I was told by a mate in the know that the discussions with Man United for Baines were pretty much agreed, They were just thrashing out amount up front versus add-ons.

My mates dad is 82, lives virtually next to Goodison and is a livelong member. He goes and has a cuppa with the staff at the club almost every day and is actually a pretty reliable source. The only flaw is that there are times when he gets the wrong end of the stick coz he's a bit old and deaf, but I would make him a 90% reliable source of information.

On Moutinho, a while back (last summer, maybe the summer before) he told me that United had enquired seriously about Rodwell, but as a fall back option for Moutinho, who they were pretty serious about. This was just before he moved to Porto, whenever that was. Not sure why nothing happened back then, but SAF must be a fan

agree Viva mate

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 1:54 pm

Lucas Moura to United is pretty much a done deal is what I heard. Moutinho is going to Spurs to replace Modric as Marky says

by Bull Thu 12 Jul 2012, 1:55 pm

i cant see Lucas joining tbh i was thinking that his club would want more then 30m and i cant i see united paying that.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 1:57 pm

Well from what I heard it is a close to done deal. Although I know Inter were interested in him as well

by Trebs Thu 12 Jul 2012, 2:01 pm

To be honest, I think it's a player who played at the Euros, based on Fergie's quotes.

Would love to see us get Claudio Marchisio.

Because I much prefer Felliani.

by **Afro** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 2:06 pm

I hope Fellaini stays, more than I hope Baines stays!

Ideal world, we keep both, realistic world 1 leaves and I would prefer that to be Baines.

Marchisio is the kind of player United need, but there is no chance of Juve breaking up the Marchisio/Vidal partnership unless offered silly money

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 2:35 pm

I used to love Schweinsteiger so much I used to b** him but I've gone right off him.

by Bull Thu 12 Jul 2012, 2:51 pm

Valencia will wear the number 7 with Kagawa having number 26

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:10 pm

I'm guessing the Lucas Moura done deal to Man U is to be ranked with the Nicolas Gaitan/James Rodriguez done deals...

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:27 pm

Hold on. If Ferguson has said they will try to bring in at least one more face, and hinted at it being someone from the Euros.

Has everyone forgot Robert "flash in the pan" Lewandowski? There's your new signing, Bull forget about Moutinho.

by Bull Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:28 pm

We dont need another striker.

it will be Mouthino

In fairness SAF didn't hint that it would be someone who played at the Euros. He said that the transfer market is always a bit delayed after a major tournament. So he was saying that the Euros meant everything was happening later, not that it was someone from the Euros.

Although he also didn't say it wasn't.

United need an enforcer in midfield. if you brought in only one more midfielder, Moutinho would be a poor bit of management.

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:39 pm

If Berbatov goes and Owen released we'd only have Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez we need to bring in another stiker, a strong tough midfielder and a creative midfielder. An then we should be done.

De Gea + Lindergaard
R.Da Silva + Jones
Evans + Vidic
Ferdinand + Smalling
Evra + Baines
Valencia + Nani
Modric + Felliani
Carrick + Cleverly
Young + Giggs (Bring in another winger)
Rooney + Welbeck
Hernandez + Lewdownski

by **Afro** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:40 pm

You forgot Kagawa

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:42 pm

I didn't, I wanted to do 4 CMs and 4 wingers.

There is no chance if we get Baines that we'll get Felliani. He would have been perfect for us.

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 3:47 pm

De Gea
Smalling---Evans---Ferdinand---Baines
Modric----Felliani
Nani-----Kagawa-----Young
Rooney

Lindergaard
R.Da Silva---Vidic---Jones----Evra
Valencia---Carrick---Cleverly---Giggs
Welbeck---Lewondwksi

Spares
Scholes
Anderson
Hernandez

I think that squad could challenge for the title and win it.

by sodhat Thu 12 Jul 2012, 4:55 pm

Ibra to PSG apparently

Maybe AC Milan really do want Carroll on loan to be their big man!

by Bull Thu 12 Jul 2012, 5:07 pm

thought it was Silva and Ibra?

