Tracking summer window rumours/lies

In the bag then

Claudius

Is this guy an upgrade on Sagna and the Corporal?

Clrnc

Supposedly highly rated in france, one of 2 best young RBs along with Aurier. Personally never seen him play a match before, but read that he is dead ball specialist and good in attack.

Meanwhile, Chelsea close to sealing Schurrle deal for 20m and with De Bruyne moving the other way.

Irishgunner

Corchia's awesome in FM... 😆

Schurrle would be a very good signing, ridiculously expensive at 20m + De Bruyne though.

The Daily Star says we're targetting Casillas.

Yeah right. 😆

Fergie said something odd today about us building a good squad. Wonder if he knows something we dont

Claudius

Could be the case that we are building a squad. We have decent pieces. But you need players to stay to build a squad. Look at how long United have had Rooney, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Giggs and even Ferdinand/Scholes. If in two years time Cazorla, Wilshere and Koscielny are gone, then it would've been for nought.

Burnwinter

I guess that's one way to look at it. Another way is that we're in the best position vis-a-vis player retention that we have been for ages—we just need better players.

Next season Chelsea continue in transition with another new manager, Terry, Cole and Lampard gone or fading further, and new signings. City will be in upheaval, Liverpool will continue mediocre, Spurs will probably lose Bale in the summer. Sadly United look like they'll have good continuity.

I think Liverpool are improving and I can see them switching roles with spurs

Burnwinter

Yeah, dunno.

I think Spurs might drop off especially if His Apeyness departs, but I just don't have any faith in the Rodgers project. Rodgers seems to be technically a good manager, but when the going gets tough, he's such a laughable personality type I think the whole thing's going to implode. And Liverpool is not a patient setup.

lorddulaarsenal

Spurs may stay the same level but will eventually drop; especially when bale leaves and they have to up their wage bill

I really think we are in great shape to press on. It's just a case of adding a few players of undoubted quality. That said who knows what bizarro may do

Burnwinter

That's true. Spurs will be behind the eight ball financially—new stadium dreams, and probably £50m of wages per season coming their way too. Well that just convinces me they're fucked.

Next season we'll have all the important players we've had this season, and if we add a really good, vocal, strong, no bullshit centreback and a star forward we might be interesting.

Probably the biggest variable is where will Mourinho be …

Nela

I feel pretty positive about our team and its future. Well, at least better than the I've felt for the past couple of years anyway.

However I still think we need a GK, CB, DM, Striker and if we really want to compete at the top, another creative Cazorla type player.

y va marquer

So, apart from needing a new spine, we're well set up? 🙂
A 20 goal a season striker and a Yayaesque midfielder would be my top priorities.

CitizenNo9

Fergie doesn't pay complements to his rivals, so I would be worried.

Pepe LeFrits

He wants Jack

That's an excellent point actually, I hadn't considered the other club's situations in regards to next season.

I can genuinely see him going back to Chelsea unfortunately 🙁

Burnwinter

Mourinho might actually go on sabbatical, I was thinking. He must have looked at Guardiola and realised how much his stock could rise off the market.

Especially if he thinks Ferguson might retire at the end of next season for example.

Claudius

we should get him in for two seasons. that wouldn't get in the way of his future Old Trafford ambitions. might re-animate us.

speedy

Linked with Kalou today. Thank god I was starting to worry about the guy.
