Utd fans are funny. We don't sign a midfielder "No value? Fuck off Gill and fuck the Glazers" We are linked to one of the better midfielders in the Euros and it's "Yeah he's ok but I wouldn't spend 25 million on him" Bizarre! u do have a very valid point though!

I remember making a similar point when people started freaking out over the terms of the Ashley Young deal. Both are good players in positions we need(ed) to strengthen. I'd rather overpay and get called a cheque book team than miss out and suffer on the pitch.

Surely if you question the money being spent on a player then you are agreeing with Fergies "no value" statement?

Martinez is all we need really. Can't see us getting him though

Isn't Martinez primarily used as a defender though for Bilbao?

good player. worth £25 million imo. but Sir Alex hinted that he is working on getting a player or two that he has been working on for a while. so my guess is Baines and Strootman are his main targets.

Cant understand why some people are so hung up on how much money to spend. These bastards{glazers} are rotten with it. You usually have to overpay to snag a top player. Wish they would get Baines and bring in a top spanish {portugese?} midfielder and then we will be set. And hope Berba will stay.

And hope Berba will stay. because we care that longterm the club will be in trouble if we are not prudent. even if we had the money i for one am not into silly spending. there are 2 players that one can really justify paying silly money for and thats ron and messi, if beckham were 15 years younger then throw him in as marketing wise you'll get your money back. cabaye is a decent shout probably cost alot less than moutinho. i expect moutinho to move somewhere for about 25 million whereas cabaye would be 15 million, as said he has had a season in the prem and did well. i for one dont think we are in a for those type of players. leftback and a dm who is mobile is what i suspect is on the cards.

Martinez is more or less nailed on to go to Bayern, so forget him.
Moutinho will be perfect for us. He can tackle, pass, create, get beyond defences with runs, can take a set-piece. I think he has all the tools necessary to succeed here, and would be very excited to see a midfield 3 of him, Carrick and Kagzilla.

If Beckham were 15 years younger, he'd still be here... Also, from what I've read, Cabaye's been priced out of any enquiry made about him this Summer. Hearing anything from £25mill to £35mill.