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 5:18 pm

Milan have said Thiago Silva is going nowhere, he's pretty irreplacable for them.

Ibrahimovic is class but replacable.

by Trebs Thu 12 Jul 2012, 5:23 pm

I'll be glad I rejected 16m for Carroll in my league if he does go to AC. If he goes to West Ham, on the other hand...

According to bleacherreport bull is correct

60m for the pair

by sodhat Thu 12 Jul 2012, 6:06 pm

Yeah I used it with caution!

But the source appears to be Leonardo himself so it could be true.

by Trebs Thu 12 Jul 2012, 6:22 pm

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 7:15 pm

Cherries will be happy. Bournemouth signed Miles Addison from Derby, he's easily yoo good for League 1, and proof that they're intent on buying their way out of League 1.

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 8:34 pm

Ibrahimovich and Silva have joined PSG.

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:08 pm

€62m/£50m for the pair.

Surprised at Thiago Silva, but money talks.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:10 pm

But I would say that £50m for the pair is pretty good for PSG. I would value Silva at way over £30m and Ibra is £25m at least

by Trebs Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:11 pm

It's a very interesting deal. Where are PSG playing next season? Champions League? And also is this a done deal?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:13 pm

The AC Milan president has said they are sold Trebs. PSG are in the Champions League next year, and they should walk Ligue 1

by FIFA Diva Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:28 pm

The PSG project is dangerous, more ambitious then City, Chelsea and other mega rich teams.

by Trebs Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:30 pm

Yeah it is, it'd be bad for football if the final of the Champions League was PSG vs Manchester City.

Anyway, I'm off till Tuesday. I'll see you all around

Done my predictions, so adding my 2m.

by Marky Thu 12 Jul 2012, 9:48 pm

Done my votes, sent to Twist and sodhat.

by sodhat Fri 13 Jul 2012, 9:08 am

Got them Marky

by sodhat Fri 13 Jul 2012, 9:43 am

Is anyone interested in either Puyol or Albiol?

Both available for cash offers

by FIFA Diva Fri 13 Jul 2012, 9:48 am

Morning

Going to do my voting now.

by **Afro** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 9:55 am

Whose up for some deals, I need to overhaul my squad a bit to build for next season?

All the following are available for cash (min of TM value):

Julian Speroni
Nathaniel Clyne
Kolo Toure
Walter Samuel
Fabricio Coloccini
Seydou Keita
Elias
Gary Medel
Ross Barkley
Miralem Sulejmani
Keisuke Honda
James Milner
Hatem Ben Arfa
Nilmar
Adrian

And these are available for cash, but it would take an offer significantly over their TM value...
Joe Hart
Nikica Jelavic
Phil Jagielka
Domenico Criscito
Kyle Walker

by FIFA Diva Fri 13 Jul 2012, 10:18 am

Hero I've sent you a really important message get back to me ASAP please.

by **Afro** Fri 13 Jul 2012, 10:31 am

I've got a cracker of a task lined up for next weeks Apprentice task Ok!

Should help with being a manager on here a bit too

by FIFA Diva Fri 13 Jul 2012, 10:39 am

Do I still send Twist my votes even though he is away?

by FIFA Diva Fri 13 Jul 2012, 10:47 am

Did anyone watch the England V Greece U-19 semi final last night? We lost 2-1 they had thier keeper sent off we missed a penalty, arghhhh England are so crap we might turn into Scotland Laugh

The only good thing to come out from that was Ross Barkley he was better then any other player on the pitch and at times he was on another wave length to his teammates has to get more game time at Everton next season.

Has been hailed as the best player to ever come through our system. Given the obvious other player that came through our ranks, that is some statement.

Moyes does tend to hold young players back from the first team longer than a lot of other managers. Sometimes I think he is too cautious

If he hadn't missed a year with a broken leg, he would be in our first team by now.

That is some statement, you reckon even ahead of the white Pele? Hopefully he'll be a first teamer soon, he is a talent and I noticed it a lot yesterday when he was too good for the U-19. Whats happening with Rodwell still injured? Can he break back into the starting 11?
