    Per The Star. Bookies have United as favourites to sign Gary Cahill.

    On the night when it's reported that Bonucci officially tells Milan he wants to leave,Gary Cahill to United pops up.

    If this is anyway true, united can **** off with the lack of ambition

    Think I'd prefer no one over Cahill tbh

    Agree with you Mitch but say if bale aint available there are very few proven right sided players out there that we could look at.

    Perisic looked excellent on the right all world cup and he is extremely two footed so if it was a case of going for him or going for a kid or something i think id pick him.

    Perisic played as LW in all games for Croatia except few mins here and there when he moved to RW. He played as LW in every game for Inter.

    If we sign him for huge fee and then expect him to play as RW then we deserve all the **** we get.

    He is good player though, as 2 footed player as they come, very quick and can whip in nice crosses, on top of that contributes to goals and assists but he isn't a right winger.

    We should either sign a proper RW or just play whatever we have, instead of 1 more experiment.

    Philip is blacklisted from both reddit and redcafe I think, he’s a known bull****ter though he does know people within the club his “source” isn’t very good transfer wise. Pretty sure I heard he paid huge money for the Lukaku interview last year. It was win win for him, he gets to say that he is in the know and has his twitter followers hanging on to every word.

    Now he may be right but I wouldn’t trust him myself and id look at DiMarzio and his crew being the first one to break anything about Sandro properly I’d say. DiMarzio has sources inside clubs on his payroll.

    Yeah, I haven't watched his video but read he said Woodward wants Bale and few mins later he said ManUtd don't want to spend money in this window. If true then it doesn't even make any sense and contradictory statements.

    I'm going by what I read though, he is a bs merchant, so not going to watch his videos.

    I don't believe it.

    If there is truth to it, then it points to huge failures at the club; in scouting and recruiting.

    There is no justification for signing him. It would absolutely point to the club having no ambition, or an utter inability to negotiate for or attract a g target that could be considered worthy of signing.

    He said they don't watch to match the asking prices they have been quoted, citing Ronaldo and Sandro.

    Woodward has dreamed of signing bale since he took over, realistic or not.

    Fair enough.

    Well I would rather Woodward waste time trying to sign Bale than giving funds to complete Perisic transfer. We don't a right winger and don't need one more player who is at his best playing as left winger.

    Ideally both shouldn't happen but Jose's obsession with Perisic is weird, as it was Perisic or bust last summer when we wanted right winger.

    Well I don't disagree you on any point I was probably wrong about the rw I just seen him on the rw so it stuck out but I know he only played left for inter and cam sometimes.

    Good to have you back @Giggsy11 even though we disagree on Pogba it's good to see a regular return hopefully we'll see a few more before the start of the season.

    Cheers mate.

    Btw, do we have any ManUtd mod now?

    Nope Lord TeSCo relinquished the reins mid season. A new mod was appointed and then removed very dubiously after the champions league final. jayo26 has expressed an interest in the role but the power would go to his head so best he doesn't get the privilege.. I'd be all for zerks getting it cos he'd only read things several days after they'd kicked off and then hand out the bans. Or M!Ck^ for his continued love of Big Phil......

    Agents doing their jobs, I guess. Link themselves to big teams to generate interest and then get their players to a "stepping stone" team.

    The Pogba story seems to be generated entirely from some clip of him and Matuidi messing bout, and Matuidi saying to Pogba to come back.

    I'm holding out for the return of AIG and his subsequent appointment as United Mod.

    Long live the king.

    Supposedly Everton also want Welbeck. They always seem to love former United players!

    He's back. Don't think he can post on the soccer forum though as he refused a mod request to stop trolling.

    Off the top of my head

    Charlton & stiles from 66 possibly more in that England team but I wouldn’t be able to tell you.
    Barthez and Blanc 98
    Kleberson signed after winning WC
    Mata was part of the 2010 squad I think
    And maybe Pique?

    And now Pogba

    Edit: oh Schweinsteiger

    I think John Connelly played one game for England in the 66 Finals!
