Song happy to stay at Arsenal as Wenger quashes Barcelona speculation
Arsenal is ready to begin “serious talks” with Manchester United over the sale of Robin van Persie that may result in a 22 million-pound ($34.5 million) transfer, the Sun reported.
The Gunners had been demanding 25 million pounds for the Netherlands striker, though will now settle for less rather than keep a player who doesn’t want to be at the club and could become a hate figure for fans, the Sun added.
Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente put the two Manchester clubs on another collision course by saying he wants to quit the Spanish team, the Daily Express reported.
The 27-year-old Llorente, who has one year left on his contract, is viewed by United and City as an alternative to van Persie, the Express added.

So Deportivo la Coruña is interested in Oribe Peralta
Hopefully they don't sell him to them cus Deportivo still owns money to Atlas (mex) to this day from the transfers of Colotto and Guardado and they've also have been ordered by FIFA to pay

Don't understand why Fergie wants all these new strikers when it's clear that our midfield has been mediocre for about 4 seasons straight now.

Only if Song was to leave. Coquelin is on the come up, it would only hinder him if M'Vila was bought now.

Utd lost the league last season on goal difference,maybe that's why...
and i know that Utd's midfield is not one of the best in Europe,hell they're not even the best in the Premiership but they did help the team to two league titles in the last four seasons...
besides,no one is available in the transfer market without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money...
anyway,it's great to see Fletcher playing again in that testimonial match against Aberdeen...
hopefully that problem is behind him and Utd can look forward to having him back regularly from now on...
but it's not Utd's midfield that i'm worried about,it's their defence...
Evans,Smalling and Jones are all out with injuries and Utd still doesn't have a good cover for the fullback position...
Fabio will be on loan and the interest in Baines seemed to have cooled off...
Brady(LB/LM) did well in pre-season but i doubt he's ready for the step up...
frankly,i wouldn't be surprised if Utd start their season with Carrick or Valencia playing in defence...

^ Yeah, I think it was indicated a week ago that Carrick might start at the back. Eeek. Still too many ??? in the midfield and backline.
RVP would be a great addition on any team, but the guy is so injury-prone... 20mn too. Hmmm... I dunno.

Before the brazil v Mexico game for the Olympics, Mexico studied the way they played and figured out that when Fabio is pressured he tends to make mistakes
Hence the loose ball given away by fabio to Aquino and Aquino passing to Oribe this scoring the opening goal in the first 28 seconds

Chances are that we're getting Sahin...well he would be a better signing for us than M'Vila.
I don't see Coquelin being loaned especially since the AFCON will be taking place in 2013.
Plus I think AW wants to mold him now.

Sky Sports news says the sun believes RVP will sign for Manchester United for 22£ million

Why? When
Lewandowski is available (even if it is for next season)
Isco is available
Moutinho was never really chased properly
Teams like Newcastle's are picking up Left Back's that have played in Europe for years for 6-10m, who are young and have some experience (Anita).
Sahin could have been bought, if SAF was aggressive enough.
Llorente is waving a giant "come and get me flag", and he'll cost less.
SAF is seriously expecting RVP to have a repeat of last season?
