ok here goes.

Your mate is right that a bid HAS been submitted,but it has been rejected. The monetary value was too low and now there are discussions regarding one maybe two players in exchange. The details are still up in the air regarding permanent switch or loan deals. If he does leave,which is believed highly likely now,money will not necessarily be spent on a new left back as it is thought we could cover this position from within the current squad and money would be best spent elsewhere. From the same source,Fellaini offers would not be welcomed and he has given his word that he will not rock the boat and intends to stay for at least one more season.......cue the knives out for me

Which players??
 
I don't believe anyone but bluefox, lcab, fourth official and I am warming up to sheedy.

You must prove yourself first, and I really hope u don't ;)

Sounds interesting pal, thanks for sharing.
 

My mate from work is a big man utd fan and he seems to think man utd are trying to offload Hernandez didn't mention to us by the way just mentioned they want rid due to health issues with the lad.
Cracking player when fit by the way
 
Just my opinion, but we will not accept players in exchange. If Baines gets sold, it will be for money alone, or not at all.

Moyes has never, in 10 years+ at Everton, ever taken players in exchange for any player he has sold.

The reasons for this are two-fold: 1) Players are generally only sold at Everton to raise cash; and 2) Moyes is absolutely fastidious about who he signs and why. He doesn't just take people because they are on offer. He watches players he wants 10/15/20 separate times, builds up dossiers on them, investigates their characters and how they'll fit into the team. Unless there are some United players he really fancies, and has heavily scouted, I can't see this at all. And with our wage ceiling, it would very likely mean any United players taking a wage cut to join us. Which, if they are told they are surplus to requirements at United, will probably have the pick of a bunch of clubs, all of whom would be able to offer better terms. Just as a further example, it's come out that Naismith was offered more money to move elsewhere, but chose Everton because of the pull of Jelavic & Weir. We just don't offer the big enough wages.
 
There's also Baines' age (27, 28 this December), and that United haven't bought a player aged 27 or older since Berbatov. They have a clear policy of signing younger players with huge resale value.
 

Completely hypothetical ofcourse but say we could take 2 players from united:

Ezekiel Fryers - young exciting left back who looks like his contract negotiations have broken down
Nick Powell on loan - forward signed from crewe who we where after.

No doubt we'll ask for Park and Macheda though
 
Remember when united first went for Rooney. Talk was we where getting FOUR players in exchange lol

If we sold Baines and that happened i'd slit my balls and/or jump off the top balcony.

I would rather have Park and Macheda than Fryers and Powell on loan. But I would rather have no one out of Uniteds team and just the cash so Moyes can spend it on who he wants.
