Casemiro is already on loan at Porto

United are paying Nani 120k per week to play for Sporting Lisbon.
Liverpool will be paying 90k for Balotelli to play for them.

I think we can all see who is getting ripped off here.

Both Reus and Muller rejected United's big money offer. Balotelli is a more mature player now with his time at AC. I would rather have him at 90k a week than Rooney at 300K a week. Rooney strops constantly and United give in to his demands by bumping up his pay. Way to set an example of extortionate fee's with someone who likes to spend his spare with granny escorts.

Balotelli is much better fitted to Liverpool than Cavani or Falcao. To sign them would require a lot of adjustment and I think they are likely to upset the flow. If you listen to those who watch Italian football week in week out and the management around Mario, they've been very impressed since he moved. I don't see how Sturridge wouldn't be happy with the move, it means he has a partner up top and less pressure on him.

NO such offers were made...conclusively denied by MAN UTD! - What a load of crap, Balotelli is more mature - yeah right!

Till he gets subbed or the ball taken off him in training. Just what Liverpool need, some more trash - Would be saying the exact opposite if he went Arsenal. So predictable, great when it suits Liverpool!

Very good player, not what Liverpool need, even SSNHQ comparing him to Sturridge, will go down well with him NOT - Sturridge only scored his amount due to jaws, Balotelli is self righteous and 100% self centered so it will be one or the other on the pitch.

Denied because it would be damaging the reputation of the club. You want to believe that you aren't affected by no CL, you yourself said you had bid for Reus and Muller said he rejected you so I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Juve have said Vidal will only go to United if he says he wants to go, and I think it would've been in the media.

Well he hit the ground running in Milan, and still had a decent return in a team as bad as United last season. He'll be told what is expected of him in personal terms, there won't be an issue and he is a similar type to Sturridge with plenty of CL and International experience. He was a striker that could've worked for Arsenal, they need a striker too. I've been impressed with him and AC and I'm happy for him to join at a bargain price.

Saying Sturridge only scored because of Suarez is one of the most biased opinions. Sturridge scored when Suarez wasn't playing, you do come out with done ridiculous stuff but that is near the top. Balotelli is certainly more proven than the players United have signed. Why not take a lead out of your own book and give him your magical 3 month settling period. He's more of a role model than Rooney, Giggs, Keane, Cantona, etc. but you agent acknowledged that. In fact you just refer to other players derogatorily, how mature.

But Wayne Rooney's 300K a week isn't? Oooook.....typical deluded United fan...

Looks like United are getting increasingly desperate now...

Leaked to the press by themselves they are going for Reus, Hummels Muller, when all 3 laughed them off United are denying anything to do with it despite the players themselves claiming it.

Vidal has gave no indication whatsoever of wanting to join United, in fact on the contrary came out and said he was happy at United.

Benatia has apparently told them he doesn't want to join a club without CL football and is now favouring a move to Bayern.

My guess is next United will put in another overpriced bid in for Cuadrado, and probably get knocked back by him to go join someone else too.

Latest news is United are after Khedira and Alonso.

Probably leaked by the club again to show their fans they are still being ambitious, but Alonso would never go to United, plus the fact he signed a new deal last winter... just not going to happen.

Why would Khedira turn down other offers like Arsenal PSG Chelsea to go join a 7th placed team with no Champions league?

Di Maria favours a move to PSG and it looks like Falcao could go the other way...

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

May I suggest Ash that your ridiculous bitterness is towards the fact that the top 4 from last season have strengthened and United have probably weakened... and you are a bit jealous.

Remember United fans calling Liverpool fans delusional, now your time has come to fill those shoes... enjoy.

Oh and in non United related news...

Maybe Sunderland got a bit bored of waiting for Borini to make his mind up, but either way Salah is a decent player and will do a good job for whoever he plays for.

a born finisher whens he ever been top scorer darren bent had 3 injuries and scored more goals the him spud a finisher lmao

coutinho shocking today sterling other then goal did very little henderson man of the match clyne sounthamtons man of the match southampton unlucky not to get a draw

johnson absolute no ethic in tracking back for southamptons goal he walks back instead of getting back and blocking or getting a tackle in shocking

Very nervy performance but we held on, the defence learned from their goal to stop it the second time where last season it might've cracked and conceded a few.

First half we limited them well whilst looking a threat, it wasn't the rip roaring attack we had last season but it's done it's job and is an improvement. Second half we didn't create so much, though we did have a bit of an edge on the counter which Southampton needed a bit more of to get another goal.

Very impressive debut from Tadic, Schneiderlin woke up after we took the lead and looked a good performer. Sturridge is the natural finisher who will be our most important player, like I said. Sterling superb as always with Henderson and Coutinho having a decent game. Defence wasn't too bad, It looks like it could come together nicely but needs to improve. Lambert coming on made the difference, very well done Brendan, he won the second phase ball which lead to the winner which is exactly the sort of thing we need him to do. Then we dug in deep and didn't let them score. Great save by Mignolet, awful header afterwards even though it was a foul on Johnson.

what was u watching coutinho done nothing gerrard nothing sterling not much johnson shocking manquillo can not tackle or track back was awfull but it was 1st game have to be a lot better against city on monday

So United go from the success of Ferguson, to finishing 7th not bringing the required players in and having another invincible record of theirs lost and they haven't gone downhill? They haven't shown signs of improvement of last season other than pre-season which means nothing more than fitness of the teams. They can't be on an uphill path until they improve, and they haven't improved from last season so far.

I didn't say Liverpool would win anything, so please keep to the truth and don't make things up. Please tell me how based on their performance against Swansea, that they're going to challenge for the top 4. If you actually read what I said, you'd understand that. I expect them to reinforce and improve, but if they don't then they won't get near CL football. Unless you think their performance on Friday was worthy of a CL place?

Yes, and it's a fairly obvious fact. The team is improved, but there's a Suarez shaped hole. One player doesn't make the team, and we have a fairly good record of replacing players. Torres = Carroll + Suarez. Yeah, Carroll wasn't the big success his price tag suggested but he came up with some important goals for us. Would you rather have him and Suarez or Torres though?

no one knew how to play carroll till it was half way threw the season the lad had 2 big a price on his head cause of fat ashley rodgers gave him no chance same as martin kelly who is much better then flanno and johnson

easy cause no suarez his goals will be a big miss could of been bottom half with out them

why wont lambert not score 20 he scored a fair few at southampton and never played all time if given a chance he could but hell only be a sub

i dont like rotating why change a winning team but i understand why they do it but think this could cost us silverware

city fans sang it at newcastle

dpends if ballos stays in bo had no striker in box all game against saints he had allen in better position then sturidge
dont think ballotelli is as good as falcao or cavani but hes a good addition if he gets service and plays in right position

better then spud and cheaper

great signing better then borini
