Manchester United Transfer Rumours/Discussion 2007/2008

actually I've just noticed that both Nani and Anderson have been signed "in principle".

I hope that "in principle" doesnt translate as "if we can get them to sign before Chelsea come in and treble our offers"

"Personal terms have been agreed and a formal announcement will take place once the necessary administrative procedures, including a medical have been completed."

i assume its just getting documents sorted and stuff (legalities) and also the mdeical, they wouldnt anounce it otherwise as it would let others react!

This sounds very interesting. I hadnt heard about this anderson guy before. What position does he play in?

Little-Devil · 30-05-2007 09:23PM

The seson is just finished and Manu have potenally bought 3 players. I can't believe this, usually we have to wait until july/aug before we here anything.

I know where Nani plays and have seeing him play a bit, but i dont know where anderson plays are what position. Anyone have info ??

kaisersose77 · 30-05-2007 09:24PM

looks like an attacking center midfielder, so probably scholes's replacement. Looks very strong and not greedy at all from those youtube clips.

Midfield according to this

kaisersose77 · 30-05-2007 09:35PM

off topic but richardson's cousin is on big brother and there already booing her before she even got in the door!

BFassassin · 30-05-2007 09:36PM

Very interesting signings and i hope its the first of a few more. We still need another out and out striker though.

Little-Devil · 30-05-2007 09:37PM

Hopefully she gets in trouble with SAF by saying something stupid, he might be out quicker then we think. I just Anderson profile, exciting times may be happening at Manu next season. I wont expect to much tho from either next season, looking forward to next season already. I wont believe anything until i see each player in a Manu jersey :rolleyes:

All we need now is a topclass striker, TORRES please

joe. · 30-05-2007 09:37PM

Very interesting. Never heard of this Anderson before.

Tusky · 30-05-2007 09:52PM

You cant base much on youtube videos but im quite impressed with Anderson. Looks like he may be quite a player in a few years.

The Muppet · 30-05-2007 10:05PM

The fee is rumoured to be 17 million each (not sure if thats pounds sterling or yoyo's).

Vokes · 30-05-2007 10:06PM

^Betchya those fees are in installments, which would be good business.

Yeah, Anderson is a creative centre mid. Looks like they're gonna groom him to be Scholes replacement. Can also play on the wing.

Paul Tergat · 30-05-2007 10:07PM

so like 50 odd mill in total, does this mean we arent getting a striker?

kaisersose77 · 30-05-2007 10:08PM

"Anderson has been named in Brazil coach Dunga's squad for the Copa America in Venezuela next month, but not Friday's friendly with England at Wembley. "

will be watching the copa america so!

Rossi ???????

Ronaldo Playing a more central role maybe.

kaisersose77 · 30-05-2007 10:15PM

They need a world class goal poacher and I doubt Ferguson is gonna take a chance on Rossi just yet

Pinning hopes on a youngster isnt good enough IMO

up front? i really really hope not!

madds · 30-05-2007 10:19PM

This is great news...just checked out Anderson on Youtube and watch what he does with the ball here after 1 min, blink and you'll miss it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QoRV7JuQOc

I'm not sure Fergie will sign a new striker now. I think he may just go with a very fluid 4-3-3 formation...

VDS/Foster

Neville
Vidic
Ferdinand
Evra

Carrick
Scholes/Anderson
Hargreaves

Ronaldo
Rooney
Nani/Giggs

Cannot wait for next season!! Did anyone see this coming? This has really knocked me for six. Years of frustration with Utd's failure in the Summer transfer market and then this.....bravo Fergie and Queiroz (who's influence was obviously a major factor in these deals).

RasTa · 30-05-2007 10:36PM

Wow, only finding out about these now. This is very exciting indeed. Hopefully Hargreaves gets wraped up and we have the rest of the summer to find a striker.

Mr Alan · 30-05-2007 10:45PM

Didn't Ferguson say that he wants three signings in the summer?

1. Nani
2. Hargreaves
3. Anderson

Presume that's Fergusons dealings done for the summer? Must have a lot of faith in Rossi???

Bounty Hunter · 30-05-2007 10:46PM

why is everone so worried about up fron these signin mean united will stick to 4-5-1 (4-2-3-1) with plenty of back up in midfield now and Rooney, Saha, Smith and Rossi all for 1 spot up front

GuanYin · 30-05-2007 10:53PM

yeah, you'll never win anything with youngsters.

They look to be inspired signings, I'm just surprised that they managed the coup without Chelsea hijacking it. After all, these aren't unknown youngsters.

A coup it is and I'm glad that it looks like United have the ambition back.

Sky said each deal would be about €25 million, so £17 million sounds right. Although I'd be surprised if they were both straight fees.

I have to admit that video was the first I've seen of Anderson, and all I can say is :eek:

Mr Alan · 30-05-2007 11:05PM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU1P0KApIgI

lads, i wouldnt get overly excited about what it shows on youtube.from above i'm sure ya'll agree,easy to make people look like world beaters with compilations!

looks like good business though (lot of money but if they work, well worth it)

Cheers, that's over 50 million spent so far. I wonder who'll be leaving? The Glazers have certainly surprised me today. :eek: for sure.

kaisersose77 · 30-05-2007 11:13PM

well kewell was actually brilliant at leeds until he got greedy and married the one from Emmerdale and he still will have moments of brilliance at liverpool.

i doubt Utd bought him because he looked good on youtube

it'll probably be half that up front for each player, full of other bonus's that will probably never have to be paid. It said somewhere that Nani wass out of contract this summer or next summer and wouldnt sign a new deal, so i doubt it'll be anything like 25million euros.

ROCKMAN · 30-05-2007 11:13PM

GREAT NEWS..
Two very very good signings, on loan players coming back ...
The squad is looking good and strong (will have good cover in most if not all positions ?? )
Last piece of jigsaw would be out and out striker......
Oh and it's only MAY 30TH

Mr Alan · 30-05-2007 11:14PM

true i'm sure they didnt, but people here are going wild cause he looks good on youtube!

knowing my luck though they'll probably both be excellent!

Dave! · 30-05-2007 11:15PM

These look like pretty good catches
