Berbatov to Arsenal 
And I always said Chicarito was more suited to Arsenal than ourselves, they are after him as well according to papers.

Looks like it. I doubt Mourinho would sell to United, but Mata would be a great signing for them. Then again, they have Kagawa who is similar and don't use him effectively either. Their formation is too dated to utilise these players.

Iv always said Kagawa was a poor player, no idea how he did in Germany, nor do I care, in the PL he hasnt done it.
There have been one or two games he has been good, the Leverkusen one being an example. But generally hes ineffective.
Heres a supporting article on that

Steve, its plainly obvious that he doesn't fit in to United's formation, or style. I can't think of another big/successful club that plays with a 442 formation anymore. Kagawa doesn't fit in to any of those positions whereas he excelled as a trequerista for Dortmund, where he will excel again if he goes back.

Vidal is definitely more suited to United, but I'd be surprised if they can entice him away from Juve.

Vidal won't leave Juve.
Steve - Kagawa was a beast in Germany, hugely surprised he hasn't done that well over here so far. He kind of played the Rooney position, so I guess that hasn't helped. Bit of a waste. By no means a poor player at all, he just hasn't fit at United. If he could find a position in another team, he'd be fine I reckon.
Higuain link is complete bullshit, papers putting two and two together and coming up 7.
Been linked with Zouma now, young defender who plays for St.Etienne.
Guarin deal looks close, apparently.
Derby have taken or young striker Bamford on loan, Boro have taken our young defender Omeruo, and Vitesse have taken Traore. Vitesse is basically a Chelsea youngsters club at the moment.

No chance of anyone getting Lewandowski now, seeing as he's signed a pre-contract with Bayern. As if they needed to be any stronger.

Kagawa needs a good run in the team. Just because he plays a game, gets played off the pitch or doesn't score, should not mean he be dropped. Otherwise he will never get to his best for us.

Last piece of the puzzle, in a way.
Mandzukic is a good player don't get me wrong, but not on Lewandowski levels.

Tbh, Mandzukic isn't on Gomez's level either, but he makes up for that with a shit load of effort. He works extremely hard for the team and suits their style perfectly.
But of course, having one of the best finishers on Earth will help the world's most ruthless team.

Yeah he puts a shift in! Tbh I wouldn't of allowed Gomez to leave this season, because if Mandzukic got injured they have no striker.

Remember, its Guardiola in charge  He's played several games without a recognised striker this year, and Lahm has excelled at CDM under him!

I know but it's a risk... Sure they have lots of options, but I liked Gomez, scored bucket loads. Was underrated for them I feel.

I agree. The man was born to score goals and he went to Italy for a ridiculously cheap price.
It is a risk, but with Ribery and Robben you are guaranteed chances. They are unbeaten with only two draws from the first sixteen so he's not doing too bad

Yeah, is that just league? Can't think they've been beaten in any other competition apart from the City game!

Mandzukic is a better striker for Bayern than Lewandowski, by some distance. I know quite a few Bayern fans and not one of them is happy about signing him as they know they will lose mandzukic now.
Wouldnt be sutrprised if Wenger maikes a bid for mandzukic now in the hope that Bayern could offer a small fee for RL and get him now too, seems unlikely though
