*Transfer Window 2014/15 Season Rumours/Signings *AKA Man U fans listing every player under the Sun

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Rofl that line up by Phil Neville is absolutely terrible, how the hell does that guy get paid to give analysis?

BREAKING: #mufc is delighted to announce Radamel Falcao has joined on a 1-year loan from Monaco with an option to buy.

Done.

Radamel Falcao said: “I am delighted to be joining Manchester United on loan this season. Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top. I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal and contributing to the team’s success at this very exciting period in the club’s history.”

Louis van Gaal said: “I am delighted Radamel has joined us on loan this season. He is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the game. His appearance-to-goal ratio speaks for itself and, when a player of this calibre becomes available, it is an opportunity not to be missed.”

Feeling pretty damn good about are team now

I can't believe we've actually got rid of Welbeck. For more than Kagawa. That is insane.

If his goals secure Arsenal top four at United's expense it'll be Arsenal having the last laugh.

 

[Shamikebab]

Hey, Arsenal could have signed a striker. I'm happy with them taking Welbeck and giving us money.

Shame to see Powell go out on loan but we're still stuck with Cleverley Would have liked to see us give him a chance this season.

Have you forgotten that United have just signed Falcao to replace him?

 

[nicktay2605]

Yes! Finally! Falcao's goalscoring record is excellent - 104 goals in 139 games since moving to Europe, a goal ratio of 0.74 per game. He might be a luxury for us this season, but if he stays fit he's likely to continue that trend.

We'll just ignore the defence

Man Utd: Rooney, RvP, Falcao
Man City: Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic
Chelsea: Costa, Remy, Drogba
Liverpool: Sturridge, Balotelli, Lambert
Arsenal: Giroud, Sanogo, Welbeck

Seriously, it's literally pathetic, Liverpools third choice striker might be more useful(in certain situations) than Giroud, outside of Lambert every single other striker listed is better than all of ours, and the difference between Giroud and Sturridge, Costa, Aguero or Falcao is ridiculous.

Why when City were trying to ditch Negredo did we not jump in there, or Bony, or, what about Higuain last year....

Higuain has an exceptional record, is still pretty young, has years ahead of him and at 30mil would have been easily the best value striker around last year or this year.

Higuain and Fabregas would have cost less than Ozil and Sanchez yet been so so much better for the team. Welbeck, jesus, what a complete god damned moron. January, save the season 50mil for Ibra, the guy is a god damned beast, he'd tear it up for us, Cavani would be more sensible but I'd just love to see Ibra at Arsenal.

Ignored CB so lacking cover there, have no quality in the slightest at left back. Would like to see Wenger try Campbell and Bellarin out but he won't(outside of like two cup games months apart), we lack wingers who can carry the ball forward and produce quality service for the front line, we don't have a front line, Sanchez is a diving idiot who doesn't really suit this team. ozil is a lazy tart and will always be so. Flamini will likely again not be available for half the season, Arteta will continue his decline.... but we brought a **** striker so it's all fine.

 

[physichull]

Good luck in Hull, Hatem. At least you're rid of Pardew now

What an utterly **** deadline day.

Got to say, pound for pound, I think Hull City have done the best business tonight. To think that ten years ago we smashed our transfer record by shelling out £250k for Lawrie Dudfield...fast forward to tonight and we've spent nearly £40M including Hernandez and Ben Arfa...amazing!!! Well done Steve Bruce because you blew my socks off.

 

[drunkenmaster]

lol, when will people learn, it's about champs league MONEY, not the champs league itself. Utd can still offer money that most champs league clubs can't match, including Liverpool.

Their signings have been fantastic, top players(either currently or in potential, some are both) for every required position. Expecting cover and a top notch signing for every position in one transfer window is stupid and wasn't going to happen. Rafael is supposed to be training afaik, just the changes from injured players coming back will have a huge impact. I could see some players moving around in cover till most players are back from injury. Maybe Rojo or Blind at right wing back if Jones/Smalling were available but Rafael wasn't, or Blind at right wing back if someone else was available for central midfield, etc. But once settled that is a very strong first team which could do with depth/cover for sure but is a monumental improvement.

How many keyboards have you burned through tonight then DM? Keeping Ducky in business surely?

Shame to see Powell go out on loan but we're still stuck with Cleverley Would have liked to see us give him a chance this season.

Wrong area of the pitch though surely we have Januzaj and Mata amd possibly Di Maria available to fill that position

Powell from what I have seen ( apart from spending most of his time on loan as a striker, when Utd originally bought an AM / No 10) has never excelled further back in cm

 

[FrankJH]

This logic presumes that their career will be 20 years long(most players careers aren't that long) and that they will be good enough at a less good club.

Cleverley(and many others) fluke into big contracts at top clubs because some manager saw something in him as a 12year old kid, likes him and still has faith(based more in sentimentally than actual sound judgement) so gives him a big contract.

Cleverley lets say could be on 60k a week now, maybe 80k a week, I don't know, with a few years left. Villa might say they'll play him, presuming he's good, but he could sign for 30k a week for 4 years, and end up on the bench, and after that the best club he can sign for is a league 2 club at £500 a week.

Just because some players go on to do well after leaving a big team doesn't mean all will. Walking away from X number of millions guaranteed for the chance his career might improve is something the majority of people wouldn't do.

I cant honestly remember how much Everton have actually paid out this summer on Lukaku and whoever else but in all liklihood they are going to end the season with another 80- 100m like they did last season ( incl whatever they got in Europe)

Obviousely a lot goes om wages and other stuff around the club but imo this was Cleverley's chance to prove how important he can be to a lesser club rather than being potentially signed on a free as a backup player to the paid for signings next season ( who in all liklihood will be better quality)

This season was his chance to make an important role for himself rather than being on rhe bemch / with the reserves and hopefully rarely playing with u21's hopefully tsking his place at Utd

 

[JohnnyG]

Thank God that's all over, it's been cringeworthy to say the least.
Did Man.U. get Sneijder in the end?

 

[atpbx]

It's the best transfer window in recent history, mainly because we have off loaded Welbeck.

If we had managed to to get rid of TC23 as well it would have been the greatest ever.

 

[G|mp]

Gaalaticos!

[Josh]

All the Welbeck hate, I'm kind of happy with him, he will be on the bench from Jan when Giroud returns, so if he can get us 10 goals between now and then it will be 10 more than Sonogoals hopefully.
