Who? Rojo was the alternative for Vermaelen. He's a left footed defender, whom we wanted to play LCB or LB. Irrelevant to signing Benatia.

Well Sky Sports News are running a Twitter poll on which of the two will be the better signing, so I expect their forces are well engaged already.
sorry, that's why i asked
He's one of the few we have been linked with. A week left in the window, there's a thin line between having a good season and a terrible one and having a proper DM is the difference.
Scousers love a poll, I wouldn't be surprised if there was already a chain email going around linking to the poll.
I can see Liverpool fans now saying how their summer signings are better than ours.
When basically they've hoovered up all the average squad fillers out there.
He's not though. Read Suggs post a couple of pages back.
flight to majorca is 2 hours 2 mins so madrid would be 2 hours
I do too- they look incredibly campy.
Yep, we do need one. If van Gaal has identified him we'll just have to make it worthwhile financially for Milan. Maybe chuck them someone on loan for the season like we did with Sporting.
2 min flight from Madrid to Majorca. Awesome.
Blind's a midfielder who can do a job at left wing back, as a full back in a 4 man defence he shouldn't be anywhere near our team. If we signed him it'd be to play in midfield.
We lacked creativity so we added Herrea, Mata and Di Maria, perfect its exactly what we needed but we badly need a defensive midfieder to help win and recycle the ball. As much as I rate Vidal I think Carvalho is ideal, he can be our Makelele. As for defense I think we have enough, the key is staying injury free. A back 4 of an injury free Rafael, Shaw and Evans will be quality, add Rojo's aggression and ball work to that and we have a solid back line, no where near the leagues best but it will stop most teams.
was meant to be 2 hours 20 mins * stoopid fingers
Oh ok, I thought he was mainly a LB.
I know he would be played in midfield but I think we need someone more proven than Blind.
Can't see Balotelli lasting more than 2 seasons at Liverpool.
@mps03: further delay inbound Madrid flight now showing scheduled arrival at 19:50 #notonmywatch
inbound Madrid flight now showing scheduled arrival at 19:50 #notonmywatchI would love a quality centre back signed but I agree that if we get our actual full backs fit a Rafael, Shaw and Evans, Rojo combination looks a decent back line. The more I see Jones and Smalling in particular the more I get worried.
Vidal can definitely do the dirty work in midfield but his best game is getting into the box finishing off chances and pulling the strings. I'd settle for a spoiler with power and strength like Carvalho but considering Moyes scouted him 400 times last year, I'm guessing the new boss is not so keen.
Et'oo to Everton.
It's not those bloody French traffic controllers again is it?@mps03: further delay
Fine by me, tbh! I want Van Gaal to institute a pure meritocracy at United, you play like shit you find your arse on the bench and if you don't respond you are in the terraces awaiting a free loan to Sporting Lisbon. Having untouchables in the team is what has led us to this point.
I have heard rumours that Welbeck is signing (or even signed) for Everton. Can't see both going there.
They cannot afford Welbeck after Lukaku surely.
To be fair Utdben is being a prick
literally 120 million + in signings with Balotelli counted.
Yeah but according to dippernomics they got eleventy billion for Suarez so no worries.
Whatever happens the next 7 days is going to be exciting. Our next signing (if there is going to be one) is the best kept secret around
Who is Di Marzio and how does he have the latest on literally ALL transfers?
He's like a chief reporter sort of at Sky Sports Italy and he's got many friends all over world football. At least it looks like that since he's got a team!
He has some very strong links across the world of football.
He gets first pics of agents in cities to do deals meeting chairman etc.. and Contract signings of players as well first too particularly in Italy.
Cheers, lads. He seems to know what's going on with everything, all transfers, all across the continent.
We've known who it will be all summer- Vidal. Completes my wishlist
Football is the same like any business, all you need to know is the main players basically Mendez, Raiola and a couple of others and you've got everything a phonecall away.
Seems to be one of the few reporters whose words can be trusted when it comes to transfers
