No value there unfortunately
good one!No value there unfortunately
We were interested in Ballack but he just chose Chelsea over us.Would be massively surprised if we signed him, even if he became available on a free transfer - everyone said we could of done with Ballack when he was a free transfer and we weren't interested can see the same being true here.
Reckon he'll go to Real Madrid or Barcelona tbh
Schweinsteiger fits the bill for Fergie - Exclusive
Manchester United are weighing up a £12million raid for German powerhouse Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The Bayern Munich midfielder is continuing to stall on signing a new contract, with just 18 months left on his current deal, and Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to steal a march on Manchester City and Chelsea by making a move in the New Year.
Bayern are beginning to accept that Schweinsteiger is ready to move on after coming through the ranks at the club.
And although they have already told United that they do not want to lose one of their best players during the season, that will not stop Ferguson from stepping up his interest.
The United boss knows that he will be unable to match either City or Chelsea financially if he waits until the summer.
Ferguson is normally reluctant to do his transfer business in January, but wants to strike first in the race for the 26-year-old.
With Paul Scholes now aged 36, Owen Hargreaves still plagued by fitness problems and Michael Carrick’s long-term future at Old Trafford still undecided, United are desperate for top-class midfield recruits.
Schweinsteiger fits the bill perfectly. He was outstanding when Bayern knocked United out of the Champions League last season and followed that with a sensational World Cup.
Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan have also been linked with Schweinsteiger.
But sources in Germany say he would prefer a move to the Premier League.
Bayern are in some disarray this season and are struggling to make an impact in the Bundesliga despite topping their Champions League group.
Barcelona don't need him and they are not even linked to him. I don't think he is going to fit in at Madrid where there are Khedira, Ozil, Kaka, Alonso and Diarra.Would be massively surprised if we signed him, even if he became available on a free transfer - everyone said we could of done with Ballack when he was a free transfer and we weren't interested can see the same being true here.

I don't know about that price for January but if it comes to June or July and he decides not to sign a new contract, then that is the price they will be looking to sell. No team will play 25M for a player who has less than 12 months left on his contract.We'll never get him for £12M unless they want a player thrown in as well.
It depends if there are two teams bidding for him.I don't know about that price for January but if it comes to June or July and he decides not to sign a new contract, then that is the price they will be looking to sell.

One word: Hargreaves.We'll never get him for £12M unless they want a player thrown in as well.
they can have gibsonWe'll never get him for £12M unless they want a player thrown in as well.
City signed De Jong for 20 m just 6 months before his contract ended.I don't know about that price for January but if it comes to June or July and he decides not to sign a new contract, then that is the price they will be looking to sell.

I don't know about that. Ballack told him he'll fit in well here and his brother is a huge United fan. So I m keeping my fingers crossed.they can have gibson
would be a great signing but I doubt he would join Us
Well that's just because they are stupid. They have the money to throw it around, so they did. They might have needed a player to cover for someone's injury or something. He is not even worth 20M.City signed De Jong for 20 m just 6 months before his contract ended.
I recall them being interested in Park during the summer.they can have gibson
would be a great signing but I doubt he would join Us
Key word there is City.City signed De Jong for 20 m just 6 months before his contract ended.
No value in this kind of remarkSarcasm? the value stuff is the deadest of dead horses, mercilessly pummeled for over a year!
Nah I think different. His does not feel exactly comfortable at Bayern and this is not something new. He has been going at it with the fans for a season or two now. So I think there is a possibility of him moving abroad.On a serious note, all this still seems part of an elaborate contractual hardball to me.
No we weren't Fergie said he was too similar to Scholes and Rooney for us to be in for himWe were interested in Ballack but he just chose Chelsea over us.
Nothing like a good old milf/dilf (divorcee ) on a November afternoon.Thats my policy on women maybe.
That's not even true.City signed De Jong for 20m just 6 months before his contract ended.
18 million pounds sorry.That's not even true.
his contract wasn't finishing either.18 million pounds sorry.
Citeh could actually do with a player like him that controls midfield, none of the current crop do it well enough. But hope they don't go in for himIt depends if there are two teams bidding for him.
I already posted that link a few posts above last night.According to the Sunday Mirror we are contemplating a move as soon as January, a very optimistic £12m value I might add.

I don't actually think you'll get many arguments here. But Fergie never seems to do that, and is always talking about the narrowness of the market in January because so many players are cup tied.I don't really see why people give a big deal about him being cup tied. Its only for six months, not like he is going to be for the rest of his career. We are playing in Europe well right now without him.
After all the Premier League is also important and we could rest either Carrick, Fletcher or Scholes for the Premiership and use them for the later stages of the Champions League.
Ozil, VDV, Chamakh (unknown but looking top class atm)12m is a joke. There's no way anyone will get him for such a fee.
