I don't think the potential acquisition of Bale would stop us from getting one defender and one midfielder to balance the team.

At least we can sell some players to recoup some of the money.

Who are these players and how much are we looking to make?

We can sell Mata and Fellaini to fund part of Bale and Strootman. However, these things depend on form. Mata can suddenly prove to be indispensable. Then it could be another player....

You never know until we assess our players throughout this season.

Di Maria is okay for us. He is the only one who could be said to have replaced one of our legends- Giggs. We are looking for Scholes' replacement. We are looking for Kean/Hargreaves.

Over the weekend, I watched some of our matches in 2008/2009, I realized why SAF always wanted Giggs on the pitch. He turned zigzagly around the final 3rd and opposition half like he were playing with primary school kids. While with the ball, all of a sudden opposition defence lost grip of Ronaldo, Berbatov and Rooney. Di Maria is the only one close to doing that.

John Oshea is better than virtually all defenders we have now.

it as as simple as ABC, why should fans worry about wages of players sef? if the institution itself declares it is well equipped to handle transfers for the biggest players, why should anybody be breaking jaws & bones on the matter?

Nah. It would rather make the team more imbalanced; more persons in attack.


Despite having an impressive array of fowards, we still dey struggle, yet the acquisition of 100m rated bale is seen as that final jigsaw to the puzzle.

We will continue to struggle until we find a leader in the defence.

And we still have Young, Valencia, Nani and Januzaj. C'mon, unless we release 3 of these players.
we can release Fletcher & Anderson, sell Hernandez, Zaha, Evans & Cleverley, then send Januzaj on loan. Young will be back up in case of injuries on the left midfield. if we are keeping Valencia (looks likely), then we won't be looking for another right back or Cuadrado any time soon. if Falcao's deal will be permanent, one of RvP or Mata will be sold. we are sure to make some recoup, no matter how much.

potentially, we can witness the exists of Hernandez, Fletcher, Anderson, Zaha, Cleverley, RvP(Mata) & Evans.

if replacements are Bale (Reus), Vidal, Strootman, Nani, Godin & Vlaar; I don't think its unreasonable + the actual expenditure may be around £150m.

major moves will be in the summer, unless van Gaal is actually interested in Vlaar urgently as he won't cost even 5m now
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:49pm On Dec 22, 2014
It will be very very hard for Man United to sell RVP. Even if his form is bad, United will have to exhaust their patience with him. He came from a rival club and he has always said he wants to stay here to retire.

bros football is serious business oo, even the legend-anointed Moyes was sacked.
the competition upfront is fierce, players got to outdo themselves or be left behind.

You have to give benefit of doubt to strikers, particularly when they have performed for you before. You don't hurry to dispatch strikers. However, if it becomes an obvious case like we had in Berbatov, the player will have to decide whether to settle for squad role or find a club to play regularly.

RvP offered more to Utd than Berba did. We can't just offload him anyhow. He'll have to be abysmal poor and Falcao'll have to shine brighter than a star before we cast him away like omi isanwo
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 3:59pm On Dec 22, 2014
We only need solid defenders and solid defensive midfielders. Then the attack can really concentrate on giving opposition defence nightmares they'll never forget. Without a good defense mata can't play well and with full confidence. LvG should focus on building the defense jare, wetin we wan take bale do sef? Bale sef can't perform 100% if he knows the defense can't cover his fvck ups. Mchew. Bale ko, boli ni

I reiterate; Both have to be considered. We are looking to slash our wage bill so as to accommodate the right players in positions where we just to to fill. Why on earth should we think of adding another potential 250k/week(if we are to offer him a 4 year contract, that's a whopping 48m in wages) luxurious signing that can be done without at the moment?



Even if he's better than a Lionel messi-Ronaldo clone, we can do without him...atleast for now. Like I said earlier, there are more pressing issues to concern ourselves with.



Within the past 12months, we have spent nothing less than 200m on transfers, yet the team is very unbalanced- a fact the coach attests to. Even if they are milking the club,It isn't as if they haven't been providing us with money. We should concern ourselves with the pressing issues that need to be addressed. Jumping at the chance to sign every messi, aguero and Ronaldo available so as to curtail the glaziers from "wasting"our money isn't the way forward.

-we are not as strong as we ought to be in the wide areas
-his purchase won't exactly stop us from shoring the defence and midfield up
-the club has paid accountants to the accounting jobs, I don't see why you are soooo concerned abt the mooney being spent.
Bale coming won't send us into instant bankruptcy, if that's what you are so scared of grin

nobody disputes where the fast money should be spent, but the cash is there in the coffers & spending £80m on another world class won't exactly run us down or stop other acquisitions.

#that is the point

This is what I was trying to tell SailorXY . Let's build the defense jare. The fact that one has money doesn't mean he should spend it anyhow
