Three world class players in one summer is not to be sniffed at. We've got to get our own squad in order.

Cannon - you're overestimating United's pulling power this summer.

TBH i don't care who they get as long as we get who we want. We really need 3-4 signings IMO

Italian journalist DiMarzio saying Liverpool are trying to sign Shakiri from Bayern

Wenger's waiting for all the big teams to make moves so he can feed off the scraps

I've fancied that one to happen since Vidic said he's leaving actually. Even moreso now van Gaal's there. Vermaelen only has a year left on his contract and I reckon we could see it as an opportunity to avoid losing him for free next summer. Ain't no way he's signing a new contract.

I could live with selling them another player, another captain no less! There's a chance it might reinvigorate him and then they'd be getting a good player, but if I'm honest I was wrong all along on Thomas; he was never that good a defender. Koscielny's a couple of levels above even Vermaelen's best. I'm hoping that sort of level is about the maximum United are able to recruit this summer. The likes of Alex Song, Kevin Strootman etc.

Would be a brilliant signing.

-----------Sturridge
Sterling---------------Shaqiri

Really fucking dangerous, even if Suarez leaves.

He's like a tiny body builder. Good player but nothing like Suarez level, huge downgrade.

Song did pretty much the same thing Fabregas did. He acted like a cunt so we would sell him as soon as Barca made their interest known. Fuck him.

Sky Sports saying Man Utd have made a bid for Vermaelen.

I don't think we should sell him for less than £15m

There were some rumours a while back him along with a few of the African boys were known to be trouble makers in the dressing room which is why we didn't hesitate to get rid of all them

Im pretty sure he only has a year left.

I hope we have seen the last of our players going to rivals. I don't care if it's Sanogo they want.

Even so he shouldn't be sold on the cheap. Not a lot of good CBs on the market and I do think Vermaelen has the ability to play for a top side. If we can't get a good fee and a good replacement in id rather let him go for free next summer

He shouldn't be sold at all.

Not even slightly similar apart from the destination. They bid and we pretty much instantly accepted. Clearly Wenger wasn't bothered holding on to him.

That said I don't think he'd do well at Chelsea under Mourinho.

Vermaelen is average. He'd be easily replaced. Would still be annoying to see him at United. Although I can imagine there would be a lot of "agent Vermaelen" jokes when he inevitably fucks it up.
