Malaga's Jeremy Toulalan will sign for Atletico Madrid in a €5M deal.

RMC Sport Radio have just announced Younes Belhanda has "chosen" Aston Villa #avfc.

i hope this is true

[King Gizzard]

belhanda thing probably not happening according to our local reliable journo on twitter.

and City need to sign Isco for this...

http://i.imgur.com/n92TTjx.jpg

[Drew.]

iv had that chant stuck in my head for most of this game :joker:

[Black Dagger]

We have a full song if we get all the players that have been quoted lolol.

I'm more confident about Isco joining City than Endison though.

[Black Dagger]

Although really, the Disco/Isco line >>>

[Drew.]

i think Isco is now on my most wanted list for signings this summer.. we had scouts at that game, SIGN HIM UP

[Ryan57]

MEN reporting:

The club are also determined to keep Rooney at Old Trafford, suggesting Moyes believes he can get the best out of the striker he handed a full debut to at the age of 16.

But the players in immediate danger are Nani and Anderson, while Ashley Young could also be in jeopardy after a disappointing second campaign at United.

Please be true. Even I would have to credit Moyes if he sold that bag of crap.

Guillermo Varela will have a medical at 8am tomorrow before joining Manchester United. Confirmed by @CampeonDelSiglo.

Young RB from Uruguay

[Brother Leon]

Impressed on Trial apparently. Not really the position I am looking for, but adds depth I suppose. I assume we probably dont go for Baines now so there is that positive. :)

[Drew.]

seems we have matched Fellaini's release clause or we are set to match it.. either way it looks like we may sign him..

[bbfan1991]

Yeah I heard about that Nathan, he will be used in the U-21 squad probably as United let a few players go and are rebuilding it.

Rumours that Arsenal have activated Marouane Fellaini's release cleause.

[King Gizzard]

Not just rumours most people are reporting it, he wants to play DM

[bbfan1991]

He will get it there, he probably wanted to follow Moyes and now it is not going to happen LOL.

[Drew.]

id be quite happy with Fellaini.. would be a rock in midfield

[King Gizzard]

Isn't a ''omg they've got a chance of silverware'' signing though is he really

[Brother Leon]

15m release clause apparently.....Steal. Move in on him Moyes.

[Ryan57]

15m release clause apparently.....Steal. Move in on him Moyes.

Definitely BS. Been widely reported for a while it's around £22 mil.

Be a club record also if this goes through.

[Drew.]

Isn't a ''omg they've got a chance of silverware'' signing though is he really

afraid not, need a world class striker to sign before we can start saying that.. but he's a player we have needed for a while now and will help us massively

[bbfan1991]

David Moyes is probably on holiday, he don't start at United till July 1st LOL.

I would not be surprised if United sign Ezequiel Garay and Kevin Strootman judging by the rumours, there is definitely interest in Thiago Alcantara too but i'm not sure whether he would come.

[Brother Leon]

Midfielders,BBFan?

Nobody got time for that :joker:

I would not be surprised if United sign Ezequiel Garay and Kevin Strootman judging by the rumours, there is definitely interest in Thiago Alcantara too but i'm not sure whether he would come.

He'll still be doing work in terms of finding targets and getting others to pursue them.

Strootman rumours have been going around Twitter of late, like the photoshop picture of him at Manchester Airport. :joker:

Could so easily be another Sneijder and Clyne case, though.

[bbfan1991]

I know yeah BL:joker:.

United and SAF obviously had some targets lined up or deals agreed before Moyes was announced as the new Manager, so I think Moyes will just follow up on that because after meeting Sir Alex obviously he will follow it through.

[Ryan57]

Nobody mentioning Ronaldo? Media still trying to churn out stories about it. It's going to happen...

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/D7Ke0rh.jpg

[Ryan57]

Graham Hunter saying Real and City have both agreed a deal with Malaga for Isco. Block in City's road is the fact City aren't willing to pay as much, in wages, as Real for a 20 year old.

[King Gizzard]

Well they're idiots if they don't go for him when they've spunked 45m on two relatively old players

[Ryan57]

Well they're idiots if they don't go for him when they've spunked 45m on two relatively old players

Depends on the wages, though. They dropped out of the running for Hazard due to his silly demands.

Graham Hunter also saying City want Thiago. Reckons if he does go to the Premier League it will be to City. United and Real also want him though. Highly doubt he'd move to the latter.

