With Sanchez on his right and Januzaj on his left, he would be lethal but why spend 56m on him when we could sign the two top cm that we need for 75m

Unless Rooney's getting sold I have no idea why we would even consider him. He's not better than Van Persie regardless.

As much as I said I'd be pleased if the window closed and we'd secured Shaw, Schweinsteiger and Sanchez. I do have to agree with @peanuthead that I'd still worry about the likes of City (and Chelsea now) tearing through our midfield. No doubt he'd help against the rest of the league though.

Would Schweinsteiger alone be enough to really bridge that gap in the biggest games? It would really come down to Van Gaal's system. And I guess having Sanchez (if it was to happen) on the wing would detract from the midfield still not being quite there.

Anyway, I rarely make serious predictions. But the last times I did, I predicted Chelsea would get win at Anfield (before the game) and Chelsea would score a second (when Liverpool were bombarding Chelsea's goal at 0-1).
So I'm calling Sanchez to United this summer. I really have a feeling about this one. Enjoy guys! :p

And here I was thinking the Cavani rumours died off.

Why would an italian newspaper know that an English club have bid for a Uruguayan playing for a French club? Slow news day.

I know he played in Italy, but doesn't mean they'd have any knowledge of a bid before French or English sources.

They know everything about PSG and Leonardo is still very influencial and based in Milan.

What is the chance that we are all stupid and don't know jack about football and the Cavani signing would be the best even without any new CMs?

Cavani would be a great signing, and dare i say he'd be a better stricker than RVP for us, but we really need to balance our team with a proper midfield.
We don't need a CB or a winger that badly but at least one very good midfielder.

With Van Gaals style of play, we would be stupid to not even try to sign Sanchez.

Our wingers have been very poor, and to be honest, a 433 normally requires the wingers to want to cut inside a lot. Something Valencia doesn't really do.
I'd actually like to see Nani given a chance in this formation.

As for Cavani, I really don't get it. He is the least player we need. Sure he would improve us, a lot, but we don't need him, especially at that price

Can't people adequately sift through what's nonsense and what isn't from the tweets people put on this forum.

I thought that was the job of the moderators? If they don't like what they see, they can simply delete. They have generally a better handle on what is going on, than the rest of us. (Apologies to those non-mods that live for the Caf, run up enormous post counts with :lol: and don't have much else going on) :D

Yeah, i was trying to make a joke about having only Cavani as a signing and nobody else.

I don't think it's Cavani or a CM as I do think we have plenty to spend this summer, it's more that we haven't got room for him and where will he play?

This is the thing though. From what i have heard, he doesnt like playing on wing and even if Chicha was to leave, we still have enough strikers. Either this roumour is completely bul*** or Chicha AND Rooney are going. More likely its just empty speculation.

If Woody really is chasing after Cavani and is willing to pay that much, I fear for our future with such a clueless CEO.

This Cavani story has to be the biggest load of nonsense of the summer thus far.
