    I don't really understand all that. How can they sign raf and fabio but not Lucas?

    Oh I'm sure there's lots of clubs after him. He's the type of player we Actually need.

    Might have been said before but all im seeing in the twitter links is the twitter URL. Is there supposed to be a tweet embedded here or something?

    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

    He is massively rated, but Ramos is and will be the main man there for a long time yet, and for some reason Pepe is ahead of him. He barely played last year, well any time I watched them he didn't start.

    Had a great WC, I kind of know your right but he is one player I'd love to see us sign.

    Just had a look around and as far as I can see hes made 4 apps at U20 with 1 goal. At 21 I find it hard to believe that would qualify you as a special talent.

    EDIT: He also played in Toulon tournament this year for U21.

    It doesn't matter. He's Brazilian. They gain work permits a lot easier due to the sheer amount of talented footballers In brazil. If the player was Irish he would most likely have played in the required 75% of games in last couple years. United can argue this in their appeal which is what usually works.

    Obviously not a certainty to get it but you're wrong to completely dismiss it as an impossibility.

    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.

    Roy Keane broke the English transfer record when he went from forest to United. It was only a couple of million at the time .

    Just being dramatic. :D

    Nah I wouldn't fancy him getting one but I've no problem accepting I could be wrong with that thought.

    He is massively rated, which is why Madrid will not let him go anywhere imo

    He choose them over us in 2011, why would he leave them for us now when at 21 he has started a CL final and things only look to be getting better for Madrid?

    Pepe is 31 and will be under pressure for his place in the next year or two at the most!

    Edit: For what its worth, I would love him at the club, think he is going to be an absolute star and a real great central defender. It just isn't going to happen.

    Wouldn't it just be so United like to go sweating over a work permit with a week to go just after the complicated deal with Rojo

    Rojo becomes our 6th non EU national in the squad, isnt there a limit somewhere to that amount we can have? not sure if its match day squad or overall squad or maybe it doesnt exist anymore, does anybody know for sure?


    Rafael
    Valencia
    Anderson
    Rojo
    Hernandez.
    Kagawa



    Fabio and Henriquez already sold, Varela is also there.

    I think Rafael (and Fabio) has a Portuguese passport.

    I am not aware of a Non EU national limit outside the home grown v foreign limit in England. Other countries have a maximum Non EU limit alright.

    Raf, Tony V and Ando are all probably in UK long enough for citizenship at this stage (although in Andersons case he would have had to get it prior to going on loan to Italy)
