^ if we decide not to sign a proper DM because of Essien, than mourinho is deluded. clearly the position where we need a world-class signing the most. but mourinho thinks that mikel, essien, lampard, MVG and rambo are enough

i dont get how people seriously want him. even if he takes a 50% pay-cut, he will still be earning 10 m. thats way too much. we arent talking about the Etoo from inter or Barca anymore. he is nowhere near that level. if we sign a striker, he should be world-class and not a 32-year old overpaid guy who is decreasing.

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 4m Chelsea are preparing to make a third bid for Manchester United's @WayneRooney (Guardian) #CFC #MUFC ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 2m Mourinho on Rooney: "There is no time limit. We have our squad of strikers. We have identified him as one we'd like to have with us"

his passes are mostly 3-5 m to the player staying next to him. schweinsteiger is the creative mind and surely not Gustavo. gustavo wouldnt bring us nothing. mikel is the same style of player just less mobile and Gustavo can finish better. mikel also has a high pass accuracy, because he takes really no risks in his play. same goes with gustavo.

how should gustavo fix our problems? we need a DM who can, even when pressured, build-up a play and be the link between midfield and strikers. gustavo is just a destroyer. we dont need a destroyer, we need someone who can pass the ball and build-up a play. gustavo would be a no-brainer.

fabregas has announced that he will stay. Dont think that Utd will sell him unless they get some players. they would look completely embarrasing.

well huddlestone will probably leave. parker maybe too. so they have dembele (injury prone), sandro (comes from a hard injury) and now paulinho. this aint that much. Boas also mostly plays with a double pivot, so that would make 3 players for 2 positions.

ChelsTransferGossip ‏@ChelsTransfer 1m Wayne Rooney will not be able to force his way out of #MUFC to join #CFC, even if he lodges an official transfer request (Guardian) full article http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/07/wayne-rooney-manchester-united-chelsea?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

because dortmund will sell him, you know. the same as Lewandowski

godin- quite a good defender but not world-class. also too slow and technically limited fazio- already 26 and hasnt achieved nothing till yet. solid defender but nowhere near luiz class mangala- he is a beast. but porto want 50 m for him. sakho- dont rate him at all. stagnated really in his progress and makes way too much errors. papadopoulos- good CB, but injury-prone as hell. also schalke dont really want to sell him and he still has to learn a lot. höwedes- schalke wont sell him, unless for a really high offer. rami- is awful. have seen enough from him at Valencia and against half-way good strikers he looks embarrasing. so, most of the options you listed, arent really good at all or would be expensive. mangala would be really the only one who could replace him quite well, but he would be really expensive.

We have rejected the bid!!

if we sell him, it should be at least 45 m. we are in mid-august nearly, it will be hard to find a replacement, especially as we are Chelsea.

dont sell any players to this c#nts. they have massive problems at the CB. we shouldnt fix it for them. let them get agger and f.. off.

that casillas stuff is made up and not proven at all. ramos is a fighter till the fullest. how many madrid fans do you actually know beside the one at the redcafe (a united forum..) ? most of the fans are thankful for mou but he f-ed up the team last season. he nearly had brawls with everybody. CR, ramos, iker, pepe etc. most of the people are thankful but are happy that now someone new is there and adds fresh bit of air. against barca we had mad luck. of course it was spirit and fighting but also mad luck. same as against munich. still we deserved the title because we had to win it even some years before.

we wont go for suarez. mou said its rooney or no one. also he said my striker wont cost 50 m which Suarez obviously would.
