to liverpool, and look at what that had done to torres career
@Fred
i wish i could do that mate.these speculations just keeps popping out,it’s very hard to ignore.
…
£25m + Dimi for that little runt? No chance!! Denton give it up Dimi is here to stay!!!
This planet must be protected from all that wish to harm it
This is Optimus MG me and Optimus willierednut are here to tell you that we are here and we will not go away until Sneijder comes
I am in London so will post in and out goodnight Reds!
Berba + 25M for Modric, sounds interesting, why not through in Nani and Valencia for good measure
Hold on lads, T4M has something to say…?
I agree with T4M’s assessment of the situation.
…
Non-story!
@Scolar Visari
i can see you got the Sneidjer/Stan fever too.
@Scolar Visari
Nice
It’s very clear
Dimi is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day…
A little Gershwin for your ass.
Oh yes, an even bigger fan of we Wes than Balaji….. Such a pity, another heart to break!
Whatever the case lads, lets start focusing on the start of the season. If there is one signing left, that won’t happen before 23:59 on August 31st. See you then.
Not long now MG.
Keep the bubbly nice and chilled Costas
Denton … you really are extraordinary. So when SAF makes a couple of isolated comments that he holds Modric in high esteem, “that’s what matters”, but when he makes continued comments about his high opinion of Berbatov, that’s fucking irrelevant? Talk about selective. SAF has made it very clear, many times, that Berbatov wasn’t dropped or pushed into the background for any reason to do with his own performance, he was simply “unlucky” that Hernandez happened to be in such hot form. Yet you and all the other Berbaphiles have continually used that situation as evidence that Fergie doesn’t trust Berbatov, that Berbatov is superfluous to requirements, useless and all the rest of it. So when SAF makes a comment that supports your view, or is something you might go along with, then that’s what matters, but when he says something about a player you intensely dislike…?
25 million plus Berbatov in exchange for Modric is a fucking joke and an insult.
oops, I think I meant Berbapaths or Berbaphobes, not Berbaphiles, hahaha!
Manchester United thumped Co Tyrone 7-0 in Tuesday night’s Premier section encounter in the Milk Cup.

£25m + berba for modric is an insult to berba.it makes him look worth £0 lol
@Lloyd, a terrible illness this Wes Sneijder fever.
@redslevin, thanks mate, just messing around.
And as far as heartbreak goes… I believe that light at the end of the tunnel is not an incoming train, it’s ‘wee’ WESLEY SNEIJDER
Stateside
Terrific post, absolutely spot on………
Scolar Visari
I have the perfect cure, just cross over to our side and you will see the light and be cured!
@CedarsDevil is it that you don’t want Sneijder or you don’t think he’ll come..
Here is another idea, I would take Modric AND 25M and in turn give them that news paper that Berba was reading on the place because he simply touched it.
The losing side?
Telegraph is saying we’ll make one more push for wee wes — based on Gill’s comments. I don’t think Gill has really said any more than SAF said yesterday. SAF’s comments were riddled with caveats “at the moment” this, and “at the moment” that.
Of course, this gives the Telegraph an excuse to crap on about how wee wesley will have no resale value. He’s exactly (to the day) one year and one month older than Ashely Young, for fuck’s sake. Sneijder: 9 June 84, Young 9 July 85. Yet one has generally been portrayed as a wise investment in a good young player who’s on the up, while the other is portrayed as a risky investment who won’t be worth anything a few years from now. Fucking hell.
Lloyd
The later of course, although I made my own points in the past that we did not need anymore players, but that is another story. wee Wed would walk into any team, top player but its not going to be United
Meant we Wes, not sure who the hell we Wed is!
Wee Wed wouldn’t, but wee Wes would he he.
He’s losing the plot! Ha ha.
Should never of fucked around, with a sick ass Red like me!
CedarsDevil oh i see,now i understand
StateSideAussie @ 23:52: “Denton … you really are extraordinary.”
