Hummels+Kroos+Reus would make me very happy.

I'd be gutted if we didn't get Carvalho too though.
 
So we're apparently going to get Hummels, Kroos, Reus, Shaw, Carvalho, Lallana and Cavani?

I'm starting to suspect that these stories aren't all 100% accurate...

He probably won't be too fussed about Lallana

Lallana is most likely going to Liverpool, and Carvalho seems to be unlikely now as there hasn't been any speculation for a while. Our scouts have looked at him 15+ times so he may still be a target, but the silence isn't a good sign.
 
Pretty much lines up with what Eamon Holmes was apparently told by Fergie. 3 years of Van Gaal before Giggs takes over.
 
Who and why is this being quoted?

He's friends with a few United players.

Has been very reliable & a WUM over the last few years. Broke Morrison & Pogba out & RvP in. Also stated Ronaldo would sign last summer to counter that!

He's close to some of our player's. He's hit and miss. Called van Persie to United, but also declared Ronaldo to Chelsea.

Wasn't that Ronaldo to Chelsea bit him trying to trick people into betting on the transfer to bring the odds down and sell his own bets that he had placed at larger odds?
 
If it was it was an incredible stupid ploy.
Whichever transfer it was, it worked.. I remember him tweeting a few weeks later that he'd cashed in big time on that deal after all the interest in that transfer led to sky shortening the odds
 
:) he wants to leave apparently

Linked with PSG, starts mouthing off about Chelsea. He loves the money!

Good to see Scholes doing some scouting. I reckon he knows a thing or two about midfielders.
 
If we are going for Strootman I'd imagine the interest in Carvalho must have faded with Moyes. It'd be lovely to get all three though...


Out:

Fellaini £12m-15m
Cleverley £12m-£15m
Anderson £Free - £3m

Next season's midfield choices:

Kroos
Strootman
Carvalho
Carrick
Fletcher

Perfect balance of everything I would say.
Lacks pace, dynamism, dribbling ability, short passing and energy. And some other things on top.

It'd be a massive upgrade on what we currently are but still not a top class midfield unit.
 
What's the Mata with Hazard? If Chelsea need to get rid, I would pay almost anything to get him! He can then enjoy his football again together with Mata under LvG! He is their only attacking player I would like to have! Schürrle however I wouldn't even take if offered for free to us! Willian is a better player than Schürrle but we don't need him, and while Oscar is quality I prefer Mata in that role.

Agree with this.

Looking at that list for next year, what price for a 2008 Darren Fletcher? Would be such a boost for us.
 
A team with Kroos and Strootman short of dynamism, short passing and energy. Only on the caf.

Kroos and Strootman would be outstanding. Probably the closest thing to a Scholes/Carrick 06-08 combo.

It made me laugh too. The only thing it's missing is someone who can dribble at pace through the middle.

Since Van Gaal is also a possesion football guy I don't think you'll see much dribbling from CMs and let's be honest with Carrick, Cleverley, Fletcher and Fellaini as our current options ... we haven't had one in a while.

he also likes defenders who make good use of the ball - at Bayern he put a midfielder like demichelis in defence. My guess is that carrick has a good chance of following suit..
