ClydebankBearWATP 877 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Looks like Koalas Manolas could be on his way to Arsenal. 23yr old CB. Left out of olympiakos's squad for tomorrow's friendly with an "injury" good signing if it happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,433 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 With Man Utd rumoured to be closing in on £20m for Daley Blind, I ask, why are they spending £55m on left backs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethemighty 186 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 With Man Utd rumoured to be closing in on £20m for Daley Blind, I ask, why are they spending £55m on left backs?Think Blind is going to be deployed as a DM they are also signing the Argentine Rojo, supposedly also announcing a marqee signing soon either di Maria or Vidal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Southampton bid £12Million for Shane Long.Oh dear.I thought that was just paper talk.Long is a decent player, I've always liked him but he's never worth 12 million. If they sell him Hull will have doubled their money in 6 months Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillete 1,338 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Martin Kelly close to signing for Crystal Palace from Liverpool.No fee being mentioned though.I rate Kelly better than Johnson & Flanagan but I'm sure due to Flanagan having more versatility in able to play left back also , he's decided to move Kelly onHe was in the England Euro 2012 Squad before he got the 2 leg breaksThe guy is a great signing for palace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Is Rojo not a natural centre half who basically just filled in there for Argentina because they didn't have anybody else who was any use in that poaition?I think Blind is the same. Played left back early on his career but has spent the past couple of seasons in midfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,651 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Probably because the wing backs are the key position in Uniteds new formationLuke Shaw is injured for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wully 46,769 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Everton loan Atsu from Chelsea, iam sure the fan boys can tell me all about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Even if they get Rojo I think Man Utd need another centre half too.I wouldn't be comfortable going into a Premiership season with Smalling & Evans as first picks every week.That aside their team is starting to look pretty decent.
