	Log in to remove this sponsored message As ever it is quiet on the Utd front especially with more richer clubs snooping around potential targets these days. The usual 'do everything before July' thing seems to have been halted due to Euro 2012...Or has it? Ins: Shinji Kagawa - A tidy sum of £17m for a player who potentially may be worth much more potential-wise as well as the entirety of the Far East about to buy shirts. Similar style of play to Nasri. Nick Powell - £4m for a relatively unearthed rough mineral which has the potential to be shaped into a diamond. Apparently packs a hell of a shot and one of the best youth products of Crewe's famed academy. Rumored Ins: Luka Modric: The usual guy these days...Will Chehmahn Dahnyul sell him to us though or is he really going to Real Madrid? Javi Martinez - Impressed against us for Bilbao. Currently rumoured to be joining Bayern after shunning Barca. Too expensive? Angelo Henriquez - A teenager Chilean forward whom we have first dibs on. Robert Lewandowski - Germany's top goalscorer (iirc?) this season just gone... Kevin Strootman - A Dutch Midfielder whom the press label has a style of play similar to Roy Keane. Outs: Michael Owen - bought in on a free, leaving on a free..did well when called upon. Keep him fit and he should still get you goals Tomasz Kuszczak - Left for Brighton, decent keeper...surprised a Premier League club didn't snap him up or a similar top level league in Europe. Rumored Outs: Dimitar Berbatov - Looks like hes on his way out. Arguably should have gone in January for the sake of his playing career. Hes probably still a decent player. Ji-Sung Park - a lot of Utd fan's scapegoat choice for many years (mostly unwarranted). However he is starting to show signs of ageing. If he could finish he'd be brilliant as hes awesome at positioning. Fergie seemed to use him more centrally this season just gone which he isn't good at. Paul Pogba - Apparently virtually gone to Juventus due to his greedy manipulative agent. Fabio - Apparently going out on loan...The press seem to think Benfica or QPR at the moment. A quick type-up I must admit. Edit: Jul 28, 12 11:04am -------------------

	It would be Modric in an ideal world but I cant see Ferguson paying more than £20 million for a central midfielder so that rules Modric and Martinez out. Also need a full back, especially if Fabio goes out on loan. Will leave us very short in the full back department. Don't need another striker, I think there's enough in the attacking forward/ striker position with Kagawa, Young, Nani, Valencia,Rooney,Hernandez and Welbeck with many of them being able to interchange.

	Lewandowski scored 22 goals for Dortmund last season but it didn't make him top goalscorer for the league. Gomez and Huntelaar got more. Although I would like him to sign for us I just don't see it happening.

	Still need a left back (can't keep carrying Evra) and right back in my opinion. Jones isn't a right back, neither is Smalling really. Maybe Schmelzer in from Dortmund at left back. Still hoping we get Clyne in at right back. Is Powell coming straight into the first team squad? I heard he could be in the reserves next season. ------------------- PES 2013 Forum ¦ NeoTwitter

The only possible explanation to spending that much on a winger is if Nani is off maybe? Iirc there was a break down in contract negotiations so maybe Rodriguez is Nani's replacement? Baines for £14/15 million is cracking business if true. I cant see how we are going to be able to keep both happy though? I cant see either being happy to sit on the bench.

	quote High Road Baines should start. I fully agree but if Baines comes in as first choice and Fabio goes out on loan, I Cant see Evra being happy being on the bench which will mean he'l probably leave, which leaves us right back where we started in only having one natural left back in the squad.

	If Park goes and with Giggs only getting older, Evra/Baines to me, could also be seen as options at Left Wing. If Valencia and Young are first choice, Nani can cover both wings as back-up as an attacking option, and whoever of Evra/Baines isn't starting LB being a defensive option. It would mean whoever is deemed second choice at LB has another chance to get in the XI at LMF. That's just my musings, but it would be an understandable route to take if we're getting Baines for that amount of money, while still needing some cover on the wings. Options would be something like: RB - Rafael, Jones, Clyne LB - Baines, Evra RMF - Valencia, Nani, Kagawa LMF - Young, Baines, Evra, Giggs, Nani ------------------- <3 Natman Something in my throat made my next words shake...

	I'd assume Powell will spend most of next season playing for the reserves and possibly getting games in the Carling Cup and FA Cup runs. Could also see Fergie doing something similar with what he did with Pogba, by including him in some match day squads and giving him a few minutes when a game is killed off. If we do sign Baines, I could see Evra being used ahead of him in some games. Offers a good attacking threat and could also help out with defending if necessary. Still think we need a CM, but I can't see us bringing one in. Modric is still my ideal target but it sounds like he's off to sunny Spain.

	I hope he isn't relying on Scholes and Giggs again to pull us out of the shit in terms of central midfield. It'll work against smaller teams but you'll get bleeped in the ass against the best. Injuries kept Anderson and Cleverley from making any real impact too. I've read that Anderson is shedding that Brazilian partying lifestyle by having a stable relationship with his girlfriend and the car crash in Portugal which has kind of put him on the right track somewhat. Whatever happened to the Anderson that ran at defences like Paul Ince in 2007/08? -------------------

	Baines would be a great signing. I would prefer Baines started over Evra as a few times in the season just past I have noticed Evra seems reluctant to get back quickly after attacking and at times the pace of the game seems too much for him. Age is beginning to be a factor for him imo. Reckon Baines would be a shout for our free kick taker too.
