Roma are, in general, a selling club - with the actual plan of their America owners buy cheap and sell big. Seemingly this summer it will be either Strootman on Benatia (both of whom I would love at United) that will be moved on to fund their own moves.

I thought Strootman was injured?

Due back August, apprently - and he ain't dead. He'd miss a few games if bought - mightn't be fully up to speed til september/october.

Sound, I thought he was out till December. Should have bought him last year.

Just watching the CL final makes me realise that Utd are not actually that far away from these teams. Our lack of a midfield makes us like a horse with three legs however.

Schwiiing · 24-05-2014 07:54PM

I'd be throwing cash at At Madrid for Gabi and Koke if I was Woodward. Forget Fabregas.

K4t · 24-05-2014 07:55PM

I'd hold open trials for anyone wishing to play in midfield throughout the summer.

It's been speculated that's their plan, don't think they've ever actually come out and admitted it though? They've definitely been very cute in the transfer market but most of what they've done re. transfers have been an improvement to the side. They have been very vocal this year that they're backing Garcia and he doesn't need to sell to buy.

No doubt Strootman has a price that Roma will deal at, imo that price will be very high.

Both are home-grown and lifelong Atletico fans. No chance of them leaving I'd say if they manage to win the CL. Be like Giggs & Scholes leaving United the season after they won the double.

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford them

The_Kew_Tour · 24-05-2014 08:49PM

We are 5 excellent players away from the 2 teams tonight.

We are not not in that league.

And it's something that won't be fixed in one summer.

True. Van gaal said as much during the week. It may take one year, but likely two years. He will look to build a team over three to four transfer windows.
It will be fun

I'll take 2 years at least.

Hopefully fans will realise this.

convinced their american owners stated this would be the business model when they bought the club.

will take a number of years to get us up to the top level in europe.

We have to get top four in the league next season though.

irishfeen · 24-05-2014 10:04PM

Ah mixed feelings after the CL final , delighted for Ronaldo but gutted for Ath Madrid - I'm a sucker for an underdog.

Yes its going to take at least 4 years to get to a high standard of the 2007 to 2011 team

It could be little sinner but it's not going be done in 1 season that's for sure.

If it's not on tribal football or the daily mail it's not true

You realise it likely never started and was probably all journalists trying to sell papers?

The_Kew_Tour · 24-05-2014 10:17PM

Remember that picture of about million people in a street and a caption along lines of " all the players Man United have been linked with"

We will give it right go this summer if start is anything to go by.

I wonder are we the most linked club in the world? - its actually ridiculous how many players the rags/journalists etc link us to every single transfer window.
