coogar: so you admit young is playing well & the last 2 seasons performance were poor because of his injuries? why then were you guys saying he lacks the talent to play for united? if young is poor what then would you say about valencia?I suspect you are very good at reading, i never mentioned injuries.Using injuries as an excuse is just that, an excuse. U neglect the fact that he is playing a different role. I said Young is playing well now. He just might make a decent wing back but as winger he is still mediocre. Only last week Van Gaal was saying we have NO WORLD CLASS WINGER . The best talent we have on the wings is Nani but he is never consistent. Valencia should not even be a footballer. |
Nihilist: Given the way modern transfers work, I doubt that this the case. Because of his antecedents. By their fruits we shall know them. His only fruit was a rotten mop-haired one called Fellaini. This is starting to look similar to last season |
RuuDie: My sentiments exactly...LOL. I can pretty much remember it was Woodward getting most if not all the stick for the shabby transfer moves. Moyes had lots of support from fans here early on....Starboard was the earliest and loudest in oppostion to the Moyes issue. Other fans turned on him when the results kept getting worse every week. As per transfers however Woodward got most of the abuse. I remember peeps calling him Woodhead and asking why he spent so much time in Asia with the team when he should have pursuing targets in Europe |
coogar: you are making plenty assumptions here. firstly, majority of these media-reported targets are mere speculations. there's no evidence united tendered an official bid for di maria or the ones being touted by the media.I never said we had made bids for those 3 though. Just that if we are interested in them i don't think all 3 will come. Maybe 2 of them. Young is playing well no doubt, long may it continue. But Fellaini and especially Anderson should be sold.......why won't he cop a calf injury when the tiny legs are carrying his big tummy? I never advocated Cleverley being sold, i have always believed he should be kept as a SQUAD player. However i am not one of those that have compared him to Kroos,Gotze,Thiago etc ![]() |
Nihilist: Interesting quote from Van Gaal last nightDi Maria is pretty expensive and PSG were in poll position to sign him until recently. The major problem with our deals appears to be Woodward.....he is as clueless in transfer deals as he is accomplished in sponsorship deals. There is something amateurish about the way we have gone about our deals. Lets hope the Manchester United brand and Van Gaal's reputation bridges the gap |
Rojo,Blind, Di Maria. all left footed.....suspect it would be 2 out them not all 3 |
RuuDie: I feel you bro... perfectly! But if I was a Madrista, I'd be very worried because if and (or) when this team is found out; it may be very "unpretty"!LOL. i trust Ancelotti to find a solution, he is a pragmatist. It could be solved by adding one extra midfielder(Khedira or Alonso) to aid Modric and Kroos in big matches,removing Benzema and playing Rodriguez as a sorta false 9 with Ronaldo and Bale either side of him. There are several other alternatives, the trick is to make the adjustments without hamstringing the electric attack. That is why Ancelotti gets paid the big bucks |
RuuDie: I see where you are coming from but a near pedestrian Sevilla 'almost successfully' stifled them last night (fashi all the efizi they were doing) and still managed a few scares at the other end - now imagine if that was a perfect "park-the-bus" team like Chelsea...No one is saying they are definitely winning all competitions, however you have to admire their attack. And i so no stifling last night. They flowed quite well from midfield to attack considering they have had very little time to train together. Parking the bus is very effective against tiki taka teams that look to pass you to death and over-elaborate, not as effective against teams with pace and long distance shooting like this team. I repeat nobody is saying they will win all but that attack is looking very promising |
RuuDie: The Madrid you all are gushing over will be dismantled by a well-organized, quality side... even last night, with a little more pace and urgency, Sevilla would have punished them.That is why i said they have to sort out their defence, but anyway when they are scoring 4 goals against the organized side that side better score goals too |
Actually Cuadrado can play wing back, he was one of the best wing backs in Serie A 2 seasons ago then last season he was moved to wing forward and excelled also. My issue with the buy is that we should we be focusing on central midfield and defence where we have urgent needs rather than right wing back where we have 3 or 4 decent options already |
