Fellaini and Sneijder thats all Man U need...We ok everywhere else.
Should already have Sneijder SAF shoulda splashed on him last summer..He made no secret of the fact he wanted to come.
Apart from that --With Jones, Smalling, Rafael( has been a lot better this season) coming on.... Man U dont really need to drastically change anything..Everyones panicking cos of the 8 point gap been thrown away...City still have to go to Newcastle and win..Wont be easy...But we'll see..
And wouldn't it be fantastic if Sparky went back and screwed it up for them with Q.P.R..After how he was treat at City...

I think Alba will be going to Barca, but if you get him it will be good addition. And for Sahin yeah he might stay, but if he's available I think he should be signed rather than spent 4 times more on Modric.

Yeah think barca are faves for alba,but god knows what fergie thinkin about for mid think might supprise few people with someone different also think will sign someone with abit of flair because is scouting hazard and read somewhere a scout is going to watch him tonight and kagawa is out of contract and i think there is something in that loan deal for fabio to benfica with giatan but not sure.

Yeah he also wanted 200k a week, and is a number 10, which we dont really want, and has been pretty poor this season.

Too right, his wage demands were absolutely rediculous and I am glad Fergie did not continue to get him. Very average this season and Guarin has been keeping him out the side, although I do think Inter's system has never really suited him. I think we should look at other younger options.
 
Just watching lille and hazard on fir eand commentator says there are scouts from clubs in england watching him, after 5 mins skined rb with some ronaldo type skills and set up ther goal but has been playing on both wings and off the str i would not be upset if we signed him would bring something special and different imo

Agree wesley is big no no for me plus not gettin any younger.
 
Reserve game was pretty poor 1st half was even with petrucci coming closest with a volley, 2nd half started the same but then we started to dominate against a good defencive display from sunderland, tuncliffe nearly broke dead lock twice with long range efforts forcing keeper into good saves draw a fair result imo.

Kagawa has denied speaking to Osaka TV. Man Utd quotes were made up. decision not before May12th.
 
8 million? Is his contract running up or something? If it's not, then no chance at that price.
 
Think he might need to realise what he has currently before making a rush move. He's at the best team in Germany at a young age. Could stifle his development moving.
 
Sir Alex Ferguson has cranked up the title climax by blaming rivals City for the “insane” transfer market.

The Manchester United manager is already planning his response to City’s emergence as a major force in the game by recruiting two or three players in the summer.

But he insists that United cannot compete with their neighbour’s financial muscle and sees no end to the unequal contest.

Ferguson, virtually resigned to losing his Premier League crown to Roberto Mancini’s side, said: “It’s been an insane transfer market for a long time and I think clubs like City create that.

“They can buy all the players and put a marker on all the players and that makes it difficult for clubs then to be reasonable. There’s no chance of that calming down and I don’t see how the financial fair play can work. No-one can match City’s financial power – no-one. We have to accept that, so we do it a different way. We’ll try to look at young players with the potential to develop in the club, which we’re good at, so we’ll stay with that.”

United want to strengthen in midfield, where Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are inevitably running out of steam. Tottenham’s Luka Modric, Swansea’s on-loan Gylfi Sigurdsson and Lille’s Eden Hazard are all on Fergie’s radar.

But City have been tracking Hazard too and United know from the painful experience of losing out on Samir Nasri last summer that the Eastland coffers can swing almost any deal.

United may also need to replace striker Dimitar Berbatov, although Ferguson maintains the Bulgarian, along with Scholes, could still be in his squad next season.

“We’ll assess where we are going in terms of players,” Ferguson said. “We’ll no doubt be bringing players in. Maybe two or three, who knows? It depends on the type of market we’re dealing with and player availability. But Scholes and Giggs are coming to the end so it’s a fact that we have to guard against that. It’s difficult to think you can get a Giggs or Scholes falling off trees.

“Tom Cleverley has got fantastic potential and Michael Carrick has still got years left in him. But we’ll probably add someone to the squad.

“There’s nothing settled for Berbatov.

“We’re waiting for someone to make an offer. He won’t go for nothing.”

With the benefit of hindsight, Ferguson is beginning to think United let Cristiano Ronaldo go on the cheap to Real Madrid – even at a world record fee of £80m. The Scot said: “You can only assess value on success. Like Real Madrid with Ronaldo. They’ll be saying ‘we’d have paid £160m for him with all he’s done’. At more than a goal a game he’s been a fantastic buy for them. At the time we thought £80m was not bad. Now I’m saying to myself it should have been a lot more.”

United go into today’s home match against Swansea hoping Newcastle will have denied City victory at St James’ Park to give the title race another twist.

Ferguson said: “It looks like we’re going to lose the League on goal difference and you look at the three goals we lost to City in the last three minutes at Old Trafford.

“Then that crazy, absolutely stupid game against Everton when we threw it away. You can analyse where you think you lost it or won it, but it could come down to goal difference and Gary Neville may be right when he says that’s the worst nightmare.”
 
Need the crazy arsenal performance for any chance to match the goal difference now.
