Source for De Rossi? Can't see him leaving Roma on the last day of the transfer window.
Yeah. Player of his skill, still good 3 years in him, for 20 milion? In this market its still a bargain.
Especially since he has the Roykeanesse aura about him, something your midfield desperately needs.
Guillem saying on SSN now that he expects it to happen with Herrera. Make your mind up, Guillem.
Biggest joke in football if it doesn't, offering 30 then being that stubborn not to put another 6. I expect the player would be quite insulted as well.
One question I have to ask is if Herrera has a medical does he have to come to England or can he have it in Spain?

How can De Rossi be too old and not worth the 12m? He would provide a fantastic stop gap option to our midfield, and would beef up our midfield by a lot. Not to mention that he brings steel, grit, determination and leadership into our midfield that is sorely lacking in any of them. Even if he only had 2 years of top quality football left in him he is worth the outlay.
He would not be worth the 12m if Pogba was still here, or if we have any other young prospect that is similar to him. Unfortunately we don't. Cleverley being our second best midfielder currently says a lot. Once Carrick is injured we would have one of the weakest midfield I have ever seen in the past decade or two. And we would easily recoup the amount spent on him if we progress further in the Champions League. Being eliminated in the group stages and the first knockout round in the past 2 years is simply unacceptable for a club of our stature.

From what I've read he has good leadership qualities as well, which we have none of in the middle.
Granted he didn't score much last season and missed all of his chances but one, but this is a new season and has doubled his tally and looks a lot sharper.
I agree with you about Young, he is a bag of ***** and I can still picture Aston Villa laughing all the way to the bank with a 18mill cheque. Valencia is has been terrible for the last season and so far in this one and it makes me nearly cry in frustration when they are both on the pitch at the same time.
Ando I think is good but injured far to often as whenever he plays a couple of good games he gets injured again, and Cleverly is not good enough but yet the fact that he is our second best midfielder (I'm counting Fletcher as retired for the forseeable future) proves our midfield is in a sorry state of affairs.
I don't think we were ever going to get Ozil and we don't really need him as we have Kagawa, but if we were to sign him I'd be happy because the shitstorm form Arsenal fans would be hilarious(but I wouldn't blame them).
On a separte note, we have just had a 12 mill bid for De Rossi rejected. I would love him, but is he too old? And by "too old" I mean he would only help the midfield for a couple of years before we have to replace him "too old".
From what I've seen of Herrera in the past watching Spanish football he's a cracking midfielder, United will be lucky to get him, creative and he's hard working, always put's in 100%. Fantastic passer of the ball aswell.
Any news on Fellaini? Is it dead or?

Last season included?
Of course not last season mate. It was a bad season overall for the club and they were no where near up to usual scratch but Herrera was still near enough they're best player. It is tough for a player to stand out when a team is playing badly. Only world class players tend to have the quality to pick themselves up in those sort of situations - and Herrera is not world class - but he is a great player and he'll definitely improve your midfield. He is better than what you already have and that is what is important!Last season included?
Why do you say that? Bilbao had a generally bad season, you can't immediately impact that on to Herrera.
