United agree Powell deal

Kharrell

He might come on tour with us, see how he fits in with the squad and may get sent out on loan after. Might as well have pre-season with us, see where he is ability wise compared to the rest of the squad and allow us to see if he needs to go out on loan. May be that he hits the ground running and Fergie thinks he can play a part in the season. Might get some Carling Cup games and not forgeting the lower leagues can loan players once the transfer window has closed so might get loaned out mid september if it doesn't look like he will get much playing time

Incredibly out of the loop this summer, how much did Kagawa set us back? And what are the rumours of how much Powell is costing?

Kagawa was 12m and Powell costing around 4m.

Few different figures for Kagawa, most common being €14m rising to €17m depending on trophies etc.

Powell rumoured to be €2m up front and rising to €4/5m.

But lads is he any good? Has anyone see him playing 4 or 5 full games or just clips from YouTube.

SAF says that he has been scouted for a few months, so I'm sure they've seen enough in him to end up signing him.

v3ttel

Not seen much of him, but with all the rumors of the clubs that were interested, and the rave reviews from others, I'm really happy with our business so far.

To be honest it wont matter what you've seen him do even if you have seen him play the 4 or 5 games cause he is about to leap up 3 divisions to the premiership and only god knows how he will perform.

Think we just have to believe the hype and wait and see.

The next Gerrard is what has been said about him.

Still early days boys and 2 signings made already. Is it unrealistic of me to hope for 2 or 3 more signings? I hope not! We could do with another cm, not to mention the lb problem.

He is wearing Suit. That's good enough.

I would be surprised to see Park leave, fair enough he had a bad season but it's not like Fergie to get rid so quickly *cough*Evra*cough*. If Park can get back to putting in the epic big game type performances that we're used to seeing from him then I think it would be mad to ship him out.

Fenix

Aparently Russian media are reporting that Nani has signed a contract with Anzhi for in around £170k / week, probably bull****.

Also think park with leave, how will Evra cope without him?!

Giggsy11

Read that Joshua King played 90 mins for Norway U21 and set up winning goal, with Keane injured and Owen, Berba leaving, anyone think he will get chances next season in league cup games?

Jax Teller

Delighted about that signing . Thing I like about him he looks like a man instead of been a skinny little whippet .

I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave at all. His game relies heavily on covering as much of the pitch as possible which will become harder for him now that he's 31, his passing was never great and though he got important goals his shooting wasn't great either.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave, nor would I be surprised if he was still here next season but I would be surprised if he was offered a new contract.

kryogen

Happy with the business done to this point, now just one more actual central midfielder would be nice, don't see it happening now for some reason.

I don't want another 3-4 more signings for sure, you can't have that much of an influx of new players in a team in my opinion anyway, need time to blend then. Powell for the future obviously, so a central midfielder now who will improve the first team and Kag would be great business, the only area needs strengthening then is someone to push Evra for his place, not necessarily someone to come in and be our first choice left back though so doesnt need to be high profile or cost too much.

Eathrin

I would be annoyed, if I'm honest, if Park is offered a new contract.

AFAIK he signed a new one early last season or during the season before last so should still presumably have a year left? Depends on when it was signed I guess

Edit: They confirmed he signed a new deal 12th August 2011 which takes him through to 2013 at the earliest, think there is an option to extend if they wish

I thought we had a policy of only offering 1 year contracts to players over 30?

Think I remember hearing that when we sold JO'S and Wes.

Delighted Powell is on board. SAF has picked good young players from the domestic game recently and the signs are this could be another one.

Eathrin

In hindsight now, who would you guys have preffered to get last summer, Young or Oxlade-Chamberlain?

Young probably? Not sure. Young has delivered in his first season imo.

Young has been too inconsistant for me. The Ox shows lots of potential but he's better suited to Arsenal than us.

Been important though all the same. Scored against Arsenal, Spurs and won the penalty v QPR and scored v Blackburn too aswell as Blackburn.

That much money for AOC would be a big gamble, where as Young was proven to be a top Premier League player for a number of years. Using the Stewart Downing comparison, we can safely say that it was a good deal.

That would have been how I saw it at the time, but Ox has been fantastic for such a young player for Arsenal. That amount of money for himself playing in the lower leagues definitely was quite a gamble though.

I am shocked when United actually sell players. I cant see anyone wanting to buy Park. Sure Berbarov is still a United player.
The only way is down for these players and i suppose its hard for them to try not to sink down too far when they leave.

It's possible that a club would buy Park for the commercial benefits, in terms of ability I can't see too many takers when you consider his age and wages.
