Rumours soon to pick up again: Gill says more transfer activity is possible

By

David Gill

After Ferguson’s announcement some days ago, David Gill has said that it is possible that ManUtd will continue to be active on the transfer market, even during the pre-season Asia trip.
Once SAF had declared that he would not sign anymore players the rumour mill has died up, but actual prices of certain players don’t seem to be as high as thought. Real Madrid has accepted a £15.5m offer from Stuttgart for Huntelaar which seems really good value. It is rumoured that the Dutch striker is holding out and hopes a Premier League club will make an offer. Spurs are said to be negotiating with Madrid, who would have to pay Ajax €6m if Huntelaar joins another club. I think Gill and SAF are already on the case, but we will not move for Ibrahimović because he is massively overvalued. So are Aguero and Villa.

Another tale ending.

The week full of stories and new more coming, we just have stay back and watch what these managers are baking in their heads. Massive signings from Real and  others its high time that we snatch players rather than to start a new tale for press.

Well first with Benzema, it was kind of impossible to take him away from Real.Zidane been one of the factor and also his no interest with our team. Huntelaar was also kind of same. It was pretty much sure that both these products were out of our reach compared to how we were approaching them.
I remember how Fergie used to handle new signings and making pretty sure that they don’t land else where but United.The brand name itself was the factor.For now all the big guns are in our rumor pages.
For now, according to latest news there’s one more to add on United’s misery. A.Madrid has disclosed that no attempt or any kind of offers have been made from United. And as such they are not interested in dealing their best players out of them. Also considering that , Augero doesn’t seem to be enticed with English clubs with his conference and has not shown any kind of gestures to our friendly hand. Rumours had that United were about to trade Augero with Nani plus 30 million in addition. But thats rumour and nothing new for united.
That keeps United up for search of a new strike partner .For now Augero looks too distant from OT.
So its yet another big name story  with United but nothing really looking on  deal. This has been the tale with United past season and it kind of looks scary.

PS:-Thank you,Franky from taking where i left.I hope to have good time with u.

Aguero or Huntelaar?

Real Madrid have accepted a £19m bid from VFB Stuttgart for Klaas Jan Huntelaar, the deal depending on the Dutch striker to decide on his future and where he wants to go. After yesterdays rumours around the massively expensive Argentinean international Aguero the question now is ‘Huntelaar or Aguero, with or without Berbatov’?

Huntelaar is several years older than Aguero and has only experienced the Dutch League before his 6 rather successful months at Real Madrid (40% strike rate over 20 appearances). Sergio Aguero is 5 years younger but almost 3 times as expensive. Where’s the difference and who would we prefer at Old Trafford? Can we do without Berbatov’s assists?

I think only SAF will be able to decide this one but as far as I’m concerned my preferences go to the Argentinean international. He’s fast on the counter and although very often he will penetrate too deep ((Often almost to the rightpost)) he still seems to have the eye for the incoming striker. Huntelaar from his part has a much more powerful shot from the second line, something we have missed ever since the glory days of Paul Scholes. Something Benzema could have brought us, but also something we can expect from Michael Carrick when he finally discovers his distance shot again. [Read more…]

Rumour kitchen: Berbatov plus £18m for Sergio Aguero?

Another day, another international rising superstar rumour. This time the rumour kitchen brings us the news of a tabbed offer for the services of Sergio Aguero. SAF is said to have offered £18m PLUS Berbatov to secure the Spanish 21 year old international, who is understood to have a £50m buy-out clause. So far none of these Spanish rumours have been confirmed and to me it seems very doubtful that SAF would sacrifice the mainly by himself highly hyped Bulgarian international.

So far Atletico Madrid have always maintained that Aguero not for sale is ((Unless the buy-out clause is met and triggered)) so it seems unlikely that a cash plus player deal could be sufficient, especially considered the difference in age between Aguero and Berbatov.

On that note though, I do think that Berba would be a lot more efficient in the Primera Division than he has been for us so far. The more open game in Spain definitely suits his game better than pushing the opponent against the wall and hope to find that small hole and score like we love to do at ManUtd.

Do we want Aguero? Heck yes! He would give every defense a run for their money and soon EPL fans would have forgotten about freckle boy Torres! I would love to see Sergio Aguero be part of our squad but I don’t see it happen.
