Transfer Rumours The Manchester United Transfer Rumours Thread -Updated Daily!

He could always shun Cheshire for the bright lights of downtown Manchester. What's not to like, eh?

You never know though, he might just fancy a change of environment for a while. It's not unheard of. He's got the rest of his life to live in Madrid.

I always assumed he was being bought to play on the right and we'd also get a centre half. Or am I setting the bar a bit too high there?!?

 

But if that was the main criteria for deciding who to play for, Liverpool would never sign any half decent players.

Hmmm...actually you may be on to something there

 

As for his wages, he's reported as getting 4.5-5 million euros per year at Real. When you consider that's how much we pay Jonny Evans, and about a quarter less than Valencia gets, it's a fair bet he could get a big chunk more at Utd.

 

According to the Daily Fail we're going to swap De Gea for the Real Madrid first team - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ic-thwart-David-Gea-s-expected-departure.html
Bloody papers are pathetic, it gets worse each transfer window.

 

Have we signed anyone yet?

 

We dont need any players, as we have 30 world class players as it is

 

Excellent point well made.

 

If you can sneak them all on the pitch at the same time I'm backing you for top 3.

 

They can hide them all behind Shaw.

 

It's probably easier if we make a list of who we haven't bought.

 

Might as well just sign you in that case, hell of a lot cheaper

 

Fck me there's not much quality out there. DM's, CB's, FB's. Fck all except the same merry-go-round of names.

 

That's the kiss of death to that signing Like the hint of a beer belly though.

 

I hate Ramos but he will have a huge impact on our defence. The reason I hate him is because hes a dirty bastard and a serial winner. We have far to many nice guys in the side so adding someone who wouldnt allow anyone to walk over him can only be good.

Its like van Persie (minus the serial winner but im his goon days).

Of course thats if we sign him.

Hes got 19 red cards top Keane had 7 for comparison.

 

Madrid thought to have made enquiry for Koscielny so Ramos must be on the way out somewhere.

 

If a) he plays RB or
b) is paired with Hummels as a CB pairing

THEN he will be part of what we need this summer. On his own he won't mean much in that back 4 tbh.

 

Maybe having a brain freeze but havent they already got Pepe?

 

Yep but everybody needs to cover injury/suspension.

 

Eh? Of course he will. He plays to win. Hes unlikely to back out of any challenge (both tackles and battles with opponents) and is better than any of our current CBs bar Smalling (potentially).

If nothing else he would add leadership. Something the defence seriously lacks.

And theres absolutely no chance of him playing rb. If he comes, it will be as a centreback. If thats alongside Hummels then great but I think he would also be great alongside Smalling.

Hes not the only option obviously, by all accounts, Otamendi is a similar kind of defender too. Someone with a bit of backbone and bite, never overawed.

Plus getting Ramos of Madrid is a hell of a statement. Hes a top dog at Madrid and not one surplus to requirements. Imagine signing him and then keeping De Gea...