[Drew.]

still think Madrid will splash out some cash on Bale so cant see both Isco and Bale going

[Ryan57]

Ah, yes, Bale. Forgot about him.

[bbfan1991]

Nobody mentioning Ronaldo? Media still trying to churn out stories about it. It's going to happen...

If he is unhappy at Real Madrid still and is stalling on a contract then perhaps he will just see it out, although a part of me thinks if Ronaldo's agents are using this interest to get RM to get Ronaldo on side and to get him agree to a new deal.

I hope Ronaldo comes back to United before he retires, it is clear he was at his most happiest with us, was well liked at the club and has lots of friends around still and Nike would be willing to finance the deal if we were interested because of both United and Ronaldo being sponsors of Nike;).

He will be in a Real Madrid next season though,

[bbfan1991]

Real will go after Bale and Suarez if they do not get Isco,

[Ryan57]

Would expect Real to get him to sign a new contract rather soon. No way will they want to lose him on a free. Bringing in Bale would sooth the hysteria around Ronaldo going somewhat.

I fully expect him to still be at Real next season.

[bbfan1991]

I hope that the Ronaldo to United stories continue for a bit longer just to piss Real Madrid off really because of how they conducted themselves when they bought Ronaldo off us.

[bbfan1991]

I can't see Gareth Bale uprooting his young family to another country just yet, so I think he will start next season at Spurs and will leave if they do not qualify for the Champions League,

[Ryan57]

Just discovered this legend on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/MoorbitJNR

His insults are fantastic.

Especially towards the_shepherd01 an 'ITK'.

Such classics as:

'better watch your back I'm gona s h i t in ur mouth u dirty somalian transvestite'

'you better be scared with your vagina lips. Knob cheese alien *****'

'why u want my adress? So you can kiss me? You piss stained pile of cock'

All aimed at the ITK guy.

Also, probably my favourite:

ITK guy tweets:

Moyes doesn't want him so his agent and his quotes are meaningless. "Chicharito" Hernandez is free to leave Man Utd this summer. #Utd #MUFC

Moorbit responds:

@the_shepherd01 ****** off. Hernandez is stayed u dirty piece of cow s h i t

22m for Fellaini!?

not remotely happy about that.

[Drew.]

22m for Fellaini!?

not remotely happy about that.

could end up being a good deal i think.. would much rather we spent £15m or so on him though

[Shaun]

how much did we sell van persie for again? :laugh: seems daft.

[Brother Leon]

24m. When I look at all these recent signings I just smile thinking what we got him for.

[Drew.]

i know.. Fellaini would cost almost the same as RVP its crazy

[Ryan57]

RVP was in the last year of his contract though.

[Drew.]

here we go again.. Hulk to Chelsea rumours are going on for another summer

[Black Dagger]

They can have him :hmph:

Aleksandar Tonev has signed a three-year deal with Aston Villa from Lech Poznan.

[bbfan1991]

Swansea to sign Jose Canas after deal agreed with Real Betis.

[Ryan57]

Spanish 'agent' Francois Gallardo yesterday told Italian radio that the transfer was already done. Speaking to Interecomía of Catalonia, and quoted by Fichajes, Gallardo said "Real Madrid has signed Bale for 90 million euros. The signing is closed from this week but Real Madrid will wait to make it official when they have a new coach announced. I have information and I assure you that Gareth Bale is already player of Real Madrid."

Known to be a compulsive liar so take it with a pinch of salt.

Ben Fairthorne (no, me neither) says, 'Ronaldo wants United, United want Ronaldo, agent Mendes wants it up happen, but going to be up to Ronaldo to force move.'

Googled for him and it seems he is a real journalist and has interviewed some big names in the past.

It won't happen, especially with Ronaldo's latest comments about not speaking to Real Madrid as of yet over a new deal and denied any suggestions that he has demanded more money.

Plus he said that he is confident about agreeing a new deal at RM.

Indeed. Never expected it to happen. Especially now Ferguson has gone.

Roma sign Mehdi Benatia from Udinese.

[Ryan57]

"Cesc Fabregas has zoomed up Manchester United’s transfer target list to the top position and the champions are going to move heaven and earth to get him," Denis Irwin told the Sunday World newspaper.

