I stopped believing in Van Gaal totally after that Spurs debacle in which he played Young in attack and Martial on the wing.
Imagine.

And someone wants to advocate for a borderline lunatic.

Even Godwin Koko Uwua and Gbenga Ogunbote won't make such bizarre tactical somersaults. Let alone a champions league winner with a supposed high pedigree

Harry Redknap and Martinez didn't win the Fa cup in their first 2 yrs in the EPl!
Van Gaal had no excuse to go trophyless with the amount he spent.

Both Martinez and Redknapp won the FA Cup with teams that were relegated eventually. On budgets that were not up to 1/3 of Uniteds.
Let that sink in your cranium.

Then tell us how van Gaal who won the Champions League while I was in secondary school is now sinking to the level of grasping at straws with the same FA Cup.
Tell us now whether his "feat" of winning the FA Cup with an expensively assembles squad is anything to gloat about, if you can find any perspective to place that win.

Kagawa10:
Van gaal was a coach who had to deal with number of injuries and rely on kids. At one time, we even had Fellaini playing in the striker role after Rooney got injured and the likes of CBJ and Varela as fullbacks. We didn't even have a worldclass striker such as Ibra except for Rooney who stunk the whole place with his sluggishness until Rashford emergence.
And who signed the "world class striker Ibra" that was missing under LvG's tenure, despite splashing cash massively? My father?

All I see are excuses in bold.
It is his duty to fortify the side with adequate personnel.
This hue and cry of no striker is his business. Especially when he spent 60 million a feeble Di Maria.


Next.

Kagawa10:
[s]That's to tell you the lot of things Van gaal faced yet still [b]archived [/b]something![/s]
didn't know van Gaal worked in Records to archive anything.

The statement above means nothing. Please redo it so we can understand.

OR are you punching above your weight?

Kagawa10:
Why is it now a bad thing if similar feat is expected from Mourinho?
Oga, Mourinho is not shirking from his expectations. He boldly made his stance before the season began.

So far he is pointing the side in the right direction. Whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not.

He has made his mistakes and will learn from them and the team will be better, unlike neophyte Moyes and arrogant van Gaal who played Ashley Young as striker and Martial wide left in the 3-nil loss to Spurs.

All you can do is peddle up half-truths, dig up worn out excuses and generally say anything to rubbish Jose and praise a failed van Gaal.

Kagawa10:
This already showed Both Herrera and Shaw weren't Van gaal signings!
I really find it funny when people claims a coach who was still at the worldcup with his Holland team at the time both players were signed, was signing players for United.

Abegi!

BTW, Bastain wasn't signed for 14mil like Mirror stated, he was signed for 7.??mil, half of that fees. Once you've calculated everything Van gaal spent minus the 45mil recouped from Di maria sales, it wasn't even up to 150mil in 2 seasons! Mourinho spent 150mil in a season!
It is on record that van Gaal signed serious duds for very exorbitant fees. and can boast of the same equivalent of Moyes (top four finish) and Martinez (FA Cup win)

Kagawa10:
Van gaal won the FA cup in his final season and was in the top 4 in the previous season.

Mourinho would have to archive similar feat or better before any compliment would be given.

He's done well so far though.
You would want to argue that jose spent lots of money this season and is in 6th.
But you don't want to hear how one grumpy old fart spent a quarter of a million players mostly on duds over two seasons and ended up with modest achievements.

So choose which side of your double-standard you want to stand on.

Scrap metal managers like Harry Redknapp and Roberto Martinez have actually won the FA Cup, while Wenger is saving himself from being an utter failure by clutching to two FA Cup wins. When you think that Tony Pulis, Alan Pardew, David Moyes, Kenny Dalglish have reached the final of the same FA Cup you are singing to the heavens about, I don't know whether to bracket it along any list of serious achievements a club manager will be putting on a CV to manage a top club like United.

Why are you people arguing with someone that thinks Moyes was the right person for United? The same Moyes who has NEVER won anything of note in his managing career and has subsequently flirted with relegation everywhere he has gone.

Why waste your time with such a person?
That person was using a ludicrous "sample space" argument to justify mourinho being a failure.

I'm sure the Sunderland/Cattermole/Moyes fan who visits here every now and then is watching as well.

