Reportedly has a £3.5m release clause.

No excuse not to sign him then.

If this stays the same and United win or draw then we only need 1 point from our last two games. If this stays the same and United lose, then 5th is guaranteed before we even kick a ball.

United needs to win their three games and we need to lose both of ours to finish sixth. Anything else means fifth place, unless West Ham completely implodes.

People have talked about Cork, Cleverley, Colback, Rodwell, all players who 'could' prove to be good players under Martinez.

Diame for £3.5m WOULD be a good player for us, no leap of faith required there. He'd also be cheaper than Cleverley and probably Cork, cheaper even than whatever buy back clause we'd put into a Rodwell loan.

Absolute no brainer if we're looking for another centre mid.

I'd be happy with the likes of Diame for that price to flesh out our squad for Europe.

The big investment needs to be upfront.

Cork and Diame and we have real depth in the middle going into Europe for 6.5m and a signing on fee for Barry.

This could be a good day......

Yeah mate, Brennan corrected me haha, knew my maths was off! Sunderland to get a draw at Old Trafford and its happy days. I want us to win tonight, but it we have 5th confirmed before we play, then i really couldnt care.

Carroll and Downing doing us a favour by easing the pressure a bit for later. Well in lads!

Going to be pretty funny if United make 6th (minus Moyes) and qualify for the Europa (early rounds - messing up their pre-season money making tours) thanks to City winning the Carling Cup..

Man Utd have already confirmed the tour will go on regardless. They will have 2 different teams.

Those 3 for £6.5m, if we could manage it, would be top business.

 

[rascal]

Sunderland will take something today

Agree completely. Very few on here, deep down, want us to lose today, but I don't think there'll be anyone that upset if we lose.

Was thinking the same thing. Europa would be a big blow to their friendly tours.

 

[rascal]

Come on Brighton ffs. I want you first game in August for a boss away

I'd have absolutely no concerns about squad depth next year if we did that and invested heavily up top and on the wing. Flesh the rest of it out with our up and comers from the reserves and there is a lot to get excited about.
