Manchester United’s Summer Transfer Agenda 2007
Ed’s note: Please give Ross a warm welcome - he’s been a Soccerlens reader from the BNN times (Before NewsNow) and as such deserves our respect (for putting up with us on a day to day basis).
Manchester United’s summer transfer agenda, based on facts and not on heresay.
We know:
- Sir Alex Ferguson is after 3 targets
- We do not need to sell players in order to buy
- We need to fill impending holes in the midfield - Centre/Holding and Left midfield
- And we do need another reliable striker
And defender’s are still seemingly linked with United which is beyond my understanding why…
So, onto targets, of course I could just throw in a bunch of Gattuso, Berbatov based names here, but I’m not, I’m going to write justifiable targets who have been sparingly thrown into the news over the past year about a move to United.
Midfield
- Owen Hargreaves (how original) - I can stereotypically see this happening this year and would be a good solution for the next 5-7 years in our midfield, runs alot, covers defence and a good passer of the ball. But for £16-£20 Million…I’m not so sure…But still, a given for the summer.
- Nani - Just signed a new contract, but I would still like to see Nani added to the United Roster within the next 2 years, perhaps summer 2008 signing as Giggs after a good rest in the summer will be raring to go next season limiting Nani’s chances should he be signed.
- Kevin Nolan - Scholes scouted Nolan for a long period in the 2005/2006 season and several times this season. Scholes and Sir Alex are keen admirers, with Big Sam having departed Bolton…Who know’s?
- Gattuso - No…It’s not happening, Period.
- Florent Malouda - Recently stated he wished to leave OL, could happen, though I feel his style of football is more suited to the Arsenal’s or Barcelona’s of the footballing world. Unlikely to happen.
- Wesley Sneider - Touted to move this summer from Ajax, but with Valencia his prefurred destination and Bayern hot on his tail and Manchester Uniteds cooled interest, looking extremely doubtful.
- Joey Barton - I would personally like to see this happen, he’s cheap, young, and seems the natural player to take the role of Roy Keane within the team (to an extent). He has it all, pace, tenacity, shooting, and great vision, for £5.5 million, a good addition, but all speculation as yet.
Midfielders In = Hargreaves, Nani within the next 2 seasons.
Strikers
Jan-Klass Huntelaar - Reliable, 2 great seasons always linked with United. Would like to see it happen.
Fernando Torres - It doesn’t seem as if it will happen.
Tevez - If he moves clubs, it will be abroad.
Berbatov - He’ll stay at Tottenham. Enough said.
Micheal Owen - He’ll stay at Newcastle to save his own pride after the big money move.
Viduka - On a free…If it does happen it would be kinda cool, i mean a great striker, a little old, but under everyones noses…he would excell at Manchester no doubt.
Eto’o - £40 million, too expensive.
Strikers - Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Mark Viduka seem likely options.
Defenders
Bale - Bid for him in the summer, he would preferably move to M U F C then Tottenham. I don’t see it happening in the summer, more than likely in the winter window though.
There haven’t been many defenders linked with United of late for the pure fact we do not need defenders at the moment, we have many outstanding defenders and with O’shea and Wes Brown coming out and saying they’d like to end their careers at Old Trafford, the impending return of Simpson, Pique and Evans next season, we seemingly have too many defenders…

You have interesting opinions which might be very right, but there are options you pick to comment which might even not be mentioned. And according to Soccerlens (respectively) Nani still hasn’t signed the contract, since the signing hasn’t been confirmed by Sporting Lisbon’s homepage (if I reckon right).
Theese options are not even considered if you ask me:
Nolan, he’s been under-par this year, definetlely not going to happen! Maybe he’s doing the well-known invisible-work which Keane and Makelele are/were known for, but still!
When it comes to Barton, no-go, he’s also been under-par compared to his former potential, and the potential is shrinking! He’s not a good shooter neither a good passer, although he has many abilities which you can compare with Hargreaves, the thing is Hargreaves is older and less prone to get cards, but Barton would be a good player to buy if we didn’t get Hargreaves, even though it looks like Hargreaves will arrive. Don’t need Barton, it will be over-crowded in the midfield if we buy him, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, O’Shea (can also be used), and if Hargreaves arrive, it will not happen!
Sneijder, definetily not coming, as you mentioned, and there’s no doubt Gattuso won’t arrive at Old Trafford either. Malouda might possibly arrive at Old Trafford, but as you said he wouldn’t fit inn, and Park has many of the same qualities. Ribery is also an option though, although it seems less likely, since Marseille qualified for CL (if I’m not wrong) and if he leaves it will be a bidding-war, a bidding-war United won’t win!
When it comes to Nani, he probably won’t come, although I hope he’ll arrive this season, it’s not likely! Not because he’s afraid sitting on the bench, but because the fee might be too high for Utd to pay for Nani.
Huntelaar will probably arrive at United in a couple of weeks, at least I think that, and Torres is not an option, neither is Eto’o (too expensive) or Villa (we don’t want him!).
Tevez is leaving West Ham, and it might be for Liverpool, I don’t think Chelsea will buy him, and Arsenal is also interested, there are posibillities that he will remain in England, even for West Ham. United will only buy one striker this summer (I repeat buy), that’s if Smith and Saha is staying put!
If Owen does stay in Newcastle it’s not because he wouldn’t move to United, it’s rather because Ferguson questions his abilities and his ability to stay fit! Berbatov is not coming, as we all know!
Viduka might come, but that’s only if Smith or Saha or both gets sold.
Gareth Bale might come, but that’s not likely, because Heinze will probably stay (I think Ferguson will wait one season before buying Bale, to let him mature a bit).
Final conclusion: Heargreaves has big odds on arriving at Old Trafford, I also think there’s a huge chance Huntelaar will arrive, since Torres is so “committed” to Atletico Madrid, and he’s played poorly lately (his potential is also shrinking). The last and third transfer might be Viduka, it might be Nani and it might be Bale. And who knows, Viduka, Nani or Bale might be the fourth signing, considering Viduka will be a free-transfer! Ribery might also be the third or fourth signing, although it’s less likely!