This Real team will score goals by the truckloads, they just have to sort their defence. |
n0m0705: True he is not mobile, but so is carrick and carrick has been one of our best for many years even with his slow motion. Plus Fellaini is comfortable on the ball than carrick and he is more combative, he only needs to check his tackling.fellaini more comfortable on the ball than carrick? |
coogar: fellaini started from the bench & got the winner. minus his goal, he was outstanding. anderson is injured......he won't be back till end of august.How can u get injured doing nothing more than stretching your hand across the table asking for more food like Oliver Twist? I can bet that he has a food related injury not a field related one. The guy has gotten paid far too long for doing nothing......he should be sold already! |
NOW REAL CHEERS ![]() |
codedguy1:ironic cheers......as in cheering him but actually jeering him. LOL |
Dadehmola: Shebi they say fellaini don cut hin hair?na attachment ![]() |
adnan is a class above everybody on the pitch.....just too obvious |
chrisley024: Is there any player on this RWB?lesson 1) lingaard is not a wing back, that his wing is leaking like a basket |
lesson 1) lingaard is not a wing back, that his wing is leaking like a basket |
lol nice assist by cleverley |
Dadehmola: I tire oo..yes he has been decent, but some fans probably expected a dominant world class player. That he is not.....yet |
chrisley024: This Herrera is average o. Though manageableLOL....u thought u were getting Fabregas or Thiago Alcantara? There is a reason why he is yet to play for Spain at 24 yrs of age. He is a good (not great) talent and more importantly he is better than many of the midfielders we have e.g the tall Belgian and the fat Brazilian |
Blind can play LB,LCB,LWB and DM and seems to be quite decent in those positions. He actually played in about 3 positions in the world cup and i suspect his best position going forward might actually be in DM |
michael carrick is 33yrs old and last season showed that he had lost what little pace and agility he had. Any club that buys him for 15million should sack its CEO. I don't see valencia going for 20m either unless one foreign nouveau riche club decides to replicate PSG's foolishness. In the comments attributed to Van Gaal about our wingers he is just saying what some of us have been saying all along.....our wide men are mediocre as wingers or wingforwards. They lack to creativity and consistency needed to play that role at the highest levels. Nani's problem is more of consistency while the one-legged Valencia and the hunchbacked Young more of creativity. What Van Gaal is implying is that if for any reason we have to change formation to 4231 or 442 during this season we might be in trouble with our present crop of wingers |
chrisley024: Ya, and shift Carrick and Blackett to the defence.blackett and blind compete for LCB positions. both of them are comfortable playing there cos its similar to their natural positions and they are both great passers of the ball. Carrick to move to the bench. If he had some pace he could have had some use in a 3 man defense but he is as slow as tortoise |
We dont need cuadrado. He is a good player but we already have 3 right wingbacks. if hummels aint coming and vermaelen is gone we could go for daley blind as a squad player and add depth to the defence. also a midfielder( preferably vidal) should come |
Dt hair dey weigh him body now, lets hope he will b able to move faster now. plus the extra breeze touching his head should make him play more intelligently |
raumdeuter: Yorubaland doesnt extend to Tanganyika, Cameroun Namibia etc. Let them pick their beef with whoever plundered their landoh ok thats the origin of your beef with them? forgive and forget na |
meanwhile e be like this tiger woods don finish sha. i hope he is not doing a torres on his fans? ![]() |
Nihilist: No doubt as to what kind of bar that was, if a random stranger manages to get your phone number, and send you pictures of yourself, while introducing himself as the 'tall guy'BUSTED!!! OH BOY EEEEE ![]() Hmmmmm no wonder Dayo is a Nazi. |
raumdeuter: At least they didnt come to colonize Nigeria unlike Churchills ancestors who came to pillage my Yorubaland. ![]() |
raumdeuter: At least they didnt come to colonize Nigeria unlike Churchills ancestors who came to pillage my Yorubaland.You have forgotten that the Germans were in Africa? They lost Cameroon, Togo,Tangayika and Namibia after the British had pummeled them (as usual) in the world war. Anyway maybe they were too busy frying those 6 MILLION JEWS u know? |
