    Strong reports linking you with him. Just wondering where he will fit in with nani, young and valencia while kagawa can play there too. Do you think you need him. In case you're wondering yes i will be devastated if you get him as i think he is quality (though ive only seen him on youtube) so i hope he joins madrid...though it'll be all good if you can pip man city to the title!

    not sure if true but according to recent reports you and real have both had bids accepted though you seem to obviously be in for him.

    He more of a tricky winger in my opinion, but Brazilian clubs rarely use out and out wide men so it's easy to see why he often gets classed as an AM.

    Can't imagine him fancying life in England... much more likely to go to Spain/Italy, but then again anything can happen.

    Also, he'd most likely be kicked to pieces by the like of Shawcross, Hangeland, Skrtel...

    Weren't you paying 30m for players 10 years ago?

    Think there's a chance he'll go to Inter, they're rebuilding.

    Yes but normally it would either be the only major signing or the rest would be paid for by sales. Having already signed Kagawa and Powell for over 20 million combined and rumors of Baines as well. It would certainly be an unusually big spending season, Then again maybe Fergie has decided thats the only way to fight City.

    I agree in the past few years you've spent less, but United have always spent big money (because you made far more money than anyone else).

    If I was Fergie I'd be taking Fellaini from Everton, not Baines.

    If he has a good Olympics or a good world cup his value will soar.

    The South Americans take it very seriously... If he keeps progressing he could light up Brazil 2014, and be the poster boy for homegrown, Brazilian Serie A talent.

    Just sign Neymar and get it over with. I'd pay whatever they want for him. The commercial revenue would pay for it and his wages. His sell on would be phenomenal as well. Plus he is awesome.
    What was that? "we already have nani, young, valencia..." you say. So what. I would at least test the waters.

    Anyway...back to reality. Moura is alright. A bit overpriced. For 30mil surely we could get a James Rodriguez, Thiago Alcantara, Javi MArtinez, Gotze, Bastian, KPB (i think he's class too), De Rossi....

    It's rumored that Neymar has already agreed to join Barcelona in 2014 for around £45 million with a percentage of that already paid in advance.

    Neymar is an awesome player, but is too light weight for the premier league.

    He seems like more of a Madrid player than a Barca one.

    He doesn't have the discipline or work-rate needed at Barca.

    hmm i actually expect powell to play a bit part role this season much like ramsey in his first season. Though call me deluded by i expect the title to be between you guys and chelsea at this rate though that owing to the fact that man city really haven't started spending yet. Moura seems to have a lot of potential though hes known to overcomplicate matters too much the talent is there though and may prove to be more productive than hazard. At any rate you guys have a lot of depth next year. Btw if you must finish above is as is likely please beat city to the title. I live in london but their recent influx of support really annoys me!

    We don't even need him. Not sure why Fergie is not trying to sign a central midfielder which we have been lacking for a while now.