Nani for 2008? LOL. By then his transfer value would probably be double or he will have been snapped up another club. You think he is soo desperate to play at Old Trafford that he will wait until 2008 for us to sign him? LOL.
Interesting article…
HARGREAVES guaranteed.
HUNTELAAR is quite possible I think.
BALE is possible depending on Tottenham. *SAF wants him as a winger to replace Giggs, not a left-back!!!!
=money spent
alternative…
HARGREAVES guaranteed.
NANI exspensive but could be worth it and Ronaldo/Giggs understudy.
VIDUKA cheap as money has gone on other two.
Let’s see!
OUT (After looking into my crystal ball):
SILVESTRE OUT (£3.5m mark) if BALE in (BALE could double-up as left back/left winger and be on bench for a year or two whilst training to replace Giggs.) Destination France (Lyon - Houllier likes him). Could be useful to continue intergration of EVRA though.
SAHA (£4.5m) out if HUNTELAAR or someone young comes in. Destination France or Italy.
RICHARDSON 50/50 out if winger like NANI in. If he is up for the fight he may convice SAF to keep him out of shop window, + low contract, Fergie might let him have a go. Seems to like to give players a chance to fight if they want to prove themselves. good for team ethic. Premiership club.
If two or three come in the some heads need to role as wage bill will be too big.
ps - Foster, Rossi and Pique back to challenge too.
Yo, guys. United bought Hargreaves today for 17£mill. Huntelaar comes to us in June and Bale comes in some weeks. We ar also going to buy Gamst Pedersen from Rovers. Saha, Silvestre, Kieran Richardson: c ya
They have agreed a fee for Hargreaves. Around £16m (Kieser said when asked if 25m euros - somewhere round there. Assume as its somewhere round its a little less, otherwise would say more). However, Hargreaves has not (public awarness anyway) signed. So it’s 99% but don’t forget Ronaldinho situation few years ago!
Martin Ferguson is apparantely assessing Huntelaar.
Gamst can lie down. Not good enough for United.
Saha, too injury prone, silvestre lack coordination, richardson cant take the ball round players, but is good. Good servants but need to move on.
Rossi off too. Not enough upper body strength to balance in the tackle. Suited to Spain or Italy. If Huntelaar comes he is further down pecking order too so probably will want to leave. Been on loan for ages. Must want to be playing.
Don’t think Smith will be off. Too many players and fans like him. Plus good for bench, replacement for the baby faced assassin!
Rossi will stay, more than likely. His stature isn’t that much of an issue provided he is quick enough to avoid challenges. Ask Zola.
Rossi is certainly quick enough to avoid challenges. He has an excellent dribble on him and increasingly good balance. I pray that Silvestre gets booted… He’s the 12th man for the opposition team!! lol
Additionally, if we get Nani AND Bale, then Richardson would be off. But to be honest, it was somewhat useful to have him around at LB given Heinze’s & Evra’s injuries! Personally, I don’t rate him. He’s immature and has a long way to go to be a genuine United player (on the bench to begin with!!)
Gamst doesn’t quite have the ‘x’ factor that would fit into United’s 1st XI. He’d be a useful substitute though.
I would have never even thought of Viduka! That would be a rather interesting buy… Hmm..
It’s just been confirmed on Skysports that OH is on his way to OT.
I think if United don’t get a young hotshot like Afonso Alves or Huntelaar they will probably get someone like Eidur Gudjohnson.
One thing has been left out in this debate…that SAF has said, we’re looking for speed. I don’t know if he meant Hargreaves (who’s pretty quick), or if he meant for the attack. I assume he meant for the attack, since that’s usually where speed is most needed (although speed for a DM is a very good quality).
My opinion is that we’re looking for a quick left winger, but I don’t see it being Nani. Nani has said himself, he’d love to play for United, but I consider it more of a “come-and-get-me” plea from a player who hasn’t been contacted by us. Maybe the brazilian from Porto (Anderson) is an option, since he’s only 19 and could be Giggsy’s understudy next season…plus he’s very quick and left footed.
For strikers…please stop talking about Viduka. For me accepting a player like him can only happen, if you refuse to see transfers as failures…that you prepare to accept the transfer, if it happens. The guy is old, slow and doesn’t fit into our style of play. I consider Huntelaar the most likely target for us, and he’d be an excellent addition to the squad, since he is a cynical finisher, which any squad needs (Ole the only one left - not adequate imo).
i agree about Viduka, he is not great. But United do not however have enough wingers. A left winger is prioity after Hargreaves in my book and may cost a lot. If it does, when you add that to the acquisition of Hargeaves they probably wont have enough to buy a world class forward in the £25+ bracket. Therefor it might be sensible to wait for that one next year rather then spend the little bit of money left on buying someone who is decent like gudjohnsen.
Don’t forget that intergrating 3 players at the moment might mix up the team dynamics a bit too much too quickly too.
Although Huntelaar could be possible if he is not too expensive, but how much nobody knows.
Ideal for me:
Huntelaar
Bale/Nani
+Hargreaves who is on his way!!!
So what about Anelka, experienced enough cheapish for a striker and well balanced player. Type Sir Alex likes why not him
He is talented but.
He is a bad dressing room character. He is lazy. He plays deep and we have rooney. + is he a step up from Saha? really?
Should either get someone really good or Viduka for free, then next season spend huge. The rest could go on a quality winger.
Imagine influence Anelka would have on the suseptable ronaldo.
by the way apparantely torres was furious with his team mates after athletico got hammered by barcelona 5-0. If he has enough his price may come down bringing him into the equation. He has also had a poor season by his standards.
Yes, I’m sure that Mark Viduka is coming to United. Particularly after how well things worked out with Mark Bosnich…
If Viduka comes to United, it’ll be the lamest signing ever imo.
I’d like to see the Hargo-deal closed before moving on to other targets, but as I wrote earlier a really quick attacking player must be on the shopping list…be it Nani (unlikely), Torres (unlikely), Anderson (no idea), Afonso Alves (no work permit problem).
i think viduka would be nice and cheap and a great addition to the squad,allowing s.a.f to spend the bigger money on hargreaves who i think is over rated ,and gudjonson who s.a.f has always admired.
joey barton would be cheap but after all the stick we the fans give him would he come ?
