January Transfer Window 2013 (General)

[RichC]

I can see Rooney sold on, thought this for a while tbh.

[Imy]

Apparently Lewandowski is close to agreeing a deal with United, will move there next summer.

That's some firepower if true.
5 top class strikers: RVP, Rooney, Lewandowski, Pea face and Wellbeck.
I wonder how they'd lineup?
The other sad thing is they'd all walk in to our team

[dww]

Hmmm. Kagawa is a 10 too and when he's back they will have to either drop a striker or play him wide. I'd be very surprised if they sign Lewandowski.

FWIW I think Rooney's future is in doubt.

I think Welbeck, Rooney and even Hernandez could plausibly be off though. Not saying that I'm sure that Lewandowski is on his way just that Fergie seemingly piling up forwards is not that an unlikely scenario (especially given the players at his disposal).

In a deal with Madrid for Ronaldo who has refused a new contract according to the Mirror.

[RichC]

How much extra would Madrid want do you think

[Chazza]

What do we reckon Rooney's market value is 40-50m? So Madrid take him and another 20-30m they get back the Ronaldo money in a roundabout way.

Robert Lewandowski will double his earnings as a Manchester United player after moving a step nearer landing his dream move to Old Trafford.
He is set to accept an offer of £20.5million in wages to join the Barclays Premier League side in the summer.

Borussia Dortmund have settled on an £18million fee for the Polish striker, who has long been pursued by Sir Alex Ferguson.

According to German newspaper Bild, the 24-year-old will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford worth around £4.1m annually.

[Fredo]

Think they've got him.

[Tee]

£18m.

Cheaper than Downing.

[RichC]

Brilliant signing if it comes off

[Leyton388]

Who will lose out though? I can see it being Rooney as RVP is on fire.

[RichC]

Maybe move Rooney back into midfield or sell him

[Gibbo]

Rooney will go to PSG imo.

[Bender]

nah utd in midfield are piss poor...if they sign the polish striker think it would make sense to shift rooney into midfield,he's played there before and gives them even more of an attacking threat