I stopped reading there.
Really, this is all about banter. I’m no fan of Modric – or Dimmy; and I said so. What I wrote was that the comments by David Gill = and the comments by SAF pouring cold water over the WeeWesley then there’s room for the likes-of-us to think laterally. What are these guys getting at ? Crossed wires ? I don’t believe that so…..
Also, the comments by SAF regarding Dimitar Berbatov have to be taken with a grain-of-salt. What else would he say ? His actions speak much louder. Maybe you weren’t listening – he didn’t even have Dimmy on the bench for the match against Barcelona AFTER Berbatov had missed two gold-plated chances against ManShitty and then couldn’t even get one chance on target against Blackburn. THEN, he leaves the guy out of the team (and chooses LittleMikey) for the biggest match of the year – connect the dots !
By the way, I do not “dislike” Dimitar Berbatov’s game; I was very hopeful that he would be a huge success at OT in the post-CR7 era but – let’s be honest about this – Dimmy has had one outstanding half-season and five disappointing half-seasons. He hasn’t featured in the CL matches and he hasn’t done much in the away matches for TheLads.
So, yeah, I’m disappointed but I’m not blind to the facts that Dimmy simply hasn’t performed in way that has been commensurate with my expectations and his very high price tag.
I know that Dimmy didn’t force SAF to pay that much money for him – Mr Levy is a tough bargainer in a seller’s marketplace – but, let’s be very clear, in high-profile professional athletics there is a huge burden of responsibility when a guy lobbies for a big-time transfer and Dimitar Berbatov did make it clear that he wanted to move to UTD, just as much as SAF wanted him (and, most probably, tapped him up).
I’d like to think that I’ve been fairly consistent in my comments – I’ve always resisted calling him “lazy” and I’ve always commended his silky skills and exceptional talent with the ball at his feet. However, I’ve also been fairly consistent in rating Chicharito more highly because he’s been able to bring the best out of WayneBoy whereas Dimmy hasn’t.
The only time in his three years at UTD that he has lived up to the huge expectations that surrounded his transfer was in the period at the beginning of last year when WayneBoy was “confused” and “suffering from post-WC hangover”. Once again, connect the dots. Like I wrote earlier today, he might be the right guy but he’s at the wrong time and wrong place. Sadly, Dimmy has proven to be a square peg in a round hole.
But that’s only my opinion. I don’t mind when others differ but I expect reasonable objections that address the points I have put forward. I guess that I’ll have to be satisfied with being called “extraordinary” by you.
Willie
Piss off I know how terrified you really are!
Right, to all you wee Wes gang, would you still want your super star if say Inter wanted Nani as part of the deal?
This should be interesting
Do people actually believe the vucinic crap? don’t make me laugh, his agent is only trying to get him a good deal at another club, besides he is not good enough for united and secondly the club is stock piled with strikers.
Despite some wanting diouf gone, i’d like him to stay so i can see how he steps up for this level, the manager clearly rates him or he’d have left straight, so lets see what he has to offer.
He could be a suprise package.
Got to say I hope we get Modric instead of Sneijder as I just feel that Modders would suit a deep lying role a bit more than the wee dutchie, but not at the expense of Berbatov. He may not be in the first eleven every week but what a player to come on off the bench……or even starting for that matter. Teams need different types of strikers for different situations and Dimi will be needed this season, that’s for sure. He’s the man with a touch that you cannot teach.
The trap has been set, now time to sit back, light a smoke and watch them turn on each other….
Pure Evil
Yolanthe also wants to open a fish and chip shop near Old Trafford.
Good King Wes’ lass last cooked trout when she ceased to reason.
So, according to Denton Davey, the Berb is a square peg in a round hole and Fergie probably tapped him up? Lol. The first could be argued, but the second is blatant conjecture. That doesn’t befit you Denton.
