Barbosa??

Someone spends too much time blindly following Football Manager...

Danny Ings may move to a big club but only to sit on the bench as a half decent player to fulfill home-grown requirements.

Doesn't he go by the name Gabigol?

If so he is being dubbed "the next Neymar" in Brazil and I know quite a few people who speak VERY highly of him.

Very impressive record for Santos too, won't be long until he does make it to Europe, in which case we will see whatthe hype is about.

Supposedly has a pre-contract agreement with Barcelona - hope not lol.

Yeah he's dubbed the new Neymar and no I haven't played FM2015 for a while now - Him and Kenedy are both hot prospects for Brazil.

Yeah Gabigol

"i think United will be the ones to watch next season especially if: Hummels, Depay, Laporte, Clyne and Ings all join. Throw is PjanIc too and we'll be sorted."

We're starting this again early Ash , the rumour-confirmation mill.

"3rd this season is a great finish expecially when written off at the start of the campaign" As strong a position as you are in now, I do hope Fate is watching. He might be tempted .

Until a player makes the transisition from Brazil, it's pretty safe to disregard any hype around attacking players in the Brazilian leagues. The league is full of players who all fancy themselves as the next Neyymar, and the defensive side of Brazilian league football means in that league even Heskey could be the next Neymar .

You usually get players worth peanuts, with a big minimum release fee because of the overhyping. Even Neymar when he was there was reckoned to be overhyped until he got to Spain (which is probably the best league for a Brazilian attacker in terms of general playing style).

Let's start the RUMOUR MILL off again:

Memphis Depay to Man Utd - Personal Terms agreed today - just the Fee with PSV to go.

Isco to Arsenal even though I'm sure Man City will hijack it.

Pjanic to Liverpool - Much needed player required to fill Gerrards position I'd go with Nainggolan or William Carvalho myself. Already got a cracking player in Coutinho.

Rodrigo Dourado - Maybe signing for United - Young player from Internacionale. (W/permit issues though)

Nathaniel Clyne - Deal reported to have been DONE with United -
Hummels and Gundogan to United - I can only see Hummels, Arsenal or Liverpool to get Gundogan or Mkhitaryan.

All go from Dortmund with Klopp leaving - Reus to Real Madrid Next??? Bale to return as Reus takes his position? Could be interesting.

I was hoping for wackier from you, bit disappointing really

Still time mate, still time

Surprised that there's no Draxler-Arsenal link given how they've come good at the end of the season and Schalke are way off 4th place.

Supposedly Arsenal have agreed 21.5m for W.Carvalho about time they signed someone similar to Viera.



Draxler will only go Chelsea now I feel with the managers link, Di Matteo and Mourinho

It's funny because it depends who you listen to who you follow etc...

I mean I follow a lot of Liverpool accounts on twitter who say Depay to us is practically done fee agreed and talking personal terms. also heard similar about Mkhitaryan, pjanic and Nianggolan.

I tend not to listen to all the rubbish these days though as any player linked with United will be linked with one of the other 4/5 top teams and vice versar with all teams there... it's stupid.

Yeah very true I do follow twits on Twitter but also all the links around the world. There are a lot of duplicate stories and i agree with you. The one I watch devoutly is SSNHQ but even they're too slow. Knew about A.Johnson being charged 30 mins before SSNHQ even posted it on their yellow ticker thingy lol.

Adam Johnson to HMP Belmarsh ....sorry couldnt help myself

Ilkay Gundogan signs for Man Utd 30m Euros.
(Confirmed by German Reports)

Now on SSNHQ

Not confirmed yet

But id have him on most teams myself, quality.

I totally agree fran_ he's a top player, hopefully his injury proneness will subside and he can enjoy his football again at 24 years old. He's been pictured driving in to Carrington today and having pictures taken with kids outside the complex.

Looks very much like a DONE deal - Depay in Next, Clyne and Hummels then Wicked. Hummels and Smalling in defence - Smalling has been a lot better this season, Shaw played a blinder vs Chelsea and Di Maria has stated he would like to stay. (I'd still like Varane or Otamendi - Miranda IMO is rubbish)

All looking good!!

big away point at Stoke
but we had 3 clear cut chances

that's the difference between staying up and going down

but a draw was a fair result

United are woeful atm - Everton fully deserve their lead.

BVB sporting director denies having any contact with United since Nov, Depay denies that he has had any United contact. This is why you don't listen to Journalism, they often have their own interests in producing a story or their source is someone like that. Until the clubs official confirm these things then you have to take them with a pinch of salt. Would surprise me if a deal was done before the season finishes anyway, particularly when clubs haven't decided their places.

Don't buy into rumours, because half of them have zero substance

Utter Shambles today -
