I'm not sure even Howard Webb would let united play with that formation!

haha sorry meant 4-3-3 only saw mistake there :P

Spanish papers are reporting that United are considering a £24 million bid for Miranda from Atletico, and also papers in Holland are saying a £8 million deal is being done for De Vrij.

Just paper talk but still interesting.

My view is although Miranda is a good player seems a bit much to spend on a centre back that will be 30 in September.

Mr.Prodston · 28-06-2014 10:31PM

Pure fantasy from myself here but I've been very impressed by Juan Cuadrado of Colombia and Fiorentina. Would be more than delighted to see him brought in and he might be a little more obtainable than James :pac: He just seems to be what Valencia should be.

While I'm in here I may as well add my welcome to Herrera and Shaw, give credit to Ed and look forward to more arrivals soon

Adamocovic · 28-06-2014 10:32PM

Also regarding Vidal transfer rumours have it the biggest competition will be from Arsenal. Wenger has already said he is interested in signing him.

Considering how bad we were last year (I know a lot of that was down to Moyes but still) I'd take any good CB at the minute. A lot of posters have said on here (and rightly so IMHO) that we need an older CB to sort sh1t out. De Gea is a great keeper but is young so it's going to be another 2-3 years before he is properly imposing himself on our defence, Evans is good but still a bit naive, as is Jones. Having that older rock at the back is the way to go. Especially if we are going to have Rafael-????(hopefully Miranda)-Evans-Shaw as the back 4.

Happy with the signings so far to be honest! I think we will get Miranda, Herrara and Shaw are great additions to the squad. Another CM and I'll be a very happy man. (I think we do need a new winger and another CB but if we can at least shore up Central Midfield better we can do what United do best-outscore the opposition)

Its well known Fiorentina want €40M for Cuadrado. Very good player but thats a lot of cash for him.

KH25 · 28-06-2014 10:37PM

We should go all out for Vidal. Excellent player.

Fair point, the reason Miranda price will be high I reckon is because of the high buy out clause (near £30 million but they said negotiable).

Agree with that but I'd love to see Jones in at centre back (instead of Evans) for the season beside someone who could help mentor him in to that position. Really see Jones becoming a good cb if given the chance.

Fair point there actually. I just put down Evans because he has more experience but if Jones was partnered with Miranda he really could learn a lot

Yeah I'm just reading up about him now and it seems that it's a release clause set at €40m. It's certainly far from a priority position, especially at that kind of price. Not that he's even a target anyway, just thinking out loud.

*cue a tabloid running it next week*

And on the Miranda price as you were saying he is quality, and now that I think about it suppose if we have the money to spend why not spend it! :P

At least were getting someone who we know is an experienced player at top flight and not taking as much of a gamble.

Really looking forward to next season.

Maximus Alexander · 28-06-2014 11:13PM

Vidal's name has too much in common with Veron's. Starts with a 'V', five letters long. Every odd letter a consonant, every even letter a vowel.

Not want.

GSPfan · 28-06-2014 11:20PM

This Joao Miranda guy... Any good?

Would he be worth the buy out clause if thats what it took to get him or is he way over valued?

FutureGuy · 28-06-2014 11:20PM

Were going to sign Vidal and here's why.

Ed is a business man. There's no waste. He needed to recycle the Nemanja song so he looked for a player with a 3-syllable name.

Herrera.

He knew Evra was almost finished and decided to bring in another player with a 4 letter surname (so we don't run out of letters at the strt of the season.)

Shaw.

We have no one with the nickname Vida.

Vidal.

There you have it.

AS in Spain are claiming United have have made contact with Toni Kroos and are looking to sign him if he does intend on leaving Bayern Munich.
The rivals for him they say are Chelsea as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Woodward is a terrible business man, lets Ferdinand go and signs Shaw, how are we suppossed to make money when we sign players with only four letters in their surname? He needs to think of the money to be made putting stickers on the back of shirts!

Amateur! From now on we should only sign players with 8 plus characters in their surname. Rodriguez anyone? Schweinsteiger would be a dream signing!

Metro claiming United will offer Arturo Vidal a 5 year deal at £230k a week.

Claims in the Sun, United will trigger Alexis Sanchez release clause which is at £40 million...

Ed, we need more sponsor deals :P

kryogen · 29-06-2014 08:45AM

Could surely get Sanchez for cheaper then that, though I don't actually want him! Club don't really want him, he wants out. No way you pay top dollar there, if someone else wants to let them at it.

Vidal, I don't think will happen, pipe dream, could see him in a Madrid jersey next season which may save Liverpool from losing Suarez

It would be fantastic to get vidal. He is the player we need, and have needed for a number of years. Obviously there would be stuff competition, but I hope ed does all he can to get him.

Sanchez is top notch, and another player if like to see in a united jersey. But do we need him, or if we do put in the team, who gets left out?

I mean, if he plays 4-3-3, you would think the three in the middle would be Herrera, vidal, kagawa/carrick. That leaves three up top. RVP would be a starter. The two remaining positions: rooney, mata, Chico, welbek, Wilson, Powell, Sanchez, januzaj.
If he were to play 5-3-2, would there be a need for Sanchez?
It will be fascinating to see how LVG handles he squad. We are a bit light in some positions, but in forward positions we have a wealth of talent already there.

Club don't want him but you'll pay top dollar because he's stormed through the group stage for Chile.

Utd really lack a player with pace and end product and sanchez marries the two beautifully. If he can be got without affecting other transfers then I 100% want it to happen.
