Wouldn't think so, maybe ask Mars Bar.

Have some respect for the elderly in here people.

jeez!!!:P

Actually, since seeing that Natkho turned down staying with Rubin, and he's without a contract atm, we should really attempt to sign him. 25, talented on the ball, can take penalties. With him out of contract, there's not much risk, and whilst he probably isn't the answer like Vidal would be (not going to get him anyway), he's at least an improvement on Cleverley. Would be much more effective at getting the ball from defense to attack quickly, and is decent under pressure.

Gibson is/was no where near United quality. He stood out like a sore thumb when we were/are completely lacking quality in that position. The same as Tom Cleverley does now.

Go back and watch some of the games he played for us. He was not "our worst player ever" (you'll always have people who got OTT with their comments, same as people with Fellaini now), but he was never going to make the grade at United.

If we still had him, he'd be included in the list of players that most people would like to see shipped out: Rio, Evra, Giggs, Cleverley, Young, Ando.

He wouldn't improve our squad.

Has she the inside line? Or does she just ask someone else to do it for her?

Kew! I had you down for older than a Belieber, more of a college student Taylor swift in guy form ! Not a silver haired Don Johnson type, or are you closer to Chuck Norris?

Natkho, Matuidi, Menez. All available on a free (Natkho right now obv). Surely at least one would be willing to join. All would improve the squad.

I see one time Utd target from a few years ago Steven Defour been linked with Fulham and Villa,has he been struggling to get games at Porto? I remember SAF sending him a letter one time wishing all the best recovering from an injury

Sorry if this has been asked already but this thread is moving along rapidly. Now that United are floated on the stock exchange do United have to notify them before a deal can be announced because of the money involved?

I think that's the case! not 100% though.

Sky Sources understand that Chelsea's Juan Mata will have a medical at Manchester United tonight and will complete his move to Old Trafford on Friday.


Get in!!!

No Chucck Norris just yet but im beginning to look like Jonjo Shelvey more every day:pac:

Mata still in London apparently.

@howardnurse

Howard Nurse ‏@howardnurse 55s

David Moyes has left Carrington. No deal for Mata today. Medical likely to be tomorrow. #MUFC

If this transfer falls through it will be the worst ever! I hope for all our sakes it goes through

Those comments from Vidal make me love the guy

What a fùcking man!

He's also on about 105k a week now, we can double that for, as the man himself says, the best midfielder in the world

God it would be a fantasy signing and it would have every team above us in the table in meltdown

I was 9 when Rooney signed

I always thought he would be good to have in the squad, and I did defend him quite a bit. But my favourite Gibson memory is being in the pub for the Champions League quarter final against Bayern, and one of my Liverpool mates started laughing at me for saying I was glad Gibson was in the lineup. I gave my reasons why and he continued laughing, then told the lads at the next table and there were a significant amount of people actually laughing at me...

Needless to say I had the last laugh, as not 3 minutes into the game, Daz did this:

And I did this:

If it happens it happens

I love Mata and there's no doubt we need more world class but if PSG swoop in with a mental offer there's not much we can do

We should be using the 37m and more to get a world class CM in

Thats the type of player any club needs.

Love players who believe in themselves.

Part of the reason why I like Nani and would be sad to see him go.

For all the abuse he received in his early years (and now as well), to still have the confidence to try things is amazing.

ESPN any way reliable?

Rayne Wooney

Seems Vidal turned down Bayern to work with Conte back when he transferred, may be hard to attract him with Moyes. Agent Fergie should be deployed

I suppose IF it happens it will be 4-2-3-1

Midfield of Fellaini and Carrack
Front three of Mata,Rooney,Jan/Nani/Val/wellbeck or whoever else!!

Rvp up top !

I like!

ESPN: Kagawa + cash for Gundogan once Mata deal is completed.

Plenty lads retweeting this.

I have two concerns
1. Just get Mata done first
2. He played no game time this season.

I think it might have legs though. Not sure Dortmund will want to sell and can see Madrid sticking their nose in

Manchester United will offer Shinji Kagawa to Dortmund for Ilkay Gundogan plus cash when the Mata deal is completed. [ESPN]

Link to the above? Can't see it.

Ha, that came out badly, edited!

Vidal would be the dream signing now or in the summer but Gundogan is a very good player and would be happy to see him join,would have concerns over his injury if he joined now he might not get up to speed until next season.Exciting times all the same.

as has been mentioned there are plenty of CM's who would be realistic targets and wouldn't cost a huge amount.One of those bought in now would help a lot .

Rayne Wooney

Rayne Wooney proposition of the day


Kagawa + Hernandez + cash

for Reus and Gundogan


Take it or leave it Klopp

RobertKK

Website I never heard of before- warning.

“I am not aware of them,” Vidal said. “I keep getting linked to other clubs, like Manchester United recently. That's just normal when you put in good performances at a top club.”

the bad news

“I have won two Italian championships and am under contract until 2017. I want to win the Champions League with Juventus until then.”

What if Rooney leaves in the summer?

Need to go out and buy two strikers probably then.

Rooney and Phil Neville just started following Mata on Twitter.

If anyone ever doubted it...

Cavani :pac:

If we were to magically get Reus and Gundogan along with Mata there wouldn't be a chance of us missing out on Europe

It's all fantasy talk, but with Lew going to Bayern, a poacher is what they need, they'll take Kagawa back with open arms and he'll slot in with Mkhitaryan/Aubameyang. Cash to replace Gundogan (they probably already have a replacement in their youth system) and it's not a bad deal for either side. It obviously would benefit us more though

Now back to football manager

Does that mean Rooney is off to Chelsea???:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Rightly or wrongly . Kagawa. Nani and hernandez can be used smartly in getting in New players the manager needs/wants from Dortmund . Juve or valencia.. I'd prefer hernandez to wait and welbeck to go but we don't need anyone from Stoke

Juve have been reported frequently as wanting Nani....Llorente has'nt fit in at Juve and wants out, chico could replace him....and we throw in Kagawa to replace their departing Pogba and Vidal a bit of cash for Juve too and bobs the job....