Come on guys…
We don’t need the Vidukas and the Bartons out there…we need a few players to strengthen the first 15, not the first 25.
A personal note on Barton. He’s been compared to Cantona in terms of personality (maybe not in this debate, but in others). I think Barton has issues way beyond that of an unsettled youngster…he’s a maniac, and his family’s jail record doesn’t exactly speak in his favour. We don’t want that psycho in our club.
And we don’t want players on a free transfer, because their contracts have run out…there might be a reason why they didn’t get an extension.
viduka may be slower but he is a really smart player who has the ability to hold up the ball.. has a decent shot too
do you people thing that a strike force of rooney rossi viduka and Huntelaar could rival the strike force of 99? (cole yorke ole, sherringham)
i think so
Never mind being Roy Keane, Joey should come play for him
Personally I dont think Fergie will land Nani, Anderson, Alves or any of the forign players. If you look at previous trends since AIG took over, most of the signings have been English. Plus, it was AIG’s aim when they first started sponsoring Man U that they wanted ‘mainly’ British talent, which I think is a good thing.

Sorry, meant to say will NOT in that last comment, not will.
Wait, no I didnt. Just forget it.
What about Ribery? He’s a possibility isn’t he? He might want to play for a team that could feasibily win the Champions League rather than make up the numbers like Marseille.
In fear of being beheaded before I make my point, I’d like to say that I have appreciated what Gabby has done for the club, and his work ethic etc…
Now; Gabriel Heinze should be allowed to leave. He does not have the pace or attacking knowhow to perform for United in the Premiership. He’s a liability at the back, causing freekicks and dangerous situations by making poor decisions. In the games against Milan, he was simply not good enough, and the first half in the cup final against Chelsea proved the same point. He’s tenacious alright, but that doesn’t cut it. He goes down himself quite easily, and would be a world class performer in less tempofilled leages like the Italian Serie A or Spanish Primera Division. We should opt for Evra, and use players like Silvestre or O’Shea as backup. Maybe even add a Gareth Bale into the mix. The cash from the Heinze transfer could be used for more important positions/players.
Owen Hargreaves is coming. The deal is about 17-18m, and it seems to be a Carrick-type of deal. OK, I’d be happy with that, get the matter settled as soon as possible. He’s english, used to high profile matches both internationally and in the Champions League. One of the best performers for England in the World Cup, and a great addition to any team. We should all be happy. Carrick is a different type of player; Hargreaves IS the natural predecessor to Keano.
Now, this Nani business should stop. How many of you guys have actually seen Nani play enough to convince you that he is the right player for us? I’ve seen a few matches, and I’m far from convinced. Pacey, technically gifted and acrobatic(!), but he’s not even near the same class as Cristiano Ronaldo, and probably never will be. If we get him, I hope it’s through a bargain. Paying anything more than 8m would be an insult. We payed 12m for Ronaldo, remember that?
A player we def. should be looking at, is Anderson at Porto. He’s proved himself at an international level, playing for Brazil, and has had an amazing season when he returned from his injury. He’s gone the ranks in Gremio (same club as Ronaldinho) and has more pace, skill, temperament and tactical skill than Nani. He would probably be cheaper as well… (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA1IHwOJScw) All the other clubs are considering a player like Ricardo Quaresma (which is good, but expensive), but the real gem here is Anderson.
Fernando Torres would be a fantastic signing, but I for one question his preferences in joining United. He’s a Liverpool fan, noone can question that; http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007180812,00.html Quick, powerful, skilled and a good header of the ball. He would be awesome at United. But I honestly don’t think it will happen.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar is class. A real predator inside the box, very similar to Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Young, smart and able to finish with both feet and head. Not the quickest or most skillful player, but with an exceptional eye for goal. His goals to game ratio is fantastic, and would probably score at least 20 goals a season for United. The question is if this would hamper United other scoring players. United have a specific playing style, which demands a lot of movement from the front players. Is he up for the challenge? For 12m, I’d say he’s def. worth the gamble.
We all know that Berbatov stays at Spurs, but what about Defoe? Sir Alex was keen on his services a few years back.. why not now? Not getting his chances at Tottenham, he would probably be out ot prove a point in the Premiership. International experience though England, and used to the tempo and style of the english Premiership. Plenty of pace and skill, and a fantastic shot to boot. Could prove a decent bit of business, with a manager like Sir Alex to guide him.
Eto’o is our of our price range, end of story. Besides, does he have the right personality? Constantly stirring up trouble within Barca’s ranks.
Same thing with Barton. Troublemaker not worth the trouble.
Viduka is proven, but slow and old. Does not fit in with United’s game, and does not have the footballing brain like Henrik Larsson.
Sell Heinze, and buy Owen Hargreaves, Anderson and Huntelaar. Bring back Pique and Rossi, and give Eagles a few more chances. Come January, make an attempt for Micah Richards, and we’ll be set.
I think the left winger should be the priority this season, but Nani, i think, is not good enough to be signed by Man U.I would prefer them to save some money because Richardson could play there or even Evra if required.keep Ricardo Quaresma(Porto)as an interesting choice.
In defense, i think should let go Silvestre, he´s not getting any games and aparently is not required for Ferguson, and give chances to young players lique Pique whi had a great season in Zaragoza.
In midfield, Barton is my first choice, a young player, capable of handle different positions in midfield, cheap, great passing, excellent choice.
As a striker i love the idea of having Klas Jaan Huntelaar in the team, they only need someone that is in the tight place at the right momment and that is not afraid to mark when required, he is perfect for Man U.
Agreed, except for one point. Heinze, unless we get Bale.
