Blackpool reject £4m bid from Liverpool for Charlie Adam, according to SSN.

Bargaining chip with Villa IMO, but wouldnt be a bad signing if it did happen.

Looks like Carrick, Evra, VDS, Owen and O'Shea will all be ex-utd players come next season.

By then, Welback and Macheda will be back from Loan.. Plus Lindergaard should be #1. Been playing really well for the reserves. Made some good saves in the 8-0 game against Bury where Obertan scored a hatrick.

Obertan has huge potential. Just watch his goals in this match. Can see him going on Loan at some point though.

The problem is his decision making is frightfully poor. He's quick and has good feet so hopefully he'll develope something resembling football intelligence and become a good player a la Nani.

edit: No weekend football thread? Any games on tv today?

Aren't there any decent Arsenal transfer stories going on? I've heard literally nothing.

http://www.sportsvibe.co.uk/arsenal-considering-move-for-tottenham-defender/

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a shock swoop for Tottenham Hotspur defender Jonathan Woodgate as defensive cover.

Spurs defender Woodgate has struggled with injury for over a year, having not played since November 2009 due to a career-threatening groin problem. He now appears to be firmly on the road to recovery after coming through a reserve match against QPR in midweek.

Woodgate is not a registered player for Tottenham, after Harry Redknapp opted not to include him during the registration process for the first part of the season. However, with Woodgate returning to full fitness, he could be knocking on the first team door sooner rather than later.

This has alerted Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who is looking to strengthen his backline following injuries to Thomas Vermaelen and Sebastien Squillaci. Woodgate is seen as a temporary stop gap for the coming months, as it is unclear as to how long Vermaelen will be absent.

The former England international has endured a difficult two years in north London, with his Spurs career blighted by injury.

Redknapp remains uncertain over the immediate future of Woodgate, who signed from Middlesbrough in 2008, although there were suggestions that he would be loaned out, with Championship sides QPR, Leeds and Middlesbrough thought to be interested.

Have you been reading too much goal.com?

VdS & Owen - quite possibly will be gone.

The other three? I doubt they will leave, be sold, or hand in a req.

Holloway spoke about our bid for Adam in his post-match interview today. He denied that Adam was saying goodbye to the Blackpool crowd at the end of the game (he made a point of staying behind after the final whistle to applaud the crowd) but admitted that Adam was flattered by our interest. Holloway did say that we need to put a 1 in front of the £4m we've offered though

He wanted £46m for him last week so the price is coming down, might get him for £6m next week.

Hope that goes ahead he a quality player.

Stewy · 22 Jan 2011 at 20:14

Surely he's never getting a game there?

Ha, the downside to being a big club is that everybody sticks a 1 in front of their prices when they hear 'we're' interested. Plus he's English.

Can almost understand Wenger's approach to developing our own players. Even then Theo cost more than your bid for a seasoned player.

Yup, thought so. With Higuain out, they need another striker. Even with Higuain they still lack depth up front.

wish Ruud never left Utd. He was such a good player to watch.

btw, source?

Just massive lolz at that

As for the rest, reserve team football is of a worst standard that league 1 so nothing anyone ever does there really means anything

ACE01 · 23 Jan 2011 at 00:28

VDS, Owen probably, Carrick, possibly. Evra and O'Shea, less likely for me...

Interested to see what happens with Welbeck though...

laughs at a training game against Bury being any realistic comparison to the week in week out onslaught of the EPL.

Lindergaard will be No2 for a while, Fergie will buy an experienced gk over the summer Im sure. (esp as PIG wont stay if he remains at No2, and I doubt very much he is good enough to be No1)

Im worried about Evra, as he still hasnt signed a new contract - so IF he does go (which he keeps on denying) Utd wont get much money for him, certainly not what he is worth and the replacement will probably cost a small fortune (Enrique from Newcastle has been rumoured, but I hope that stays as a rumour to be honest, good player but Im not convinced he could step up to Utd's level)

Carrick is meant to be having contract talks after the window shuts, but lets see what happens....

FTM · 23 Jan 2011 at 10:30

muntari, Ssegnon or nzgogbia to sunderland...hopefully 2 out of the 3

looks like Bruce whats to add some wingers or at least some more power into midfield to support Gyan while welbeck is injured

The poster you're quoting didn't say that or even anything to that effect.

It's a bit premature to talk about Lindegaard taking over Van Der Saar's gloves yet, there will probably be an experienced interim goalkeeper in the meantime and I keep hearing Gordon mentioned. I hope it's not true and that we don't end up with another post-Schmeichel era.

I don't think Evra will go to be honest; he's probably angling for a last big payday from the club. He's getting older now and probably realises that he won't get paid more or play at a higher level at another club so he's more than likely looking for a contract extension with a generous wage.

And good servant or not in previous campaigns, I hope Carrick is sold on by the end of this Summer.

Robert1986 · 23 Jan 2011 at 18:33

Wouldn't mind seeing Allan McGregor of Rangers in goal for utd next season. There were rumors going around a few months ago that utd were looking into buying him.

Didn't say that.... but Obertan showed potential. Most the time, if someone does well for the reserves, they can be brought into the first team. Hell, I'd rather see Obertan and Bebe on the bench instead of the likes of Gibson and Carrick.

The Demba Ba deal to West Ham will be completed tomorrow according to SSN.
