**Summer Transfer Thread: News, Rumours and Speculation**

Bucket said:
As has been said earlier in the thread, we now do need a striker that will bang in the goals, unfortunately this means I don't think we'll see as much of Macheda/Manucho/Welbeck this coming season, as perhaps they havn't proven they can score a shedload yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Manucho get sold sometime in the near future, whether it be in the summer or in January.

I don't think he's anywhere as good as we need him to be and I can't see him progressing that much really.

Macheda is obviously too raw and Welbeck just isn't there yet like you said.
 
Man Utd would be very wise to spend the money from the Ronaldo sale on getting proper replacements for Giggs, Scholes, Van Der Sah etc. Tevez isnt worth the amount of money his owners are asking for either.

Put all that money into properly rebuilding the squad.

Yeah, I think Manucho would be good in the championship/lower table side.
I think it's quite possible Hull might also go for him TBH.
 
I wonder if Man United will try and take Robben from Real Madrid? If I was manager of Real Madrid I would want to keep him. Robben and Ronaldo on the wings. Kaka through the middle. Thats plenty for a team to think about!

£80 million?

That could get us Benzema, Robben and Ribery. Now I'd take those three over just one player.

Benzema would probably be £40m+ and Bayern have said Ribery is only available for over £100m.

Man Utd do need to spend all £80m probably, at least 2 midfielders and a striker, possibly a good right back too (think Maicon would leave Inter, and he's immense)

Unless Rooney has a good season next season I can't see where all Man Utd's goals are coming from next season unless they buy a top striker, they struggled in quite a lot of games this season.

EDIT:- It also strikes me as being similar to many other deals, being pushed out by ungrateful fans rather than wanting to leave. EVERY player when asked if he wants to go somewhere else does the correct business thing, they say maybe in the future i'd love to, its called not closing doors and screwing yourself. What if UTD go bankrupt and stop being a football club in 3 years, he wants to go to Real, but he can't because he responded " no they suck , why would I ever want to go to Real with their stupid fans and a team that can't compete" .

By being the most successful player in the team, but not having quite as fantastic a year as last year all you've got all year is fans calling him inconsistant and saying they want to see the back of him because he's not good anymore. I'd leave after a year where fans are telling you to smeg off aswell.

UTd fans are also wetting themselves over 80million, Real are happy to pay it, £30-40mil for the player, £40mil for the brand. How much do you think Ronaldo brings to Utd in terms of image money, shirts sold worldwide, how often is he in the press, how often is he scoring how often do you win titles. A run to the final and winning the champs league, with the actual winnings, and tv money coming up to around 100million, I think its some 10mil + just for winning the final. What if you go out in the quarter finals next year, thats gonna be 25mil + lost straight away, not winning the title, you'll lose another 10mil, not being champions so ad money isn't "as" big, smaller shirt sales over the coming years. 80millions isn't huge money, for a player that makes the difference between winning and not, he could be worth a LOT more than 80million.

are you off your sodding nut?

pushed out by the fans? hands up people who think Ronaldo has been forced out rather than pushing for his dream move?


Also how much do you think he'd be worth next season with just the 1 year left on his contract? sell him now for £80million or lose him next year for £50million+ less.