Man U can forget about Huntelaar if they keep bidding in the regions they’re bidding now. Ajax won’t let him go for less then 22 mil. and 12 mil isn’t nearly close enough to price him away. So Man U could buy him, but the bid will have to go up, else they can forget about “The Hunter”
Rafael, Silvestre hasnt been playing because of injuries - make no mistakes had he been fit he wouldve featured against Milan. Although i do agree with Pique’s return he will be pushed back another spot in the pecking order. Still, will his transfer value (2mil?) really be worth losing the defensive cover?
Would people stop the Barton talk please…he’s not coming, and we don’t want him. We’re buying Hargreaves for midfield, and that’s more than enough. We don’t want a second rate psycho. If a big club like Man U. signed a guy like Barton, it would only be to prove he can be adjusted. There are so many better players out there, and you mustn’t confuse psycho-like personality for aggressiveness and heart.
Now that Hargo is almost certainly coming, we should focus on exactly what SAF has said - speed for the attacking game. Naturally a left winger must be first option, since we have a little speed on the right…:-).
“The Hunter” That guy is sensational, this can be the next Ruud, with midfielders i’d like to see nani at Manyoo. since he said he’d love to follow C.ronaldo’s steps.. in defence. gareth bale..
GARETH BALE and HUNTELAAR/TORRES
Same old… Torres-well yeah, Sun sold him to every club a dozen times, yet it seems…Yes, that’s right, he’s still at Atletico! Haven’t you learned anything? Every summer it’s the same thing with Torres, and I see no reason why should it be different this year. And Huntelaar… On one hand you have a guy who scores 30+ goals a season in Holland. The same was with Kežman and Kuyt(a really crappy player). On the other hand you have guys who consistently score 15-20 goals in the EPL, guys like Defoe or Darren Bent. So, it’s pretty much clear who is proven here, although I must admit I prefer Viduka. He is a wonderful player with genuine talent, very experienced(but not old-he’s 31), he’s got the physical frame United need in attack, and-he is FREE! This would leave enough money to buy Nani, or, even better, Aaron Lennon(please God, this kid is an alien!).
I think the problem with signing Barton, who is an outstanding footballer, besides him being a lunatic, is that UNited already have enough players in the squard you get nervous about them being sent off. Smith, Heinze, Rooney, Scholes all play the game very passionately and have all lost their heads at some point in the past.
The one thing United arent short of is experience. I dont hold Lennon in a high regard becuase his crossing is poor and he is easily bullied out of games. Nani looks promising and may be worth a gamble if the price is right. Huntelaar I am a big fan of as well as Sneijder, both of which i would be delighted to see at Old Trafford. Viduka has always been a good player, but renowned for his poor attitude and commitment. I think Bale would only be signed to prevent other clubs signing him, with so much defensive talent in the side, it is not an area that needs addressing. Hargreaves im pleased about but they are paying way over the odds for him. Ribery would be great but unlikely.
I reckon, as well as Hargreaves, Huntelaar and Nani. Although i would love to see Sneijder as well.
I say forget Viduka on the whole. United right needs some young, talented (very good instead of talented may be a better thing) and long lasting players. We already have quite a few old players and that is what we don’t need. It’s good to keep veterans yes, but only if they can keep up with the pace seeing that they are old. Solkjaer to me should stay with united but shouldn’t be dependant to do anything really besides play against weak teams in the FA and carling cup, his time has passed and he served us well and we thank him for that. Giggs and Scholes both help the team out alot alot due to their ability and experience and should definetly keep on playing as long as they could but they will have to know when it’s time to have a seat on that bench when their “greatness” has come to an end. Gary Neville is our captain, right back, most experienced and strongest defender (under Rio lol), we need him for as long as we could keep him until United could get another RB to replace him.
Sell Saha for a reasonable price I say. Forget Viduka and Gamst, we don’t need them. We really need to get Hunteeloar and Nani. Bale could wait another season but the price may double or his current team won’t let him go so it’s basically now or never.
United need the new players, the next season depends on what they do in the transfer window. Get young players. That’s all.
Dont forget we are getting defender Jonny Evans and winger Danny Simpson back from loan next season, both exiting young prospects.
Viduka bring him in he has played so well lately for middlesbrough
Isn’t Danny Simpson a right full back?
We won’t get Viduka so stop wishing for it…SAF has more brains than signing him.
Fergie doesn’t want a total change team in the summer so i think he’s just gunna replace a few people and Hargreaves.
What he needs to do is:
1. Find replacment for Giggs
(He has said that Ryan is going to go on for a couple years so i think buying an exspensive player like Nani isn’t going to happen. He’s going to find the replacment internally, probably Lee Martin woh has impressed at both rangers and stockport when out on loan. As for Pederson, well i think he’s 27 now, which is just too old.
Obviously Richardson will be sold as he is not the new ryan giggs. off to West Brom if they make to the PL)
2. Strenghten midfeild.
(Hardgreaves)
3. Find more reliabe striker
(This is were things get interesting, the summers going to be a wash with forwards. The line up looks like this:
Huntelaar: A good bet seems to tick all the boxes aswell as being valued at £12m, a move would be good for all invovled.
Viduka: After all the things he’s done to united, i dont think the fans would accept him, plus he’s too old
Owen: Injures rule him out, plus it seems he is willing to see what Big sam has planned for Newcastle.
Eto’o: Only linked with a move because of bust up with Ronaldino and manager, that seems to have resolved itself so he’ll will stay at the Nou camp.
Torres: Would be the perfect person we are looking for. But he believes that he can chnage Athelico’s fortunes around. Will stay at that poor club, shame.
Villa: My personal favourite, all the quality’s a Ruud but with pace thrown in. Has commented on how he like united’s style. The best option other that Huntelaar, though expensive (20-30m)
That means Saha out, to spain most likely. The striker race will be between Huntelaar and Villa. Huntelaar will win if there’s any interest from liverpool for Villa and if the glazers dont want to break the bank on him .)
4. Tie up lose ends in defence,
(With Pique vastly improved he’ll definatley replace Silvestre who will go to Monaco or Lyon. Also i think Henize will stay put, but if he keeps making mistakes he will be off in january.)
