Yes, definitely for Brown's sake. At least, that's what I think. For Oshea, I believe he still can offer us something, fullbacks mostly. We got a young defenders lineup, so he could offer us the experience.

and the wage structure too is a problem...i dont think a player like Sneijder would settle for anythg less than a hundred thousand per week..if these 3, De Gea PJ and Young do come, then imo another signing is unlikely...Varane's link has also gone cold now...maybe, just maybe we can finally see some reserves break into the first team

i think theirs is 16mil + add ons become 20mil...but Henderson's age is 20 and PJ is 19, so he is not in the "teen" category anymore 

Where's Cleverly? All of the youngster, I would like to see him play the most!

why some ppl say its consider splashing the cash or overpriced if we sign modric or sneijder but its okay for 20million young? lol. both modric and sneijder is worth the extra 5-10million if 20million for young is considered 'okay'.

priority is in the middle of the park, we have enough wingers even if we dont sign Young. Alot of players are fast, but not all have the football brain and energy to play in the middle of the park IMHO.

and all this were assuming from the gaffers word were "interested".weve had players turning us down on the 11th in the past so this isnt confirmed either.besides i think if this one doesnt work, the gaffer must have back up plans, fail to plan is planning to fail.

fingers crossed he is deflecting just to get some peace for the u21 tourney.

as for our reserve lads, pogba, morrison and many all have talent but they are not ready yet.cleverly, wellbeck, kiko and diouf are the ones we'ill see more and more next season imo with spaces opening tho none of the slots in defence kohkoh bebe obertan needs time away from the club, its a right of passage these days for youths.if they are not with a senior team, we can train them more then 2 hrs, another befit of getting a loan.

as for pogba, morrison and the others next season will be their "intro" season starting with the league cup.they may look ready now, but the playing field isnt the same at the moment tho they are knocking all the right doors.

yea, i think thats why he's worth 20million. but if young at 20million already considered 'terrific signing' (quoting someone), i see modric or sneijder at 25million to be super-worth-the-money signing 

oh, also, maybe SAF will wait for the U21 games to end, then see whether got other gems to sign 

Alexis Sanchez - personal call
Young - deals agreed
Nasri - interested in joining us
Modric - this one still unsure
De Gea - just a matter of time
Phil Jones.  - done medical

whoa lots of new faces next season! at least 5.

its not org ptg que that im referring man.besides it wont need a top club for him, he is already a spaniard that says volume about moving to english.plus agent these days is no bearing.they may well be the source of unwanted stuffs.

well we see la what happends.im highly sceptical bcoz he is spaniard thats all.if he were other nationality aku pun rasa konpiden sket.

very very excited by the prospect of nasri joining us.
young , good looking ,creative and can score beautiful goals too

if things goes smoothly and if indeed could be finalise , hope he'll get the no7 jersey

beaten and made to look like skoolkids by barca ,especially in midfields the past two ucl final has taken a heavy toll on me

neville and scholes have know when to stop playing. when will giggs and even carrick follow suit

SAF can be too sentimental at times

 
what about Khairul Fahmi?

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson is planning major surgery on his midfield following the retirement of Scholes and Owen Hargreaves' release. Aston Villa's £15m England winger-cum-forward Ashley Young is set to be imported as part of the strategy and United fans are hoping that the stellar signing of Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder comes off.

But 21-year-old Cleverley is aiming to build a case for his name to be in the frame. The midfielder begins England Under 21s European Championship bid in Denmark against Spain and, after a successful season on loan at Wigan, hopes to remind Fergie that he can cut it in the competitive jungle of the Reds engine room next season.

“Paul Scholes' boots are very big ones to fill,” Tom told M.E.N Sport. “He's been a winner and a great player. Any team is going to miss a player of that ability. But as always somebody has to step up. You hope that given the chance you can, along with everyone else, give something so he is not missed as much. “I hope I can put my case forward and save the club some money. Wigan have helped me and I feel I am ready to tackle the job at United.

“I have spoken to the manager. We have had two or three discussions. They were good chats and he will be speaking to me again after the European Championships. “I know United will be buying players this summer. The reality is that United are the biggest club in the world so they are going to be interested in the best. “They will be linked with players and they will buy top players. You grow up at the club knowing that will be the case. That is part of the challenge. “But we all know the manager promotes young home grown players so you have to show you are good enough. After the experiences at Wigan I know what it takes now at Premier League level. I want to be part of the manager's plans.”

In a bid to improve his Old Trafford portfolio Cleverley was a keen student at Wembley when United were taken apart by Barcelona in the Champions League final.

“As a United player and fan it wasn't a great experience at Wembley but as part of my education it was a massive lesson for me,” added Tom. “From my point of view to study at close quarters Messi, Xavi and Iniesta was invaluable. Messi is wonderful but I think I can model my game on Xavi and Iniesta and also Pedro. “The movement from those guys is incredible. They are not massive physically but they stay on the ball. They shield it so well. They used their body brilliantly. “I need to get that into my game. My upper body strength has to be better but it is not all about working out in the gym it is also about how you use your body. “They also out think opponents and that is something else I need to learn from them. “Hopefully picking up those bits and bobs plus all the experience I will get at the European Championships will mean I will be a better player and ready for the challenge at United.”

i think they in doubt how man utd so "lucky" to noe the exact amount of release clause

the terms of contract should be confidential ..right?

Jones plays what position last night. from soccernet it looks like a 5-3-2?

im quiet baffling if United continue bidding 20-24 mil GBP for Jones, after SAF talked much about value last few seasons. but SAF know the best. maybe Jones are promising /young enough to be mould as DM /destroyer.

as far as i know, Jones is very smart defender like Ferdinand, great positional sense, smart tackler, but not really a ball player.. also not a hard tackler like Vidic. his size is average compare to others English CB.

a CB not an urgent reinforcement we need. Ferdinand might be crock, but Smalling and Evans are good enough to deputies Vidic /Ferdinand.

but maybe SAF have massive transfer kitty we dont know about (or it might coming from potential new owner /investor)

If we sign Young, I think it's fine if we do not sign Modric or Sneijder. Giggs can move to centre while Nani and Young can fight for left side position. Cleverly can be used ala Anderson last season. Anderson needs to step up and become a prominent figure for our centre midfield next season. Carrick still can play.

So, we got Carrick, Giggs, Anderson, and Cleverly there. Rooney can drop deep as well. Not as good as what we all have been wishing for, but good enough for me.

fuhh closing the deal with £20m not sure what to say but were either that desperate, or weve couldnt care less or last but not least all is just press writing what they dont know.

the plot is yet to be fully exposed we will see what happens, and i doubt were paying the £20m..some how it doesnt feel like fergie.

before Glazer take over : 9.6M per season spending
after Glazer take over : 2.4M per season

 

Easy, we're actually paying the extra 4 mil for vaselines, to keep other teams from butthurted. but i think they're butthurted already. hmm.

How come no more news on charlie adams? Everyone give up dy?

Maybe, but game nowadays if you can play AM, you probably can play CM as well although you will need to adjust a little bit. But you are right that he needs more time. I hope he can play once a while next season and impress us. If you look at his goals for Wigan/reserve/Watford, they all came from middle of the penalty box. Plus his physical and body language looks like younger Scholes!

Added on June 13, 2011, 5:07 pmI seriously hope that Cleverly, Welback, Macheda can make the grades alongside the twins and Smalling next 2 seasons. If this happen, we might see another Fergie Fledgling v2.
