So many stupid transfer rumours and made up quotes about PSG and Monaco, what a surprise. Is this... jealousy? :D

AFAIK PSG players don't have release clause in their contracts.

Marquinhos to PSG almost done, can anybody tell us more about him?


Kid from Brazil who carried a shitty Roma defence in his debut season. Has the knack to position well and understands the flow of the game very well at his age. Only notable problem at the moment to his game is his height (5ft 11) and possibly physicality, but at a very young age, the sky's the limit for him.

lol @ higuain comment - why would he go to a manager who didn't play him in real madrid.
the same shit's going to happen if he ends up at chelsea.

also so much for that 'rooney or bust' motif.

Indeed that is very confusing, im not sure what is what there lol. Id rather Rooney than Higuain just because Rooney is used to the Prem and Higuain might take a season to find his feet

Well he didn't say it, a reporter sheepishly suggested it on the back end of one of his comments and he assented, I find it hard to believe he even understands the phrase tbh, even though he is a skilled linguist.

But yeah, with the amount of money people are throwing about and the fact that Chelsea spent so much on hazard and oscar last year, I think we don't have that many targets now PSG and Monaco are muscling in. These next few seasons in the french league are going to be even worse than the curbstomping spectacle that is RM/Barcelona raping everyone in the Liga.

It's being reported that Arsenal are going to sign Atletico Mineiro's Brazilian winger Bernard (skills video).

If this is true, hopefully we'll get to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain playing in central midfield more often.

Bernard can play CM too, he showed so much potential in the total of 40 odd minutes he played for Brazil, looked a great classy talent. He could quite easily be Oscar level of potential, but you never know with Brazilians these days.

Personally if i was him. £15million bid for Bainese and (release fee) £24 million for Felaini and thats 2 great signings. Then move on to a kid signing for future like a Van Ginkel/Bernard. Then scout around for any other signings Bale/Cesc

baines would only cause problems for the other 2 young LBs. fellaini i feel is a last resort if we really cant land anyone. and we recently just got zaha back whos quite young, januzaj seems to have been promoted from reserves too, so i dont think we need any more young signings.

What a bizarre set of opinions (imo). Firstly, the first thing you should want is for the new manager to bring in previous personnel who he KNOWS are of top quality. This often yields great results. Secondly, Fellaini is the exact sort of player Man U have been missing for a long time now. Thirdly, what the hell has happened to peoples' memories? Did you guys not see Fellaini's performance and goalscoring record in the PL in the last two seasons? The guy has been playing insanely good, far better than Dembele who has been lauded as a top quality player and a great signing. He is a goalscoring CDM with range. Basically Viera with a fro. Disciplinary record schmisciplinary record...he's better than Suarez!!

In terms of Zaha, who cares about Zaha, he won't get more than a handful of games in man U he should be loaned out to Fulham or Southampton or something. Fellaini isn't a young signing and obviously Baines isn't. He's an experienced player who would teach the younger players an INCREDIBLE work ethic. He's one of the best and hardest workers in English football and if it weren't for the fact that arguably the best LB in the world is playing for England already, he would be a certified starter for the national team come rain or shine.

i never said fellaini was bad. i said hes a last resort. strootman would have been a good choice, thiago too, but we missed our chance. and id be willing to bet that most other man utd fans would probably take fabregas over fellaini if we could too. and who cares about zaha? how about the guys who bought him. why wouldnt he get more than a handful of games? if our current wingers dont pick up their form this season either, it could easily be a chance for zaha to earn himself a regular spot in the starting 11. baines is good too, but we already have 3 other LBs. evra is still useful and fabio and buttner are young. no space for baines unless we sell evra now or plan on selling on of the younger players later.

Okay I don't know why Fellaini would be a last resort. His position is the ONLY ONE you don't have quality in!!!!! And he's cheap as chips AND the manager knows him and can get the best out of him AND he wants to move there. Why just some random player like strootman when you could get a proven thoroughbred for bargain basement price?! He's as valuable as Toure but cheaper and younger.

Cesc and Thiago are far less needed than Fellaini. Kagawa, Nani, Young, Zaha (edit: okay maybe not zaha on this list owing to my later comments ), Valencia all quality attacking players, you need some better defensive midfielders other than carrick anderson and Cleverly (actually where the hell does he play he seems kinda lame, like a poor man's Wilshere).

Zaha just isn't good enough to take a place off Valencia or Nani, or Young. He's slower with less team sense and way too little experience.

Regarding LB - play fabio RB, ship evra to PSG for a tasty fee, and use buttner as understudy to Baines, who will get the entire defensive line focused and be a good role model for Jones.