So, with Owen Hargreaves seemingly signed, seeled and delivered this week, we can all cancel out any other substanstial central midfield targets, meaning the Kevin Nolan’s, the Barton’s, the Sneider’s and the more obscure central/attacking midfielders that have been linked with United, i.e Kerlon, Diop Gattuso…You get the picture, so, this leaves Manchester United to find the following positions…..
1 Winger
1 Striker
and 1 Defender depending on whether anyone moves, I.E (Silvestre, poss to monaco or lyon) and Heinze.
1 Winger =
Nani - It’s been touted about for a while, just signed a new contract and has a £17.5 million buy out clause, still young so could happen sometime soon.
Jesus Navas of Sevilla, great footballer, has pace, good passer of the ball but prefurrs to play on the right wing. Linked with Arsenal alot though…
Quaresma, if this was to happen, it would have happened when he left FC Barcelona a couple of seasons back, I don’t see this happening atall myself.
Florent Malouda may well come after handing in a transfer request.
I would personally like to see either Mancini of AS Roma or Cicinho of Real Madrid who is reportedly unhappy.
Defenders, Bale…Or…Ben Haim anyone :P?
Strikers…
Eto’o…NO
Huuntelar yes please
Owen, fitness worries.
Alfonso Alves…Perhaps.
I see one more high profile signing, hopefully Huuntelar and a cloak and dagger signing as like the way SAF signed Larsson.
what about Emerson for midfield and Claudio Pizarro(his contract expires this season, this will leave some extra cash for another expensive player and he has also prooved to be an excelent striker)?
any comments?
MANCHESTER UNITED 2007 SUMMER TRANSFER SPECULATION
STRIKERS:
departures:SAHA should possibly go to spain(or italy).
:ROSSI too should leave and develop his tecniques and goal scoring abilities in italy(not parma but some big club maybe inter or ac milan).
arrival:KLASS is just perfect and should come.
:TORRES would be better,but atletico not willing to leave him maybe after couple of seasons.
:VIDUKA NO.(after couple of seasons) :ETO too expensive.
:D.BENT or DEFORE can be a perfect finishers. :BERBATOV a “MASTERO”(but spurs not willing to give)
MIDFIELD:
departures:EAGLES to shefield(on loan)
:RICHARDSON to play in epl.(not spain or italy as it dose’nt suit his style)
arrival:RIBERY or NANI sould be a done deal{perfect replacers for giggs}
:HARGREAVES finaly.
:GAMST only if MANU fail to bring RIBERY or NANI. :BARTON “forget it”
DEFENDERS:actually no need of defenders.
arrival:BALE should come.(to play in fa’s and league cup)
departures:HEINZE should not leave.
:MIKEAL to spurs.
ferguson’s top 3 targets if they are going for treble OR quadruple and will really challenge “CHELSEA” and some top european clubs.
:HARGREAVES(DONE)
:RIBERY OR NANI OR GAMST
:KLASS OR D.BENT
And Pizarro…Hmmm, interesting but Pizarro has stated he sees his future in Spain, so I don’t think so.
Here’s what I think should happen (and what shouldn’t happen). I consider Hargreaves a done deal.
Do’s:
Get a left winger - I have no idea about who, because the ones I want are probably too expensive (Silva from Valencia first choice). There are alot of prospects and alot of speculation.
Nani has been mentioned over and over again, but I really don’t see us signing him.
Get a striker - I love the idea of Huntelaar, because he’s the best finisher of his generation, but I’m afraid he wouldn’t fit our style of play. He’s a finisher and not more than that. He’s not a great link-up player, which is what we need and he doesn’t have lightning pace, which we are looking for.
Torres won’t happen. He can’t release himself from his ties to AM despite the team not improving at all.
Afonso Alves is an interesting player, I’d say. From what I’ve seen of him, he’s very fast and a good finisher…plus he takes free kicks well (to force Ronaldo away from that job).
Eto’o naturally won’t happen, since he’s not leaving Barca.
Who else - I have no idea. But the one we bring in (if any) should have real quality because remember the exiting return of Rossi, whom I personally look forward to seing in action.
If we chose to sell either Heinze (I hope not) or Silvestre (I hope), there could be room to add Bale, but I think that if we do, we should loan him out for next season.
Don’t’s:
We don’t need a central defender, and I think Ben Haim is only mentioned, because Chelsea were after him in January…he’s not a world class defender, and it was only panic that drove Chelsea his way. Plus we have plenty of central defenders and more coming back from loan (Pique, Evans).
We don’t need to spend money on a goal kepper, because we’re all set in that department.
No more midfielders please. With Hargo we have 4 central midfielders (Carrick, Scholes, Hargo and Fletcher) and some back-up in emergency (O’Shea, Giggs (who’s likely to play as a midfielder behind the striker even more next season)).
We don’t want to sign some second rate striker just because his free - he’d still demand a decent pay-check and why not just save the money when we don’t need him (did anyone say Viduka).
Lastly we don’t need to change the team too much. The team is developing really well, and with only 2 or 3 additions it could be devastating next season. Hargo adds the grit to the midfield, then we just need to add a little speed to the attack.
Please end the hargreaves speculation…..its a done deal…
what we need is a RELIABLE striker and a winger….left footed ofcourse……
Huntelaar is genuine talent,but is he reliable?????he’s young and still maturing…….
i would rather like to see defoe or berbatov in our lineup….defoe is a talent that is being wasted at spurs….
about bale….i dont see him coming and i really like evra….he’s got the speed and tenacity and should be utilized well …..heinze will stay put probably but he makes so many mistakes!!!!
and really NANI is awesom……imagine ronaldo and nani on the flanks…….sends shivers up my spine….ribery will be gud too……..
PS:can u people please add some links to ur predictions….mine come from soccerlens and other such sites…
bale is on his way 2 spurs…
huntelaar is prolific, i want fergie 2 get him, no matter wat it takes… 2 seasons, and domestically hit 35+!!!!
quite unbelievable in my opinion…… and dutch players, going on past history don’t have trouble settling into england, e.g - bergkamp, van nistelrooy etc.
i do believe heinze, silvestre & saha will be sold.
as a left winger - we obviously want some1 who can make summat happen with a quick explosion of pace and trickery - does frank ribery not fit that descripition?? [still only a baby as well - him and ronaldo can grow together at united, and ferguson wants a manchester united that will be united for a loong time]…Regardless of marseille qualifying for UCL, ribery has recently been quoted claiming he wud like 2 sign for united, barca oooor milan - both the latter havent expressed any interest in him?!
