VDB to Crystal Palace

Lingard to Newcastle 

Martial to Sevilla

 

One of these loans has already gone through.

 

Can you see us getting all of these done? And would it leave us a little thin on the ground? Personally I think we need to make a bit of space and would be good to see the likes of Diallo see the light of day.

I'd be amazed if Newcastle pay the alleged fee United want for Lingard

It's not like they can't afford it. 

 

All of these negotiations will drag on til deadline day I think. Nobody wants to give an inch.

Surprised at that to be honest. But that will be good for his development for sure.

Affording it is not the issue. I've dealt with Saudi's for years and they're no fools. They are a nation built on trading and MBS particularly hardnosed. Yes, I have no doubt they know they'll be paying premium's to get players for a relegation fight but they will not be taken the pish out of. Losing face is as big in Saudi as it is in Thailand. As I say, I'd be amazed if they pay the amounts currently being banded around. I reckon the loan would only happen if United be more realistic

Going to Rangers would that be better for him than Birmingham?

We don't want to look like fools either. I expect we'll meet somewhere in the middle closer to deadline day

Three players who would improve Manchester United's midfield in the summer

 

Youri Tielemans (Leicester City)

Youri Tielemans is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in the country at the moment. He's proven in the Premier League and also has experience playing in Europe's biggest tournaments.

 

Declan Rice (West Ham United)

Declan Rice is one of United's top targets, and that is no surprise once recognising his evolution at West Ham United over the course of the past 18 months.

 

Aurélien Tchouaméni (AS Monaco)

Aurelien Tchouameni is arguably the biggest talent at AS Monaco. His 22nd birthday was on Thursday and he's a regular starter for the French outfit, having featured in all but three of his team's last 60 matches in Ligue 1 dating back to the beginning of last season.

He's played only twice for the Under-23s since returning from injury, playing the full games against Tottenham and Leeds. He scored twice and set up another goal in the second of those fixtures

I'm sure he will. Don't forget, they've lost Hagi for the season with injury.

Loaning him to Newcastle at the same price you did to West Ham won't make you look like fools but now including add ons you want Newcastle to fork out about £1m per week.........for Lingard ????

If they stay up.

 

In terms of a loan deal for a proven PL performer (and recently proven to make an impact on loan) he's probably the best available. And the fact is everyone knows the Saudis are swimming in money. But I agree, can expect them to play hardball a bit.

A question for you ChipButty, as you seem to be in the know about these things, however I would love to hear from anybody else who has an answer to my question: – why did United sign DVB and never give him a chance??

 

There were rumours that he was signed without OGS involvement, however that would seem to be unlikely being that the manager would have the last say over what players are signed?

 

Such a shame for the player because he was well fêted by the press when he played for Ajax and of course he was a Dutch international has – so what happened?

Nobody is saying a word about DVB I also get the feeling Ole had nothing to do with this transfer, Carrick for the few games in charge would have been well placed to play him or not, so between Ole Carrick and RR he cant get a game, I was hoping he could get a loan move to CP then we could see if he can hack it in the PL but that deal is being done by his future father in law Dennis Berkamp big mates with Viera..

I the only thing I was ever told was he is not fit enough to last 90 minutes,

I did think he would have been a Rangnick type of player obviously not,

Sorry thats the best I can come up with,

Sorry bud. It might not be related to VDB but it is related to OGS so it can stay.

If what is said on Twitter about OGS and his friend, is anywhere near the truth, then it stinks to high heaven, but it would explain why OGS signed so many duds!

Mate this isn't flaming, it doesn't question anything about your club, nor slander it. It's a very interesting and credible story though. Surely you've read more about this from your own credible fans, they've commented. 

As Xylophone mentioned it makes sense.

I did have a look and the tweet is from a Man U supporter.

It's not flaming but whoever wrote that article could have a libel case arriving at their door.... 2 biggest crooks in football? There's some serious competition there don't you think?

Yeah ok, but go through the thread and it is credible. I totally agree there is some serious competition.

Rashford to PSG in the summer possible apparently

 

IMO we can only keep 3 of Martial, Rashford, Greenwood, Elanga and Sancho realistically

 

I'd be happy for the first 2 of those players to go

I'd look at Greenwood as well bud. If pics and audio  are to be believed he has beaten up is girlfriend! and forced her to have sex. Might get a transfer to Strangeways!

Not looking good. Disgusting if true. Let's wait to see if he really did do that and if that recording is really him.
