31 in October. Amazing if true.

With Giggs, Rio and Vidic gone, and Evra hopefully dropping to a rotation, we'll need experienced heads on the field too. Wouldn't want to be paying loads for him, mind, but if he's under 15m, wouldn't mind at all. And at CB, he could do another 2 or 3 seasons.

didn't we have the same rumours in the january, then he signed a new contract very quickly?

Ya he signed a new contract so lord knows why these rumours are here now.

Same guy reckons we've made a late bid for fab.

The 'Cesc deal'. Just telling the info i've got! It's not a case of "nonsense". The info is this: MUFC made a late bid, that's it!

Whoops. My bad. Was a retweet. Didn't expect a retweet to be that old.

As you were people. :pac:

Seeing as he foretold it 5 months ago it would be very amazing

Lads were my eyes playing tricks on me this morning or were BBC saying that Shaw has made his intentions made clear and wants to join United, but Saints are waiting to appoint a new manager before this can happen? (Long day at work..too lazy to trawl back through pages..forgive me)

GSPfan · 09-06-2014 05:44PM

Yes they did. There you go.

Cheers pal.
Hopefully this gets done and dusted soon!

GSPfan · 09-06-2014 05:52PM

I'd be surprised if the Shaw deal didn't happen at this stage.

Still can't believe Arsenal are not mentioned as contenders for Fabregas. They must have their budget allocated somewhere else.

If they are to only spend big on one player, you would have to imagine it would be a frontman.
Big bid for Welbeck??? :pac:

Yeah they defo will or should buy a proper centre forward but i still cant believe they'd pass on Fabregas.

They are rumoured to be after Benzema and Hulk.

I still think Fabregas could end up there though. Just seems a bit too weird.

Whoever in charge of Man Utd twitter must be a bit of a messer. They're after retweeting the Lopes guy's tweet about fab.

That show about Becks in the Amazon is on BBC at moment...always comes across as such a nice fella

Manutd_4life · 09-06-2014 08:41PM

Really hope whoever the new boss at Southampton doesn't full on refuse to sell Luke Shaw for any price if he happens to have an awesome WC. I think we're all in need for some legit transfer announcements and not get carried away by ANY tweets from the so called reliable sources

The_Kew_Tour · 09-06-2014 08:45PM

even as optimistic as I am I have to admit im disappointed no signing has been made by now.

I thought there would.

No excuses for it, the whole world knows signings need to be made and Woodward talked to lvg 2 months ago so he knew his targets.

Do you think Van Gaal wants to see the Utd squad in the flesh before making decisions?

I'd imagine most managers would operate that way

Makes sense but its risky as very possibly by then, the top players will be out of our reach.

Im sure targets are listed etc.

I think we will see some good talent come to club, but signing would have eased the nerves for many I reckon and would maybe have shown they mean business.

I still think we will be ok.

Lisandro Lopez apparently said in A Bola newspaper that he was signed as a replacement for Garay but when Utd pulled out last summer he was sent out on loan to Getafe.

Wouldn't be surprised if something similar happen this summer when LVG arrived.

Although Shaw looks like it will still be done, surely Utd were working on other deals too.

Yes but those clubs have directors of football.

Don't believe in them myself, in a manager's brief ,in my book. SAF didn't believe in them either. Director of Football me arse !

Now that Utd are moving toward a more conventional managerial setup I think we'll need a director of football too.

not a fan of them myself, a strong manager and CEO should be enough. if we need a director of football, then there one of them is not strong enough to do their job.

id like to think an discrepancies Woodward has will be sorted quickly by Van Gaal.

What exactly is a "more conventional managerial set up " ? A good manager is what you need, hopefully we now have one.
