Dang, I had an unrealistic fantasy of Hummels at Utd :/

Expecting any player to come to Utd these days seems an unrealistic fantasy!

Really because Hummels team mate disagrees!

Nani > your favourite player (unless it's Van Persie of course)

Moving away from CB's , the Jordi Alba thingy is something i am looking forward. Start of the month or so, Alba was off to barca sold and deal closed, now we are in with Barca.

I know for many its a foregone conclusion that he will be off to Barc , but this one hasn't died and kinda hope that strange things in Football happened to once with this signing for us.

I noticed that too, saw some reports saying we may offer Anderson + cash. In fairness I would take that he looks a nifty little fullback with the possibility of playing as a winger. Only problem is he may be a Barca fan, seen as he is a Catalan native & former Barca youth member it can't be ruled out that they would be his first choice.

Yeah, I think we can all work that one out That's why it would be interesting.

This is a truly excellent service you provide here Tatty by the way. I have been able to avoid the BBC England obsess-o-fest and garish yellow of the football sports section of the website for days. It's great. Many thanks and keep it up please!

You're welcome, Bestie!

No transfer goss from the BBC site, but it sees the 'Rio Omission Row' rumble on:

Patrice Evra, 31, has expressed his surprise at the omission of Manchester United team-mate Ferdinand from England's Euro 2012 squad.

Former England defender Sol Campbell, 37, says he will tell the FA to take back his 73 caps if it is ever proven true that John Terry was chosen over Rio Ferdinand because of race.
