Manchester United Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - 2013/14

£25 million is the speculated minimum price, so if he can be got then find what Bayern wants and do the deal.
It could turn out cheap if it gets us 4th place in the league.

25million would be a bargain for Kroos. He is a phenomenal talent.

Utd should make a bid,be interesting to see if the Kroos camp are serious about leaving Bayern or just holding out for a better offer from Bayern.

Yeah that's it. There seems to be some discontent in the Kroos camp and a big offer NOW might be our best chance. You know for a fact that Chelsea and City are probably sniffing and, despite the loosening of our purse strings, I still fancy them to outbid us if it's left to the summer.

35m for a player that could go a long way to solving out greatest weakness for the next 7-8 years.

Girlfriend telling me hes amazing and hasn't been here in so long. Seemingly its more people outside of Dublin going mental over it.

So mental that they have been queuing since Saturday night according to newstalk, in order to get into shops with ticketmasters

SO MENTAL that they don't realise it's 2014, and that tickets sell out in minutes via online sales.

Reading some "crocodile" tears from posters who queued for a few nights and when they were allowed in, were told pretty much straight away it was sold out. Anyone who queues for tickets coming from ticketmaster, is a proper mug.

TBH queueing up is the only way of guaranteeing a ticket. Loads of people online failed to get tickets today. When someone buys a ticket from a vendor they take a ticket from someone in an online queue (this is assuming all tickets are in process online - like today) So basically online you can keep getting gazumped by people in queues.


So for a massive concert like GB, the best method is to queue for for a few days. Despite how mental that may seem.

/back to united now!

80 Million, sign Kroos and Martinez.

Dominate European football.

Raf - Jones - Evans - Shaw

Martinez

Kroos

Mata

Rooney

Average age of that side would be about 23/24 ?

Ed Woodward was at Carrington this morning talking to Moyes.

Presumably Ed is looking for a fitness program and was not talking about transfers.

Bargain for genuine world class CM. Seriously.....more I'm reading stuff from german outlets the more it sounds like Bayern are really not budging on this.

Said yesterday how they have a history in being a bit balsy when it comes to wage negotiations.

I agree with all that's been said, throw the cash and make them make a decision.

Helps that the game Moyes was at, Kroos was pretty excellent in aswell, as he has been in most games for Bayern in the last 18 months.

Always find it funny when a 'minimum price' is mentioned.

Was watching SSN the other day and they say Newcaslte want a 'minimum' of 20million for Cabaye.... would love to hear those conversations.

PGS: We want to buy Cabaye.
Newcastle: We want 20million minimum.
PSG: Ok, we bid 20million.

What is the minimum bit (especially if leaked publicly). Who the feck would bid more than it!

That's all well and good, but the club is also run as business. You don't just blow £35m and £8m a year or the bones of £70m over a four year contract.

"Where is Kroos..."

If we had midfield option like kroos would drastically change our fortunes... if kroos can be gotten then get him if its 25 mill that gets him great but throw money at bayern and tell kroos u can have what money u want

Don't think people are overly familiar with Kroos.

To put this in perspective( well my humble opinion) while the rumours at 25m, we should offer atleast 35m. If we were happy to spunk 40m on Fabregas, then we can go higher for Kroos.

There is nothing in Europe at the moment, that I'd rate higher then Kroos. That includes Xavi, Iniesta, Schweinsteiger....anyone you name. This bloke is re-writing what a midfielder can do, and does.

25m is bargain land, if there is any truth in any of it, as Futureguy said, we should be chucking barrels of cash at Bayern to sign him up.

And he's not a no.10, he's a thorough bred through and through centre midfielder, who can launch attacks and orchestrate attacks as well as he can track back and protect a defense.

This is a guy who has a 92% pass completion rate this season in the Champions league....and his first instinct is to drive forward.

That team would be epic, but it's 3 signings that ain't gonna happen. Possibly 1, maybe 2, but never 3.

Bench for the next 5 years would be fairly solid as well, Smalling, Chico, Welbeck, Giggs.

Did the tour there a few months ago. Fantastic stadium.

Seen that you were after a Kross jersey, be prepared to pay the big bucks at the ground!

Edit: Hahaha, just flicked back to the last page. Looks like you have already seen the price

I know, hadn't given it a thought, I was getting it. Now I'm not going to bother, mad money....

Hopefully can find somewhere that does German national jerseys with print that don't want to take me for a ride.

Isn't that how they make their money and remain owned by the fans, you're paying twice the price for the geansai but you're also essentially buying a piece of the club...in which case DO NOT BUY THAT JERSEY....they've enough players, they don't need our cash!!

There is a lot of "reading between the lines " being done around a lot of media outlets, but there is a common theme emerging that Pep sees Thiago as the long term creative, dynamic CM for Bayern. And while the assumption was Martinez giving way, it might actually have been Kroos all along

Not buying it, but still interesting comments going on about the situation around Europe.

A lot of the UK paper journalists on Twitter are saying that our business is pretty much done, Nani isn't going anywhere, and the only new recruit would be an unlikely procurement of Kroos

He only has 18 months on his contract, that'd be the reason why the mooted fee is around £25m.

There are no reliable sources even indicating that a deal could be realistically done this month so I'm not quite sure why he's generating so much discussion. It's a pipedream as things stand.

Some think he's an average midfielder and Evertons best days with him was huffy hoof ball while he played further forward.

I disagree, overpriced but still better than a lot make him out to be.

Similar noise used to be targetted at Nani few years back, different players but grief central

I see Rene is trying to take Tunnicliffe and Larnell Cole to Fulham.

Would be great for the lads, not sure if its loan or permanent but hopefully a loan or something with a buy-back.

Express reporting Spurs want to take Nani on loan.

If we send him to Spurs, Moyes and Woodward would want shooting. Would be an incredibly stupid move from United.
