January 2014 Transfer Window

[Gazz]

Roman does need a bigger boat.

[EddieG]

PSV and Fulham have come to an agreement to loan Bryan Ruiz to the Dutch club until the end of the season, just waiting on Bryan Ruiz to agree.

[Liam]

Could probably do with some money for him, rather than a loan.

[GoN_]

There's a rumor, that was actually the first page of one of our sports newspapers, that Matic has come to terms with Chelsea for a comeback, and doesn't want to play this Sunday's big match against Porto, for fear of getting injured.

There might be an option to buy in there. Is he on a lot per week? This would free some of that up.

There's a lot of slightly different versions of this floating around this at the moment. I just saw a tweet saying that Matic will be confirmed as a Chelsea player on Tuesday, and in the meantime he won't be a part of the Porto game. In other words, pretty much the same idea only with less of a 'Matic strop' angle.

Either way, looking forward to seeing this afternoon's teamsheet.

We're being heavily linked with both de Jongs, and Jonas has tweeted a thank you to fans so looks to be off. I'm wearing my blue Jonas top today so look for me ont telly...

No option to buy, apparently.

[Starvinho]

Anderson going to Fiorentina apparently. Not heard anything official as of yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is true!

[Crybaby Bunting]

yes because what United needs right now are less midfielders

[Jimmy]

Well yeah, they need less shit midfielders and more good ones. Sell an under performing player to help fund a better replacement. Makes sense to me.

[Starvinho]

Ando to Fiorentina, Nani to Sporting Lisbon and Zaha to Cardiff is the latest. All loan deals too by the looks of it. Neville was scouting in Spain and Moyes in Italy over the weekend so it does like we're looking for potential replacements.

[brenchill]

Phil Neville? What's he know about scouting?

[Colly]

He's got his woodwork badge and is excellent at knots.

[EddieG]

Phil Neville? What's he know about scouting?

As much as Moyes.

[METALMAN]

That's just a silly thing to say. Moyes has discovered and bought some fantastic players for peanuts: Cahill, Arteta, Jagielka, Lescott, Coleman, Baines, Pienaar, Mirallas...

[Crybaby Bunting]

If they're all loans then it makes even less sense, it's one thing to cash in on them so you can get new players, it's another thing to just temporarily get them off the books without getting three replacements that are just as good as, if not better than those.

Anderson is still only 25. If he went to Fiorentina and actually managed to get into shape and find some form, there could still be hope for him. If it doesn't work out, we ship him out after the loan spell (that's if it even happens in the first place anyway, which I'm not too convinced it will). Zaha out on loan makes complete sense considering Moyes just refuses to give the guy a run in the side, may as well let him get some PL experience. Nani is fucking Nani, I'm not even sure what to say about him anymore.

There's certainly no need to cash in on any of those three, we're far from strapped for cash. Plenty of funds.

[Crybaby Bunting]

That's not the point I was making, removing three players (ok, lets just ignore Zaha and say two) from your first team squad and not bringing at least two people in is silly because it thins out the overall squad, it's one thing to say that you've got academy prospects that could fill in better than Nani or Anderson for the occasional match, but it's another to pick up an injury and have to depend on them.

Well, he played the whole match.
