Franciszek Smuda (Poland Coach): "Robert Lewandowski is going to Manchester United." [reuters]

Oops . What's going to happen to Welbeck and Hernandez?!

Is that tweet from ManUtdStuff? Someone find it on the Reuters.com at least.

Edit: Bet this ends up being a miquote. "What I meant to say was he could easily play for Manchester United, he's that good."

Smuda, who took the post in 2009 after Poland's failure to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa, sets the Borussia Dortmund's Polish trio - Lukasz Piszczek, Kuba Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowski - as the example to follow.

"In my opinion, in a moment they will be gone from Borussia," Smuda said. "'Lewy' is going to Manchester United, Kuba also somewhere in England, Piszczek to Real (Madrid)."

"They have a goal and they want to grow. I base the squad on them."

Why would we buy him? No chance. Too good to be a 4th striker.

It's his wild guess, a nothing story. He just thinks he'll go, he doesn't know that.

So it's in his opinion. That's all. Nothing to suggest it's true except the ramblings of a national team coach.

I'd be very surprised if not only were Dortmund to sell two of their best players to us in one summer after they've won the double in Germany, but then added to that by selling a load of others, too (like Pizczek to Real Madrid).

Magical Manchester United.
I don't want to spoil the party, but we don't need Lewandowski. It would be odd to move for a fourth striker who would cost at the very least £20m; we couldn't afford to give Welbeck, Hernandez and Lewandowski enough playing time and with Kagawa already signed, it's likely a system change is coming up as well. Good player, but NOT what we need and would be a waste of resources. We're light in other departments.

How would he fit in with Kagawa. Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez and the wingers (nani, Valencia, Nani)? Cannot see this happening unless a big name is leaving.

Why can't we be linked with central midfielders? WHY?

Welbeck won't lose his place to Lewandowski. He's by far a better player and will soon be scoring goals regularly.
No he isn't. I rate Welbeck but Lewandowski is better.

Somebody being "signed" is the new version of transfer speculation these days it seems
