Also, this week we were linked to Angelo Ogbonna and Christian Eriksen (again)

Özil won't move, it's a goofy rumor.
I'd rather have a Wanyama, honestly. Need a strong central mid that can win balls and help out our aging, currently banged up defense.
Jones, Smalling, and Buttner have the potential to be great EPL defenders, but they need time and unfortunately are hurt (except for Buttner).
I'd go after that strong CM and then maybe another RB if I were Fergie. If Rafael goes down, we're screwed.
Also, there's the constant Nani departure rumor. I wouldn't cry over that.

I'd like ta axe da class fo to take a po'. In Madrid, I mean.
I think there may be more concern about Mesut leaving than the translator. At least I hope so.

He's played as a center half in the past. He's not a good passer yet.

We won't land Eriksen. He'll go to a top side

If he leaves anytime soon, I would agree... However, his stock seems to have fallen a bit and his dream move to Barca or Real appears to be a long shot...

I'm sure Arsenal will be in for him. They've been tracking him for at least a year now

apparently buttner can play on either side, although left would be his preferred.

Yeah, he'd fit in with them, but I'm not sure how high a CAM is with Cazorla there...
I don't know how high a CAM is for us with Suso and Shelvey behind Gerrard... I'd much prefer the money elsewhere... or Isco, since he can play out wide...
We'll probably end up with a 20 yr old Ukranian striker from who knows what league (thats worked with Rodgers before)

They don't need a refined central midfielder. They just need someone to push Paul Scholes around the field

The only arsenal rumor I've seen is the 35 million to work with + possible targeting falcoa, but I think a lot of that is just the fact that he cost that much last time and our supposed striking problems.
I would love it if they went after m'vila and possibly Jesus

Falcao's Colombian. He's waiting for RM, maybe BCN whenever they're down. He may go to England for insane moula, or Italy, if forced (by market conditions).

I'm still not totally sure why United didn't go after Dembele.
Anyway, Fulham are apparently looking to bring in a....ok, nobody cares.

Dembele would have been perfect in that United midfield. But I think he's even more perfect for Tiny Tots.
