We will play 4231 but if we sign Thiago it would be for the CM spot along side Carrick and that could be a problem he is a fantastic player no question about that but would a midfield with Carrick and Thiago offer enough protection for the defence? I'm not sure about that.

it's rumoured that Real is willing to offer only 43m and that we are willing to spend 60m (which I can see if we sell Rooney for a good price) it's also said that in the contra t which the offered Bale is a release clause of 50m which would kick in next year. So if we are really willing to pay 60m for Bale than Levy might would play hard ...

[quote user="jb1993"]We have invested mainly in young upcoming players in recent seasons, where by we have built a strong foundation for the future in my opinion. I think only one or two squad rotation players will be signed this summer with players such as chica, welbeck, Kagawa and Jones given more of an integral role for our title ...

[quote user="Raydan07"]Oh yeah ***. I forget about our Debt[/quote] Our debt is no problem.

If Rooney leaves to a club outside EPL than 35m if he moves to Chelsea 40m. I just hope that we would invest the money and get Bale.

I don't expect to many players leaving. Anderson and Nani are on there wayout, Evra may also leave if we sign a new LB and the last one which I could see leaving is Rooney if he really pushes for the move. Other than that I can only see some minor player leaving like Macheda and Bebe. I would like us to we sell Valencia and replace him with ...

For me the dream summer would be Bale + Gündogan.

[quote user="rr manutd"]if he wants to go get rid of. HATE players that dont want to be here. ungrateful. fair enough if he is unhappy. but cant see how. too big for his boots. not the player he should be. lets talk replacements maybe : TONI KROOS? REUS? RONALDO WILSHERE? too many out there that could actually make us ...

Agree Gündogan would be my first choice CM.
