It's the players as well, De Gea and Van Persie have both spoken about him in the last couple of days, that rarely happens at United.
 
Odd, may work but Bent doesn't strike me as a link player at all, Cisse may be able to do it better, but even then, not sure. Looks to be a straight out 2-strikers front line.
 
Given that Bent will have lost a little pace and making space for himself, he should be good at feeding off scraps, knocking in a few loose balls... how involved he'd be in the build up... I just can't see it.
 
Napoli agree €35m fee with Real Madrid for Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain [Corriere dello Sport]

Wenger better get his targets sorted out or he is going to miss out. At least we now know the price.
 
According to Sky Sports the Gunners turned down a bid for around £5million for the Ivorian and the Italian club have returned with an offer of £7million.

Please be true, please be true, please be true... :p
 
what with what's happened with spurs over the past few weeks, i understand this may sound a bit cheeky but how on earth did arsenal manage to screw the higuain transfer up?

Yeah and if that happens you will need to change your sig and watch your team slip further down the table. Lol.

Or now we have one less striker and maybe an extra £7m we might return and buy Higuain. Or at least match the offer.

Apparently, Arsenal bid £23m ish and RM upped it to something like £27m, then upped it to £35m.

Who knows what really happened...
 
so barca haven't even rejected uniteds bid? is this just an insult or do united fans genuinely think barca may be contemplating it? £30m in todays market is no where near imo

United manager David Moyes, whose squad is due to fly from Sydney to Tokyo on Sunday afternoon for the next leg of the club’s pre-season tour, confirmed earlier this week that a formal offer, in the region of £26 million, had been lodged for Fabregas.
With Barcelona failing to respond to United’s offer, however, the Premier League champions are now prepared to increase their bid in order to underline their determination to make Fabregas the first major signing of the Moyes era.
However, with Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova forced to step down from his post at the Nou Camp on Friday due to the return of a cancerous tumour, the Spanish champions are now likely to focus solely on resolving the management position and offering their full support to Vilanova and his family before addressing outstanding transfer business.
United had been confident of enticing the 26-year-old Fabregas back to the Premier League, two years after his transfer from Arsenal to Barcelona. Fabregas remains the No 1 priority for Moyes, but the unforeseen circumstances of Vilanova’s deteriorating health have led to uncertainty over the likely outcome of United’s move for the player.

Primarily, Vilanova’s illness has led to Barcelona’s executives shelving all unrelated business, but there is also an acceptance at United that a new manager may tempt Fabregas to stay at the club following his lack of opportunities in major fixtures under Vilanova last season.
United have been encouraged that Fabregas would welcome a move to Old Trafford, but the change of manager at the Nou Camp has emerged as an unexpected obstacle to overcome.
Barcelona, having signed Neymar for £53 million this summer following their decision to reward Lionel Messi with a £17 million-a-year, six-year contract in February, remain set on a policy of reducing their wage bill by player sales this summer – a reality which has boosted United’s confidence of landing Fabregas.
Chief executive Ed Woodward’s return from United’s tour of Australia on Wednesday to attend to urgent transfer business in Europe has yet to bear fruit.
And following United’s 5-1 victory against the A-League All Stars in Sydney on Saturday night, Moyes conceded that no breakthrough had been made on the Fabregas move. “I’ve not had any more news,” Moyes said. “I have no more updates on anything really, so there is nothing positive or negative.”
United cruised to the win in front of 83,127 at the ANZ Stadium with Robin van Persie marking his first pre-season appearance with a goal following two apiece from Danny Welbeck and youngster Jesse Lingard.
Welbeck’s goals, his first in any game for United since the 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in February, came in the wake of a pep talk from Moyes about his recent poor form in front of goal.
“I told him [Welbeck] that he could have scored four or five, but you have to keep getting there to score and he did so,” Moyes said. “I have said to him that, if he continues to work as hard for the team as he has been doing, he will get his rewards.
"He made the keeper save with his feet, was a bit unlucky at other times, had some great runs and I think he showed a bit of versatility about himself tonight. I was impressed.”
Speaking after the game in Sydney, Moyes admitted that he was looking forward to locking horns with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho in ‘mind games’ after being asked about his readiness for that challenge by a Scottish reporter.
“It sounds like your accent is the same as mine, so you must be from Glasgow,” Moyes said. “But if you’re from Glasgow you quite enjoy those kind of things, so bring it on.”
Meanwhile, United chief executive Woodward has revealed that the club is considering restoring the words “football club” – which were dropped 15 years ago in a controversial redesign – to their club crest.
Woodward, who added that there were no plans to rename Old Trafford, confirmed that both he and Joel Glazer, United’s joint-chairman, and the member of the Glazer family most closely involved in the day-to-day running of the club, were uncomfortable with the present design.
“I didn’t like that change,” Woodward said of the 1998 redesign which removed the words “football club” from the United badge. “Joel didn’t like that change. We will look at that and have a think about that.
“We are a football club. We are not a business. The way I described it to the staff was ‘we are a 135-year-old club, and that’s what you have to remember. We are a football club. A club with a capital C: Club’. And strapped to that is a commercial business that’s going to fund a lot of the player purchases going forward here and we have to be supportive of both.
“We’ve got to make sure they co-exist together and don’t impact each other and that’s where we are trying to balance it. The heritage is not just important it is central to what we are trying to do. As an example we will not rename Old Trafford, the name is part of the fabric of the club. It means something to our fans.”

or it could be Suarez to Real, or Rooney to Real.

does this mean Napoli will end interest in Damiao? and as the striker options run out is it possible one of the English clubs might go for Damiao out of desperation?

Hmm interesting as i heard on SSN that Arsenal might be upping their bid on Higuain...its all very confusing at the moment:confused::(. Still would like Higuain over Suarez in all honesty, only thing that Suarez has over Higuain is that he has played in the EPL for a few seasons so is pretty much settled so to speak whereas Higuain is pretty much unknown as he hasnt played for any Premier league side.

Wenger and Arsenal really need to sort out who they want and how many players we are looking to buy. I just have this awful feeling that we may not end up with anyone this summer other than our freebie ie Sanogo:(.
