I think some people are being slightly unrealistic with players and prices. Looking at stories over the past few days this is what I think may happen.... INS - Kagawa 12m, Clyne 3m, possibly a striker not sure who, Martinez 30m (I dunno if this is realistic actually but I would LOVE it, if not then another similar midfielder) OUTS - Berba, Owen, Ando, Park, Kuszcack, Macheda, Fabio loan

You trust ESPN for your football news really. Their main analyst Tommy Smyth has never touched a ball in his life.

OUT: BERBATOV, PARK, ANDERSON, BEBE, KUSCZAK, OWEN, MACHEDA, POGBA, FERDINAND ONE MORE SEASON: EVRA, SCHOLES, GIGGS, CARRICK, FLETCHER IN: HAZARD, STROOTMAN / MARTINEZ ( Ideally both ), CISSOKHO, LLORENTE VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE .... Hopes it opens the eyes of 'some' fans who are satisfied with current team! http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/1055924/ netherton:-manchester-united-young-guns-struggling-to-fire?cc=3888

Out Bebe,Kuz,Berbatov,Anderson, and fringe players. Which makes a solid 25 million at least. IN Javi Martinez,Eden Hazard/Christian Eriksen

Funniest post I've tea in a longtime. This is Manchester United mate, not Leeds United! INS: Have to be a CM and CAM/Left Sided Att. IMO this has to be: CM: Martinez, Strootmen, CAM: Hazard, Goetze, If we sign Gaitan I will eat my iPhone! PJ

Paul_ROX:

Sell or release: Owen, Berbatov, Kuszczak, de Laet, Bebe Loan out: Fabio, Macheda, Pogba Buy: Marcelo (I heard he gets about 1m per year at Real Madrid), Nicolas Gaitan, Papiss Cisse

i think, kus, Berba, Pogba, fryers, park, bebe, owen, will all leave(not that i want pogba and fryers to) and i'd like to see anderson shown the door but don't think that wil happen

dunno about in, Kagawa, Strootman, clyne and fuchs would be nice, but think thats been overly optemistic(espically on the kagawa front, if we could get de marcos i'd be almost as happy)

Dazzmondo:

Anderson - Out (13-16m)

Just curious but who would pay 16m for him?

or 14 mil for rio let alone 20?!

Out: Berbatov Owen Anderson Kuszczak Park Bebe Macheda (loan) De Laet (loan) W Keane (loan) Fabio (loan) Lingard (loan) Tunnicliffe (loan) In: Hazard, Muniain or Rodriguez Strootman or De Marcos Clyne Baines or Alb***

Out: Kus, Berba, Bebe, De laet, Park

In: Strootman/Martinez, Clyne and Hazard/Kagawa

That seems realistic-ish.

Loaned - Fabio - To be fair already announced, Amos, King,W.Keane,Tunnicliffe. Released -Kuszczak - Do not know why people saying sell him, he is out of contract. Norwood , James and Pogba. Sold - Berbatov,Macheda,Bebe, Anderson,Park and De Laet Contracts - New 1 deals for Scholes and Owen Signed - Nathan Clyne and Modric Do not foget the return of Vidic and Fletcher - Will feel like 2 new players

Prob noone but if Alex does sell him I don't think it will be particularily cheep, Anzhi might be an option.

Cut our losses and move on, you can't always get a profit plus we'll be using the wages more effectively.

In cases like this a loan with a view to a permanent move might be a good option. If it's a successful loan, then the price is justified or we bring him back, hopefully a better player, or if it fails, then we loose nothing, plus he'll be off the payroll.

This is a crucial transfer window coming up for Manchester United, our team is going through a significant period of transition and a number of positions will need to be filled with long term replacements over the next two seasons

The main priorities for the team should be signing a young talented RB, a Defensive Midfielder and an attacking CM/Playmaker.

My choices in their respective positions would be, RB- Clyne, DM- Strootman and AM/Playmaker- James Rodriguez/Eden Hazard. I believe this signings would cost us in the region of £40m

I also expect Kusczak to be sold (£1-2m), Ritchie De Laet (£1-2m), Marnick Vemijl (£1m), Josh King (£1-2m), Michael Owen to be released and Berbatov to be sold for £8-10m. This money would take our net spend to around £30m

It has already been announced that Fabio will go out on loan (hopefully to someone like Bolton/Swansea, in addition to this i'd to see a number of our other young talents go out on loan. I'd expect to see Paul Pogba (if he signs a new contract), Davide Petrucci, Ben Amos, Michael Keane, Will Keane, Jesse Lingard and possibly Ryan Tunnicliffe go out on loan to a Premiership club like Wigan, Bolton, Everton, Swansea, Norwich or a newly promoted club

John Cofie, Mats Daehli, Adnan Januzaj, Phil McCullough, Liam Grimshaw, Joe Rothwell, Jack Rudge, Jack Barmby, Gyliano van Velzen and Sam Byrne would all benefit from a move to a Championship/leading League 1 side

I can see Zeki Fryers, Anders Lindegaard, Park Ji Sung, Ryan Giggs, Will Keane, Anderson and Federico Macheda being used as fringe players and being mostly used for Cup games/games against lesser opposition.

I personally think these signings are realistic and if they happened our squad would be set up to compete at the very highest level for years to come.