Ferguson cud opt for a winger out of a different mould, more of a beckham mould…a player with a foot blessed with magic. Morten Gamst Pedersen has a great shot, free kick, cross…. a great athlete and has the knack of scoring - ppl say he’s not good enough but if fergie gets him, its becuz he can mature to be good enough - and recently ferguson’s judgement has been impeccable - especially wiv the entire henrik larsson saga![wat a lejj!]
So only the 3 transfers for me:
Huntelaar
Ribery
Hargreaves
OUT:
Silvestre
Heinze
Saha
BALE signs for spurs! dun u guys noticed that Fergie has this habit of letting his tracked players sign for Spurs and then after a good season or two, will offer enormous fees to sign them when he shud have signed them in the very first place! look at carrick, berbatov at spurs! then how about ferdinand from leeds? quite a nutter rite? or is there a conspiracy? say ur points guys!
YUP, PEDERSEN AND NOLAN SHUD BE SIGNED! HOW ABOUT BENFICA’S FERNANDES?
Klass is pure class! and nakamura!
Kienu - completely agree with you about letting spurs sign players then paying mega money a year later - but Pederson, Nolan, Fernandes and Nakamura, we are CHAMPIONS time to THINK BIG …. that looks like a UEFA cup line up, when in the same breath we could go for Quaresmo/Nani, Hargreaves (done), Huntelaar.
And don;t forget that KAKA “belongs to jesus”, maybe he’ll want to come to the Cathedral of Old Trafford and play for SIR GOD.(if only!!!!)
i thing for the transfers gona be little players ,but smart players.for attack:owen,torres.midfielders:hargreaves(already sure)and quaresma .he gona be cristiano ronaldo in a few years.defenders:micah richards,why not dawson from tottenham.one compliment for owen .he is the best attacker in world.that’s who isn’t in form it’s just the injury…
I really don’t understand why Fergie let Spurs to sign Bale. He doesn’t need him right now, but he should have done what Chelski do-get him so others don’t. A huge mistake. The kid has Man U legend written all over him, and he was available for a reasonable price. Had he signed for us, in a few years everyone would forget that he ever played for any other team. Now Fergie will have to do another Carrick in 3-4 years. And you would think that he learned it by now-you must cut the fucking middle man out, or in this case, the middle team.
Bale is a quack we don’t need him , EVRA is the real deal!!!! anyway bale just 18, the last time we did this was carrick, waiting till he was 25 that 7 years i dont think that Sir Alex is going to be the the job that long enough
P.S Villa, Villa
As a SCP fan, I am disapointed that someguys (Matthew N. Gravis) still looks to Portugal or the portuguese teams as a beggar. NANI is not good enough for you, we knows how to play football. So please forget any SCP player… otherwise just pay the fair fee.
no , no .and no.dont talk for the old player .old player now we need just for attack.like adriano .inter says i dont need him .and adriano says i like one good price and i go.i thing manchester gona give one good price for adriano.but in midfield and defend we dont need old players .like micah richard how dwfwnder and quaresma how midfielder.
Huntelaar is a good payer but not good enough for MAnchester Untd AFonso Alves is the best player in the Dutch Eredivisie. Thats is a player with many spacialitys. He is fast, good freekicks,good penalty’s, Agood shot and verrie strong at the ball. He is this season the best scoring player of the world.
Yous Faitfully
Bas Haak
Ter Apel
Netherlands
no ,this is disaster .heinze gona leave old trafford.i herd that now in news.hes the best left defender in world.but he does a mistakes sometimes .i hope he gona not leave old trafford
It will be great to see Hargreaves arrive (real engine room player). Thought we got caught short in our engine room this season. There were too many times we ended up with 5 in midfield to compensate…… Would also like to see Ribery….
Also cannot understand why we didn’t try for Woodgate. I know we are not too bad at the back but surely Madrid owe us one at this stage……
As regards a striker is Berbatov the guy you want aginst Blackburn after 70 mins and it still 0-0 on a dark rainy day…. Not so Sure (he did nothing until the new year)…. Anyhow United never rely on strikers we let our midfielders do the scoring compared to other clubs..
i think UTD shud sign these players:
1) Hargreaves…VERY underated, who is better then him in the holding position? Gattuso and makalele…think of any other? i couldnt…i think he’s worth 17m given the amount of money chelsea paid for essien…(27m)
2) Torres/huntelaar/ibrahimovic(if possible)…3 great top quality strikers…we just need that extra quality up front to challenge in europe more…gives us that cutting edge
3) nani…giggs is getting old cant see many good left wingers and this guys like ronaldo so you cant go wrong…imagine two ronaldo’s in the same team…we made a big mistake in not signing ronaldinho…shudnt let him slip away
4) Dani Alves…neville is getting old too hes only gonna last a season or two. Buy alves and make ferdinand or rooney captain.
If man utd sign these players they will be the best team in the world pound for pound…world class player in EVERY position but it won’t spoil the team like real because they aint SUPERSTARS as in you dont see nani, alves, ibrahimovic in many adverts unlike rooney/ronaldo…so the team will have good chemistry and a few big ego’s but every team needs that…just look at cantona’s ego.
:P
May i be the first to announce the signings of both Anderson Abreu and Nani.
I apologize to sir Sir Alex about my previous comment, screw Bale when we’ve got Nani and Anderson! Yeah baby!!!
Anderson hhhhmmmm that sounds oddly like Kelberson, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 17mill down the pan gr8
Not at all same type of player as Kleberson, and I doubt Kleberson has ever been crowned best player at a u-17 WC. I think he’s a massive talent. Nani I’m more concerned about, but I trust SAF to know what he’s buying.
