Manchester United Thread

That was my response to your assessment on Sports in FL. You must be one of those sorts from the mid- west :P

Good friendly for Mutd , Rooney looks refresh.
 
The Guardian reports United is close to make a di Maria deal with Real and La Stampa from Italy says Vidal agree to a 5-year-contract worth € 12M per annum.

Anyway, I would love to see some new CBs...
 
"Congratulations to Warren Joyce and his Reserves team for retaining the Manchester Senior Cup with a 4-1 win over City thanks to four goals from James Wilson."

Think he'll be one of the young players to get promoted to the first team by Van Gaal in the near future.
 
Still nothing.

Talk of Vidal, Di Maria and Cuadrado continues but nothing concrete, missed out on Vermaelen.

clock is ticking and it's getting all to familiar to last year, another point is we haven't even sold anyone yet!
 
Good point. Thank god we bring in two new faces to the squad. Maybe van Gaal made up his minds about new signing but damn, I would like to see Vidal plus one or two centre-halfs. Besides the talking I hope Hummels is still on the cards... :PRAY:
 
That's my view but then you have to trust manager, if LVG wanted him its a loss to miss out on a target.

our options at CB are horrific if we intend to play 3 every game.
 
FFS I know I said I was calm and confident but I'm seriously getting freaking nervous now about our inability to make signings without turning it into some long drawn out process without any guarantee. Why can't we just close deals like City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Pool?... Perhaps I need to stop paying attention to transfer rumors.
 
A new defender is definetly needed. How many times have we seen Jones (stretchered!) and Evans limp out of games. It wouldnt even surprise me if they limp off against Swansea or even Valencia tomorrow night. Surely LVG knows there track record! have a word Ryan
 
Well, it looks like Daley Blind is interest in joining United and Frank de Boer already admitting he can leave for the right price. In other news Hummels is the BvB skipper so this could rule out any potential move. Sad. Maybe I should fallow dplane and stop paying attention to such rumors.

Transfers windows are like a Hollywood gossip channel. Not sure when it started getting massively out of control but it has been quite ridiculous for a long time. Most fans/supporters can't help themselves and will click on a link or read a story if a marquee name is being linked to their club. Nothing wrong with that as I think it's human nature to do things of this sort.
 
Hummels was a non starter a long while ago, Dortmund aren't going to sell unless he asked to leave which was never going to occur yet.

as of right now I don't fancy our chances for top four, things could change but I can't see much transfer activity at this point.

Blind on deadline day.
 
Only hope I hold out is that LVG must know top 4 is his goal. Selfishly, that means he needs to get the players necessary to make that, or he could be viewed as a failure in his final (?) major job, and his ego will never allow that.

Tis a very good point. They had a nice gentle start to the season too.

Literally the only two things I don't like about LVG's reign so far:

1. We have 3 senior centre backs in the whole squad
2. Any word of Rafael leaving. No sir, no way.
