lol.

Arsenal want either Chris Smalling, 24, or fellow Manchester United defender Phil Jones, 22, as part of a deal which will take 28-year-old centre-back Thomas Vermaelen the other way.

Daily Mirror.

Haha so since the Hummels talk has faded from the papers, The Guardian have gone back to the aul Sneijder story again.
Apparently United have tried to "woo" Sneijder into joining us. Don't claim sources but who needs them!

I think they mean "shoo". As in, sorry Wes, we already have 18 players who can play #10.

Oh yea, I know where getting the same recycled stories in the papers but were linked with Cuadrado in a lot of them again. Apparently a bid of £27.7 million has been made. Then again the sources seem to be coming from Spain and it wouldn't be the first time they have ran with a story that wasn't true.

What do people think? Worth the money?

Pace, skill, strength, good end product. A significant upgrade on our current options. He is one of the players I'd like us most to sign and it's semi realistic that we would get him if we tried. He had a great season with Fiorentina and did quite well at the world cup.

Hopefully the stories are true, it was reported we were considering a bid but the Hummels rumours were getting more space on the papers. Today some people are saying that a bid has been launched. Hard to tell what is a genuine source though and whats just people trying to fill up space on the papers.

Can't see these being Ancelottis signings this has Perez writing all over it, They sign Suarez we sign James, That team would be far to open and unbalanced, Ancelotti got it spot on last year when he went 4-4-3 with Di Maria being the key to the system, I hope it doesn't work out for them, What must the likes of Isco be thinking annoying club :mad:

Lads I think there'll plenty of value in madrid's exits this summer.

Would love Illaramendi at the club, unbelievable player who won't be seeing too much gametime now that Khedira seems to be staying.

Khedira seems to be great value, Di Maria is a crazy price.

would expect them to cover most of the Jrod money with them 2 anyway, then Kross for the money they paid for him is just a steal.

that could go down as one of the best transfers theyve ever done.

I don't just mean to cover the transfers but some of the squad are bound to want to be off with reduced game time on offer, they have some serious players who will be down the pecking order now. Think illarramendi will be a starter for them next season?

Can't wait for the first game, 3 o clock Thursday morning though why couldn't they have it earlier!

He's not out of his depth at all, just been messed around a little in that circus of a club. He was Sociedad's star player when they qualified for the CL, was an absolute machine that season. Would probably cost a lot given that he signed a six year contract though.

Gah, think I may have mistook your reply above to one of my posts earlier the wrong way, thought you were having a dig.

Didn't realise you were an actual RM fan, so on the chance that you were being genuine, yes I think he will be a fantastic signing for Madrid. Sure it must be maddening for the likes of Isco who arrived with great expectation but who now look like they may never get a ''real'' opportunity to hang on to a starting place, but, tbh I'd have Rodriguez in the side ahead of him and even though United similarly have no real need to a buy a player of his position, I'd have blown the load if we had bought him or any player of his quality. He won't turn out to be one of those big money flops where the less profile player in the squad ends up with the last laugh.

Thecon21

Madrid are like playing Footy Manager after being in the editor and giving yourself 1bn to start with.. Buy all the good players, following season buy all the next best players, shunning your stars from the previous season..

They literally operate like a manager game.. Should be fun to watch but I worry about the balance of their MF.

I seen 10 pages of posts since I checked earlier this afternoon and thought we had signed something (sponsor or player). Nope 10 pages about ITK posters, What David Gill did or didn't say in 2011 about Sneijder and how Real Madrid will line up next year.

We need a signing before this place completely blows up

I had a similar experience to you earlier today, and the first post I read was a quoted article from tuttosport regarding positive developments in the Vidal to United transfer. "Great" I thought, "Here we fúcking go!" 10 pages later - nothing, nada, zilch! :pac:

There was a game of hangman a few pages back.

We started with gob****es.

Turns out the answer was gobobbles.

It has now been adopted as a slur word in the thread.

Ed Woodwards reaction if he manages to sign Vidal and Hummels

Van Gaal has got great big balls

Wenger's are so very small

Pellegrini, his are teeny

and Brendan Rodgers has no balls at all.

Too many syllables in the last line for it to work properly imo.

Lads can you subscribe to MUTV for one month only? Do you sign up and cancel straight away?

Adamocovic

The preseason is looking very entertaining, Madrid, Roma and Inter. Cant wait to see what sort of formations we try and if any players step up their game. I know the preseason doesn't mean an awful lot. We've seen players have great preseasons and then do nothing all year, but Im still looking forward to it.

I know I can't guess what United will do, but you would imagine Ed has gone back to try sort out another transfer or two, so I wouldn't be surprised seeing a new face join us before the end of the week. I reckon Blind, De Vrij or Vermaelen. Hard to tell though.

I think they tie you to a year contract..could be wrong though.

"A 12 month contract applies for all services. A cancellation fee will apply should you cancel during the first 12 months."

Yeah they have us trumped! Would have been nice if they decided to make the channel free during the preseason.
