So the evidence that Ozil isn't coming is that United have decided not to send a 20 year old out on loan before January with Carrick, Hargreaves and Anderson out??
There has to be a name for this sort of reverse muppetry. Knee jerk transfer muppetry and knee jerk anti-transfer muppetry are the same thing IMO.
First, Ferguson's words about Cleverley confirm that the club is looking for a player to fill the Scholes role.
Second, United usually likes two options at every position and competition for places.
Third, this may be a bargaining tactic to lower the price on Ozil.
Save your laughter for when the transfer window closes and not before.
This thread still open?

Have some of this then...
to quote from a source:
"Expect United to make an offer for Ozil. He has his heart set on Barca but they have their heart set on Fabregas. Also, I believe United spoke to a UK agent representing Ozil and were quoted a weekly wage of 100K +. It is their feeling that the 'cheap' transfer price (10-12mill) more or less makes Ozil a free agent. Arsenal are also speaking to Ozils representatives but they are awaiting the Fabregas situation. Spurs are an outside bet for Ozil. If I had to stick my neck out, from what I hear, there is a 60% chance United will sign Ozil. The 25 man squad limitations make it difficult to sign further players - even though United are in a better position to most of our rivals in that situation."
Some of what?
It's a 'source'.
What's your source?
100k is too much for an unproven player, no matter how talented he is. No-one from Utd/Spurs/Arsenal would pay that much.

Even with the World Cup, this summer has been a let down. United need to sign someone especially in the midfield, just to freshen things up. I remember Fergie saying before the transfer window opened that United will sign around two players, and this was after we signed Smalling and Chicha.

We have freshened it up, we just haven't paid crazy money to do it
If Carrick and Anderson can return to form, while Fletch keeps his as Gibson, Cleverly and Obertan make their mark, we will be okay.Lets just hope its enough. Especially considering City's new squad and Chelsea having a stronger midfield than last year with a fit Essien, Ramires and Benayoun.

A return for Hargreaves would do no harm either

YeaA Hargreaves return will be immense conditional to if he still has his old touch when he is back.