"The Barcelona star wants out of the Nou Camp and United want him badly, so the deal should be done easily enough. Fabregas is just the sort of all-action midfield player United need if they are to make a run at next season’s Champions League.

"Cesc won’t be short of offers for I believe this is going to be a transfer season where eye-boggling amounts of money will be spent."

"Nani will go to Monaco and Patrice Evra may well return to the same club, from whom he joined United," Irwin added. "I’ve also heard a word that the new manager might have Luke Shaw at the top of his list. The teenage Southampton full-back is the latest in a long line of prodigies from that club’s excellent youth system."

[Drew.]

i cant believe any of that :joker:

[bbfan1991]

Me neither. Denis knows the club, but I am sure that people who know who our transfer plans are will keep quiet about it:joker:.

[Ryan57]

i cant believe any of that :joker:

Indeed. I don't see why he'd reveal plans.

Some United fans were trying to cook up a swap Rooney for Mata deal today which made me LOL at them:joker:.

[Drew.]

these Mata stories are absolute rubbish.. best player in the side last season

[bbfan1991]

United linked with Nampalys Mendy now, who wants to leave Monaco and he is a CDM too, which is the kind of player we need!

[King Gizzard]

just the time when you don't want to leave monaco

[bbfan1991]

just the time when you don't want to leave monaco

True. I have just read an article on SSN and Claudio Ranieri claims that the player is listening to advice from his brother and agent.

L'Equipe are claiming it would be a free transfer too if the rumours are true.

[Shaun]

I was interested to see the list of released players this summer... Arsenal with 13 including Arshavin, Squillaci and Denilson :( all could be good captures for other teams.

[Drew.]

Arshavin especially.. would be good for a club like Fulham

[bbfan1991]

I always liked Arshavin, apart from if he scored against United:p.

Will Arsenal actually go on a spending spree this Summer? I think you will sign Marouane Fellaini now unless David Moyes swoops in and takes him to United;).

[Shaun]

Conor Henderson, Sanchez Watt and Josh Rees were the only others I'd heard of.

[bbfan1991]

United have let some of our U-21 players go and are rebuilding the side.

Paul Scholes was named on the released players list by United that went to the Premier League when it was his own decision to retire?

When will Arsenal get rid of Frimpong?:p

[Drew.]

its all good though.. players released have all been deadwood

[Shaun]

amazed Frimpong hasn't just gone and set up a fashion business full time tbh

[bbfan1991]

amazed Frimpong hasn't just gone and set up a fashion business full time tbh

Or record a song with his cousin Lethal Bizzle.

Arsenal could make some money of this ''Dench'' thing if they are savvy enough;).

[bbfan1991]

Do you think Arsenal will splash the cash the Summer or is it just season ticket renewal time tactics by the board etc?

[Drew.]

we'll obviously spend but will it be £10m or will it be £50m.. i predict we wont spend much

Maybe not so much Squillaci.

[Shaun]

I can't see us spending a lot. A couple of 8-10m buys maybe.

[Ryan57]

Have the Arsenal board ever said how much is available to spend in the past? They're saying £70 mil each summer over the next few seasons.
Also Gazidis has never been this forthcoming before has he?

I reckon you may just spend this summer. (Probably jinxed it now and you'll spend £20 mil)

Thiago and De Gea are very good friends, so if he ends up at United I would not be surprised if DDG convinced him but City have a decent Spanish contingent now and if they are still in for him have as much chance as us of signing him.

£17.5m fee and a 6 year contract for Andy Carroll. 6. Years. Rumours of close to 100k/week

£17.5m fee and a 6 year contract for Andy Carroll. 6. Years. Rumours of close to 100k/week

well, he'll keep them up in the PL and suits West Hams playing style.. even £17m seems ridiculous for him, let alone £35m :laugh:

the deal altogether is going to cost nearly 50m overall...for Andy Carroll :joker:

Such a polar opposite to Villa, absolutely no one had heard of our deals until they were done or the other team leaked them, in the case of Helenius they had to apparently because they were on the Danish Stock Exchange and you have to disclose that kind of stuff for some reason

Oh I'm not disputing he's talented, I'm just sure it's possible for us to find cheaper alternatives to score the goals... if we do somehow end up signing him, fantastic, but I won't be overly gutted as long as we have a back-up or Manuel has some tactics in place.
