Just so you know..a bola printed an article this time last year saying he 100% had signed for us so shows how credible they are....I'm guessing this is more rubbish from his agent who is trying to get more attention and exposure for his client
Nicolas Gaitan

There better be a buyback clause on Bebe or I riot.
Not this again, don't rate Gaitan either.
Yes please. Good dribbler, good crosser and is right at home on the left.
If it means the end of Young then sign him.
So what is it the fourth summer that we reportedly signed Gaitan?
No. I'm not doing this again. I refuse to.
Wonderful! It's finally warming up. Garay and Kaka next. If we are lucky we will get linked with Huntelaar before the world cup is over. 
He's the type of signing that I hope we avoid. We should be targeting players who are either one of the best in their position or have the potential to be, he is neither.
I'm sick of signing this guy.
Yeah he is player that we only talk about because we are constantly linked with him.
I'd much rather Salvio. How has Gaitan been this season?
Hmm, from the top shelf to Vermaelen and Gaitain. I hope not. Especially as he'd probably be priced similarly to the top shelf.
Not enough of a goal threat for my liking.

I'm sure he's a decent player but the names we are being linked with at the moment are quite underwhelming.
And VucinicWonderful! It's finally warming up. Garay and Kaka next. If we are lucky we will get linked with Huntelaar before the world cup is over.
Haven't we signed him and Garay a million times already?
And Vucinic
How can I forget him. Shame on me.
We have signed him, for the millionth time! Seriously though, I wasn't impress when I watched him the Europa League last season, I would rather we get Sanchez. Hopefully this is BS.
I refuse to believe it's happening until I see a report about it that includes the words "swoop" and "warchest".
Ahh, the annual Gaitan ''close to United move'' rumours.
Decent player, no potential to be one of the best in his position
Only took Benfica to the finals of the Europa while our wingers were a large part of us being taken to 7th place. Only averaged 3.2 clear goalscoring chances from his passes, not far off the most in the competition. Only averaged 2.6 accurate crosses a game more than doubling the next Benfica player and almost matching the most in the competition. Just .2 off it.
By no means perfect, he gave the ball away too often and he's not as good as someone like Cuadrado. He's just better than our wingers were last season and could easily be a good signing. If he had high pace he'd be another Di Maria
We've "signed" him every transfer window since 2011.
Im calling bullshit on this one again.

I'm against this purely because it means we get rid of the man, the myth, the legend, Bebe.
"Bebe involved." Makes it sound like he's the one brokering the deal.
Wonderful! It's finally warming up. Garay and Kaka next. If we are lucky we will get linked with Huntelaar before the world cup is over.
How could you forget Sneijder!?
Rather have Cuadrado.
FFS not good enough, why would we go for him if Sanchez is available? Luckily it seems like just one link to him at the moment.
Maybe because Gaitan would be okay trading europa league finals and being knocked out in the group stages of the champions league, for a season without european football?
Cuadrado and Sanchez seem to have multiple options of clubs that could win the tournament, the only thing that could possibly convince them to come here instead is us offering them a lot more cold hard cash
I'm not saying we shouldnt out-wage european giants to secure a Sanchez or Cuadrado, if we could pull it off it could be a huge boost for us. But it'd be hard to get them if we won the league let alone not being in europe, so realistically its asking for too much

Draxler, Moura, Sanchez, probably Shaqiri and possibly Depay too, although we haven't been linked to any of them by anyone credible.
I used to think he was shit. The times I have seen him this season though, he's been quite good.
Maybe I was harsh on him first time round.

He's had a good season but has been inconsistent in the past. I would rather sign someone else.
The last gay tan we had on the wings won the Ballon d'Or. Have some faith, people.
We can do much better.
As Vermaelen i think he is on our b list or backup plan should we not acquire our no1 targets.
Never rated Gaitan particularly highly, but he's had a pretty excellent season no?
Haven't we been linked with this guy for years?
Yup. So many players and we land on him every fecking time. I wonder how!
a youtube video can make almost everybody look world-class but this one makes him look average :-o
There are better options but he is still an improvement to Young. I am happy about every improvement for our squad...

wouldn't say so with 4 goals and no (!) assist in 24 games