And I think the price for Anderson was £12 mil and not £17 mil. £15 mil for Nani.
All of a sudden Fergie’s decision to let Spurs snap up Bale seems like a well thought out chess move. Sacrifice one player who’d have been competing for a left back spot with Evra, Heinze, Silvestre and even Richardson (not to mention the £10m fee) in order to snap up two of the hottest prospects in Europe. A magical coup by Fergie. Mourinho will have to go some way to top that double deal methinks
Nani is a good player, but will never be as Cristiano Ronaldo.
About Anderson, i have to say, as a Benfica fan: tanks MU for signing him. He is a fantastic player, the best of FC Porto, and much better than Nani.
Iam a die-heart of Manchester United. I am Gambian by birth and have been supporting MAN UNITED for the past 20 years i.e. since I was going to primary school. I do not take dinner any day Man United losses a march, therefore I would like to see the team improves on its midfield, goalkeeping, and two more classic strikers. We lost the FA cup to Chelsea because their goalkeeper Peter C. was a better goalkeeper for that match. We also need one more central defender who will be very aggressive and steady. I am a MAN UNITED supported for life, and would like to get information about the club at all times. I have already formed a young football club in our community and named it the young MAN UNITED FC. Thanhs.
in terms of hargreaves in the midfield is great in partnership with paul schole or micheal carrick if really needed in second half anderson as been my long time out sidfe left and cristiano will play on the outside right.i think we will show them what manchester united is made of next season.peace.one love.united till infinity.
United’s eleven won them the premiership, and the rest of there squad lost them the Champions legue and F.A Cup. When push came to shove, who was able to fill ion when Ronaldo or Giggs needed a rest? Ricahrdson, Park, not up to teh job. In Richardsons case not even close. Eagles in one for the future but cannot be relied apon for the upcoming season, even seasons.
Nani-would be a great signing. Still got a lot to prove, but we need someone special on the bench, someone who is a longterm replacement for Giggs, and he looks likely to come.
Anderson- genuine potential and Quality there, and neccessary, because when we lost Scholes, who was there?
he is a soloution for now and for teh future. SIGN HIM!
Hargreaves- Definitely a great signing but well end up paying too much, why we’re splashing out 35+ M on him and Carrick, i don’t know, but if you’ve got teh money, you might aswell use it, even if it is in ridiculously arge quantities. Hope he lives up to expectations,may take a while to adjust to English game, after playing in dopey German league.
Striker- Eto, Torres, Villa e.t.c not coming. After spending what we have, we need a bargain, even someone slighly older. Anelka? Viduka? Not idewal, but a quick fix soloution. Rooney can’t be expected to play as front man, or off teh likes of Saha, Smith and Solskjear, but the latter tw should stay as cover. But in an ideal world that Dutch dude would be great, but can we afford him after what we’ve already payed? Hopefully cos he look immense.
At the back, GK is no problem, but Foster should be first choise, At the back, keep heinze, break back in gently against the like of Fulham, Derby, e.t.c, the lads got quality, but was injuer for ages and got thrown into the deepend and has suffered as a result. Evra Vidic Ferdinand and Gneve look likes a solid back for with good cover, but we could do with a right back. Bale is gone, maybe look at R

Shopping List:
Nani
Anderson
Hargreaves
opefully…
Huntlaar or Anelka
Richards/Young
Out:
Richardson, Eagles Pique would all benefit from loans, as would Rossi but if we fail to sign nother striker tehm we need him. I think Park and Saha should be givven the old heave ho, and they could generate a good income
Dream wishlist:
Eto, Torres Villa, all been linke dbut cant see it being affordable
gattatuso, aint gonna happen
Ivan Helguera, too old and expensive
We’ll just hyave to wait and see….
The unlikelies who ahve been linked:
Richards, Young? Helguera?
Would not say no to Eto, Villa, Torres, but aint gonna happen.
the latest is Anelka!
Sign him! the new Cantona! hahahaha!
eh? why would we sign gattuso when we’re going to get hargreaves?
Defence and midfield is fine- we just need one striker. I’m actually quite hopeful we’ll get someone good. Consensus is that utd have spent all their budget already- but i dont believe thats the case. The whole of last season’s budget was carried over (overall profit was made in the transfers) which is estimated at around 25-30M. This season’s transfer budget was estimated at ~50M (boosted by the new TV deal) and there’s (allegedly) also another 25M set aside for a top drawer player should they because available.
No doubt a striker will be coming in the window because the squad needs strengthening in that area, but it will almost certainly have to be a top quality striker because we’ve got more than enough backups.
Let’s go through the strikers:
Berbatov - staying at Tottenham.
Torres - very likely chance of joining Manchester United.
Villa - possible but Chelsea will probably buy him.
Huntelaar - extremely likely. A fantastic player.
Nugent - 50/50. I think we need some fresh talent on the team. That would be a brilliant buy.
Most likely two: Huntelaar and Torres.
Now the midfielders:
Hargreaves - definitely moving the Manchester United.
Ribery - maybe, but he’s just a luxury - not really needed.
Nani - again, a luxury. Not necessary. Probably won’t happen.
Gattuso - Fergie’s been chasing him for ages now and he’s a great player but i think Fergie’s lost interest a bit now. Gattuso’s getting a little old and happy and Milan. Unlikely.
Joey Barton - very possible. A cheap, decent player. He’s got it all - speed, great vision, pin-point passing, long-range screamers and classy close control. If I were Fergie I would buy him. But we’ll see.
Most likely two - Hargreaves and Barton
Lastly defenders:
Bale - Almost certain! Fergie wants him but Tottenham do as well. I’m not worried. He’d rather come to us than Tottenham. He’s such a talented young player.
Curtis Davies - perhaps, but I reckon he’s planning to stay at West Brom. I would love to see it happen though.
Micah Richards - a rising talent. He’s the prem’s best powerhouse. I think Fergie should most definitely buy him, although I’m not sure he will because Chelsea want to sign him as well.
Most likely: Gareth bale.
