I think £30m is way too much for Nani. Maybe just me but I think he is overrated and you could reinvest that money on Kagawa and others.

Llorente is Sainty's nick, and he's already told the hordes that he is unavailable!

Best rumour I read this week was that Llorente was going to Sunderland. Sunderland!

£30m is a lot of money but Hero tell me who are we going to replace him with, a realistic offer not one of these fantasy league signings.

Opinions on my defence please...

Debuchy---Howedes---Koscielny---Mathieu

or should Caceres fit in there as a first choice somehow? or Raul Albiol?

Well it would pretty much get Hazard but I presume you'd deem that a 'fantasy' signing.

Cabaye from Newcastle and Garcia from Benfica I'd use the cash on.

Michael Owen won't be getting a new contract and if Berbatov goes we need to bring in a new striker.

Hero, you missed part of the ani rumour out:
"Meanwhile, United have indicated they will listen to offers for Portugal winger Nani if talks on a new contract stall. The 25-year-old has 18 months left on his deal and is being offered £130,000 a week to stay but if he holds out for more, the Old Trafford club will look to sell him for £30m. "

Quite an important part too

Manchester City's Carlos Tevez has said he will not apologise to Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson for the 'RIP Fergie' poster he brandished at the new champions' title parade, because Ferguson never apologises for his own comments. "It seems Ferguson is the president of England," says the Argentine.

(Various)

Defender Rio Ferdinand holds his Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson partly responsible for his omission from England's Euros squad, after the Scot questioned whether the 33-year-old defender could stand up to the rigours of an international tournament.

Full story: Daily Mirror

But Ferdinand is also convinced his omission is a result of the John Terry race row involving his brother Anton Ferdinand, and that he is a victim of the allegations against the former captain.

tevez is a douche.
If Nani did got that £30m would go on Gaitán. Hazrad is City bound.

Just thinking the same thing Laugh

Reckon he might end up somewhere like Villa... How about Everton for a long shot? He is an Everton fan after all, and he's hardly Liverpool's number 1 favourite player anyway. Be good with Jelavic.

I actually thought his name was kumquat then, which I would have been even more impressed with.

I want the dream team of Goodwillie, Kuntz, Fanni, Bender.

I will have to consult my fellow Runners

(ie don't take this as gospel and then rant at me!)

But I believe it to be the case that this Monday coming will be the lawyer offers.

The following Monday will be the Star Player bids.
That week will also see the Community Shield Match and the season will start in full the week afterwards.

The voices say Bayern Munich aren't overly confident for the Champions League final due to their defensive suspensions (Badstuber, Alaba, Luiz Gustavo).

Back four and midfield two could well be;

Lahm - Boateng - Van Buyten - Contento
Kroos - Schweinsteiger

Van Buyten - only just returning to fitness
Kroos/Schweinsteiger - Neither is defensively minded and the alternative is Tymoshchuk
Contento - reported to be leaving Bayern as he's not good enough!

Marky but they have a faboulous attack it will be a close game but I think Bayern will shade it but you can't right Chelsea off it just could be thier year.

Schweinsteiger is not a dedicated DM like Makelele but he is capable of playing in that role if needs to be and he is a big game player.

Badstuber when he first came in at LB I thought yeah this lad can be a first team for club and country but now I'm not sure.

Dortmund were a better all round team this season than Bayern Munich, but while they're adding Reus to their squad, losing Kagawa and Lewandowski (as well as maybe a couple of others) would really hurt them.

Badstuber is still young, he and Boateng are both still only 23 and will get better.

Support the team, last time when the side needed them they were singing Anti Glazer songs. It's wrong and not needed at the stadium do a protest somewhere else. If they going to protest because United finished 2nd well they can Flip off.

The Glazers or any normal level owner just don't stand a chance with Mansoor bankrolling City.
Only way Utd will be able to compete over the next few years is if we too get a sugardaddy chairman onboard too.

I think the financial fair play guidelines will really help football from teams just spending hundreds of millions each year. I know people are sceptical but at least it's something making clubs think and wind it in a bit.

Viva, Glazers have take £71 out of the club in last 9 months, apparetly. Dont know where this info is coming from, im trying to find somethign concrete but its all over twitter.
one thing ive learnt it twitter is powerful. I saw Dalglish sacking on there before BBC Football or SkySports, no not a lucky guess by a person as it was all over, 5 mins later its on BBC.

Exactly and the fans need to understand that we would have to attract players by our tradition and History and what we can offer in terms of trophies City have the financial power but are also going to go for titles and it's hard for us to match that. These Arabs have so much money from Oil that they don't know what to do with it so they'll just keep spending some of them are richer then countries.

On the flip side though there's a huge amount of rubbish that gets posted on it that then spreads like wildfire and turns out to be garbage, so many people have had to suddenly make a public appearance because they've reportedly died on Twitter.

You're both right in terms of Twitter sometimes you'll get the news way before the major news channels but you're also get a load of crap. It's a bit like goal.com they are not a respected organsiation so they can post as much as crap as they like and they are bound to get some right but it don't matter if they get it wrong because no one cares unlike BBC or Sky.

I'll be honest I don't understand properly how the Glazers are working and what level the debts are at and how they are repaying and what they taking out. I've heard so much diffrent things but what I would say is why protest when the club is playing support them and do your protest elsewhere. Some of these people I wouldn't call fans the things they said to the Glazers is vile.

I think the basic premise is that they bought the club against massive loans and the fans think they will drain the club of profits to firstly service the huge loans and then secondly themselves. All this while the squad is left to stagnate with no investment.

I don't know if that's true - seems like a successful period since they came it!

Agree on that, the Beeb were well aware of Dalglish and were allowing their reporters to tweet about it early in the week yet it never appeared on the BBC website until it was confirmed.
