Robben is a name a lot of different people are mentioning. He's a great player, but not your typical transfer muppet name the press just throw out there to grab headlines. Might be something to that. What do you lot reckon? He's a player I just cant stand, but Christ he's bloody good. Ashley Young is a twat as well, so at least I'd rather have a dickhead who delivers the goods.
 
An 'A B C' tier sounds good. Last year was a trainwreck, at least we have some sort of contingencies when/if the big boys reject us.
 


Robben, Muller, Hummels, Shaw and Kroos in 1 paragraph!


I love his fighting talk.

"We are going to fight for the world championship. Can we go all the way? We will go for it."

Compare that to Moyes' attitude and we are in for a fun ride next year :drool:
 
Interesting that they say LVG approves our interest in Shaw and Kroos, but the signing that looked most nailed on a few months back, Carvalho, isn't mentioned. Wonder if LVG rates him/has seen enough of him.
 
Hmm, not sure about Robben. Fantastic player but he's around 30 now isn't he? Wonder how much he'd cost.
 
Robben at the right price would be a terrific signing, such a productive player. I'd like to think one name will leave Bayern this Summer. Robben's been a big player for them this season so it's hard to say if it's going to be him.
 
Robben would be a good buy. Even at 30, he's very single minded and it'd be nice him not scoring against us anymore.
 
Robben is undoubtedly a great player but at 30 way too old for a big money signing. He relies aloy on pace and sharpeness of his movements both will quickly tail off now.

Doesn't he play RM exclusively, LM is much more of a concern for us.

If we can get him for 20m I don't see why not but once we edge closer to 30 no thanks. Besides why would he want to leave Bayern?
 
The amount of times over the years I've heard that United are "confident" over a player, and then failed. We were confident on Fabregas last summer.
 
Wow just read this, our wage bill will be going UP?! Despite the fact that Rio and Vidic are gone With Nani on his way. Wow that's some serious players there.

I'm surprised that you're so shocked?
 
How about we aim for Draxler or Reus?

Robben big money and 30. Not sure.
 
How can you guys get excited over things briefed or leaked by us at the moment? We thought we could get Fabregas, we didn't. We thought we could get Baines, we didn't. Look I'd love to get some good players too but honestly I'd wait until you hear from a German paper that we are really close to landing him. What those incompetent clowns think at the moment doesn't matter, just look at how many times they briefed the media that Van Gaal will be announced and still couldn't get a deal done so far.
 
The club were "confident" on Fabregas last year. They are probably being strung along, again.
 
I wonder who makes the 'B' tier. Surprised Strootman isn't on Louis A* list.
 
How about we aim for Draxler or Reus?

Robben big money and 30. Not sure.

I agree, especially Reus. £30m is a lot for a player of Robben's age.

Kind of funny that a player identified in 2003 as Giggs' replacement went on to finally replace him 11 years later after causing us some pain through the years inbetween.

Ogden:drool: To think we could buy Kroos BEFORE the World cup is goosebumping.

Yep, I had to double check the article as Ogden himself hadn't tweeted the link at that point. Thought it might have been a WUM.

Seems that Ogden and The Guardian have an inside track on affairs nowadays.
 
I can't see us signing 3 players from the same team. No way.

Well Guardiola wants 4 or 5 players so he is going to need to make room. But yeah we won't have Muller.
 
The club briefings have become so unbelievably tedious now - even the class of '92 have joined in. You can make a good guess behind the source of each Ogden article.
 
Muller is SO unnecessary. Robben might be 30 but he is still very rapid and crucially, productive. In all the games I have seen of bayern he has been their best offensive player, so why would he leave?
