Sultan isn`t the type to WUM though.
We're getting Valencia, Fabregas and an experienced forward.
I've heard from a few people now that we are linked with Fabregas, although I find it hard to believe.
Where did you hear this?
We we are linked with everyone, name a player and someones said something! Fabregas seems to hate United more than most the amount he moans about usm or maybe it's all an elaborate cover up for his impending transfer! He's just been on about how United are a one man team and now that Ronaldo has gone we are nothing.
cant see benzema signing for a club that wont guarantee him a start .. and with berba and rooney , its not going to happen at united .
think we will stay away from this one
Isn't he nearly out of a contract though? I remember those quotes they were posting sometime last year when he said he was a fan of United. I took that with a pinch of salt though.
Anyone have any actual sources/quotes or anything, or have I just missed it having only read the last two pages?

Benzema would be an excellent signing from a marketing point of view as well as the fact that he is an excellent player. A shaven headed french striker wearing number 7 for united would sell an awful lot of jerseys and his name even fits in with all the Cantona chants

I like this one. His age for a start is good. David Villa at 45 million pounds for 27 year old. I think SAF want the other three to up their bid. Ribery. same thing. Benzema at 40 million is a better buy.
according to whom?
not that I can see us getting him anyway - hope I'm wrong
According to this dude:

"9.26 Real Madrid director general Jorge Valdano has conceded his club's bid to sign Valencia striker David Villa looks doomed, while Bayern's asking price for Franck Ribery is proving prohibitive. In a typically candid interview he conceded Lyon striker Karim Benzema was another target, but that a move for Liverpool's Xabi Alonso is unlikely to be welcomed at Anfield.."
Its no brain surgery to envisage Real trying to sign Benzema. They need a Centre Forward & he's one of the best around!
Would love us to get him, but I feel that every top-class footballer will want to sign for Real now that they've got Kaka & Ronaldo & most likely Ribery...
I'm gettin sick as a parrot with all this transfer lark, we're gonna end up with no top-class signings now that Real are after everyone we are after. cnuts!
I don't think they'll buy him."9.26 Real Madrid director general Jorge Valdano has conceded his club's bid to sign Valencia striker David Villa looks doomed, while Bayern's asking price for Franck Ribery is proving prohibitive.

Chill they wont get everyone... If they decide to go for Benzema instead of Villa it just means Villa is available for another club. They have already made it clear that Ribery is not important to them this season and i take that is because they are siging our Ronaldo, so the question is will Ribery wait? Doubt it.
I don't think they'll buy him.
Valdano said they want to sign Villa, but if Valencia doesn't agree and sell him to Chelsea/United/Barcelona, Madrid still have two alternatives and it's not Benzema. Asked 'Forlan and Ibrahimovic?' he said 'it may be one of them, the other one is definitely not. We're going to work on it this week'.
If we want him we'll get him. FFS you're acting like a spoilt child in this thread!Sorry to piss on the parade mate but.....
Lyon striker Karim Benzema remains a summer target but Valdano admitted the club will take their time in negotiating a deal.
"Benzema is another great player," he continued. "But this is a very long process and we are going to take things easy.
"The start of the season is two and a half months away, enough time for us to look at what we do and don't need."[/I]

Sorry if this sounds like a "told-you-so", but it was pretty obvious that they will be going for this lad

Not being funny but we can actually outbid real for anyone with the amount of money we have at the moment. So if SAF really really wants him then he'll get him.
Exactly my point but RHD's posts like "we'll be feeding off the scraps" are both spoilt and plain stupid given that Real spent a large proportion and that we GAINED that large fee from them.
For all who think we should be doing what they do, please feel free to become a "madrista". Bloody hell imagine if our fans and their reactions if we were arsenal. We spend £31 mill on Berbatov without blinking, yet thats how much nearly half their squad costs.
No Offers For Karim Benzema -
The agent of the Lyon striker reveals Benzema will stay in France...for one more year at least.
Olympique Lyonnais forward Karim Benzema will stay in France for one more year, according to his agent.
Speaking to sport.co.uk Benzema's agent, Karim Djaziri, insisted that there has as yet been no contact from clubs wishing to acquire the player.
He also revealed that Benzema intends to stay in France for next season to focus on preparing for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"There has been no contact [from would-be buyers] for the moment," he affirmed. "Karim told me he wants to stay here. He told me he wanted to stay at Olympique Lyonnais and help prepare for the World Cup in France."
Djaziri refused to rule out the possibility of a future move for the 21-year-old, but underlined his determination to stay for now.
"Obviously you can never say definitely in football, but before he left for his holidays he said he wanted to stay at Lyon for one more year. Then, if there is an offer we will take a look at it."
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been a long-time admirer of the French international and speculation is rife that United are ready to launch a bid.
