    Now is the time to pick up a Real player or two. Last time they did their big drive of huge names, great players like Robben and Sneijder were picked up for relative peanuts.

    Those 3 would have done instead of what we bought.

    Who'd play LB though?

    Pure speculation....

    Rojo and Di Maria are said to be close friends. United sign both, each has the other to help them settle in while filling crucial areas for the team.

    I'm going with Di Maria being signed along with Vidal.

    Watch me get it totally wrong... :p

    This rings to much of Kleberson

    Rojo also liked a picture on Instagram of him and Di Maria with a United crest in the background.

    Can't get more official than that.

    Rojo looks like a tough player but hes far from it. Gets bullied off ball easily.

    The real Madrid bench tonight:
    Varane, Coentrao, Navas, Arbeloa, Rodriguez, Di Maria, Isco

    Sami Khedira can't even get near it........

    Crazy stuff!

    I heard it was leaked to get all the board onside to sack Moyes, due to a belief that his position would be unattainable due to the speculation.

    Untenable.

    I think Rojo should be transfer listed as soon as he passes his medical. He is clearly not good enough.

    And we shouldn't go near Di Maria or Khedira. Not good enough for Madrid, not good enough for us.

    Vidal had a knee injury. Career over.

    Hummels lacks a but if pace. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

    Bender and draxler are too German. Wouldn't fit in.

    Close the window.

    Hes no roy keane. Crazy when you think if roy keane was at his peak now at 25/26 with say juventus he'd be worth 60 million.

    I think Varane could be an absolute star, reminds me of a young Rio, we had beeb in for him before he went to Madrid. A decent size bid and I wouldn't be surprised if it tempted Madrid to let him go

    If Kheidra isn't attainable we should be looking at Illarramendi who also will be getting little gametime, beast of a player.

    SSN reported our apparent interest in this 21 year old Brazilian defensive midfielder...I'd love a Vidal or a Di maria as much as the next fella but I'm loving the under the radar nature of some of our transfer activity.

    Hopefully this Rojo lad works out now.

    Yeah, that gave me the most hope too. Still strange that it all seems to be happening in the final week of the window though.

    Anderson should be put on a strict fitness plan if he is staying, at this stage I think he's another Brazilian who has given up on the game once the money is there

    At 26 years old he could go on to have a great 5/6 seasons if he wanted to

    Guilty, that's my pessimism, can't see any deals being wrapped up by the end of this week, given the lack of activity thus far.

    Even if Utd wanted to they'd never get a work permit for him. Not even on appeal.
