Hummels just signed a 5yr extension meaning he'd be expensive. Goetze would be another very expensive signing and i dont see it happening with the options we already have. Lewandowski, well, dont think we need a striker atm and if Welbeck and Hernandez progress well, shouldnt need one for a while.

arent we reported to have bid for Lewandowski? or was that bollocks
Havent read any such reports myself. In any case, i do tend to take these reports of us being after players with a pinch of salt, papers tend to always want to put 2 and 2 together and come up with a story.
With Berba leaving, wont surprise me to read about us bidding for strikers all summer.
it seems that kagawa s best position is behind the striker. So we ll have kagawa, rooney, welbeck and hernandez fighting for 2 places in the starting line up. That's why i cant see us going for another high profile striker
Whichever one you see fit Cnut, need your arse wiped too?
No announcement of Alba to Barcelona as I said, Valencia are being stubborn over the price as they should be. He's become a very good left back and I'm sure he'll do well at the euros, he has every chance of being the best in his position at the tournament and thus raising his pricetag
On the other side of things, newest Valencia rumour is that they'll try and get Aimar to come back to the club

I would be pretty damn delighted if our summer deals are Clyne, Henriquez, Modric and Kagawa. Beyond delighted, actually. Those seem to be the deals with the most truth behind them.
I think there'll be a lot of cash spent this summer. Sir Alex job is to win the league and do well in Europe whilst spending as little as possible, similar to any business it is difficult to justify spending large amounts of cash unless it is necessary to hit your target or reach your goals.
Up until last year we had been winning the league and getting to champions league finals most years so why would he see the need to spend big? This year is different and if we don't spend we're in danger of getting left behind by city and potentially Chelsea, this wouldn't be good for the club or the business so I am sure that if the right players are available we will spend big to get them if necessary.

According to the times West Ham are interested/have made an approach for both Lukaku and Stankovic. Lukaku would be a good signing on loan for them, think he'd get a lot of game time and i'm keen to see how he does in a full season in the PL.
Dejan Stankovic? He used to be a brilliant midfielder though I haven't seen him lately and at 34 he might have lost some of his brilliance, he should still be better than 80 per cent Premier League midfielders.
The very same. Stankovic, Diame, Collison and Noble would be a good centre midfield.
You're a polish fan Sarni aren't you? How good is Boenisch? Apparently us and Newcastle are favourites to sign him.

Dejan Stankovic, he scored some wonderful goals in Milan derby's if i remember correctly, and a total screamer against Schalke a couple of years back. For those reasons alone i'd love to see him in the premier league.
I'm not Polish, but watch the Bundesliga a lot. Boenisch is shit. He used to be rated at a very young age, but never really got going. A weak point in a back four and not particularly good going forward as well. Used to be a good crosser some time ago in his second season at Werder, not anymore as far as I can tell. His progress has been slowed down by injuries mind. He's very injury-prone, probably spends more time on the injury-table than Hargreaves. 55 league games in five seasons at Bremen which says it all really. Stay away.
Cheers mate, looking likely that if we do get him and Pranjic, Baines will be leaving. I suppose with both of them on a free it's not too bad but if we are looking at him to be a first choice LB from what you're saying then it doesn't fill me with confidence.
Pranjic would be a good signing IMO, he's quite versatile. Played left back, left wing and central midfield for Bayern, though they were a step too far for a player of his calibre/quality. Not to say he was shit, but merely a squad player and I think despite his age he could be a cracking addition to your squad, especially on a free. If it's a straight choice between Boenisch and Pranjic it's a no-brainer IMO, only wages might be a stumbling block (?).
I definitely noticed him more out of the two in the Euros, he was a great attacking threat for Croatia whenever he played. On various sites it seemed to be all but confirmed tbh. We have released Mcfadden and Hahnemann plus all the loan signings so that will get enough to purchase people on a free i think.
Tbh Baines leaving might be a blessing in disguise for the improvement as the squad as a whole. We would be losing one of our best players but Boenisch, Pranjic, Naismith and possibly Pienaar with the money from Baines (maybe someone else if we are lucky) would be great.

He's been pretty bad lately, he was out injured for nearly entire season and was rushed back in time for Euro - it was a bad decision because he clearly wasn't ready fitness wise. Prior to the injury he was a solid left back, nothing particularly good about him though.
If anyone is worth a look from our defence it's Perquis. He's 28 and wqs brilliant for us at Euro.
Wasn't Pranjic supposed to be leaving Bayern for a Chinese club? He said he got a great offer and would move in the Summer.
Those reports were in May and there has been nothing about them since (that i can find anyway).
Blackburn completes the signing of Nuno Gomes.
I think this IPO happening now is just another indication that our finances are uncomfortably tight.
I still expect one midfield signing and hopefully a left back. If these are not both quality players I am sure we will fall short again this year but we will still be u there.

and you'd be wrong. Read the full prospectus. This IPO is a testing the waters.
Should be seeing Barcelona accelerate efforts to land a CB/DM...Vermaelen & Javi Martinez are now at the top of the list with the Gunner considered the more economical option
I hope Arsenal ask for £30 mill.
how does it feel to support barca? do yo wake up every morning with your todger hard as a rock and a need have 3 wanks in the shower just to calm yourself down?
fan owned, massive stadium, mes que un club ethos, beautiful football, homegrown talents left, right, and centre, BPITW, always adding talent from a position of strength.
i guess the only downside is you lot had a cash flow problem and had to borrow to pay wages once but i mean what do cules discuss really? I really think cules must get together and have a bukkake every match day as there is nothing wrong in their world.
Pretty close 
No, you know, I understand this is a special sort of era...I was a fan during Gaspart & the Figo debacle as well - it feels like a long time ago now but not so long that I've forgotten what chaos feels like
Pep changed things despite there always having been some form of exciting play during the years...I have a very different outlook on the game, the club and other leagues & clubs as a result...It's inevitable that it will impact even a club like United and I'm curious how that change will take root over time
Of course, with Pep having left, it marks perhaps a different chapter for my club now as well - who knows what will happen next?...I made a prediction that Rosell's arrival was going to slowly mark the end of the 'glory days' as I fear for his corporatism...But, perhaps that means solvency is around the corner along with a boatload of Brasilians owing to his ties
Probably why I spend a lot of time watching or attending youth matches, gives me a chance to see what the future can be like where there's less coverage & hype...It helps now living in Europe whereas before I seemed a bit eccentric in the US to follow a sport that was a world away...I feel quite spoiled in that regard

Alex Witsel involved in swap with Anderson?
Hopefully.
Noooooo

What do you get by coming on to this board, do you have an affinity with United as well or just want to be a gloating knob?
I don't gloat on my home forum so why would I do it here?...If I start gloating, then I'll get going