Lloyd
Its been mainly about some fun banter between the wee Wes and the aniti wee Wes cliques…
Fun way to get through the dreadful off season……. My team will still win though.
Still waiting for the gang to answer the question I posted……muhahaha
Modders
Petrov from Aston Villa would boss our midfield and an alternative to him should be Mohammed Sisoko or Marchisio from Juventus who we was linked last summer.
Aquilani would get 10+ goals for us and at least 18 assists, did anyone see him at Red Nev’s testimonial, breathtaking performance.
This is no time to put my Nani-second.
Cedars … Have you seen the “Most Interesting Man in the World” ads for Dos Equis beer? Not sure where in the world you are, and whether they use those ads there. Kills me — and I just realized, after your post at 0:07 that most of the lines apply equally well at The Berb. To wit:
“Both sides of his pillow are cool”
“Were he to pat you on the back, you would list it on your resume”
“His charisma is visible from outer space”
“His mother has a tattoo that says ‘Son’ ”
“At museums, he’s allowed to touch the art.”
“If he made love to your girlfriend, you would boast to your friends.”
“He once explored the Virgin Islands. When he left, they were just “The Islands.”
“When in Rome, they do as he does.”
“Sharks have a week dedicated to him.”
“Were he to punch you in the jaw, you would have to fight off the irresistible urge to thank him.”
“His blood smells like cologne.”
“He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.”
“He once paid a woman to say ‘No’ to him, just so he could understand rejection.”
“Police often question him, just because they find him interesting.”
“Alien abductors have asked him to probe them.”
“He wouldn’t be afraid to show his feminine side — if he had one.”
“Even in a typhoon, he never talks about the weather.”
“His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards”
“He speaks fluent French, in Russian.”
“His charm is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it.”
“He is always on the right side of the tracks. If he crossed to the other side, he’d still be on the right side.”
““He has never learned from a mistake…because he has never made a mistake. Mistakes are afraid of him ”
“He once postponed a total eclipse of the sun, because it interfered with his polo match.”
“Cigarettes are addicted to him.”
I wonder if The Berb is the Most Interesting Man’s son?
Denton … “I stopped reading there.”
Apparently not.
@denton davey
For the sake of argument, i’m with stateside on this one. Couple of season ago. No Park in the champions league final. did it mean fuck all? No. Whether you dislike him or not he represents the kind of player United are going to learn how to play with going forward. What i think is an insult is how a club like United cannot benefit form a player with football class as Berbatov.. Why? Because its not our style? Utter bollox if thats the case.
Personally i’m petrifiend with anxiety as to how we go into the season with the CM status quo staying as is. Its not doom and gloom by any stretch of the imagination. Good fortune could come our way still, transfer or no transfer. Modric would be good, wes too, Pogba fantastic, the German boy from Bayern, De Rossi, whatever. Concrete action is what is needed.
Here he comes!
Sneijderman!
CedarsDevil that question is very tuff.is like choosing btw hell and the deep blue sea…i wont mind having both
Stateside
That is fucking brilliant stuff, actually I think it IS Berba! I am copying that post and saving it
Cedars … Nani for Sneijder? It would depend on the cash component. I love Nani to death — but we are in better shape for wingers than in the midfield. And one wonders how long Nani will hang around anyway. I wouldn’t trade Hernandez for Sneijder, though. Or Vidic. Or Rooney. Evra might be tempting, but probably not. And I personally wouldn’t trade Berbatov for him either, since I have a sneaking suspicion they might work well together.
But it’s all hypothetical, of course.
Fuck Sneijder. And fuck Vucinic.
Sign Barton. And Lee fucking Cattermole.
I want to see Xavi, biscuits and Iniesta all on fucking stretchers…
Back to Black for Cedars. Not sure if he’ll make it out of rehab. Love is a losing game, but he’s met a woman called Valerie. Be frank with her Cedars.
Stateside
Sensible post, although I asked the question to stir things up as it were!
