Rumours we're selling Rafael even more we're getting Cuadrado who would be class but don't want to sell Rafa. Cuadrado could easily be a winger for us, even if he does play wing-back for his country. Praying to the almighty Imhotep that Vidal to United gets finalised this week. Who is Rafael supposed to be off to? Strange one as I thought he's improved a lot in the past couple of seasons. Ravel Morrison to Cardiff won't go away. Although he'd be a fantastic signing at this level, he is a nutter off the field and has a court case hanging over him. I'm torn. Michael Keane is expected to sign for us on loan, which I'm very happy with. Turning into Man United reserves isn't the worst thing in the world! They didn't say. I agree he's improved and still has the potential to improve much more. Not sure how I feel about that Keane stuff - the way things stand he's our 4th choice CB in a 3-man defence so would've actually got decent game time. I suppose if we sign a cb or two then it would make sense.

Would love to see Tom Lawerence get a chance at Cardiff (or anywhere for that matter). A young Welsh kid who hopefully has a bright future.

They have some great kids in the academy. I would like us to look at Nick Powell and James Wilson personally.

Him, Wilson and Januzaj are supposed to be the big 3 things to come from our academy in the next couple of years. I'm interested to see what happens with him.

Rojo is strongly linked with Man Utd. Would fit like a glove on this 3-5-2 as the left CB. Seems like we are trying to get Wijnaldum. Finally some good news!!

Hopefully Keane has improved since he was with us (I imagine he has), he wasn't bad as such, but he was a pretty average Championship defender when he was here.

Panic buying from Southampton. £12mil for Shane Long. It's a shame, but I can't help but laugh.

Cardiff have signed Anthony Pilkington from Norwich for £1M. Very happy with this, a player I've always rated and to get him from a promotion rival at such a low price is terrific business. Ole seems to know how to work the transfer market, especially when it comes to the ex-United players haha.

Credit where credit is due. Liverpool getting this Balotelli deal wrapped up pretty quickly but will he get a game ahead of Sturridge? Worth the risk at £16mil imo and increase moral with a big name but don't think he's the massive signing they needed. Hopefully proves me wrong because there's definitely a player there.

He will never fulfill his potential, and will probably end up on loan somewhere this time next season.

Really didn't expect Balotelli to land in Liverpool, but this really helps the squad out. They were missing some firepower in terms of striking so i'm glad they managed to pick up Balotelli. Should be interesting to see how he does and how the team does as well. If he really pans out I can see Liverpool winning the league.

I imagine they'll play the same formation as last season but with Balotelli instead of Suarez.

So there are apparently rumors of Xabi Alonso to Bayern. As much as it doesn't make sense, a two year loan may be good for Bayern.

Alonso to Bayern is something that I'm very happy about. Great player and some more star power for the Bundesliga (even at 32) should be good. Plus he was pretty impressive against Schalke.

Falcao is dreadful business for United.
They're paying £10mil or so to take a striker on loan for a year, only to have the option to buy him for the same price as his last move, 2 years, a poor run of form and a serious knee injury later.
It, combined with Di Maria, just makes United look desperate to prove a point by bringing in any available big names, rather than actually considering who the best additions to their squad would be.
There's little point bringing in Falcao when Smalling is your best defender.

Would've loved Falcao at City, but his fee + wages would've ed us right up.

Not sure why we're getting Falcao. Rumours LVG thinks RVP is done, but then why not sell RVP whilst he still has some value?

Guessing we'll play 4-3-1-2.
DDG Rafael Jones Evans Shaw Herrera Blind Di Maria Mata Falcao Rooney
RVP benched. Some people on Twitter pushing Rooney back and dropping Mata, but Mata is definitely better in the CAM role. Less defensive work but more creativity.

Mike you know anything about Tom Lawrence? Suggestion that we might be signing him or bringing him in on loan.
