Yet another lovely piece from Andy Mitten.


Says we want deals done early, if we haven't managed to tie up a deal for our primary target by June 30, we'll go for the second option instead.
Also says that Di Maria is happy in Manchester, but Falcao isn't.
 
Der Westen's unwaivering insistence that he's United bound does give me quite a lot of hope. It isn't the standard report where they still leave the door open in case they're wrong, they've fully committed to it. If what I've read is true and it is a credible paper when it comes to Dortmund then I doubt they'd put their reputation on the line to this degree without some kind of proof.

What's their record like when it comes to committing to transfers like this?
 
Not sure I like the 'if not done by this date, move on' approach.

Understand you'd want everything done quick but if we miss out on better players because of impatience then somethings wrong.
 
I stand firm:

Gundogan, Depay and Hummels are done deals. At worst we'll get two of them.

Going by that Mitten article i think Bale is our main winger target, so if that's the case then Depay is not done. Same could be the case with Gündogan, maybe someone like Pogba is the primary target and Gündogan is the fallback option.

I think however the club is working on getting Hummels and Clyne as we speak because there aren't many options beside them.
 
Hope those 2nd options don't sign somewhere else while we run after the main targets.

By June 30th the transfer window hasn't even officially opened. I think that's a good deadline to move onto second options. Very promising article.
 


Chicharito's agent Eduardo Hernández: "If Madrid accept to sign Chicharito before the April 30th deadline, MUFC can't do anything."

We'd snap Madrid's hand off for €20 million, why would we even attempt to do anything? Don't see Real signing him anyway.
 
So the buyout clause was true then. How much was it? I wouldnt mind him leaving for a decent fee, no place here for him.

If Inter Milan can afford him then surely we can blow them out the water? He looks like a massive talent.

Maybe the club are looking at Harry Kane though :)

Kovacic to Barcelona or Liverpool for 30million Euros, then add 10 and that's Dybala.

I agree to a point but surely our second choice targets are other teams first choices and maybe they have a similar stance on getting things done early. It is risky that's why I hope our first choices are actually players who will join United and have given that indication to us through certain channels. We are still a huge club for sure but we cant rely on that alone as a reason they will jump at a chance to join us. Personally I think Ed will go into a transfer frenzy once our CL fate is confirmed and end up being spotted in 5 different places at once and telling the world how rich we are!
 
Won't it be really bad if while we're chasing the primary target ex. Bale, the secondary target, Depay goes to Liverpool. Then we're left with no one.
 
That Lloris clause sounds too good to be true, if it exists I bet it's only for teams outside of the PL.
 
That's cold but at least he's honest with his players and he's got their interest in mind.

@English_AS: Van Gaal shuts the door on Old Trafford return for Chicharito

Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal has ruled out a return to Manchester United for Mexico strikerJavier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández, who is on-loan at Real Madrid until the end of the season.

“Chicharito’s future? I have sent him away already this season,” the Dutchman told British newspaper the Daily Star.

“I said the same as I said to [Danny ]Welbeck: 'You are again a substitute and I don't think that is good for you',” Van Gaal added about the striker, who scored a brace in Real Madrid’s 2-4 victory at Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Last week, ‘Chicharito’ also scored against Atlético Madrid, a goal that sent Madrid through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

“When you score a goal - as he has just done for Real Madrid - are you suddenly different? I don't think so,” said Van Gaal.

However, the Dutch coach has left the door for Colombian Radamel Falcao, who is on-loan at United from Monaco, to sign a permanent contract at Old Trafford.

“I can't say the same to him. Falcao has the quality to play,” said Van Gaal, who has guided United to fourth in the Premier League with 65 points, 12 behind Chelsea and two behind Arsenal and Manchester City.

Has he really said it like that? Because there's no justification to give Falcao more of a chance than Welbeck or Hernandez. The former also earns far more. I doubt this is true.

I understand that, but if they don't have a commitment from players by then, they would scrambling the rest of the transfer window. Clubs don't start looking on the first day of the transfer window, they usually get some kind of commitment via the agents. Someone like Depay might just sign for Liverpool if he feels he is just going to 2nd option.
 
I have to say I disagree with Van Gaal there. I'd much rather keep Chicha than sell him, if he was happy to be a bit part player for us. Falcao has to go though.

Im slightly worried with LVG's observation's and comments on Falcao, I don't care about how much quality he has/had and what he does in training, he's shite for us when it matters and isn't worth anywhere close to £40+ million.
 
Those quotes are a bit odd. Weird to have him randomly talking to The Daily Star, no?

Is there a reason we arent looking at him?
Is it because Rooney will occupy the ST position and Dybala will not sit on the bench?

Dybala looks like the business.

Really don't know. If he's that highly regarded we really should be in for him. Rodney's great but we need another forward with dynamism which Rooney lacks now.