My mere evil intentions were to get the wee Wes gang to start fighting each other!
It’s a good thing your evil is not allergic to sunlight.
Willie
You can’t outfox, this sly dog!
Goodnight all!
Until we meet again Cedars.
so much to read…. mmmuuuhhhahhhhahhhha how fucking fun this place is….
Manchuchu
Haha, nice one
night wille….. you wee wes man….
Night Willie, I will be ready for another day my friend. Adios
BOFA
Too right, else I would be totally fucked!
Cedars … and maybe they will. By the way, there are plenty of those Interesting Man ads on youtube. Those quotes are all about him, but he has some of his own. Here’s one that could have been written by The Berb himself …. on speed-dating: “I assure you, most women do not consider speed a virtue.”
Honestly though, why would you want nani out? if we let him go, it will be one of the biggest cockup’s of all time, i honestly believe he’ll improve even more and if he can add more then he’ll break into the world class category.
Whether you like him or not, he only is the most technically gifted winger at the club, he is more of a match winner than young, valencia or park And he can only get better, yes his decision making can be suspect but he has improved on that and is class.tch winner than young, valencia or park And he can only get better, yes his decision making can be suspect but he has improved on that and is class.
Manchuchu – so basically you want hatchetmen in midfield and so we can finish games with 9 men? xavi and iniesta would run rings around cattermole and barton, they have absolutely no chance.Manchuchu – so basically you want hatchetmen in midfield and so we can finish games with 9 men? xavi and iniesta would run rings around cattermole and barton, they have absolutely no chance.
@StatesideAussie – Stay thirsty my friend!
Samuel – united WE stand with a great comment on the quality of Nani.
He can be a world-beater.
CedarsDevil – your salted cliquorice is sweet black comedy and music to our ears.
Fergie pls sign up nasri. Forget wes.
What a piece of nightmare news. Instead of a CM, we get linked to another striker Vucinic. Are we going to play with 10 strikers and a goalkeeper?
Anyway, it may be time to gamble on Pogba as CM. He’s young and fearless. Give him a few games to limber up. His close control is fantastic. And he can shoot on target too.
Keeper
Rio & Vidic
And 8 strikers
A 2-8 cool.
I always had a hunch when Man Utd won the CL they played a 4-6.
That’s plain stupid. Of course we can’t play with 8 strikers. We’ve got to have at least 4 defenders.
De Gea
Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra
Rooney, Vucinic, Nani, Hernandez, Berbatov, Young
I think midfielders are overated. Ferdinand and Vidic are good at lobbing the ball 50 meters out to the strikers. Let’s just play to our strengths. This formation will force all opposition midfielders to become defenders anyway. Barca, watch out, here we come!!!
=)
Chica Chicha … I don’t credit the Vucinic rumor. As for Pogba, I can’t wait to see hi (and the others). But it is a gamble in more ways than one. Not just for the team. It’s also a gamble with his career. The minute these guys step up to playing in the PL (as opposed to the Carling Cup), they will be exposed to all sorts of pressures, both on and off the pitch. It will be like nothing they have experienced before. Their every move, on and off the pitch, will be monitored and analyzed constantly — not by a few people here and there, and not just by us fans, but by rival coaches and players seeking to unsettle them, by the press, everyone. They’ll be praised and built up until they float, when they have some small success — and they’ll be torn down and stomped on for every perceived failing.
It’s OK to throw people in the deep end. Sometimes it works, and wonderfully well. It can also result in the player picking up bad habits that last a lifetime, or even “drowning”. When SAF decides to bring these guys into the first team, I hope it is because he thinks they are ready (or close enough to it), and not because he’s desperate to “make up the numbers.”
Berbapaths or Berbaphobes, and Berbaphiles
All of the above please.
Godzilla vs Berba who wins?
wee wed, a Freudian typo? or just a simple mistake…
@StatesideAussie good to have you back in Sac town and as always bang up posts mate.
