Looks like we showed an interest in Reading's Alex McCarthy (24 yr old GK) but he turned us down in favour of a move to QPR as think he's more likely to get game time there. Can't blame him with that reasoning to be fair.
Proof that Man U are turning into Man Citeh and going money mad, you could go Burke & Hare and do it for free
Mandžukić, think most people already know about him. Griezmann is the one to watch at A.Madrid this year.
Manchester United and Liverpool want Bayer Leverkusen's £10m-rated Germany midfielder Christoph Kramer, 23, but face competition from Borussia Monchengladbach.
Bayern Munich cock blocked us http://www1.skysports.com/football/...liverpool-failed-with-bid-for-xherdan-shaqiri
I just came to post this from Twitter: Xherdan Shaqiri: "Liverpool made a bid for me before World Cup but Bayern put their foot down and told me, ‘We’re not going to sell you’."
As a wide option, I still think we could go in for Shaqiri. He wanted to leave, he's not getting a look in at Bayern and his contract runs until 2016, come January I can him trying to push through a move if we showed interest. I know we have Markovic and Sterling for the wide positions but come January if we have a £20m budget and no pressing issues in the squad then I'd like us to invest in him, a young player with talent who could challenge for the first team..
I think Sterling is going to be used in the hole as a first option to be honest, well he should be, anyway. Would love Shaqiri to come, think he's a better player than Markovic and Lallana and has more potential than both, but how amazing would it be having to choose from Sterling/Ibe/Shaqiri/Markovic/Couthino/Lallana for the wide and CAM positions next year? Really exciting times.
