With all the mayhem in the past transfer window it was always going to be interesting to hear Sir Alex’s take on it.
United were linked with Blackpool’s Charlie Adam on the final day and it was said that we had matched Liverpool’s fee but Fergie dispelled this saying:
‘I spoke to Ian Holloway about Charlie…we wouldn’t be interested in doing business just now of that type of player. I think Charlie Adam’s a terrific footballer but I think Blackpool have done the right thing to keep him because they really need him to stay in the division’
In the interview with MUTV, Sir Alex went on to claim that he did have his eye on a player:
‘We tried to do some business with another one but it wasn’t going to happen..but we kept it quiet.’
Chelsea paying £50m for Fernando Torres and Liverpool paying a whooping £35m for Andy Carroll didn’t surprise Sir Alex who said that the prices were going to be inflated when Aston Villa paid £18m rising to £24m for Darren Bent.
Makes you wonder who the player he tried going for is?
Well i obviously dont know for certain but im gonna put my money on Shinji Kagawa Borussia Dortmunds Japanese Playmaker hes 21 and im sure youve heard us linked with him and his agent claims he would have been a united player by the edn of january had he not broken his foot at the asian cup
I wouldnt of mind Kagawa, hear he’s a good talent and I know he’s been one of Dortmunds top guns in their League topping performance and to be honest, I hope they win the Title.
Also heard it would take £20m to land Shinji Kagawa, Dortmund got him at like 325 Japanese Yen but have no intentions in selling him and dont need to as they are no longer in financial difficulty like they where 10yrs ago. Could we go for him in the summer? you never know.
