All quiet on the red side...

What not only United fans want but football fans want is some hard concrete evidence (fergie) stating were in for this player or that player and bids being made... genuine activity

If you actually thought this through, you would realize what an idiot you sound.

Was thinking the same

I don't see how announcing our targets to the world would benefit the club at all

UNITEDALWAYS&4EVA

I prefer Modric, not necessarily because he's a better player but because I think he fits the Scholes-shaped hole in our squad better. I may be wrong, but the things that have impressed me about Sneijder have been the things he has done in the last third of the field. I have no doubt he is one of the best attacking midfielders / number 10s in the world at the moment. But we don't have much space for that kind of player if we intend to play attacking wide forwards (cf. recruitment of Young in addition to Nani and Valencia) and were at our most effective last season with Rooney operating behind Hernandez.

Maybe Sneijder can work well further back but I don't think we'd see the best of him there. Meanwhile, we don't always succeed in controlling midfield with neat passing and comfortable possession. Modric is a master at that game and very good at feeding the wings / forwards.

We NEED a big name signing
--------------------------------------------
Pathetic.... would you prefer Hernandez or Torres as our striker next year? Only one of those was a "big name signing", last season.

We have already made a marque signing in De Gea... 2nd most expensive keeper in history... but I guess, as he is not an attacking player, that doesn't count, right?

Lets look at this logically and I will use some of your statings to assist my point.
United are one of the most prestigious clubs in world football most would agree.
along with barca, real, inter etc.
Why would any player want to go to either barca or real right now??? they wont get a bloomin game! no matter how much money either through at them therefore putting united in a better position.
with the likes of inter, ac milan, juve .... they havent got the sort of money the figures for some of these stars have been reported!
why oh why any player would want to play for citeh?>> unless its money.
arsenal wont ever spend any money -nothing to worry about there leaving chelsea as the only realistic threat to any transfer target.
and before anybody starts going on about villareal, valencia, roma, etcetc we are MANCHESTER UNITED not some 3rd rate team¬!!!!!

I wonder whether Sir Alex is going to unearth a new gem to understudy for Anderson. That seems more realistic as I cant see someone coming in ahead of Anderson now he is finally healthy. We paid a bomb for him as a teenager

Mind you, if we signed Modric I wouldn't complain.

ji sung agree with u about hernandez and de gea but yes i am desperate for an AM!! get sneijder in!

i see your point just personally dont rate him especially at £22 MIL never mind anymore than that. just think we need some 'ronaldoesque' factor back in the team the flair and skill!

'dont rate him especially at £22 MIL'

Given the prices attached to the likes of Henderson and Jones, I tend to agree with the Spurs management that £22m is well below market rate for Modric.

Three of the hottest potential transfers of the Summer could be Fabregas Sanchez and Tevez

Two of them want to go to Barca and the third wants out of the UK

We seemingly have not bid for Sneijder, He appears to want to stay at Inter anyway and at 27, he may be a tad old for us to pay a bomb for now

Modric is not possible in my opinion as I doubt United/Spurs valuations are going to be close anyway. And Levy has said categorically that they will not sell him for any amount anyway

Nasri is the only plausable one and if he wants stupid money, then City will land him in my opinion

agree there again i suppose lol
