will this saga run on until the end of summer?
Nicolas Gaitan

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Admittedly ive only seen him a few times. Was impressed against us though, good movement, good touch, intelligent.
Dont think he is what we are crying out for but I wouldnt be against a good player like that joining us.

I read an article which I can find now but that said he'd played either wide right or wide left in a front 3. Played behind the striker while in Argentina with Boca though.
Again, this is the article that I can't find speaking.
How much would Gaitan, Hazard & Martinez all cost. All 3. Realistically?
If we could get 2 out of that 3 to complement Cleverley, Pogba and Anderson, our midfield is set for the next 4-8 years!

We would only require Hazard and Martinez or Gaitan and Martinez. 60m for both would be a rough guess. 50m if we're lucky.
Sounds a lot but it would likely be less than what we dropped on several players in the summer of 07-08.
Yes. For Benfica he plays out wide, with Aimar in the centre behind Cardozo. Originally, he played in the role that Aimar does for Benfica, and if we get him, that's where we would play him, in my opinion.
07/08 per season transfer activity was exactly what I'm envisaging.
Through hope or expectation?
expectation. we spend when we need too. we spent 50 million last summer!
Stewart Gardner on MUTV just made it VERY clear on behalf of the club that there's nothing in it on the Paddy Crerand Show:
"United have been strongly linked with Nicolas Gaitan... the club have made it quite clear that they are not going to sign Nicolas Gaitan; they're not interested in Nicolas Gaitan, never have been interested in Nicolas Gaitan and aren't going to sign him next summer, even though the press have reported that... United have made it very clear to the press that it's not on... Gaitan is not coming to Old Trafford".
I wish the club would be clearer on these matters

Translation: the price is still too high :lol
So is this the Sneijder thread of this summer?

Great news.
I hate it when facts ruin a perfectly good discussion whether we are gonna sign him or not. Can Gardner take the news back and give us different news ?
Ronnie to make an audacious fk attempt here.
or maybe not.
Less than what Liverpool paid for their 5 star English players.
Great. I like it the way it is. No place for a #10
Carroll £35m
Johnson £18m
Henderson £20m
Downing £20m
I don't know who's the fifth but for £93m you could definitely buy all three.
Hazard will end up at City! Cleverley wont be too pleased if we sign someone to come in ahead of him but Id imagine Fergie will sign 1 midfielder anyways to make sure we give Europe a better go next season
If the last 2 seasons are anything to go by Cleverley will be too busy recovering from his latest injury to worry about who's in the team
Signing another midfielder will have nothing to do with Cleverley. He has proven himself this season and everyone has positive reviews for him even though he has only played a handful of games. His position is safe. We need another player to cover for Scholes next season and to give us a better chance in Europe.
Probably not far off.
Then just buy Hazard and Martinez and we're SET.
Sell some dead weight for £15m, net spend (I sound like a scouser) of £50m is absolutely realistic.
And both have a "z" in their name, how cool isn't that?
Oh wait... Tevez, Heinze. Crap, deal's off.
We're probably selling PIG, so that means are squad is losing two z s. Those need replacing
We're you dropped on your head a lot when you were young, or are you just really obnoxious?
Sarcasm can be hard to pick up on the net at times Jake.
Oh dear.
Pretty sure he leaves on a free as his contract is up

Well what do you know.
£50m on transfer fees but what about wages and signing on fees? £90k a week wages at least, call it £180k for the both.
Out:
PIG: £20k wages
Macheda £20k?
Owen £sod all
Park £40k
So we'd be looking at another £5.2m a year in wages. If you've seen the finances we're already tight on the wages in terms of keeping it under 50%.
Berbatov will probably go, despite me not wanting him to. That's around 90k right there I believe.
Yep Berba is on 90k. Owen earns 50 000 every week he plays a game unless they changed his contract when he signed a new one last summer. Park is most likely on 60-65k a week.
Add to that if Rio renews he'll surely be taking a pay cut.
I don't think wages would be that big an issue when signing 2 new players. Scholes and Giggs will inevitably move on (not this Summer), they're both on pretty hefty sums too.
Oh, and of course, we're selling Vidic

Wages unlikely to be an issue with the number of players likely to move out this season.
