craigcwwe Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just seen the news about Lucas Moura, what a signing that would be. That video of him is brilliant, the lad has got some great skills with the ball and appears to be very strong nd could handle the Premier League no problem imo ESPN Soccernet are reporting it here: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1123694/manchester-united-close-in-on-lucas-moura-deal?cc=5739 Lets just hope Barca, Real, Chelsea and City wont put in a bid.

Paul Scholes has certainly been effusive in his praise of your talents.. I don’t want to get too big-headed but it’s nice when you hear it from him. Obviously, he’s such a good player and for him to say stuff like that is good for your confidence. When he was coaching with us, he never held back and went flying into tackles. It was good to learn from him and he carries on talking to us now even though he’s in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonahno6 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 What would be the point though? Behind the striker/winger is the last position we need filling at the minute. Kagawa/Rooney/Nani/Valencia/Young is enough. A proper CM is the place where we should be spending £30 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddidiodion Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Someone like that would be worth signing if you have the money regardless, they're young enough to grow into the team. The problems is we don't really have £30m to throw at him. Probably made an inquiry to get the rumour mill going to back the IPO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I will get Craig tattoo'd on my face (and call my first born son Craig to make the tattoo easier to explain) if we spend £30m on Lucas Moura As will I. Lucas Moura looks good but I can't imagine us spending that kind of money for him. His current club are probably trying to get teams to start a bidding for him and I doubt we'd be a part of one.

NSteelez Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The rumour has been going around for about a week, that a delegation has been sent over to talk to his family who own part of his contract headed by Jim Lawlor. In some ways it fits Fergie's MO, signing a player before they play in a major tournament. I still think it's a load of rubbish though, can't see us spending £30m before the start of the season, certainly not on a single player who's still so young and has only played on a different continent. Besides the fact that the positions he'd play in are probably our strongest and don't really need reinforcement. He does look like a special player though.

The thing with the press is that they'll peddle this myth that moronic (albeit gifted) players like Balotelli are 'characters' that working stiffs should be in awe of and be incredulous at their amazingly wacky antics. The reality is that a character like Scholes is infinitely more intriguing, because you have no real idea about what makes him tick.

I'm old enough to remember having a Bryan Robson Football Annual (!), think it was after the 1988/89 season and Robson talks about the United squad compiling the transfer rumours from the tabloids that summer and having a laugh about them. Think there was over a hundred players that United were linked to the club that Fergie had no interest in or had never even heard of. Nothing ever changes.

RSB Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Err, that's a bit bloody nice. Must be a fake. Interesting to see Arsenal and Chelsea linked with N'Zonzi over the past couple of days. Been pretty much my #1 target for us this summer, reckon he's exactly what we need - young, athletic, good ball retention and uses it pretty well from what I've seen, Premier League experience, and should be pretty cheap. Basically at the level of a starting DM for a midtable Prem side - ideal as an occasional squad option for us, as Butt and P. Neville were. No reason why he couldn't develop under us in a similar way to Valencia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
