do you think we will jus stick with what weve got iv we dont get moura? . i think we could probly call it a day in terms of signing a midfieler as we keep getting knocked back or out priced on targets im not moaning about the club because i think we are trying . but i just wonder how many plan b,s fergie has im guessing modric an hazzard were his top targets now moura . iv not kagawa may play a bit deeper with clevs quite good that . i personally still think there are plenty of midfielders out ther who would improve us but i dont think fergie shares the same opinion . i still think moutinho is available iv were quick.

Yeah that's kinda contradictory hah***

and this: Brazilian side Santos say they will not stop highly-rated midfielder Ganso from leaving this summer after confirming he does not want to play for the club anymore. The starlet has been linked with a Premier League move, with Manchester United and Chelsea thought to be keen.

this: There are a number of promising Brazilian players at the centre of transfer speculation this summer, with fresh reports today suggesting Manchester United have tabled a bid of around £26million for Lucas Moura. However, Sao Paulo insist they are ready to ‘take the risk’ of not selling the midfielder. by @SkySportsLewis 11:54 AM

Don't see us signing him, he doesn't fit the profile of the signings we have made over the last number of seasons. He is a big gamble and they are big amounts of money being talked about. I really hope we sign him as he is undoubtedly extremely talented and would be a really exciting signing, probably the most promising talent we have signed since Ronaldo.

I just don't have confidence in us tieing up big deals any more, Hazard, Sneijder, Villa, Benzema etc. Hopefully I will be proved wrong though!

Really don't see how things could have changed so drastically from just 12 hours ago. Papers desperate to get more viewers sitting down reading their papers with their Saturday brew it seems to me. Yesterday we had seemingly reliable quotes from the Sao paulo manager and today nothing to that extent, so IMO we are in the same position as we were yesterday. Just got to sit it out and wait on some more reliable info.

It's quite simple really, if the papers start a story they can change it as and when they see fit.

Strange how people believe the papers when they say positive things about a deal, but not when they say negative things about the same transfer. They quoted the Sao Paulo Presidnet in both the positive and the negative versions of the story, but people on here are saying there are no quotes in the negative version............blinkered !!!

Personally I do hope we do get him, in fact I would be extactic. I think it will give the whole club and all the fans a massive lift plus send out a strong signal to the competition, but I'm not too convinced it will happen. So all we can do is wait and see and try not to get too excited as it might just end the same way as Hazard and many other sbefore him.

wonder what happened to the most active user, no complaining today are we, how refreshing, as for Lucas, if we can het him for £26m that would be a amazing, Hats off to SAF if he pulls off this one, might even meet them half way and offer 29m which is still good, SAF doesn't want to pay the full £32m because no one else is near to matching our bid, where as Hazard had 4 clubs all willing to pay the £32m so Man Utd had to offer £32m, but in this case the next offer on the table which are from Real might be around £23m this is just guess work thats why United feel as though they already have the best offer on the table.

in my opinion the ball is in our court, if we offer a little more we will sign him

maybe but i am sure sao paulo would want more money. if by august 1st he hasnt moved then we wont be getting him as his family's sell on fee % would have increased to 30%

true..i saw that as well....but thought that if SSN believe it to be a credible source maybe the daily fail didnt publish a completely made up story this time..

Sky sports news arnt exactly the most reliable when it comes to rumours, they do find out deals being done fairly quickly but sometimes the rumours they publish can be way off the mark. They have a tendancy to quote so much of a statement to make it either look good or really bad, i wouldnt trust what they said until something official has been published.

Whether this is true or not who knows as it was on Tribal football website. I would love to see Moura here whether we can sign him time will tell.