Old Sac, heheheehe a knee hanger.
Sleep calls for Zibbie, have Red dreams all. (Nice Dreams just could not hold up to Up In Smoke)
My name,,,, isn’t it on the license man.. Dunna, Dunna, Dun Dun Dun. Dunna, Dunna, Dun Dun Dun. Momma told me to…..
19 going on 20, that,s what she told me officer. Fucking 15 wow……
You give Xavi and Iniesta too much credit.
Nobody can make too much kickyball without kneecaps.
And nobody gets sent off for injuring anyone if they do it in front of everyone in the world.
Just ask Mark Van Bommel.
WillieRedNut @ 0:29: “blatant conjecture”
Of course it is. But you have to admit that SAF has not been above doing such things. He has a long, long track record in that regard.
So what ? They ALL tap up each others’ players except, of course, M. Wenger who did not see it.
Zibbie … Old Sac, a knee hanger — that’s quite funny.
From gill’s interview and his comment about how things might change after the tour, i think; 1. The deal is almost done but the club has planned a huge unveilling. 2. SAF and Gill made an effort for a world class cm but failed and want the fans to know it’s not their fault.
Gourcuff anyone? Or even Hamsik? Sneijder is asking too much I believe (both on transfer price and wages)
As if we’re in for Vucinic!!! Sky Sports must be seriously lacking content to run with that one… unless there is some semblance of truth to it and the rumour mills are turning regarding Berba’s future. To be honest though, Vucinic is only 3 years younger than Berba, but nowhere near as good. I hope this is all bullshit!
Gourcuff is a good player, but fuck Hamsik. He ain’t United class. I do believe it will be Sneijder we end up signing though.
Correct me if i am wrong!! but my fear is Sneijder would just be another Owen Hargreaves….maybe good for 2 season the most. He injury prone….to many times. I really don’t mind waiting for Nasri another for free is he still want to join us…
The last thing United need is another average midfielder.
I reckon we are in for Sneijder. It would fill the gap between now and when Pogba, Tunnicliffe, and Morrison (if he doesn’t find his way in to a long prison sentance) are ready for the first team.
I wouldn’t mind Naseri too as he can play left wing as well as his prefered position in central midfield.
I dont know why everyone is stressing about the signing of another midfielder? It would seem SAF clearly knows he wants to add but wont buy unless either Nasri or Sneijder become available. For me personally I think it classic sir Alex activity in the market and we will sign neither and woudlnt suprise me if someone like Douglas Costa signs and it is all smoke screens to deter the bitters from getting involved.
Waiting for nasri? united were never interested and most likely will join city, wake up.
cedars- its almost like u single handedly keepin the sneijder waters at bay. I really appreciate it. And m on ur side, opinion wise.
Aussie- dat post praising berba was more like of rajnikanth( i guess u al knw him, or else google it haha ) towards d end.
To the red army- good afternoon from india !!
How can someone make this any clearer. WE ARE NOT SIGNING NASRI!!!!!. WE NEVER EVER PUT IN A BID FOR HIM!!!! FORGET ABOUT THAT FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
Sammuel and dannysoya – chill out fella’s if you think were not interested thats fine but SAF has enquired about him with Arse thats what he does, he speaks and gains interest so the player starts to think also. If United didnt want Nasri do you think Paddy Evra would continually speak to him in the press about coming to united. That is classic SAF. I do think he is City bound so I personally have forget about him but lets not kid ourselves we were definately more than just interested.
thundercats
Well come aboard to the light side!
@ giggs12gerrard0 – Totally agree with you mate. I believe if we could’ve got Nasri, the deal would’ve been done. IMO, Sir Alex definitely defined him as one of a few for that central midfield role.
I’d much rather, have an MG on my side, than a thundercat!
I see Aguerro has landed for a medical, class act and will definatelty make them bitter cunts better.
Damn I cannot get rid of him, he’s like a bloody shadow!
