After Ferguson’s announcement some days ago, David Gill has said that it is possible that ManUtd will continue to be active on the transfer market, even during the pre-season Asia trip.
Once SAF had declared that he would not sign anymore players the rumour mill has died up, but actual prices of certain players don’t seem to be as high as thought. Real Madrid has accepted a £15.5m offer from Stuttgart for Huntelaar which seems really good value. It is rumoured that the Dutch striker is holding out and hopes a Premier League club will make an offer. Spurs are said to be negotiating with Madrid, who would have to pay Ajax €6m if Huntelaar joins another club. I think Gill and SAF are already on the case, but we will not move for Ibrahimović because he is massively overvalued. So are Aguero and Villa.

After initial negotiations for the Brazilian U20 international Douglas Costa were reported to have failed, a move seems to come closer every day now. ManUtd was said to offer the Brazilian a 3 weeks trial before wanting to finalize a move, but Gremio considered the player, who’s hailed as the new Robinho too good for a trial. Initial reports hinted at a £12m offer for the international but Gremio is holding out for around £20, close to the buy-out clause in the youngster’s contract. Negotiations are on going but we know the line, SAF gets who he wants. Continue reading »

In a less surprising Sunday afternoon rumour the NOTW tries to create some buzz around glamour boy David Beckham by announcing that he would return to the Premier League if AC Milan would not sign him again. Becks has more than once expressed his intention to participate to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, probably as often as Capello has said that he would have to play regularly in the period before the World Cup and play on a high level. As known the MLS has a break in the months before the tournament.

Last season Becks was loaned out to AC Milan for 5 months and he hopes to return to the Italian squad next January. But the rumour mill obviously has started and he is said to be in touch with Spurs and the Council House in case a deal with Milan would fail. In the 2007-2008 season Becks trained 2 months with Arsenal to stay fit and maintain his chances on being selected for the England squad. That was a rather big slap in the face of many a ManUtd fan but how would we feel if now he would opt for the big bucks and sign for several months at Manchester City?

This comes from the most unreliable and untrustworthy source, The News of the World. I do not know if I even should take this serious on a Sunday morning, to me it seems like the perfect Sunday morning transfer talk rumour, but NOTW says that SAF is preparing a £25m bid for Cameroun striker Samuel Eto’o. What makes this rumour more unbelievable even is the mentioned £150k/week which would make the Barcelona striker the best player at ManUtd from his first day and be more then the £130k/week CR7 earned.

Eto’o has been mentioned in rumours in the past and he certainly would be a welcome addition to our (to any) squad, funnier even would be to snatch him from under the megamillions from Eastland, but with many titles and Champions League football that obviously isn’t too hard if the other town club only a blue carpet on offer has in the trophy room. Still I do not see it happen and will classify this as a typical ‘NOTW Sunday morning sensation entry’. If there’s any truth about this news, I will obviously welcome Samuel Eto’o with the biggest passion! ;)

Another day, another international rising superstar rumour. This time the rumour kitchen brings us the news of a tabbed offer for the services of Sergio Aguero. SAF is said to have offered £18m PLUS Berbatov to secure the Spanish 21 year old international, who is understood to have a £50m buy-out clause. So far none of these Spanish rumours have been confirmed and to me it seems very doubtful that SAF would sacrifice the mainly by himself highly hyped Bulgarian international.

So far Atletico Madrid have always maintained that Aguero not for sale is so it seems unlikely that a cash plus player deal could be sufficient, especially considered the difference in age between Aguero and Berbatov.

On that note though, I do think that Berba would be a lot more efficient in the Primera Division than he has been for us so far. The more open game in Spain definitely suits his game better than pushing the opponent against the wall and hope to find that small hole and score like we love to do at ManUtd.

Do we want Aguero? Heck yes! He would give every defense a run for their money and soon EPL fans would have forgotten about freckle boy Torres! I would love to see Sergio Aguero be part of our squad but I don’t see it happen.

Rumours are about that SAF might make a swoop for the 27 year old Swedish star. More than once over the last weeks it has been rumoured that Mourinho/Inter Milan would allow the 2008-2009 topscorer of the Serie A to leave for the correct amount. Speculation is that SAF is ready to offer £30m for Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Ibrahimović club track record

1999 – 2001: Malmö – 40 appearances – 16 goals (40% strike rate)
2001 – 2004: Ajax – 74 appearances – 35 goals (47% strike rate)
2004 – 2006: Juventus – 70 appearances – 23 goals (33% strike rate)
2006 – present: Internazionale – 88 appearances – 57 goals (65% strike rate)
Total: 272 appearances – 131 goals (48% strike rate)

Those are very impressive stats, better than Michael Owen’s track record. Zlatan won the Capocannoniere, Italian domestic top scorer title, in 2009 with 25 goals.
Another thing not to forget about the Swede is that he is 6’31⁄2″ tall.

What do you think guys?

After the jump Zlatan’s amazing “Goal of the Year 2008″ against Bologna FC.

So we had another win at our tour.Pirates were brought down by one goal scored by United’s Lee Martin.There was no more action apart from that after playing couple of tiring matches.Really i won’t be seeing anymore after watching United’s match against Kaizer Chefs.But hey if you want to see the future United you have to follow their games.Read the full report over here.

Yesterday there was a small warning coming from our Cheif Executive,David Gill warning Real for creating the present situation.He added United has already declared that Ronaldo was not for sale since United’s match at Zurich so there’s no point persuading anyone.Not a single bid would be welcomed.Also Fergie has warned Ronaldo that moving to Real is a big mistake and it will be hard for him to get the flair what he has at present.Giving examples of best players who left United in their prime time.

Apart from that Fergie confessed and pointed that Rooney is more like a mid-fielder rather than a natural striker.Rooney as such his not a clinical striker but his more like  play maker.So even if he contributes nothing at Goals we still feel he’s the only man for United.Once he has controlled his aggression he can be suited more comfortably in mid-field roles as its the area where we have maximum tackles.
