Howedes = Coloccini + Cabaye?

That one I think. Depends who else you have at CB of course.

No-one as yet but I have 75m kitty to spend.

I would do the Papadapolos (however you spell it) one tbh

I reckon Papa Lazarou could be a stand out guy at the euros though.

Keep Howedes, and break the bank for Hummels.

Norwich have confirmed a friendly against Ajax at home

Anyone interested in Huth for £5 million?

Olly you'll get to see Bull's mancrush!

Modric to Utd for 25m seems to be heavily discussed in the media, what does everyone think to that?

Hero wrote:Modric to Utd for 25m seems to be heavily discussed in the media, what does everyone think to that?

I think Modric is very overrated personally. Just don't see the world class in him, I mean he went 4 months in the middle of the season without an assist or a goal. Not good for a creative midfielder.

i think Modric is overrated TBH.

indeed he will hero

Hero wrote:Olly you'll get to see Bull's mancrush!

Bull do you want to give me some sort of love letter so I can give it to him after the game?

Hero wrote:Modric to Utd for 25m seems to be heavily discussed in the media, what does everyone think to that?

Very good deal for United for me.

Modric is one of those players that if you know nothing about football, only watch the ball and nothing else, you think he is overrated.

His ability in the deep midfield role of dictating play, and orchestrating the attacking players is unmatched in the Premier League. He should score more goals, but other than that, I find no fault.

still we wont get him for 25m , Spurs rejected an offer of 40m for Chelski last time.

Basically he's the closest thing in the Premier League to Xavi for me.

an autograph would be nice olly.

TheBrahmaBull wrote:still we wont get him for 25m , Spurs rejected an offer of 40m for Chelski last time.

Another year gone from his contract. The price is rumoured to be £30m with £25m up front and the rest is performance related. I have heard that it is more or less a done deal tbh.

Hero wrote:Basically he's the closest thing in the Premier League to Xavi for me.

I started to write that the only one better at that role is Xavi, but took it out as I had to do something else quickly.

Kizzle Kicks ‏@nick_fury85

Too many people think RVP will ease Euros Top GS. Think they need to realise the main man for Holland is Klaas Jan Huntelaar #BackTheKlass

Read that Olly you better be scared little girl.

The Hunt > The Kumquat

Bull I will try my hardest, I have many autographs from this season including one Vincent Kompany

I don't see us getting Modric if we've already got Kagawa if I'm honest.

If the Modric thing is true, does this signal the end for Scholes?

Mighty Kagawa can play higher up the pitch and Modric can player deeper controlling the midfield like Scholes does. Its all good having an attacking player but we need someone who can supply them and Modric would be perfect.

No Olly Scholes has signed a 1 year contract probably be his final season for United.

I would love us to bring in Modric and Felliani and a striker.

I agree with this. Modric and Kagawa are completely different players. It would be like saying Spurs can't play VDV and Modric together.

Kagawa cannot play the deeper role, he is only effective further forward behind a lone striker or on the wing.

On Huntelaar, he was the main man in qualifying, but the implication from the dutch is that they will revert to one striker, which will probably see Huntelaar on the bench.

I also think you should not try to sign Fellaini

I don't really see why Utd need Fellaini if they have Carrick already?

I thought Kagawa would be used in a deeper role alongside Carrick. From what I've seen he is a hardworking player

He's hardworking but he would be wasted completely in a deeper role and we'd be swamped completely as he averages 1 tackle per game.

So people I have a question for you. Will RVP leave Arsenal this summer?

I have always thought that he will leave Arsenal this summer, and if he was going to stay I would have got his contract sorted before the Euros

Hero wrote:He's hardworking but he would be wasted completely in a deeper role and we'd be swamped completely as he averages 1 tackle per game.

Words from my mouth.

He does work hard, but only in the attacking third. He will play behind a lone striker, or on the wings, but it would be risky to put him in CM in a 4-4-2.

The most similar player I can think of in terms on position is VDV

Olly wrote:So people I have a question for you. Will RVP leave Arsenal this summer?

I have always thought that he will leave Arsenal this summer, and if he was going to stay I would have got his contract sorted before the Euros

I would say he's waiting to see firstly who Arsenal bring in, Podolski is a good sign but they need to continue with the signings (M'Vila etc)
I'd also speculate that he's waiting to see actually who comes in for him and who else is being moved around. No point in joining Real etc if Higuiain and Benzema are both still there, but if Higuiain moves onto PSG then he might have more game time.
He comes across as someone that isn't moving for money but to actually win something as a move now would be pretty much his last big chance so the likes of Malaga or Anzhi I'd rule out.

Hero wrote:He's hardworking but he would be wasted completely in a deeper role and we'd be swamped completely as he averages 1 tackle per game.

Will Man U use the 606v2 favourite formation of 4-2-3-1 then. Something like this:

--------------------De Gea-------------------
Smalling---------Ferdinand------Vidic------Evra
-------------Carrick--------Scholes------------
Welbeck------------Kagawa-------------Young
--------------------Rooney-------------------

Players might be different (Valencia for Welbeck, and a better CDM than Scholes), but something along those lines?

thats the formation i use.

Yeah he wants to win things. That's why I think he will move from Arsenal. I can't see them winning anything unless they improve there defence.

Olly wrote:I don't really see why Utd need Fellaini if they have Carrick already?

Fellaini is a very good player we need someone like him in midfield we get bullied too often and physically we can't compete with teams not only is Fellaini good in that role he is good with the ball which would fit us perfectly. Fletcher would have been our man in that role but I don't know when or if he will be back.

Realistically I can't see us signing both Modric and Felliani we probably won't sign either.

His wife has said frequently that they are settled in London

It may not be a big factor in terms of his career, but if it isn't about money then it's entirely possible he stays

Chris Hughton is going on holiday for a week, but is going to watch all of our games from last season while there! That is not a holiday!

Also on RVP, he is what 28, 29 now? And what does he have in terms of trophies? A FA Cup winners medal. That's it. Now I think he has the money to be set up for life. What will he want now trophies/medals

He also has Carling Cup runners-up medal!
And a Champions League runners-up medal, come to think of it.

Maybe he will want to win things but that might not be the be all and end all for him - he may value the Arsenal captaincy and his family's happiness too.

thought we whee doing a manager of the month thing?

We are.
We're only one week into the league so far!

I do have permission to buy and sell, but I won't be actively looking to sell.

The only dealing I will be doing will be if I receive a ridiculous offer for someone, and I will then look for a replacement.

Please only make firm enquiries involving actual offers. Any "how much for Joe Bloggs" type offers I will probably ignore

Bull - can I refer you to my post yesterday

well tell me what you want and ill have a think. it saves time

After 30 calls (Some of them threatening) 20 odd tweets I will finally be getting my phone today.

I am on such a high right now.

You realise you probably won't get your phone today still.

(Thank me later for popping your high in case it doesn't turn up - you'll be less sad this way)

I don't want anything for him. I don't want to sell him. The post says that. I am not going to quote a price.

Either make a over-inflated offer, or don't bother please.

What is it about the Pizza Hut Buffet that makes you eat more than you want to?

£5.99 all you can eat, means you have to get value for money!

I find that with anywhere where it is all you can eat. I end up having to sit for 20 mins after the meal for fear I could puke

Did get a touch ahead of myself (twitter does that), he said he's 'going' to rather than he's already signed.
