Transfer Rumours

[harv]

The Metro are saying that United have upped their bid to £49.6m for Ramos now, and he's told both United and Real Madrid that he wants to play at Old Trafford next season.

[harv]

United may have cooled their interest in Clyne because Van Gaal may be giving Varela a chance of first team action. Zidane was a big fan of his when he went on loan to Barcelona B team. Haven't seen him play but I think he'll play during pre-season. I still want to see Rafael given a go, although young Varela has been likened to a right footed Luke Shaw so that's pretty cool...as long as he too doesn't get injured every 5 minutes lmfao

[harv]

Apparently we're well on the way to signing Darmian. Would have preferred us to have signed Clyne though. Going to be interesting to see if Varela gets a chance if/when we sign Darmian.

It's looking like De Gea to Madrid is happening, they're rumoured to have agreed a €40m fee with United. Ramos is supposed to be signing a new deal with them but as I said a while back I would have preferred Otamendi anyway. Hopefully Woodward is going to make that happen soon.

It's looking like we're going to be signing Darmian on Monday too, but like I said I would have preferred Clyne...although one advantage that Darmian has over Clyne is that he's also a pretty good central defender as well.

RVP on his way to Fenerbache ??  Huge rumours suggest so..

So that would leave United with Rooney and Wilson up front...

Looks like that title-winning squad is coming together nicely

And Hernandez when his collarbone heals up.

Looks like Di Maria may be going to PSG, thought that he'd stay myself. Those Nico Gaitan rumours may be true after all.

[harv]

I also think that Fletcher from the U18 side may get a shot depending on how he does in the States.

[harv]

Various reports are saying that United are going to announce the signing of Pig Sticker 'imminently'. Hope this doesn't mean we're not going to be signing Schneiderlin though

I would rather we signed Schneiderlin and Dourado if we were going to be signing two defensive midfielders.

[harv]

Lmfao...Carragher, who was praising the Bitter Blues for signing Milner not so long ago, reckons that United signing Pig Sticker isn't a good idea because he's 30 years old and past his best. Yup. Just like Slippy G who carried the red scouse gits for the last few years lol

He's easily got another 3 years of top level football in him and if he does get injured then I'm expecting to see us sign Schneiderlin during these next few days. What better two players in the world to learn to be a number 6 from than Carrick and Schweinsteiger..?

I don't think that Carragher has ever had a good word to say about United lololol

[harv]

Brain cells went. Obviously meant the red scouse gits signing Milner from the Bitter Blues lol

[harv]

Great to hear that Rafael is wanting to stay and fight for a place in the first team despite the signing of Darmian. I've always liked Rafael.

[harv]

So far we could be looking at the following line-ups:

De Gea/Valdes

Darmian/Rafael/Valencia - Smalling/Jones - Jones/Rojo - Shaw/Blind/Rojo/Darmian

Herrera/Di Maria - Schweinsteiger/Carrick/Blind - Young/Di Maria/Fellaini

Di Maria/Mata - Roonster/Wilson/Hernandez/Memphis - Memphis/Young/Fellaini/Di Maria

Pretty good options for Van Gaal so far, and that's before we sign Ramos/Otamendi, Schneiderlin and Gaitan.

[harv]

Whoops! Forgot about Adnan in any of those 3 front positions!

[harv]

More rumours. United are believed to have agreed a deal to sign Benteke. Not a bad signing if true but would prefer Mueller or Lewandowski. And Otamendi's agent is coming to Manchester to finalise a deal with either the Bitter Blues or United. And United are also rumoured to be signing every keeper under the sun. Nothing changed there lol

[harv]

Romero, the AZ keeper, is having a medical tomorrow apparently. No idea if he's any good, haven't seen any of his stats from last season. 27 years old so he's got experience and possibly another ten years or so in the game.
