Transfer Targets

Transfer Targets

Here we can keep track of our transfer targets and their probability of coming.

Samir Nasri



Info: The Frenchman is a quality player. Capable of playing in the middle or out wide, he could fill in our CM spot that we've badly needed. Great dribbler, fantastic passer, quick, and just overall very good. He has said that he wants to see if the United interest was concrete, and all we really need is Wenger to sell him. A must buy. Go get 'em Fergie!

PROBABILITY OF COMING: 60%

Luka Modric




Info: A creative, technical attacking midfielder who can turn a normal attack into a spectacular one. He is a master of driving runs and threading a through ball. He is quality i not questionable, but Harry Redknapp's willingness to let him go is. Although Modrick does crave Champions League football, that could be the one of the key things that could entice him to take the drive from London to Manchester. JUST IN: SAF reports that he doesn't want to splash 50 million on Modric and has moved on to Sneijder.

PROBABILITY OF COMING: 50%

Alexis Sanchez



Info: With pace, tricks, and confidence, he truly is the whole package. An immensely talented winger, it's no wonder Barcelona and City are after him. But with reports that United have had talks with Udinese's owner and have reignited interest in him, who knows what could happen? JUST IN: Sanchez has told sources that United would be his favorite destination, and now that we've shown interest, a deal might be conjured up with in 48 hours!

PROBABILITY OF COMING: 80%


Wesley Sneijder



Info: This Dutchman has it all. Speed, dribbling, and even a wicked shot. Recent reports are that SAF isn't ready to splash 50 million for Modric and has focused on Sneijder to replace Scholes. Sneijder has before claimed that United would be his favorite destination, but it will still be hard for SAF.

PROBABILITY OF COMING: 80%

More to come.

Nasri before all then Modric and i don't really want Sanchez to be honest.

They're all brilliant, but Sanchez is more direct. Sometimes we lack goals.

no young or De Gea?

lol do we really need to include them just to write 100%?


and Nasri 80%....i think he's more 50% Wenger said we are going to do everything we can to keep him. and with Cesc likely gone, i think Arsenal will pay him the wages he wants or the fans will turn on Wenger and the Club

Do you really need Nasri or Sanchez when you have Nani, Park, Young and Valenica?

Nasri would likely play as a CM for us....and a cheaper option then Modric

Ah.

Why don't Fergie splash 20-25million on Nasri now than waiting for Wenger to change is mind?
That amount of money is well worth it for a player of his level!

Nice post, Red.

I think our chances at landing those targets atm stand at:

Nasri- 0%

I honestly don't think Arsenal or Arsene Wenger would ever allow him to come to us. It would be the ultimate bitch slap to their fans and club if they sold him to a direct rival. Nasri too I think made those comments about us in order to scare Arsenal even more into caving in to his wage demands.

If he is serious, they will let him rot in the bench for a year and then ship him out, or try to change his mind by winning a trophy next season.

Modric- 60%

This looks like it's gonna be a straight battle between us and Chelsea. With the latest reports suggesting Levy would accept nothing under 50mill for Modric, I don't see us getting him for that crazy price. plus the option of remaining in London might sway Modric's decision to go to Chelsea.

Sneijder- 90%

he called us a 'beautiful club' a month ago in a Dutch chat show. It's clear he wants to play in the Premier League. His latest comments were not to assuring for Inter "Will I remain at Inter? Only God knows". He is the player we need, and I think he knows that. We will sell players this summer, and will most likely solve his whole wage issue that appears to be holding this deal from becoming a formality. I think he could be our marquee signing this summer. I would have prefered Modric, but Sniejder is still would a fantastic addition to our squad.

Sanchez- 75%
I'm a bit unsure about this tbh. It just came from nowhere that we are on the verge of signing him. If he does come, what does that mean for Nani or even Berbs? Remember, he can also play in an advanced attacking role like a SS in addition to just being a winger. we will have to wait for like 2 days to see how solid this latest transfer news is before we can get more excited. I do have a feeling we will sell one top player of ours to accomodate this deal imo. Nani or Berba? I hope not, but we will have to wait and see.

Patricio Rodriguez- 70%

Was a quite a buzz last Friday that we were gonna def sign him. It has kinda died down now. He could be our Chicha type signing of the season. He is a bit on the small side, but from watching some of his clips only, he looks like a fantastic dribbler.

i think we would pay 15m tops for Nasri...initial reports i read said we tried to swoop him for 10...i don't see us going any higher then 15 definitely not over 20

i don't want Sneijder and his outrageous wages, had a sub par season in the Serie A and he plays the same position as Wazza we need a true CM like Modric in the middle

He can go for as little as 8 mill. i think 10 mill for any club, but United, can get him.

Well said.

The thing about Nasri, is I could see him coming if Arsenal don't up his wages. Modric wont be coming, because Fergie has said he doesn't want him for 50 million. Modric isn't worth that.

I think we should go for Sneijder/Modric, Sanchez, and Rodriguez.

Rodriguez!!!! lol youtube has made me love him over night Fergie Sign him up!

Very nice stuff.

How close are we to signing him?

'Manchester United claims the Argentine starlet is waiting on a work permit application to clear before signing a pre-contract agreement with Manchester United which will see the player move to the club on July 1st.'
http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/united-closing-on-argentine-starlets-signature-?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

from the Gaurdian
"United, meanwhile, have turned their interest in Raphaël Varane into a formal bid, offering Lens £9.2m for a teenager who fits into their policy of recruiting potential stars of the future.

Lens have provisionally accepted United's offer, though the matter is complicated. Varane has begun his Baccalaureate exams and may delay his decision until they are finished, while his excitement about moving to Old Trafford is tempered by reservations that he will be joining a club which has an established central defensive partnership in Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, plus Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans in reserve.

Varane is keen to arrange a loan in his first season, possibly meaning he will stay in France, and if that is not possible with United he must decide whether he would be better off signing for a team where he would get more games."


http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/16/luca-modric-tottenham-manchester-united

Varane is a big strong kid, believe he is only 18? can play CB or CDM very very good athlete apparently, 9.2m for a CB from france as compared to a 19 year old CB from England 16.5m....god english talent inflation sucks but Jones seems worth it

awwwwww CRAP! lol just read this

http://football-talk.co.uk/27160/pato-rodriguez-manchester-united-class/

so disappointing, apparently Pato Rodriguez father is the one who put the transfer links out there to United to try and drive up the price of his sons transfer fee, apparently the youtube videos we see of him are really all he has ever done, and he is very inconsistent and would likely be a reserve player at United.

youtube you bloody hype machine!

Transfer Targets Update:

Phil Jones = signed
Luka Modric = Interested on a switch to Chelsea
Wesley Sneijder = on vacation
Alexis Sanchez = Headed to Barca
Raphael Varane = Bid offered; Have to combat RM interest
Ashley Young = to be announced
