Heartwork Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 In other shocking news it looks like Ramos has his new contract at Madrid so we can finally move on from that red herring.Otamendi would be good but we seem to be developing a problem with Argentinians, Laporte would be my other choice. Well that'll mean Man Utd won't be letting de Gea go without Ronaldo coming the other way, if Ramos is now out of the equation. Woodward and co WILL demand someone in return.

Woodward and co WILL demand someone in return. Real will just wait a year, get De Gea for free and keep anyone that you'd be after too. De Gea is a great keeper but if he has just a year on his contract, United are in no position whatsoever to try to drive a hard bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 barcastuff @barcastuff 9 minutes agoMan United defender Marcos Rojo (25) wants to join Barcelona. Agent says talks will start in coming days. Could depend on Adriano. [dicen] Welp apparently I was wrong. If we're even close to making our money back on him he can go, he didn't do badly at all last season but he's not really at the level either team should be looking at long term. If his agent can get that move to happen, then that agent is not being paid enough. That guy could probably get me a move to Newcastle United if he can get Rojo to Barca.

Heartwork Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Strange one that, not seen any evidence yet he's actually with us. Not listed on the site(or wasn't at last glance) and hasn't been involved with the 21's. I think if De Gea goes then Cillesen will come, I think its probably done and dusted but on hold. Has been on loan in Serbia. His Twitter has been kept p to date with him supporting the first team on tour and he still says he's at United so probably still gonna be involved with the U-18s/19s to start with (still only 18) as a worst case scenario for him. But I'd expect to see him in the U21 team a lot. Dude has a dumb hairstyle though: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schotsmannetje Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not a United fan, but just wanted to respond to the Cillessen rumours as somebody who reads the Dutch newspapers. This is already one of the most important games for Ajax for the coming season, I really can't believe that they would pull him out of the squad one day before that game because of a transfer. I also don't believe that Van Gaal, as an 'Ajax-man', would ask them to exclude one of their most important players for such an important game. Just my two cents though.

Timmy Howard Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 A few journos are now reporting that LVG is happy to go with the defenders he has, with Blind/Carrick as back up. Only went for Ramos as he is world class/part of the DDG strategy. Otamendi is also "another Gaitain" - linked to us despite there being no interest. An improved midfield does provide extra protection but that is nothing short of worrying and frustrating if we're hoping to achieve anything this season...
