I don't want us to splunk stupid money around. It's not necssary and it's a bit of a waste imo.

We don't need Baines and to be honest I don't want to take a starter from Everton and sit him on our bench. We certainly don't need RVP.

We just really need a midfielder and maybe a promising young left back.

I don't want us to, I was pointing out that we could, I should probably have made that clear.. Sorry!

Midfielder in Modric, a promising young left back I believe we couldn't do worse than go for Aurtenetxe of Athletic Bilbao, caught him on tv once or twice and I think he started vs United, impressive.
 
Someone to bridge the gap of Evra's decline and Fabio's emergence as a regular would be fine. Bedimo?

As critical as I've been of Evra's form, the fact he's barely ever been rested hasn't helped him in the long run.

That's if we even hold on to Fabio after this season, if he has a poor season with QPR I imagine he may be moved on for good.
 
I'd be surprised if he was moved on.

He proved in the second half of 2010/11 that he is capable of being a first team regular, with that run in the side at RB.
 
No chance we're gonna get Modric or RvP so don't need to worry about it.

Baines though...can see it happening and I'll feel about it the same way I felt about the Young signing last summer.

A distinct meh combined with a slight 'wtf Fergie?'

Nah, I wouldn't feel the same as I did with Young signing, I wouldn't have any problem with it really at all. good signing and along side Evra would push each other.

I would just priorities other signings over it though.
 
"We could possibly bring one, maybe two more in. Now the European Championships are over, we're trying to bring someone in" - Sir Alex Ferguson

Sounds like we're still in the hunt for Modric, and Baines would probably be the other lad.

Fergie also confirmed that Nick Powell will be developed as a deep creative midfielder instead of the advanced attacking role he had at Crewe, perhaps Fergie sees him as the nex Scholes?
 
Fergie has said that every off season though. 'Working on one or two things' is almost as catch-phrase worthy as 'no value'.

We can't afford Modric, so I'm expecting a relatively random player, which I guess I'm alright with. As long as they're not as injury prone as Cleverley and Ando.

Another south American random would be fine.

Maybe go for Wellington Nem, he has attracted interest for a little while and is on Arsenals radar..
 
Think Wellington is on Arsenal`s payroll already! he just is loaned out to Spain for about 3 yrs :LOL: Chivas has Fabian a real gem CM could cost 4m or less.

Doesn't he play for Fluminese in Brazil?
Sure we're talking about the same player..

Edit - You have a Wellington Silva, two different players, both very talented

Although that Fabian is a good talent as well.

Yep Wellington Nem is definitely in Fluminense. Found out yesterday when playing PES 2012 Libertadores :P

Haven't watched him real life though. Is he that good?

From YouTube videos of his games he's very good, but I think that might just be because he's a young talent in Brazil, but I'd say worth signing up for any team.

Yes he is a Fluminense player. The player Bebo mentioned is Wellington Silva (also came through Flu's youth system and has a contract with Arsenal).

Nem looks really promising. He has a vast repertoire of tricks and feints but, what's most important, he doesn't overdo it. I love that. It is anoying when young Brazilian players who are good at dribbling feel the need to show off all the time. But this kid is different.
He also has blistering pace and a good cross on him.

He really impressed when playing this year's Libertadores, especially in the first match against Boca inside La Bombonera (which makes it all the more impressive a feat). He has great personality.
You could probably find highlights of that match (group stages). He set up Deco for the winner.
On the knockout stages against Boca unfortunately he was injured.

The fact that we sent Martinuccio out on loan to Villareal in order to keep Nem speaks volumes to me.

Of course I'd be gutted if we let him leave too early.

If Fluminense had the financial muscle to compete with European clubs and could have kept some of our players in the last couple of years, we could still have some of the following: Rafael and Fabio (United), Marcelo (Real Madrid) Thiago Silva (Milan), Mariano (Bordeaux), and Dario Conca (Chinese billionaires :P)

Was a big miss last season, hopefully he's fully recovered and we see his form from prior to his injury.

Im hearing we've bid for Lucas Moura, he looks an interesting player but have no idea really what to make of him, Rentboy you seen much of him and if so what you think of him?

Lucas Moura - he seems obviously talented but I fear that he has been a victim of the hype machine that is the media..

But I would also like to hear what Rentboy has on this kid!

I'd rather we didn't fuck about another attacking midfielder.

If Powell has come through as an AMF then keep him there, look what happened with Anderson.

Anderson was a huge mistake.
But the decision to move Powell into a deeper role was taken with consultation with Dario Gradi, so I expect it to be a success.

But I agree that we don't need another attacking midfielder, it would be good to see one of the great young talents at United however.
 
Yeah, that's Petrucci (he's wearing my fav number! :D), because you, Taylor, was talking about offensive midfielders. And here's Veseli with Shinji (no, this is certainly not Park... or maybe... damn):

And I believe he has extended his contract, because he's training with the rest of the team.
