Lewandowski to United!

[Crayo]

Poland national team coach Franciszek Smuda claims his star striker, Robert Lewandowski, is on his way to Manchester United this summer.

The 23-year-old was one of Borussia Dortmund's leading lights in 2011-12, as he helped the German giants to a domestic double - the Bundesliga title and the German Cup final, following an emphatic 5-2 victory over Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski is tipped to star at Euro 2012 with host nation Poland, and all eyes will now be on a forward who netted an impressive 22 goals for Dortmund last season.


Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson was rumoured to be in the market for a new striker, after Michael Owen was released at the end of his contract, and Dimitar Berbatov poised for a move away from Old Trafford.

Having already agreed a deal to sign creative midfielder Shinji Kagawa in the past few days, United now look to have moved for another of Dortmund's star turns Lewandowski, if Smuda's recent comments about a number of his most influential Polish players, are to be believed.

"Lewy is going to Manchester United, Kuba [Jakub Blaszczykowski] also somewhere in England, [Lukasz] Piszczek to Real," said Smuda, as quoted on SkySports.com.

"They have a goal and they want to grow. I base the squad on them."

Called that shit.

What's this mean for Chicharito :sad:

Nothing bad really. Rooney is #10, so we'd have Chicha, Welback and Lewan. Chicha is our ole gunner solsjier, I'll never know how to spell that name.

Man U will probably play 60 + games this season so having strength in depth is needed, plus he'll just take Berba's spot.

I know they don't play the same position, but this makes Clint look a little bit less likely, no?

 

[seabs]

Wasn't Clint being linked to play in the middle of the park anyway?

Not at all. United are in complete transition. The team we finished joint first with (STFU NOT SECOND) was a 4th place-5th place squad imo. Sir Alex said he wants to build a completely new team and succeed before he leaves. Kagawa, Dempsey, Lewan sounds perfect to me <3.

Yup. Our midfield even with Kagawa is still sucky in depth.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

With the Kagawa signing I just don't want you all to sign Clint and see him winding up starting 10 games or something lame like that.

You think we'd start the 4th top scorer in the PL last season and the top scoring midfielder in England on the bench? OUR MIDFIELD?

The midfield would be Clint and Kagawa.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I hope so. The thought of Clint starting 30+ games for Man U gets me slightly hard

 

[Crayo]

Same. So much same. We haven't had a goal scoring CM since Scholes in his prime.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I hope it happens. I'm a big fanboy for Nani and Chicharito, and I like guys like Ashley Young, Rooney, and Evra as well.

Dempsey would put them over the top

I fucking love you. You mark for who I mark for. What about Valencia though? Best RM in the world on his day imo.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Forgot about Valencia. He is definitely a stud, I look forward to seeing him play more next season as he sort of came out of nowhere last season.

 

[Crayo]

Definitely. Liking all these posts here.
