tear of the lateral meniscus is a very bad injury to have. if we are not careful, this is owen hargreaves all over again. this is the kinda injury that screwed the career of ledley king. every time he tried running with his knee, it kept getting inflamed & that was because he didn't let it heal the first time.

van gaal's patience is justified - vidal didn't start in their friendly against an australian team. i am guessing this would be a deadline transfer if it's going to happen at all. vidal must be given time to play before we sign the dotted lines.




those kinda transfers are dead-on!
let's take care of the difficult ones first. blind & his club cannot turn our offer down if it comes. blind would love to play for van gaal again & again.



he rushed back the same way last season & he failed at it. he's a posh boy, he cannot get his hands dirty & get things done like that crook at spurs or david dein of arsenal.



thank feck we have easy fixtures in our first 8 league games. i expect nothing less than 22 points in those fixtures. we can afford to wait till the 31st to see what woodward has in store for us. if it's true hummels is available @ £25m and we fail to buy him, i will start a riot.

Hugoboi:

Just read on twitter that Hummels has been handed the armband as Dortmund's captain. Good luck to our getting him now!

chrisley024: @StarBoard, giving Smalling for Vermaelen is similar to 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. We'd have solved nothing doing d@.
Smalling is sure of even giving you more games.

Rafael leaving? If true, then must be the reason why we're after Cuadrado(ie if we're after him).

codedguy1: Fellaini, chicharito, Anderson, Rafael and Nani seem to be the ones that are supposedly surplus to requirement. Selling Fellaini might be a problem o.

Good value can be gotten from Rafael, Hernandez and Nani.

I trust LVG knows what he is doing in other to achieve what he wants to achieve at the end of the season.

Let's just get this transfers sorted out quickly so that the new guys would blend in. The season is already here.

Cuadrado, Vidal and Blind seem to be the ones on the radar! We might be doing busineSs on the last day of the transfer window this term.

StarBoard:
Please tell all our people here o, make dem here word.

Blind has said he would love to play for van Gaal, so i see no reason why that transfer hasn't happened yet. He wouldn't even cost too much sef, given van Gaal's affiliations with Ajax.

On a side note,
I hear Rafael is being told he can leave Old Trafford. that would be a shocker, if true.

But David levy of Spurs is the devil-come-to-life of all CEOs on earth.
That fellow can negotiate a 10 million fee for a corpse as long as it has a contract with Spurs.

Our saving grace.
Otherwise we are in deep shyte the way we've been so far this preseason.
Our defence is my primary headache. We do not have any veteran leading the line there. I kind of wonder why we didn't offer Smalling in exchange for Vermaelen given that he (Smalling) is a terrible passer of the ball and needs to have his confidence sky high all the time to function at decent levels.

I personally do not think he is available. I think it's the media running the show on this one as well.
One coach I've learnt to take seriously is Juergen Klopp. He doesn't rant just like every other coach in Europe. If he says Hummels is staying I think I'd rather believe him.
As usual no contact with Dortmund has been established. Even if we were to tyr to prise him away from them. So i'm thinking you might get your petrol and firewood ready to start that riot.

coogar: if it's true hummels is available @ £25m and woodward is reluctant to pay, then he's a bastärd. how can we pay £28m for an unproven, untested & overrated featherweight like luke shaw & miss out on hummels?

we need these 4 players asap....
buy
vidal(£45m)
hummels(£25m)
cudrado(£20m)
moses simon - the nigerian ronaldo(£2m)



sell:
valencia(£20m)
carrick(£15m)

StarBoard:

For me, I think giving up one of Jones/ Smalling to get some experience isn't a bad thing entirely. Vermaelen is not a bad defender overall. I do not think it would be that bad, to be honest.
We have two rookies starting at Center back in a crucial season for us. The omens do not portend for good reading if you ask me as it stands in that area of the pitch. Smalling himself has not proven to stay injury free, and his shaky disposition more often than not (though it could be argued he did play more on the right back position) doesn't give me the confidence to put my trust in him.

I'm not sure yet but I heard Rafael is being asked to leave, which would be a shame though.

chrisley024:
You've heard nah? Vermaelen is injured

StarBoard:
ok o.
But if fit, would you take Smalling over him?

chrisley024: You're wrong if you're using recent games.

Chelshit is not as strong as their fanatics & media will like to believe

Man City & Liverpool head still dey there

Dhelake: I understand, Arsenal and Man Utd to fight for 4th position, Quite understandable

adebayo201: I tire for this transfer market oh!
Haba. I think we shd really question LvG abt this transfer

RuuDie: I think we should be questioning LVG more on the issue of transfers rather than trying to blame Woodward (or whatever his name is) because we do not know for certain what LVG is up to... has he (LVG) given the CEO any "wish-lists" of targets for acquisition or made any such mentions!?
