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

I know theres a good few games left (17) but 4th place is going to be very very hard to achieve now for Utd.
Beating liverpool to 4th place would be as sweet as winning a trophy!


Edit-checked there. 17games left.

It depends if we buy any players in this transfer window. I still think we have a 50% chance of getting it without new players and 65-70% with new players

We're 5 points off 4th. Not that impressed with anyone outside of Arsenal and City. Even Arsenal are a bit meh. City will win it fairly easily IMO. They have far better players than Arsenal. Chelsea are improving though but they're far from impressive. I think we'll finish 3rd/4th in the end.

Moyes was there for a reason. Bring Vidal and Pogba and I be happy:D

The_Kew_Tour

Fair ****s to Young too for making that ill United fans day.

Call him what you like on the pitch, but that was as class off it.

Straight swap

We get Vidal and Pogba

They get Ando,Tom Clev and look they can have Bebe as well.

Be a good test for Pirlo

Hococop

Couldn't agree more I mean they paid 1.5 for pogba we paid 15 for Anderson that means he is 10 times the player ( no fat joke intended)

Huh, so that's how it works.

DM_7

Maybe he is after Pirlo to replace Giggs, younger legs.

Rayne Wooney

Him being there today is to do with the summer window rather than now I think

There's going to be a lot happening in the summer, a lot of ins and outs I feel

Throw in Buttner to sweeten the deal:D. Seriously though I dont envisage major signing this window. It will be the summer before we see big name signings

I just can't imagine more than 2 or 3 transfers in and out this Summer considering how inactive its been under Moyes. Hopefully there is a lot of changes. Just can't imagine it.

Moyes in general is pretty active in the market though isnt he? Seem to remember it that way from his Everton days anyway

Agueroooo

Coentrao on the way...

"@GuillemBalague: It is not true Coentrao has got a deal with Manchester United. More tomorrow"

More tomorrow? why cant he just say it now ffs?

With the exception of smalling and perhaps Nani hes pretty bang on the money.

Rayne Wooney

God I'd love to see Coentrao signed tonight just to see what Ballague says

He'd be squirming for the next few weeks and I'd love every minute

Yeah in fairness this shows Evertons transfers in and out over the Moyes years and he did move out a lot of players. Please God let him do something substantial this Summer if he doesn't get sacked cause I'd be seriously depressed going into next season with a similar squad.

that's why

Balague is a bluffer.

The_Kew_Tour

He probably telling truth I just dont know why he has to wait.

I dont have any problem if he was wrong if he got good info. But waiting to tell us more tomorrow is just him being a "banned word"

GSPfan

There's something about Coentrao I can't really get over. Remember he was sitting on the bench when he wasn't in the match day squad. Is he a bit silly or something. Mourinho and the whole team were laughing at him. He had to get up and leave the bench and go to the stands.

Also, if its not true, then what the **** more is there to say!

Gob****e, would make me fairly positive about the deal having a chance since he says it is off

Everyone knows he has a chip on his shoulder, average footballer with an average brain

Probaly something to do with a precontract agreement in place to sign him this summer

I re-read the tweet,he says we have a deal done.

Evra injured so Coentrao in for the Chelsea game?

Devil08

Astori is a solid defender. He will be snapped up by someone soon. He's broken into the Italy squad and I'd say he will be a starter for them in next couple of years if not sooner.

IamtheWalrus

Is this Coentrao any good? Why is he not getting a spot at Real? And why a loan deal?

He is decent. Marcelo works better with how they play.... and a loan deal makes more sense. If he turns out to be not as good we don't have to sign him.

Bill: ok guys, tell me this, what do you know about this Coentrao bucko?
John: Well I havnt seen much of him Bill to be honest
Eamonn: Hes a good player Bill, not a great player. Bit of a cod at times, you know what these foreign lads are like.

He was good at Benfica and a hot pospect before he moved to Madrid. Marcelo is Madrid's starting left back. Real Madrid are destroyers of players.

Do we just ditch Evra for the Chelsea game if he's signed this week :pac:

Coentrao thought he was on the bench for the game, but he wasn't on the team sheet. Everyone laughs as he has to walk past the cameras and into the stands. In the players area in the stands and doesn't see the spare seat next to Marcello so he stands in the stands. Not a good day for him.

I wouldnt actually, think we will need big characters on the field, hopefully he will have one of his rare good days! He does tend to turn up more in the big matches

Yeah true

Though I think Jose will exploit it and play Willian down that side which could cause us a lot of problems. Chelsea haven't been convincing at all this season, I just hope they don't decide to go up a few gears starting against us.

Benzema's laughing gets me everytime in that video

Coentrao only played 4 league games for Madrid so he wudnt even be fit.

Still tempting I know, given the way evra has been defending lately