Four most likely overall: Gareth Bale, Owen Hargreaves, Fernando Torres, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
This is my perfect line up for next season:
G Neville Nemanja Vidic Curtis Davies Gareth Bale
Ribery Scholes Hargreaves Giggs
Torres Rooney
Subs bench: Micah Richards, Pique, Barton, Carrick, Nani, Nugent, Huntelaar.
anelka!
With Hargreaves at Utd the midfield will be superb.
Other preffered signings would be Anderson(the guy has a future!),personally would have liked to see Berbatov at Old Trafford.
Anelka not a bad choice if no other alternative(He has the experience).
Fergie should look for one more defender to partner Neville,Vidic and Ferdi but Evra should impress next season.
Silvestre should leave.Consider Richardson,Saha and Heinze for loan.Kuszack should pave way for a better and more reliable goalie like Friedel.
I would also like to see either Huntelaar,Nani or Quaresma at Old Trafford
Forget about Et`oo,Torres and Viduka coz they would not impress.
IN; Hargreaves
Anderson
Berbatov
Nani
Bale
Friedel
OUT; Silvestre
Richardson
Saha
Heinze
Kuszack
could some1 tell me about nani — his build strengths weaknesses playin style
here’s my line up
nev ferd vid evra
carr harg
rona scho gig
roon / huntelaar(if we get him)
HUNTELAAR SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! You english guys only get to see the highlights of Huntelaar! There are much better players in Holland, the best player in Holland right now who made the most goals is Alfonso Alves!!!!!!!!!! Manchester United has to do better research before they start buying or considering players!!!!!
ive seen enough of royston drenthe to say hes one for the future. wouldn’t mind him at old trafford. as for up front the list just gets bigger and bigger. i would want someone with a bit of flair and one who can score. Quagliarella, berbatov, torres, david villa, tevez.. list can go on.
Jack - I think you can be assured, the club will do more than enough research on the players they consider buying…it’s the fans that look at rumours and debate from what the papers tell them. Huntelaar has been hyped in the press, and therefore the fans talk a lot about him. If we were to sign Huntelaar, I’m sure, SAF and his scouts have reason to do it.

Jack- Alfonso alves probably just had a good season, huntelaar gets in the national team and has scored alot for 2 seasons in a row, im sure alfonso alves isn’t that good, could just be another kezman, huntelaar is more like a van nistelrooy, i still don’t want him at utd tho. And Imran: Yea that guy drenthe looks quality, same for quagliarella, and drenthe puts in a great cross, and we don’t have a REALLY good crosser at utd really, nani seems to be fairly good, ronaldo never really wants to cross, and giggs doesn’t go out on the wing and cross as much anymore, he normally tries a through ball sorta thing, but I don’t think we’ll get drenthe after already buying nani and anderson. And raunaq: Just watch nani playing for portugal U21s, he wasn’t too bad last night=]
I have been watching Nani play for Portugal U21s and he did not impress me at all! He is a very weak player, he was falling more on the ground than actually playing. In the last match he got so frustrated because he could not pass Zuiverloon, Zuiverloon is just a good defender doing his job well. The dutch analists in Holland don’t like Nani either and they don’t understand why Manchester Utd payed 25 mil for him!
Although i appreciate what people are sayin about Nani’s performance last night, lets be honest. Wayne Rooney, played awful against Portugal in the WC, Scholes had a barron season a few years ago, giggs has had a fair few duff matches, and remember a certian cristiano Ronaldo when he first came? I think Fergie would not have splashed out 25M

I think Fergie would not have splashed out 25M on him if he had no potential. Not to mention, the fact that when Ronaldo arrived, he had to fill Beckhams boots. There is not that pressure on Nani, he has time which can only help.
We still do need a striker although Rossi can’t be forgotten. Please keep Heinze and Smith, tehy give football a good name, hard working,s trong, generally honest (by todays standards).
Huntelaar, Drenth, Quagliarella, berbatov, torres, david villa, tevez, even Viduka and Anelka, but ive got a nasty feeling we could end up not signing anyone. My prefernece would ahve been Berbatov and Tevez, who have proved themselves in England, as i think Aneka and Viduka would be no more good than the likes of Saha and Smith, we need youth, pace, and flair if we are to sign from abroad, so i would prefer Quagliarella.
My team
Foster
Heinze/Evra Vidic Ferdinand GNev (Needs replacing, becoming weak link and aging)
Giggs/Nani Scholes/Anderson Hargreaves/Carrick Ronaldo
Rooney Smith unless we can sign someone else.
Need a right back aswel. The midfield willb e interesting because bar C Ronaldo, the / should be interesting competion, and in some cases transition.
Sell:
Saha, if we get another foreward
Park
Richardson
Keep Pique and Eagles, both show potential. Keep tabs on Nugent..
Alright its a simple as this………..we hav hargreaves…….we will get anderson and nani!!!!!barton and viduka are gone to newcastle……there are only 2 strikers we can realisticaly get……huntelaar and tevez!! weve spent 2 much already to get torres or eto’o or villa.
we should sell smith…..keep saha…because when he is on form he is lethal…no denying it……a good deal with west ham would be smith plus 10m for tevez! as for huntelaar we could give them heinze plus 8m for him.
midfield is ok now!!
defence is fine for now….maybe at january we could get a cover for anywhere we need it…..get foster back……keep him……edwin will still start though…..
Best team to date:
v.d.sar
neville,ferdinand,vidic,evra

Daniel Alves (in January)
Ben Foster (return)
someone tell me about nani & anderson plzzzz
Manchester united management have make fantastic signing for signing the likes of Nani,Owen Hargreaves and Anderson. What I is now remaining is a striker. I think a person of Barbatov or Samuel Etoo would be a perfect signing for MANCHESTER UNITED.
Believe me, Nosa N. Osayande, they would be perfect for any team in the world.
manutd should get hargreves,nani and anderson then think about huntalar and anelka and tevez there not the inport’t but then manutd should also think about a good sub that pacefull and got good vision this is my line up next season
edwin van der sar
danile alves rio vidic evra
ronaldo anderson/owen paul/carrik nani/giggs
rooney/huntelar tevez/saha
