montelik: ^^^ To be honest, no he isn't.

But that isn't my main point. 35M could be better spent elsewhere. With a 3-5-2 there isn't room for a winger like Di Maria. Why would you blow 35m on a relative luxury position when we could use specialist wingbacks, central defenders and midfielders.
di maria can play as a CM... We need mobility in the middle of the park

And Herrera is what?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 3:45pm On Aug 21, 2014
Robin van Persie , Danny Welbeck , Jonny Evans, Antonio
Valencia and Anderson all took part in training today ahead
of United’s trip to Swansea.

- welcome additions
I'll like to see a CM partnership of Herrera & Anderson @ some point. I think it will be interesting

I hope we won't end up wasting more panic mode money before this transfer window ends.

We still another central midfielder to give a solid base to this team and i hope the management is going about things properly. All these links to cuadrado and di maria make no sense when khedira and song are looking for clubs and can come for relatively little money.

So Lingard and Janujaz will perform more than Di Maria in wing back?

Khedira and Song might just be the last option when all hope of landing Vidal is dashed. ....and it looks dashed already.

For positional discipline, and even general discipline, Khedira is my choice.

Its well documented that LvG prefers to play 433 and 352 is only the interim formation while he sorts out a balance in the squad. If we get Di Maria and a Vidal type then he would be looking to switch for sure. Even for the dutch team , he only played 352 due toStrootman's injury.

Buying Di Maria will be very okay. There's nothing too much now to save our club. Di Maria is very much different from anything we have on ground. This is a player who easily tear through the lines of the opposition beginning from midfield and into the final 3rd. Such players can single handedly win matches by the confusion they cause to opponents. He did it over and over again last season. He did it in the world cup, it's part of his game. It's not hat he's forcing it or learning it.

You do have a point, but i hope the spending does not end here. We just do not have the physicality needed in central midfield, there are too many shadow markers and space protectors in that area of our team AND its not even as if they are so creative and inventive with the ball when they have it (bunch of sideways passers). They are neither hot nor cold.....the Holy Bible warned us about being lukewarm cheesy

Also i agree with you about Khedira but it seems Bayern is after him now, so i am not sure how realistic that is.
If we are to switch to 433 or 4231 then Rooney and RVP should compete for the lone striker position and may the better man win.

I tire oo! He can even play in the midfield like he did in Madrid last season very well.

We aint even sure the 3-5-2 is gonna work in this league yet.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 4:44pm On Aug 21, 2014
My stance on di maria remains the same.
If he's sold for less than £35m, very good. Cut perez's hand along sef.

Anything above that is a waste of money.
We've wasted too much money on luxury signings in attempts to go around the actual problem.

What we need now is to face the problem head on and tackle it once and hopefully for all. We should get a DM!(At least) and probably 1 more ball playing CM.


Meanwhile liverpool has completed the signing of balotelli (£16 I think)
And even alberto moreno, another solid LB for cheap £££ too.

Anything that makes this liverpool team gel early ehn undecided , wahala go dey oo.

There's hardly a top team without a good winger/wideman.
Woodhead should grab Di maria. We can still get a DM and a CM

Afterall Moyes wanted to get Fabregas, Bale and Ronaldo. They should use supposed money.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 5:11pm On Aug 21, 2014
That he and khedira have asked to leave is now confirmed should drive his price to the ground.

The £60-£70m people were quoting were just laughable. For erratic dimaria?

He and khedira for a combined fee of £45 -£50m won't be bad business.

It would ease our switch to 433(when the need arises).
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 5:28pm On Aug 21, 2014
Interesting quote from LvG meanwhile.

"I have found that I am dealing with players who are not able to perform at the level I expect, who don’t want to perform how I want. Both categories of players will be shown the door.”


He's just realised that some players' shitness are beyond redemption perhaps.

The coloured part suggests that some people are resisting his methods undecided
It'll be Interesting to know who they are, maybe nani was one.

No way Madrid let's both of them leave for that price range, 80mill for the two of them won't be bad

as it stands, they both probably won't cost more than £33m undecided
Song is around £10m wink

Khedira is on his last year & has refused to renew, he's not even in their immediate plans. Surely Madrid are no fools to reject even £20m for him.
Di Maria has asked to leave, £30m will thoroughly test their resolve

The last few days of this transfer season should be really interesting if LvG actually feels this way!

Its be obvious, that we have players who don't feel committed to our cause immediately SAF left. Moyes did not help matters, LvG has to make his changes and then take full responsibility.

Chai, my beloved Man U!

give'em £15m and they'll bite your hands off.

Add that to di maria's £35 (di maria has alos rejected a contract renewal and there seems to be no competition. I don't see why it should be more than this undecided)

Makes sense now, doesn't it.

that was frustrating to watch last season.
Some players simply were not trying and were unconcerned.

Perez would rather have them run out their contract than sell for those price you quoted, even Di Maria alone is £45m-£50m

It does now,to be honest am not sure we'll even land Maria with PSG lurking am happy if he comes but u hear talks about Inconsistency and other I don't want anoda Nani. Khedira I don't rate that high

just a few weeks ago, they seemed to be asking for close £70m.

Then psg and united were reportedly interested and he had just had a great WC.

Psg has pulled out now.
He has refused a new contract and seems to have put in a transfer request.

If they don't agree for a deadline day £35m bid, they whoever rejected that is insane
