I think the player we get from Madrid this summer isn't Ramos. I think its Bale.

New contract for Sergio anyone?

Agree most likely the STARTING formation will involve rooney as the main lone striker. But when we are 2-0 down or struggling to break down stokes parked bus we will need a front 2 with Wilson just not being good enough quality (yet) imo. Not to mention if/when rooney gets injured we need a high quality frontman to take his place. I dare not mention being 2-0 down and rooney being injured.......

I agree with you - which is why I can't work out who we will buy. Its also why our links to Muller makes sense - as he can play through the centre and from a wider or withdrawn role - that versatility can put him into other positions in a variant of 433 with success.

The argument is possibly that we need a striker that would be ok being back up while also being capable of leading the line if Rooney is injured or rested or dropped. It is a tough squad position to buy for imo. Though I suppose City got Bony for what I reckon is a similar role and he isn't a bad striker!

Of the list I posted - Muller, Bale and Cavani could offer that variation between wide and central (Bale has apparently said he would like to play more centrally) so could play with or instead of Rooney as required. Memphis is also one that is seen as a winger/second striker type player, so there is an option there, maybe. Also a possibility that Januzaj could be trained and matured into that role.

Only two things can make a man smile like that. Considering who it is he is hugging, it's probably money. :P

Saying goodbye? 😛

as long as we get Otamendi, wouldn't be too bothered to miss out on Ramos - have never felt him coming to United is a realistic prospect.

I agree, and with the reports floating around that the reason Real didn't go for him was because he already had an agreement with us makes it sound like its on. Probably waiting till he is finished his Hols before announcing it

Ramos looks so happy that he has been told he can leave and join United

We will sign two CBs, two midfielders, a striker/RW - that is why we are interested in Muller and Bale, for that area, so we will have Mata/??? for that position.
Presume we have Darmian for right back. We have Depay for LW.
Then a goalkeeper.
That is 8 players but then we have let go a lot of players/expected to go.
But LVG has done this kind of thing in the past...

There isn't a snowballs chance in hell of us signing 8 players.

This forum knows about the magical world of the transfer market and that some fans can bend it to thier will.

Darmian arriving on a train to Manchester has not being lost on us believers

Are we settled on Aguero so or should we look at Matic or ozil

Robson99

Can the following happening in the next few weeks

OUT. Rvp, Chico, De Gea, Evans and Di Maria.

IN. Otamendi, Darmain, Schneiderlin, Schweinstiger, Muller and Gaitain

Muller and Gaitain would be perfect for his preferred 433 formation

Nalz

I haven't seen much of Gaitain but ive read and heard average reports on him

Lovely Bloke

Gaitan? ffs

PhlegmyMoses

Would like to hang on to Di Maria. He has a long contract so we have no need to sell and he is potentially excellent.

Mr.Crinklewood

Wonder what Vidic is doing now...


Maybe building Ikea furniture...

Maybe playing with his kitten

Maybe wondering where he left his Chromecast

Swapping Di Maria for Gaitian is like swapping a Ferrari for a Lada,

Yes I would agree. But if Di Maria wants out then let him off too f*ck. But there aren't too many top wingers available so we may have no choice but Gaitain

Cheers, but I mean NOW. Is he ironing, playing backgammon, shaving, or on the phone to Chris Kirkland.

I reckon he's done the aul classic my aul lad did one night.

Coming home from the big smoke. Few pints in him.
Fell asleep. Missed the kildare stop. Train goes the whole way to Galway. Aul lad wakes up on the carriage back in Hueston with the train being cleaned the following morning

Replace the train with a plane and that's what's happening our new boy.
Few pints in the airport. Falls asleep on plane.
Wakes back up in Torino.
Rinse & repeat.
