Well the articles are beginning to flow in with rumors and thoughts on who BR will be signing in January. After his most recent interview, things look up on the striker front and that we will be able to land someone. Question will be is this striker going to be for the now or for down the road? Edit: Names that are be coming more of a possibility Sturridge ( RHC says nailed on) Ince ( RHC says nailed on) Walcott ( 6D thinks this is still going but with his current scoring rate, doubt it) Sanchez ( winger on loan if it happens) Jeffren Suarez (Sporting winger, not sure on loan or buy) Butland ( scratching my head as why this would be a January purchase?) Mirin ( French defender) De Frij ( Dutch defender) Ba ( Arsenal seems his destination or where he would like to go) OUTS: Cole ( please lord) Downing ( just getting the kick up the arse before the boot out the door) Robinson (loan possibly) Ngoo (loan possibly) Wilson ( If he is not out on loan will probably go on loan) Other notes, Assaidi will be gone for a month with ACON but not that he is really being used anyway. Borini should be returning pretty soon to provide another option up front (again).
Gary Hooper, Demba Ba, Darren Bent. I dont think we need a striker for down the road. We need one for now.
Another to possibly add, doubt he would come to the prem and the Serie A would be his destination but..... Injury prone? yes. Quality he is though, still young, and at the moment witha team in the second division. Not sure if United have anything that would block him though.
With regards to January it will also be interesting to see who leaves. Cole and Downing surely anyone beyond those 2?
Cole I can see. Downing only if the right price I feel as Rodgers may feel he can use him in cup games ( if we are in any at that point mind). I just don't think we will need to sell to buy and I think there have been countless threads that have broken down how much we have taken off the wage bill, recouped from sales, and that we didn't exactly splash the cash this summer.
Cole and Downing if we can find someone to take them would guess pacheco and Wilson could be possibles if not think they will go out on loan. Doni might go somewhere if we can find him!
I'm starting to doubt he ever existed, has anyone ever actually seen this Doni fella? He's made up just to add a brazilian to our squad.
United have first option to speak to the player should they match any bid accepted by Villareal. so if Villareal accept £8m from Spurs & £35m from us - United could match Spurs £8m bis and get to speak to the player first. Would united buy a player to spite us? Probably Would we hypothetically bid £35m on him? Those days are long gone
Huntelaar FAKE STORY David Villa FAKE STORY Tomar Herned FAKE STORY Son FAKE SOTRY Jurgen Locadia FAKE STORY Sturridge ( loan-potentail to buy) NO CHANCE WHILE MEDALS ARE AVAILABLE Walcott NO CHANCE, WHINGER, INJURIES, TOO MUCH MONEY IN WAGES ETC ETC Lewis Holtby CHILD Eriksen NO CHANCE IN HELL honeslty i think if LOAN is not i nthe wording of any deal we'll not be getting anyone. thoughts of 20mil form nowhere are nice but lets wait and see.
It was a competition on the LFC website we thought it was only Blackburn so we might as well do a draw for a fan to go in goal for the game.
This rumor started today... I can see someone like him signing, a sort of unknown, where did he come from type of striker and not the high profile ones.
