Other than Hummels, Thiago Silva and Kompany who would you class as 'top class'? For me there ain't many about .

I like the look of that lad Banatia(sp) from Roma and Vertonghen from Spurs is a few steps above Vermaelen and the Dutch kid IMO, plus I am surprised we have not been interested in Subotic.
 
The Cavani stuff only seems to exist in the shit newspapers and is merely acknowledged by the others. Be amazed if anything happened.
 
Apparently Lallana told Southampton he'd never play for them again. What a way to leave a club.

To be honest most players being offered a chance with a club offering more money & a greater chance of winning honours would force their way out.
Fans stupidly expect loyalty. Players have a short career & honestly can't be blamed for chasing more money & a shot at getting some honours.
Joining Liverpool will also elevate his chances of becoming an England regular. So he's going to say whatever to force a move!
 
It's not new, is it?
Henry was On-Ry. Arjen is Aryen.
It's probably how they pronounce it in Colombia.

The tag is from what I said I wanted City to beat Barca in the CL matchday thread.

Yeah, but Hamez/James makes no sense. Anyway, I won't mind calling him Hamez if he joins us :D

He could maybe have gone about it better though I feel.
 

No idea if Telgraph actually posted it.

Edit: United are ready to make their first official bid for Juve's Arturo Vidal. [telegraph]

We must just stuffing the last few notes into the briefcase. Or maybe the briefcase wont close and Woodward's having to sit on it to squash it down.

I posted it in the Vidal thread, it's only two lines. It's from Mark Ogden in a piece about our plans, I wouldn't read too much into it. That ManUTD Stuff account is the worst.
 
Mark ogden in telegraph today.

Budget:
£150-200m

Strategy: Manchester United are planning a major summer spending spree which will focus on between five and six new signings. Key areas of attention are the back four and central midfield, but they may also add to their attacking options.

Who calls the shots? Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, will be tasked with sealing the deals after being handed a list of targets by Louis van Gaal. Woodward has already spent months working on moves for players identified by David Moyes.

Best case: United have completed deals for Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera for £30m and £29m respectively and want to at least one more defender and another energetic, creative midfielder. They are likely to bid for Juventus's Arturo Vidal, who starred for Chile at the World Cup. United are determined to flex their muscles this summer.

Worst case:
That this summer is the same as the last one, when United chased big targets and ended up with none of them. The pressure is on Woodward to deliver the big names that he has been chasing for months. Van Gaal’s delayed start due to the World Cup could become a problem.

Likely to leave: As many as 10 players could go, but the cull is likely to be smaller simply to avoid a threadbare squad next season. Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Buttner have left, while Juventus and Inter Milan are targeting Nani. Inter also interested in Javier Hernández. Tom Cleverley, Anderson and Ashley Young could find their futures lie elsewhere, too.

On the wanted list: Vidal, plus any of Nigel de Jong, Daley Blind, Stefan De Vrij, Edinson Cavani and William Carvalho.
I am sure I read the exact same stuff from Ogden a couple of weeks ago, with the only difference thant Herrera and Shaw weren't done deals back then. He is very well informed obviously, but since the appointment of LvG I've got the impression he doesn't know too much either.