Thundercats, HO!
He man would kill them damn cats!
Samuel. Again you seem to argue for the sake. We were in for Nasri as it goes mate.
Giggs gerrard. Hello mate. How are you? Spot on about Fergie and signings. Although I wouldn’t concern yourself with that fat cunt Aguero. Decent player but over rated imo and have been saying that for a while. At one point he couldn’t even get in athletico side. The fact he is maradonas son in law has gave him all this exposure. Looks a stone overweight to me. And what’s with this “kun“ nonsense. No matter how good he is he will not do for the bitters what the Judas did. Their best player by a country mile.
I wish I was overweight like Kunt!
He’s a bloody good player.
A tad over rated, but far better than the one paced Serb.
I am actually glad the noisy neighbour is signing aguero, cause it just proved that clubs are selling higher cause they know city is bidding. Just look at torres few years ago at alt. madrid when he was so good everyone want to sign him and eventually got him at 25MILLION! Honestly even if today torres is valued at 25millions i will still sign him. Regarding the sneijder rumours, i don’t get it why people keep saying he has no re-sale value! I mean if he comes in and we do indeed win the champions league and the premier league then trust me nobody is going to remember he was signed for that amount!
Dannysoya.
How can I make this any clearer we are in for Nasri and have been since the start of June.Why do you think Wenger said that same week he will not sell him to United.Were in for him and we will get him it’s a stick on certainty for two reasons,he wants better pay and wants prizes.He will get both with United and play for the number one team in the position he prefers to play game set and match United.
Its obvious Nasri is our man, why then will we be biding our time?? He will be magnificent alongside Nani. Another interesting prospect is Javi Martinez and that is if we dont move for De Rossi; he reminds me of Carrick-of-old..tactically sound but with a huge upside.
@Stateside. Yeah, Dimi is dat cooooool.
Just to fuel Denton Dave’s theory of us going after Modric with $25m + berbs, perhaps this is why we’ve enquired about Vulcinic as Berbs replacement possibly?
So would you keep Berbatov and hold onto the $25m to invest in WS or anyone else that fits the bill?
OR
Get Modric and Vulcinic for $25m + Berbs + $15m
For me I’d hang onto Berbs.. why? The man is fucking class.
Vucinic story is BS.
Modric will stay at Spurs.
We’ll get WS. Hopefully…
good on ya david
King Eric
Im all good mate how about yourself? I think the thing with Aguerro is he is probably more suited to the prem and I was more than happy with their pairing of Balotelli and Dzeko they would have won fuck all.
I stand by what I said above SAF clearly wanted Nasri or Wes I think the Glazers would have preferred Nasri.
Willie is spot on. That vucinic is fucking dogshit. Its a total non story. This cunt has been linked to us for the last three summers.
Berbagasm!
What if we dont buy, wont be end of the world for sure!
All combinations that the Scot could look to use in the upcoming season. All possible center midfield combos explained, what might work and might not
http://www.thehardtackle.com/2011/man-united%e2%80%99s-centre-midfield-a-million-dollar-question/
I read on another site that nasri stated himself he will leave arsenal only for man shitty, so no point in waiting for him, and it’s better to move quickly as well now, as shitty got aguero and have a more deadly attack now and more am sure will come from them in terms of signings. So It’s time to make a decision on the midfield, and if needed, give extra training to the youngsters to promote one of them. With our current squad, it would be yet another difficult season away from home, as we have almost the same players, and with that VDS, Scholes no longer part of the team, VDS did well to keep us afloat away from home the past season, will De Gea or Lindegaard be able to handle these games?
So while waiting for a decision, here’s my list of some worthy players who can be bought:
1. Douglas Costa
2. De Rossi
3. Ganso
4. Pastore
5. Gourcuff (someone mentioned him in this topic)
6. Martinez
7. Sneijder (if they lower his price and he accepts a cut in wages) – last resort
