Fletcher could leave.

yea paying 45 m for falcao right now does seem stupid.

But He is not interested in playing for Monaco I think, so even if we wont buy him this term he will still be on sale next season, at a reduced price in all probability. May be we can buy him then ? For something like a 25M, will be a decent capture? and of course we can pay the wage he asks which will automatically put us ahead in the race again as opposed to teams like Juve which will be interested in him. hmm

by Glory Thu Jan 15, 2015 10:42 am

and the fact that he is in love with us and his life in Manchester will also work in the favour.
The obvious stumbling block is the presence of LvG however. If he has the guts to sell van persie to some big Italian club (a win-win as van perise's game will suit there the best i guess) for about 10 m and then buy falcao for about 25 m, and also buy someone like a dybala for 40, overall we can have 2 awesome strikers for just over 50m, with rooney too in the mix.

Palermo say they're having trouble tying up Dybala's new contract. He'll have a year left on his contract come this summer. I shall watch him vs Roma tomorrow hmm

by Busby Babe Mon Jan 19, 2015 12:58 pm

Balague is saying we had a bid rejected for Otamendi, he can play RB too which makes me think it is true. LvG loves his multi-functional players.

Was Dybala any good?

by jibers Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:30 pm

We need another CM asap. Carrick is finished. He can't dictate traffic let alone a football game atm.

He's pretty complete tbh, fast, can ran at you, deceptively strong, I think he'll need to play in a two striker system though, because he's not winning any long balls (he's quite short). He scored a decent goal, but seemed like he was tired in the second half. I think he just came back from injury. He missed a very good chance too. I'll need to watch him more though. Too distinguish if it was rawness or tiredness. Transfermarkt says he can play RW too.

Dybala has most goals in europe for player U21

by Busby Babe Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:40 pm

I know Zapata is shit but he still physically dominated him. Btw, he did score

by B-Mac Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:45 pm

good article just published by the Guardian on him

Valencia confirm they've received a bid of £27m thought to be from Man Utd for defender Nicolas Otamendi. #mufc

MUFC have made 1st offer to renew @AndrinhoPereira's contract but it has been turned it down

West Ham and Valencia are fighting over Darren Fletcher, he has 6 months on his contract left. Fee would be around £1.5 mil

Manchester United offer €80 million to take Pogba in June (via La Stampa)

by Glory Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:18 pm

lol like an expensive loan. Proud

All this could have been avoided if Fergie had played him v Arsenal instead of playing frigging Rafael and Oshea in midfield :facepalm:

That was the day we lost him.

But 80mill though? I dunno how I feel about that.

by Glory Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:28 pm

Its mixed, the feeling. I dont want the club to do it. But then I see him, his quality and his immmmmmmmmmmmense potential. Might as well just reconsider the stand and pay whatever they are asking.

by B-Mac Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:17 pm

not my money Laughing

Glazers been cheap for years time to start acting like Madrid tbh

they always get there man, weather it's overpaying or w/e...i'm sick of Andersons and Cleverleys and Fletchers in the midfield.

by B-Mac Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:30 pm

Raphael Varane and Nathaniel Clyne have been heavily scouted by Man Utd and both are on United's radar at the moment. [@AndyMitten]

De Gea stories to Real Madrid are completely untrue as he is happy at Manchester United & Perez doesn't want to raise GK issues again. [MARCA]

Pogba is going to be too expansive tho, probably about Zidane/Bale/CR7's money.

Spoiler:

Strootman would do the trick and is going to cost 1/4 1/3 of that.

Roman and his crumbling rubles can't be spending that kind of cash

we'll buy both imo Laughing

by Busby Babe Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:11 pm

When your agent is Raiola, it was never Pogba's intention to stay here for long (his reasons for leaving at the time were pure though), just like it's inevitable he will leave Juventus soon. I'm a big, big fan of Pogba, but he's never coming back time to shut that book imo.
