The Official Manchester United Thread

[Guest Portuguese]

He is fully of mistakes that's why De Gea replaced him!

Now he is back at Atletico after his loan@Malaga they might as well give him another chance as number one

[HangTheDJ]

wondered how De Gea jumped Asenjo in the pecking order/hype

but still a pointless argument like saying this french cognac is better then that french cognac and that italian sports car is better then this italian sports car

you cant really lose with a spanish goalkeeper

well unless you sign a reserve from the segunda

subtle, but i lol'd.

crazy how an uncapped, fourth choice for his national side 'keeper can go for (i think i'm right in saying) the second biggest transfer fee for a 'keeper ever - and universally be seen as good value.

[Guest Portuguese]

3rd behind Buffon/Neuer

[HangTheDJ]

How much was that (Neuer)?

Buffon was £35m wasn't he?

Christ, where would that rank Foster if we pay £10m for him?

[Guest Portuguese]

Taken from the BBC site(Its a bit lazy because they failed to mention Neuer)

MOST EXPENSIVE GOALKEEPERS

Gianluigi Buffon - £32.6m

David de Gea - £18.9m*

Angelo Peruzzi - £10.5m

Craig Gordon - £9m

Fabien Barthez - £7.8m

Foster would be 5th

Neuer cost Bayern €18m plus (more or less guaranteed) €7m in bonuses, that's up to £22m in total, and he only had one year left on his contract so imagine if he still had three years left to run what the fee would of been.

+1

[Mr Q]

Wait, what?!

£10 Million for BENJAMIN 'I'm too tired to play football for England' FOSTER?!?

McLeish is a double agent if this happens.

[HangTheDJ]

They paid £6m, he's had a good season and it's them. I was surprised it wasn't more.

They quoted Sunderland £14m for Johnson with a year on his deal

[Kompressor]

tbh 10 Mill for Foster in the footballing world represents "good value"

he cost 6 when he was second choice, and now after a season playing first choice it'll definitly be more, and i imagine he'll have loads left on his contract too,

plus the age an nationality factor

[Kompressor]

They paid £6m, he's had a good season and it's them. I was surprised it wasn't more.

They quoted Sunderland £14m for Johnson with a year on his deal

well i take it Johnson will be going for a cut price this season, or a free next season.

ridiculous

[Kompressor]

Does anyone else think, that for the coming season, Nani could be at times deployed as our CAM player?

he played there a couple times in games last season and looked pretty good,

could this be a ready made option instead of buying?

[Michel Kane]

Nani whilst having good technique, not sure if he's got the spatial awareness to excel there IMO.

Then again, the way 'hole' players play in England is very different to the way 'hole' players play everywhere else.

[Kompressor]

why would someone NEG a perfectly reasonable question,

baffed

[Kompressor]

Scott Wootton Just tweeted that it looks like he's going on loan to Peterboro this season,

let the debate re-commence lads

[Kompressor]

Right, Two Negs, im close to tears now, how can i lodge a formal protest?

[Young £]

Peterborough United have brought in young Manchester United pair Ryan Tunnicliffe and Scott Wootton on loan.

Midfielder Tunnicliffe, 18, and 19-year-old defender Wootton have yet to make their first-team United debuts.

Wootton, who switched to the Red Devils from the Liverpool academy in 2007, played nine times during a loan spell at Tranmere last season.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony confirmed the deals on Twitter.

"Gaffer just told me two United lads signed on loan, Tunnicliffe & Wooton signed up," he said on the social networking site.

The length of the loan spells has yet to be confirmed, but it is believed they will both be for the duration of the season.

Tunnicliffe played a key role in United's FA Youth Cup success last season, which culminated in victory over Sheffield United.

rumour mill about Yann M'Vila is picking up

I cant help but excited cause in my view this would be the ideal midfielder for us

[Guest Portuguese]

You do know what type of midfielder he is?

[Young £]

yes

DM.. Makele mould but with the ability to build from deep

would star in a midfield with carrick & anderson

give carrick a bit more of a license further up the pitch

[Guest M12 Part 2]

Lol at carrick and Anderson. If we don't sign nasri, sneijder or some other form of ard body cm we are f*cked again. Anderson has the potential to be good but f*ck relying on him week in week out the way he's been playing. He needs to earn a spot not be guaranteed it. Carrick needs to go Sunderland with gibbo and oshea.

[Guest Portuguese]

yes

Correct

I hope SAF realises this and signs Modric as well as Scholes replacement

[The King]

Lol at wanting carrick out

[TF S4DK]

If M'Vila backtracked on his decision to stay at Rennes, I think he have to sell it as Rennes accepted the offer for me and wanted the cash.

Well done YM
