Gardos is nearly done. Rojo, Vlaar, Van Dijk and Byram on the radar. Midfield is very strong, especially if Morgan stays. Ideally, we should be looking at a proven striker and a winger and if we can, I reckon we will be in a position better than that of last years.

Gardos nearly done believable, why do you think the others are definitely players we are pursuing?

2.) 11 Aug 2014
With lots of change!

Id be surprised if were still pursuing van djik, yes we enquired but believe were put off by price and news coming out earlier was moving on from byram if you think about it we bid around 5 mil? There's no way the board are guna splash 7, 8 mil on a back up

Or a versatile striker who can play on the wing as well as up top like Jay

I think the Rojo deal will be off because his agent is asking for too much and Porto need to cash in a lot of money to get their 25% cut. Vlaar won't be bought if Gardos is finalised I think. Byram is highly rated and IMO is worth up to 7/8 million. I think he's worth more than McCormack who was 11 million. I reckon Gardos/Byram and a Winger and Striker. Maybe Kevin Volland (German) who is capable of both.

I agree Jamie, byram has got a lot of potential and is probably worth the 7, 8 mil and with McCormack well let's just say Fulham got their pants fully pulled down on that deal

Porto huh. that will be news to their chairman Pinto da Costa

Man utd have officially bid for rojo, apparently meeting sportings asking price. that's him off our radar now

We seemed to play Chambers and Clyne in rotation last season to good effect and I think we could do the same with Clyne and Byram. Obviously very good if one gets injured because we have a cover LB in Targett, but not a cover RB. A winger/striker I believe should be a big focus for our last signing. Maybe for that number 7 shirt.

Rojo is at Sporting CP not Porto, our bid was pretty close to there asking price though wasn't it? I thought they wanted around £17m and we bid like £13 or £14m, so may as well bid up the extra money as he'd be a quality signing, before Man U's bid is accepted!

11.) 12 Aug 2014
Sorry yeah I meant Sporting. His agent realised how much more money he wanted from the deal though and said he could get more at other clubs. Unless we cough up more that £17mill then we won't have a chance, and I think there are others we can sign for that price
