Luka Modric, Nikola Zigic and Daniel Alves, seems good signings..Originally posted by Master -_-:Heard from my internet friend at Manchester..he says Man Utd are eyeing Luka Modric, Nikola Zigic and Daniel Alves
Researched from the net, Modric is not bad leh...only 24...targetted by Arsenal also..
As for Zigic, Vidic recommended him to SAF..and that left SAD very interested in Zigic..and negotiations are on the way...almost same height if not taller than Crouch
i think can confirm one of the signings will be either these three if not all of them
Nikola 2m plus in height.. with Vidic, powerful leh.
but Alves seems very popular, hard to bid.. -

Manchester United will have to rethink their plan to approach Sporting Lisbon about Nani and Atletico Madrid have been priced out of the market after the player penned a new contract with the Portuguese club.
Weeks of speculation have surrounded the gifted 20-year-old with both The Red Devils and Los Colchoneros said to be monitoring his situation as the end of the season approached.
Sporting have moved quickly to ensure that they do not lose out on their prodigy and have thrashed out a new deal that will see his basic salary and bonuses increase.
More importantly, however, is the fact the player, whose full name is Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha, has seen his buy-out clause rise to €30m (£20million).
That figure has ensured that Atletico are no longer in the running and may deter Manchester United into making a concrete approach this summer.
The new deal signed by Nani is a six-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2013, unless one of the continent's most affluent clubs matches his buy-out clause.
United were reported to be close to finalising a deal earlier this month for around €25m (£17million), but will have to raise their offer to clinch any deal.
Nani has made no secret that he would fancy teaming up again with Cristiano Ronaldo, who also came through the Sporting youth system.
Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to capture the left-winger as he views him as the successor to Ryan Giggs in The Red Devils' side. -
unsure whether MUFC was seriously looking at Nani, if they are, they have really c@ck up again..
so I think they must have someone in mind... cause now, it costs 20M pounds.
Strangely, in tribafootball, it reports that Nani has not signed... -
at least Michael Owen is out of equation, read that his 5M annual wages and his injury have evaporated his chances of joining MUFC.

i hope Nani and Bales comes. Sell Silvestre. Get a good replacement for G. Neville. And maybe a top striker.

one of the better news.
Blades may swoop for Richardson
BRYAN Robson's first job as the new Sheffield United boss could be to persuade Kieran Richardson to leave Old Trafford.
The former United captain has started his new role as Blades manager with Brian Kidd as his Bramall Lane assistant.
Please leave, KR.. -

-
funnily, i heard and read that transfer market only opens on 31st May, but looking at Chelsea, they got Sidwell, Spurs got a few, Gunners got a keeper.
Is it they verbally agree and wait till 31st may to officially sign?
if that's the case, can any other team butt in and hijack?
so paiseh, support MUFC for so many years, but never manage to get the technicals about these signing procedures right. -
think shall be contract signed, but the transfer of the player itself only take place after 31st may... meaning sidwell will be trainning at reading till 30th may. And chelsea on 31st may...Originally posted by iceFatboy:funnily, i heard and read that transfer market only opens on 31st May, but looking at Chelsea, they got Sidwell, Spurs got a few, Gunners got a keeper.

Reds hunt for Klaas
Stuart Mathieson
29/ 5/2007
UNITED are going Dutch in their pursuit of a hitman to boost their Euro tilt next term.
With anchorman midfielder Owen Hargreaves officially coming on board at Old Trafford today for more than £17m, the Reds will step up the chase for Ajax striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
Chief executive David Gill's transfer strategy consists of taking on a number of manager Sir Alex Ferguson's targets and then working to see which door opens.
Dimitar Berbatov is on that wanted list, but Tottenham are determined to keep the Bulgarian, who made such an impressive debut campaign in England, scoring 16 goals in domestic competitions and seven in the UEFA Cup.
But Ferguson could have more joy in Holland, where he has been linked all season with Huntelaar.
The 23-year-old has scored 36 goals in all competitions this term from 49 appearances, taking his two-year career in Amsterdam to an impressive 60 strikes in 74 appearances.
Huntelaar's haul this term includes nine goals in nine appearances in Europe, as he has scored in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.
But Ferguson's Dutch spies will also have taken note of the man who replaced Huntelaar at his previous club Heerenveen.
Astonishing
Brazilian Alfonso Alves has been in astonishing form for Heerenveen since arriving at the club from a five-year stint in Sweden.
Alves was the Golden Boot winner in the Dutch Eredivisie this season, scoring 34 goals in 31 games, including five hat-tricks.
Four goals on the final day of the season against Feyenoord was a reminder to all suitors of the 26-year-old South Americans scoring prowess.
Heerenveen have an impressive pedigree for unearthing goalscorers, with Alves and Huntelaar following Ruud van Nistelrooy through their ranks.
Fernando Torres at Atletico Madrid is still interesting Fergie, who reportedly met his representatives in Paris last summer.
Torres has been at Atletico since he was a kid – and as skipper and a prodigy, he has a very close bond with the club.
But the 23-year-old admitted recently: “It is important that Spanish players go to another league. All those in England have grown as players; they are more complete.”
Suspect
While strikers are the priority now that Hargreaves has been signed United may still have to spend some cash in defence.
Gabriel Heinze, who has looked suspect all season, seems set to leave Old Trafford, with Real Madrid in pole position. Having lost out to Tottenham for Gareth Bale, a one-time strong position could now look weak with Patrice Evra and Mikael Silvestre left to fight for the berth.
United could now turn their attentions to WiganÂ’s England Under-21 international Leighton Baines.
Meanwhile, United are battling with Tottenham to land Nani from Sporting Lisbon.The 20-year-old Portuguese winger, dubbed the next Cristiano Ronaldo, is aiming to follow his countryman’s footsteps and is considering joining the Premiership.Going to England is one of my options because the Premiership is one of the best leagues in the world and it will be a big challenge. But I have not made up my mind about a club,” he said.

Hargreaves Set To Seal United Move
Owen Hargreaves will reportedly sign for Manchester United from Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The England midfielder agreed terms and passed his medical last week and the £17million deal is expected to be tied up shortly, according to the Manchester Evening News.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been chasing Hargreaves since last summer and Bayern have eventually decided to cash in as they prepare for next season without Champions League football.
Hargreaves said: "I have been lucky to play in big games and win some wonderful titles. I have won everything a player can in Germany - titles, the Champions League and even the World Club Championship.
"It is now about experiencing that somewhere else and I can't wait to start over again. The prospect of adding a Premiership winner's medal to my collection is incredibly exciting." -

Man Utd swoop for Irish superkid ahead of Liverpool
Manchester United are swooping for Irish superkid Shay Brady.
The Sunday Mirror says the 16-year-old is already in the first team at St Patrick's in the Irish League, and United are prepared to sign him on a £5,000-aweek deal in January when he is 17.
But Liverpool are fierce rivals for the Republic of Ireland youth international, and even invited him to the Champions League Final. -

Flamengo reveal Man Utd approach for Renato
Manchester United have made a move for Flamengo sensation Renato Augusto.
Flamengo's vice-president, Kleber Leite, confirmed United had made an approach yesterday while talking to local reporters at the Maracana.
United had asked about Renato's availability next month, but Leite insists the youngster wants to stay with Fla.
Indeed, earlier this week, Renato said: "It is nice to know Europe clubs are following me. But I want to stay with Flamengo and make history with this club. I want to be as well known as Andrade and Adilo at Flamengo."
Renato is tied to Fla until 2010 and his contract carries a £20 million buyout clause.
