Caroll 35Mills

 

SWP - 27 Mills

 

Lescott 24 Mills

 

 

Second an English club shows interest it begins, Shaw , Wilshire , Stones and players alike will go for MILLIONS.

 

Inflation.

[Kompressor]

interesting comparisons, decent point,

 

what's more interesting is the success enjoyed by those players.

[TF S4DK]

Shaw 30m and 100k a week.

You lot can have him for that.

He says knowing his club will bid 35m and give him 150k...

[The Infamous]

Alie

[TF S4DK]

At least he won't dream of barce, real, Bayern etc in few years either

Nah just Chelsea

[darkman]

Gill didn't want Moyes in the first place. People have said they aren't as close as they used to be, Fergie is probably quietly relieved Moyes has gone.

 

Why would he be relieved?

I'm not saying we won't but if we did I wouldn't be upset either.

[Guest freestacks]

Times have changed though.

If he turns out to be as good as Cole in his prime £30m is a fucking steal.

[The Infamous]

Lol exactly

He can easily emulate Cole

[Fresh]

There's risk involved and that's why 30 is steep i'd expect 30 for somebody who has been world class

[kerser]

It's wilshere btw, just saying

Why would he be relieved?

The transition has gone worse than anyone could've imagined, if he had a time machine he'd probably go back and make a different decision.

However it would've done him no good to flip flop on his decision given how much he's said about sacking managers early and his work with certain managers and organisations.

The club making the decision meant that he didn't have to.

If it comes out that he triggered the sacking it'd just reinforce his duplicitous nature, don't think that's the case here though.

[Tee]

Should be 20m + add one making it 30m IMO

Similar to Rooney's deal

The Guardian reports Woodward is confident of two deals have already been put in place. They are moving closer to a £30m deal for Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, while unsettled Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani is also thought to be attracting United's interest. The Ligue 1 giants are likely to ask for around £30m for the Uruguayan.

 

An improved bid for Fabregas, who has fallen foul of the Barcelona fans, is expected while United have already held discussions with Sporting Lisbon over defensive midfielder William Carvalho.

 

Bayern's Toni Kroos is another target but United look set to miss out on Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan after he signed a contract extension with the Bundesliga side.

 

United could also recoup a significant amount of money in transfer fees and wage savings with the club set for an unprecedented clear-out. Captain Nemanja Vidic has already agreed to join Inter Milan while Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand's futures remain unclear. Shinji Kagawa, Javier Hernandez, Nani, Anderson and Wilfried Zaha could also be on their way out.

Would be interesting to hear who's devising this list, and who else is on it.

[The King]

Daniel Taylor -

Bumped into Woodward on flight to Paris before the PSG-Chelsea game and, having chased him (literally) to the carousel, I dropped it on him that he must be going to sign Cavani

His quickfire response was a sarcastic 'yeah, because that's what we really need!' ie priority is hardly a striker *don't use that quote as would obviously be from me*

@barneyrednews: At the SAF lunch today @brandythewestie was present, DM off limits, as was 'the next one', but SAF spoke well about Giggs/Scholes/Butt.

[Kompressor]

@Malachians: Interviewed Eamonn Holmes earlier who met with Fergie today. Utd looking for something short term, want Giggs to take over in 3 yrs.

@Malachians: Also said Fergie wants Gary Neville back at the club.

[Gambino]

Swear I'm looking forward to seeing what Giggs does in these remaining games. I've never looked at him and seen a Manager role in him, he doesn't look like he could rule with an Iron Fist.

Klopp on #MUFC rumours: "Everything has been said, very few of it actually by me, but put as if I had said it." (via @Sky_StephanS)

More Klopp: "..to reject something when there is no enquiry, it is rather embarrassing for me as a human being." (via @Sky_StephanS)

More Klopp: "I really like United, but I am still very very happy here, as there are about 1,000 reasons why you can work here really well."
