Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

Apparently Madrid wanted to sell to PSG because they'd offer more but because of the FFP sanctions it's going to be difficult for them to stump up that cash (50m for Luiz :haha:) without selling as well.

It does seem like United will have to pay well over his actual worth which is amusing and has a whiff of desperation about it, but I suppose it's something they can afford to do thanks to Adidas.

A few more seasons of mediocrity and their sponsors will walk.

Can't wait :pray:

It's not their weakest area, nevertheless I think they will make top 4 however lethargically it transpires, not that I want them to. Their midfield is nothing special but it won't need to be to make 4th IMO.....and I do think people have tended to marginalise the fact that Ander Herrera is a good player since they signed him.

I think they have a shot at top 4 even without Di Maria and whatever condition they find themselves in, you can bet they will be willing to appendix the situation come January with another signing if it looks necessary.

We won't have as much fun laughing at them this season as we did last season.

But what if Van Gaal is actually Moyes in disguise?

SSN are reporting that Madrid want 75 million for Di Maria.

Absolutely mental for a player who apparently wants out and that Madrid want to let go (so they can fund Falcao).

Though I would absolutely love it if they spunked that on him and he was a flop.

Sky need to stop saying Sky sources for Spanish transfers, we all know it is Balague.

Dream scenario:

PSG sell us Cavani freeing up funds for them to sign Di Maria on deadline day.

Man Utd end up empty handed and consquentially finish outside the top four for another season.

United would be better off spunking that on a CM/defence.

Abit like us really, we need a striker and a CDM :(

It was quite odd. Balague was openly saying it was him, Sky were openly saying it was Balague and yet they were still persisting with "Sky sources".

And then pretty much at the same time, the Mail got in on the act as well.

I bet this is all Rafa's doing.

redcafe are getting angry that Swanson got his £ and the Euro mixed up :lol:
