Is there any actual evidence we are in the market for a right back?
Paper talk I reckon.
This
As much evidence as most other "targets" United have been linked with
Its a position that needs filling anyhow, just the same as we need a decent powerful center mid and someone to play up front with Rooney full time.

Yeah but some paper talk has more legitimacy than others and i've heard nothing concerning Maicon at all, and I would not really want him at Old Trafford.
Some people who say they are in the "know" actually reckon United will not be buying any high profile players this summer and that most of our transfer activity is done. I hope this is not true, i'd like to see one high profile name just to get excited about.

You arent going to look because you know there arent any.
You said multiple players. Sagna is one mentioned (Not that I agree with that) who are the others?
Otherwise it is a false comment

edit: Oh and Valdano's said that as it stands, Alonso doesn't fit into Real's budget and that they're miles off our valuation
My favorite bit is...
No, it's not like Real to talk about the private details of negotiations.Valdano added on Cadena Ser said:
I would be sad if this was the case, because as it stands, without at least a another decent striker, someone who can break up play in midfield, a decent right back and a decent goalie, the squad simply isnt strong enough.

That's some "boost".

You dont agree with what? That jakeke claimed Sagna is the best right back in the world? Well here hows this -
As for another example here's jekeke again this time on Fabregas
Apologies to DM I cant find anything where he actually goes OTT claiming any Arsenal player was the best in the world
So there you go proof of Arsenal fans claiming some of their players are the best in the world in their position
I cant believe you made me search through to prove that point
Personally, No I don't think he is.
He's good, and he has age on his side, but at the moment I don't think he's anywhere near Alves, as a right sided full back.
Foster has signed a new deal at Manchester United
I don't get this obsession with Alves? Fair enough I haven't seen him that much, but in the 10 or so games I have seen, he has looked distinctly average. (This isn't me trying to say Sagna is the best)
Agree
At Stamford bridge he was
Don't judge a player on one performance
I've watched a fair bit of him over the past two/three seasons and he's been fantastic, absolutely cracking full back.
His crossing might of been wasted, but he did provide the cross for Barca's goal in that game
I admit he wasn't up to his usual standards, but he is very very good.
I agree with what was said about Wes Bean as well, fantastic Right back, probably the best right back at defending in the league, there is a right back at Chelsea, who I don't think is as good defensively, but is much better going forward.

allow me to come to your aid there, ask DM who he thinks is better xavi, iniesta or fabregas.

Love to find out Rafas valuation of Alonso

Hardly, he crossed it in, it was headed away, Essien miss kicked it and messi passed it to Iniesta...
Doubt that was what he was intending
I've watched him a lot more than once
He should also be shot for completely ripping off Ronaldo's technique and diving everywhere.

I doubt he really cares as long as it's too much for RealLove to find out Rafas valuation of Alonso
Anyone that doesn't say Iniesta needs to open their eyes.
That's not opinion, it's just knowledge
