If Bayern are selling Robben then we should waste no time getting him. Best winger in th world when fit
...
He isn't the best winger in the world when fit. There are so many others who are better when fully fit. Nani, Neymar, Hazard, Lucas, alexis sanches...

---------------------------------

Lol no, robben is the best winger in the world when fit. Neymar, lucas and hazard are no where near yet and nani? are you having a laugh. sanchez is hit and miss too.
Robben has been great in the champs league for years now.

You've listed at best 2 wingers.

And none are better than robben.

As an out and out winger the only guy better is Ribery.

In fairness I rate Ribery too stretty, all bayerns good moves start with him

Roberys goal and assist return for the last five years is incredible, no other winger comes close.

And I'm sure you've seen all of these players enough to make a judgement on whether they're all better?

I'd love Robben to come to United. He's 29 so still has 3 more good years in him easily.

He does have a tainted injury record, however he's not going to cost a lot as his contract is almost up and he's nearly 30.

I would obviously prefer Ronnie to come back or even Bale to join....but realistically that's not looking likely.

Robben could be worth a gamble I reckon. I'v seen figures as low as 8-10m mentioned for him. Bargain.

In fact we could shift Ashley Young out and get robben for near enough nothing.

Guardiola is the luckiest manager ever. Hasn't even taken over yet the club have already bought the leagues second best team's 2 best players

He won't even have to do anything and he'd win the bundlesliga and German cup. I hope he tries to change too much and forces his team to play like barca otherwise bayern will be near unstoppable

The Bundesliga has some great qualities, ticket prices, safe standing, atmosphere, brilliant young players and a strong national team but it isn't particularly competitive, there's one Über Klub and a few outsiders in Dortmund and Shalke and then it's all much of muchness through out the league and Bayern collecting al of the best players and the best manager isn't going to help the league.

I'd go mad with joy if we ever signed Robben. For m he is the best winger in the world

Given the form of our wingers last season, it would be naive not to show an interest if he was available.

From what's been said though, he may well stay at Bayern yet. I think that's what he wants to do.

Robbed would do more harm than good. Not worth the gamble in my opinion

It looks like Real are bidding £60mil for bale having missed out on Neymar which would've hurt them considering they feel they are the pinnacle of football for any footballer. Bale will either stay or move to real

Ronaldo won't come back. I can't see us competing in the transfer market with Chelsea, city, real or even bayern and barca. Going to be a long season next year

If ffp works and I doubt it will you do realise the pl will be exactly the same and utd will just Hoover up the best talent?

Not a bad thing for utd fans but horrendous for everyone else.

Dortmund do however have an amazing scouting team. They pluck players out that are quality

I'm sure that Guardiola would have had some say in Lewandowski going to Bayern. He may not yet have officially been the manager, but they're not going to bring new players in at this stage without consulting him first.

I really can't stand Guardiola. Such a

Didn't Bale say he wants to stay in England?

Arsenal and Liverpool would be competitive in a sugar daddy free environment.

Arsenal have the stadium and finances to compete with United now. Liverpool will get their new stadium before too long as well.

City and Chelsea won't be going anywhere either. They may be restricted on what they can spend but they will find ways of competing.

The PL's future is healthy.

Lewandowski is the oppsite type of striker to Messi, more similar to ibra and he clearly didn't work under guardiola's system at barca

Will be interesting to see what type of football baleen play next season. With Martinez, schweingster, gotze supplying balls to forwards tho, I doubt they're going to struggle for goals regardleas

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't think he's said anything of the sort other than he'd like to play abroad one day.

Next season he'll be a Spurs player or a Madrid one. Simple as that. United don't stand a chance of getting him.

I agree and with Fergie gone and coaches leaving, I think players will think twice before joining us. We may well be going through a transition phase

To make things worse city and Chelsea are bringing in top class managers who will obviously be given hundreds of millions to spend

Moyes is going to have a tough first season IMO

Exactly who authorises these moves? Is it the board themselves, if so, is one a Bayern Munich fan?

I appreciate that they want to 'move' on to supposedly much better things, [considering Dortmund won the league 2 years straight, came second now and reached a C.L final], why have the board decided to kill of it's own ambition?

It's one thing selling a player abroad [Lewandowski didn't exactly struggle to attract a club], but to sell them to your one and only competitor, you have to wonder who's bright idea this all is.

The fans are probably the best around at the moment, must be so frustrating watching their own board be their worst enemy.

Pelligrini has hardly won a bean in his career. Not that concerned about him personally.

And I doubt City and Chelsea will spend 100m net between the two of them never mind each.

They can't throw their financial muscle around anymore or risk being booted out of Europe.

I think the only way we would get Bale is offering a player or 2 plus cash. Let's be honest, none of us know what Bale is thinking, but just as most Spanish players would want to play for Barca or Real, most homegrown players probably would chose Utd, after the team they supported as a kid.

Under Jose, Chelsea will push for the title next season.

To be fair, we don't exactly attract super-stars at this club and I've never really known why. Yes, we create stars but I barely remember the last time we've bought in anyone from outside England that was considered world-class.

We've lost so many times to the likes of Chelsea when bidding for superstars and of course the lure to Barcelona and Real Madrid is to great.

Even though I'm opening myself to a WUMin', if Manchester United was in London, we'd be able to attract anyone.

Financial fair play is a fail.

The sheiks at city will just sign another suspect multi million sponsorship deal to make up for their expenses
