The Manchester United Thread

Nope, expected spend unfortunately. Then £25m per season in the future. I imagine there's a certain leeway for the right player, though. Suspect we might be able to sneak a LB + RVP (If he is the target), plus the Park money.

Is it 25M the max limit or minimum we will be spending? Can't see us getting potential superstars for that amount in the future :(

Aye, unless something drastic happens with the ownership, which frankly isn't unimaginable. The Glazers are clinging onto ownership now, and the IPO didn't go as well as they'd have liked. On the bright side, our squad is quite young,

Yeah maybe then they will sell naming rights. Also in 2-3 years we will need big investment as Rio, Vida, Evra, Giggs, Scholes all will leave/retire/will decline and also new manager will have his own targets.

Core of the team is young and strong, just need few tweaks here and there, most importantly CM.

What about Rodwell? Rather he want to Trafford than City after what I've read. He'll get wasted if he went there.
 
And not to mention he's versatile enough to play defence and midfield

Is he even linked with us? Surprising that we are not at all linked with him as from last 2-3 years there were so many rumors about him moving to United.

Transfer window is never complete without Rodwell, Sneijder, Huntelaar rumors. ;)
 
You are totally right guys, we DO NEED a CM, if Carrick gets injured this season then it's the end of the road for us I guess.We were linked with Tiote at the start of the transfer season, sounds a good option to me, it's the best box-to-box in the league after Yaya IMO.

Really don't know tbh. I'm surprised too. Maybe the niggly injuries put Fergie off. If he went there, I'd have no doubt he'll become an excellent player with the amount of experience around him
 
All this talk is starting to worry me. Let's hope that all the talk about Moura and RVP is just to help the IPO and Ferguson is hiding his true targets because he know's City will try to steal them away.

We do have Jones, Smalling, Fabio (?) ready for the first 3 though. Possibly some youth prospects who could make it. I have no doubt Ferguson could make it on a £25m budget, whether his successor can is key. It's why Moyes has to be it, IMO.
 
Ferguson fears Wenger will block RVP move as United's £15m offer falls short @DailyMail

Robin van Persie is expected to feature for Arsenal against Cologne on Sunday as speculation grows that he will retain the captain's armband. @SkySports

That's the end of the saga for me, van Persie will stay at Arsenal IMO.Maybe now Fergie will buy a centre-mid.

Yeah CB I think we have cover with Smalling, Evans and hopefully Jones improves as a CB. We need at least one more and if Fergie thinks Jones position is not CB then 2 CBs. Maybe in 2 or 3 years he will improve with regular games. Also we have Keane who is very good talent.

If Brady can make it as LB then we are set in that position too, but lots of Ifs and Buts. Maybe next manager might not rate the players Fergie rated so we need a decent budget once SAF retires. God knows in which direction we will head once it happens.

I think Jose or Pep will take over and have a gut feeling it won't be Moyes.
 
City just bought Rodwell for £15m, guess was to expensive for us or what? I'm totally confused right now.
 
Lots of in the knows saying we have signed RVP, 3 year deal option for one year extension, 220k a week

Rodwell is neither a winger, Brazilian or a centre forward. We have no need for him :P
