Skeletor Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Pardew has admitted we are interested in Bent, Remy and now Gomis but nothing has happened. Is he trying to push JFK/MA to get them "over the line" or if we haven't made any bids is he trying to pacify us to make out something is going on? They need to make something happen soon before apathy sets in. Apathy already has set in. Just look at how people keep forgetting about our friendlies until a match thread appears.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 We could have quite a few french players We already do tbh Also i don't think we will sign Bent, Gomis and Remy even if Cisse leaves.... 2 out of 3 max irrelevant if Cisse leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think the tour guides get bored, I was told we were changing our home kit to red, white and blue with the sports direct logo as our sponsor. The tour guides are going to know as much as the ticket office people, stewards and ball boys tbh (ie as much as the rest of us). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 from the BBC rumours; Newcastle have launched a £15m-plus bid for two more French players - Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis and Marseilles winger Andre-Pierre Gignac, both 27. Full story: Daily Star What I've seen of Gomis and Gignac is two pretty similar centre forwards, I've never seen Gignac play as a winger and can't believe he would be effective there. Then again nobody had ever seen Cisse play as a winger until Perdu tried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Apparently Deschamps played him there to accomodate Remy through the middle. Ironic as I would expect it to be the opposite if they both come here. Interesting read here.. we have been missing the pie eating type since Nolan and Campbell eclipsed the Viduka and Kluivert days. http://blogs.thescore.com/counterattack/2011/12/15/lyttleton-chunky-marseille-striker-andre-pierre-gignac-on-the-market/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cabaye-modric-plan-b-moyes-5167800 The wait goes on as United patiently pursue midfield target Cesc Fabregas, but the Reds won’t allow the chase to drag on much longer. Although the Spaniard is David Moyes’ No.1 summer transfer target, the new boss has contingency plans in case the move for Fabregas collapses. Moyes doesn’t want to be left without an addition to the champions’ engine room come the close of the transfer window at the end of August, so he already has other options. They include interest in Newcastle’s Yohan Cabaye and Real Madrid’s Luka Modric. United’s Dutch striker Robin van Persie has endorsed the club’s interest in Fabregas, with whom he played at Arsenal. Asked whether he wanted to team up with Fabregas again at Old Trafford, the Reds striker replied simply: “Of course, he’s a great player.” United have had one £26m bid rejected and have now upped the offer to £30m in a concerted effort to wear Barcelona down. The Spanish club have spent £48.6m on Brazilian Neymar and invested heavily on Lionel Messi’s wages. To recoup some of that outlay on Fabregas – a player who might not start that many games next season – is the tempting carrot United believe might see Barca succumb. But any decision over the future of Fabregas in Spain may have to go on the back burner following the sad news that Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has had to quit his post after a recurrence of his throat cancer. The Spaniards are set to announce a new manager this week to succeed Vilanova and a deal for Fabregas is unlikely to be completed until the new man has had time to assess his squad wants and needs. Newcastle’s midfielder Cabaye has emerged as a cheaper option at around £15m. The box-to-box player has already expressed his delight that the Reds have reportedly been keen on taking him to Old Trafford. Earlier this month the former Lille player, who signed for the Geordies two years ago, said: “I like this club (United) for a long time, I like what they do. “The boss has left but they have appointed a very good successor, and he did some very good things with Everton. “It could be an interesting challenge but there is nothing concrete and I am still at Newcastle.” Cabaye’s 10 Premier League goals in 60 appearances is a record that has attracted Moyes’ attention. United’s renewed interest in Modric could also be on the cards as an option if the Fabregas deal collapses. Former boss Sir Alex Ferguson chased the Croatian midfielder last summer when he was at Spurs, but Modric chose to go to Real Madrid instead. However, his time at the Bernabeu hasn’t entirely been happy and successful and the Reds believe a return to England might tempt him to end his Real dream after just a year. But one Madrid superstar looks set to stay. United fans have been excited all summer at the prospect of the Reds putting together a financial package to entice Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford. The former World Player of the Year is yet to agree a new Bernabeu contract. But new Real manager Carlo Ancelotti, the former Chelsea chief, believes there will not be a stumbling block. “Everyone knows that he is a superstar and a great player,” Ancelotti said. “The most important thing for the club is that a player of his quality shows the utmost professionalism. That is good, especially for the young players who can see a world-class player working with that attitude. I am not responsible for the renewal of his contract, but it won’t be a problem.” United have moved on to Japan for the latest leg of their pre-season tour after a week in Australia. But chief executive Ed Woodward is now back in the UK and will be attempting to get the Reds’ summer transfer business rolling somehow. United could still step up their interest in Everton left-back Leighton Baines having had an initial offer of £12m rejected. A double swoop on Everton could also still happen with Moyes keen on Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini. Woodward could also settle the Wayne Rooney saga now he’s back on home soil. Moyes had a series of phone calls with the England striker while United were in Sydney and Rooney was in Manchester having treatment on his hamstring injury. It was an attempt to placate the player over the manager’s comments last weekend that suggested Rooney would be playing second fiddle to main striker Van Persie. Rooney, however, hasn’t been convinced by Moyes’ argument and his future still looks to be away from Old Trafford, despite the club knocking back Chelsea’s opening £22m bid. Moyes will not want to lose a player of Rooney’s quality until United start to bring in some of their targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm sure Man Utd wont be going for Cabaye, if they are looking at Fabregas, their second choice isn't going to be Cabaye. Not a big enough name, and you could argue not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of sales we're in quite a good position now, after such a shite season. The bids that would force us to sell key players are extremely unlikely to be coming in.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 We are always in a good position when the player has 2 or more years left because the owner is a greedy bastard. Unfortunately while its a positive that we have many key stars on long contracts with an owner who refuses to sell easily. It means nothing when we are as inept as we are when it comes to recruitment sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
