There was a rumour earlier in the week that we had targets that the press no nothing about. Douglas Costa being an alternative to Di Maria was one of them, so I am hoping that is true and we are chasing someone that the media have not caught on to

How do you figure?
Cleverley is likely a goner and will be sold soon.
Fletcher i can see dipping in form which is a shame, but it'll likely lead into him not playing much
Carrick is injured, and whilst back later this year, he'll take time to recover and return to fitness. We can't rely on him all the time.
Fellaini, i don't know about him really, but i don't think van Gaal will play him much, epecially if the rumours of him being able to leave are true
Anderson i don't see playing in the first team at all anymore.
That leaves us with Herrera, who's currently injured and a few youth players will little to no experience. I can't see van Gaal being happy with that midfield at all. People are acting like Vidal and Carvalho were our only targets... it'd be stupid to think van Gaal hasn't got some back up targets in mind in case his main targets aren't obtainable. They might not be world class players, but they'll do a job for us until we get the opportunity to get some quality players in.
We weren't linked with Rojo either, so maybe that type of midfield signing out of the blue.
Yes, it's about time we started showing some spite in our dealings.
Fecking joke.
Enzo Perez from Benfica?
Nah he'll be at Valencia soon enough, they just don't wanna sell before they play Sporting.
Valencia are in for Cleverley, I heard. :P
Hmm good shout. LVG's team faced him just like Rojo at the WC and he is a Mendes client as well IIRC.
Would cost 15 to 20 millon pounds though apparently and is 28. Injured right now too though not serious. Also not really a holding midfielder.
Valencia bound. Mendes is heavily involved with Peter Lim.
The bbc got tricked by the fake David Ornstein account.
Valencia bidding for Cleverley seems to suggest there is a hitch. Anyway if we want him we should get him ahead of them.
I don't mind blind coming in replacing cleverley but we need another marquee CM and a CB who can organise .
Im not convinced on this Valencia/Cleverley stuff....and when I say not convinced, I mean its most likely a steaming pile of shite.
I think he'll end up going on loan.
A loan can only diminish his value and he is in the final season of his deal. Now is the time to sell.
I know - but I can see him digging his heels in.
There's no hitch stopping it completely, Benfica just want to keep him till after the Sporting game and Valencia are trying to speed it up.
Reading between the lines there it seems like Vidal's knee was the main problem. Most here have hinted at that though.
ffs. Terrible and good in equal measures.
Until 2016? I thought that's when his current deal runs out, he's just getting a pay rise?
You've given me hope where I thought there was none! Fingers crossed, I'd be happy with almost any defensive midfielder who's an upgrade on what we currently have.
He did not say that did he? Knowing Woodward he'll be in for another superstar signing in the wrong position
Falcao anyone?
Follow it up withChrist, is that a real quote?
"Of course I shall say what players I want and what players are better to leave and Ed Woodward is doing the transfer market so I don't interfere in that process. I am on the sportive side, he is the side to sell or to buy." (taken from the BBC live feed)
and yeah it probably is a real quote.
He did not say that did he? Knowing Woodward he'll be in for another superstar signing in the wrong position
Falcao anyone?
No, he said I put forth my player wishes end Ed tries to bring them in.
Christ, is that a real quote?

Falcao anyone?
He does run a genuine account he's not made a joke of it
Woodward smashes transfer record for the muppet dream signing, and he's still a joke for some....He did not say that did he? Knowing Woodward he'll be in for another superstar signing in the wrong position
Falcao anyone?
Christ, is that a real quote?
LvG said it is he who decides who comes and goes, and then it's up to Woodward to make it happen.
Our new no 7This place is turned into some mini Facebook or something, I remember not long ago we had brilliant posters on here with some great/informative discussions. I wish my knowledge was great so I could contribute more. I wonder if this newly promoted bunch (2014) are the worse set of newbies promoted ever.. That's me included.
