Felipe Anderson is the best friend of Neymar....

ridiculous money to pay for him.

Should be only 30 max and that is pushing it.

Crazy money if true

crazy money, youd probably get Mahrez for that and still have £15m left over.

hope this isnt true, it would be an other huge risky signing and we dont need more of them. this summer needs to be about proven talent to come in and make an impact straight away.

after that, we hope the potential of Shaw, Herrera, Morgan and Memphis kicks in next season to compliment Martial, Darmian, Smalling, DDG and Rooney together with 3-5 good signings.

for another unproven Brazilian in the premier league it is a massive risk paying 60m. 20-25m would have even been a risk, hope it all works out and he is the next Ronaldinho

Agreed - his stats this season are rubbish too and I remember reading in january when we were linked with him that Lazio fans would be shedding no tears if he was to leave.

Lord TSC · 22-02-2016 01:13PM

Think anyone who thinks you'd get Mahrez for £30m is nuts.

He's 25, has 3 years left on his contract, looks to be a massive reason why Leicester are challenging for the title, possibly one of the best players in the league this year, at a club who'll want to build their team for CL, and there's going to be massive competition for him if he moves (Barca are apparently in for him at the moment).

Wouldn't be shocked to see him move for £40m-ish.

The_Kew_Tour · 22-02-2016 01:15PM

I say we could be in for few surprises this summer.

RobertKK · 22-02-2016 01:16PM

Neymar: "Felipe Anderson on the field is the ideal companion, he knows how and where to pass the ball. In midfield he can do everything"

Felipe Anderson "We always talk, we always try to stay in touch so to maintain our friendship. It was Neymar who advised me to come here. He told me to be brave and believe in myself. I'll be forever grateful for those words."

I guess Neymar is telling Felipe to move to United where they will be team mates, like they were in Santos...

22-02-2016 01:28PM

^That's why they call him FutureGuy, He's back, he's back

Rayne Wooney · 22-02-2016 01:33PM

Woodward was still behind Van Gaal in December/January so there probably was some kind of verbal agreement for Anderson but I really doubt it will happen now given how badly Van Gaal is doing unless the next manager in okays it

homerjay2005 · 22-02-2016 01:33PM

being realistic,

if we were to sign 3 first 11 players plus 2 back up players this summer, who do you think they will be?

Well it looks like Anderson.

So other 2 would be Stones and Dybala(he is getting linked lately)

2 back ups would be i havnt got a clue but Donnaruma(bit too young for back up) is getting linked as well.

Who would Mourihno sign, id say some really defensive center mid in the mold of matic/mikel

Would depend on where we finish in the league and whether or not Mourinho takes over.

Both will make a difference to the quality not quantity of signings.

I think United will try to sign a CB.

Stones
Laporte
Varane

I'd reckon they are the first three names on the list. Whether we could get any of them, who knows. I would say Stones will be the first choice too.

As for other positions - fcuk knows to be honest. I can see United trying to sign Neymar but if he does leave Barca I reckon it will be to City. Either him or Messi will end up there in the next couple of years, imo.

If Mourinho comes in I can see him wanting us to push for Pogba - but again he'll have no shortage of suitors more suitable than United.

If we were to only sign 3 first teamers, I would say CB, CM and RW - but the club plans could be very different and see no need to purchase in one or more of those roles.

fatherted1969 · 22-02-2016 01:51PM

Couldn't care less their price tag. Didn't Stoke buy a lad a few weeks ago for £19m don't know what that is in € Cannot see many players coming to utd for less than £30m anymore. What's €60m in £ anyway. Money's gone past redicoulous nowadays

If Mourinho is manager....

Marquinhos defender 30m
Morata striker 25-30m
Kante midfield 20m

Miranda centre back 10m
Sane winger 30m

RobertKK · 22-02-2016 02:25PM

I think under Mourinho we sign:

Laporte - cheaper than Stones.
Felipe Anderson.
Neymar
Ibrahimovic
Renato Sanches

Players that will be sold:
Rooney
Mata

De Gea

Darmian--Smalling--Laporte--Shaw
---Schneiderlin--Sanches

Anderson

Martial--Ibrahimovic--Neymar

Martial can play on either wing as well as striker so Neymar and Ibrahimovic were higher in the pecking order.

Only a short term solution, and with Barcelona interested in Laporte, I think a move for Laporte in the summer or it will be never.
But maybe we sign both, and sell Phil Jones, who won't be playing as he will have managed to injure himself somehow.

Irishcrx · 22-02-2016 02:40PM

Can you imagine John Terry leaving Chelsea and joining up with Jose at Utd.... Hahahahaha...

RobertKK · 22-02-2016 02:40PM

I think there will be huge changes to the team in summer as the current team doesn't work and lacks quality, and it is the lack of quality that will mean big changes - especially upfront.
Martial will be the only player to remain in the three upfront positions.
