The Mirror report that United are after Leighton Baines, going off twitter this afternoon, i know i know, they are probably bang on the money. He isn't top class, he won't be as good a player as Evra was for us at his best, but we couldn't continure with just one option at left back after Evra's desperately disappointing last two seasons. I expect him to estabish himself as the first choice left back if the deal does go through, i just can't see Evra re-discovering the form that made him one of the best left backs in the world at his best.
But Baines is pretty solid at the back and is probably better going forward as well, who knows we may even see some goals from full back for the first time since Denis Irwin left the club. £12 million seems a bit steep to me though, never mind the £ 15 million supposedly wanted by Everton.
Fergie obviously has doubts in his mind about Fabio being able to fill the role and i really don't see Fryers as United first team material, so we definitely need a left back this summer. Of course in my dreams, a Glazerless United, would be breaking the bank to convince Gareth Blae that his future would be in a red shirt at left back for Manchester United. Back in the real world Baines seems a fair enough option. It would be nice if we could get this all sown up before the Euro's begin.
The Mail reckon United have sealed a deal for the highly rated 18 year old Nick Powell from second division Crewe. The now usual scoffing has been doing the rounds on the various United messageboards rtegarding the deal. I have got no problem with United going in for young home grown potential, if we had only got Bale from Southampton. The Glazer's have a lot to answer for, but some times reds can sound off like some right spoilt bastards, we all know we need, and in an ideal world would be spending big this summer, but there is still roon for deal like this.
Miguel Delaney plots out United's transfer strategy for the summer,he has a decent track record apparently, and to be honest it sounds plausible enough. The proirities seem to be in the right order anyway, the left back we need and a couple of midfielders all within the, nice description here, Glazer era minimalism. My only question would be, if we are to get Nick Powell does that mean we are only now in for one attacking midfielder or is he indeed one for the future.
If there was any doubt about Bebatov's future i think his recent interview cleared it up, he will be joining Michael Owen in looking for a new club. I think we can safely say that Berbatov will find it easier to have clubs lining up to take him off United's hands than our former number 7's who won't be joing the illustrious roll call of United greats to have graced that number. If that kind of thing bothers you, that is, it's all a load of bollocks to me, a shirt's a shirt.
There has been speculation that United have tried to sign Lewandowski from Dortmund and that they may try and use the Bulgarian in part exchange to get their man. I can see that would be attractive to Berbatov, but i'm not sure he would fit in with Dortmund's style of play. More to the point, i'm not really sure what the big pole would bring to our squad. He's a decent playerbut i'm not sure what he'd bring to the party for us.
Van Der Sar thinks De Gea did well in his first season and advises the Spaniard to become his own man as aims to become a worthy successor to the big Dutch nember one after noting the trouble United had in trying to find an able replacement for Peter Schmeichel. Don't remind us of that unhappy time, it was no coincidence that is took the arrival of Van Der Sar to allow United to dominate the premier league again as they had with Scmeichel between the sticks in the 90's.
Gary Neville explains why he couldn't say no to Roy Hodgson and England and assures his fans on Sky that he won't be quitting his punditry role. I can't say i was that impressed with the squad Hdgson chose, but then again he hasn't got the depth in talent that he would like and England probably should be producing.
Roy Keane and Gareth Southgate warn the press that Gary Neville won't be as influential as the seem to expect, with Southgate expecting him a to assume the role that Bryan Robson filled under Terry Venables during the Euro's in 96.
An interesting article in Prospect over the future political realities in the south Atlantic as Britain's diffculties are predicted to get even more complicated as Brazillian economic strength is about to translate into serious naval strength with construction of five nuclear subs. So much for all that oil around the Falklands.
George Monibot takes the fight to the genocide deniers of the usual suspects of the old anti US left. I like reading some of Pilger's and Chomsky's stuff, but i would be totally with Monibot on this.
Walter Ellis looks at the changing face of America and warns that like it or not, and i think we know Telegraph readers probably won't, the US is becoming a post white nation. The interesting thing about that for me is how that will affect the politics and how it will effect the ruling elite. Will Wall street and oil continue to call the shots.
Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the far left Greek Syriza is described as the only European politician talking sense on Greece and the Euro, well he is the only one addressing thr reality of the situation, that's for sure. Larry Elliott argues that the Euro is ripe for a bit of Schumpter's creative destruction or it will carry on in its zombie-like condition.
Mary Riddell see's Miliband's appointment of Jon Cruddas to head the parties policy review as a big gamble and argues if he gets it wrong, Miliband will be left without a prayer. I can't say i'm much of a fan of blue labour, i'm not saying he doesn't have some good idea's, he does, but i don't see him as particularly progressive. We'll see.
The damp squib of a reaction to his extreme neo-liberal report seems to have put Beecroft's noise out of joint with him accusing Vince Cable of being a socialist, get it right social democrat and tells the Telegraph he is setting the record straight. Let him carry on and drag his patries chances at the next election down with him.
Alex Brummer sees the latest IMF report as the possible beginnings of plan B and a less than enthusiastic thumbs up from the organisation on Osborne and the bank's naigation of the economy since it took charge.
It looks like the work to welfare fraud is worse than we thought as tory MP's basically gagged the sector's whistleblowers, ordering them to give the selct comittee looking into the abuses behind closed doors, now why would they do that.