Even if we go with the silly notion of yours that they weren't his signings, he spent close to 200 million.

Your poor diction aside, how was Di Maria's fee recovered when we bought for 60 and sold him for 44.5?
Is your brain still on christmas break?

Ode ni e! I for ignore ur rants. But this one don pass foolishness.
How is Moyes dat took Champions to seventh with poor performances all through the season better than Mourinho's United. Were we ever even close to the top 4 wen Moyes was here??
I'd say u should use ur sense but we all know u dont ve
The Moyes who said United was apiring to be like City.
The Moyes who lost by 3-nil at Old Trafford to Liverpool and City in the same season.
The Moyes who kept us oscillating between 7th and 10th on the table.

Let's be listening to his "sample space".

agabusta:
For your information, the man was appointed into the position by GEJ, and has been there since 2011.

Given that it was this same Obazee that was used to illegally relieve Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of his duties, the man is not to be trusted. He may have ulterior motives.

SLS decided to do a whitsle blowing to the massive fraud being perpetrated by the NNPC during GEJ time, instead of the Financial Reporting Council to give him accolades, they decided to open one silly case which the then President found convenient to use in easing out the CBN Gov. who was a torn in their looting flesh.

Additional information for your consumption. Sanusi later floored the GEJ led Nigerian government and FRCN in court.
It just goes to show you how half-baked our Nigerian populace is.
They can't even read through and sift the contents of a publication before arriving at a conclusion.


Now that you have pointed out the irony of his statement, watch how he will come up with another uneducated conspiracy regarding the same position.

The same wailers who have been shouting Buhari is persecuting the church cannot even think to save their lives if the need arose.

It is these same half-baked nitwits that will attempt to lecture you on what is actually going on. These same half-brained people want to own an opinion no matter how loose, vacuous ,empty and irresponsible those opinions are.

I'm ashamed of the mindset of the average Nigerian.

Carlos Queiroz has told Manchester United fans not to worry too much about where the team finishes this season, but to appreciate the fact that, under Jose Mourinho, the team is finally moving in the right direction.
Queiroz had two spells as Alex Ferguson's assistant at Old Trafford, most notably from 2004 to 2008. Since Ferguson stepped down in 2013, successors David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal struggled to match the Scot's achievements.
Jose Mourinho was appointed in May and under the Portuguese coach, the Red Devils have recovered from a sticky start to put together an 11-game unbeaten run in the English Premier League that includes maximum points from the last six.
"As a fan of Manchester United who has many friends still at the club, it is good to see the team getting good results," Queiroz, a former manager at Real Madrid and Portugal, told ESPN FC.
At the moment, United sit in sixth spot in the standings but are just five points behind Liverpool in second. The two rivals meet on Sunday at Old Trafford.
Queiroz believes that it is not just about where the team could finish this season, with hopes of a first top-four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification, but where it is going.
"The game against Liverpool is important as is the final places in the league," said the 63 year-old. "But it is more important that after some tough times, Manchester United are back on the right track."
"It is happening step by step but it is happening and the club is moving forward again. For a while after Sir Alex left, it was not in the right position and did not have the right atmosphere but that is changing."
I guess Prof "sample space" will read this and start abusing Queiroz as well.

You also forgot to mention that LVG lost 3 - 0 to Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton respectively. Out of the four times he played Swansea City in the EPL, he was able to win only once. Swansea, Westbrom, Norwich and Southampton that are not top teams nor title contenders all took their turns by beating us at Old Trafford. We lost a match we were leading by two goals to Leicester by 5 - 3.

I don't even want to go to the shame Moyes put this club through.
When simple perspective eludes some nincompoop they tend to say the most outlandish things. Despite my personal misgivings about Jose I cannot deny that the side looks and feels and promises to be better.
Leave that old wartbag to keep fooling himself and ranting like a kegite.
When van Gaal spent nearly £250 million buying chaff like schneiderlin memphis and mental midgets like di maria and could only get us one consolatory FA cup, this madman under Ojota bridge is still screaming murder over a manager who has got the side attacking better and scoring more than Moyes and van Gaal ever managed.

Your father? Every one knows he is a traditional ruler but also adds as the Head of all Muslim bodies.. The question is why can't an Imam have that position?
[s]Or did he propagate Islam to south Western Muslims who got introduce to the religion by the malians? So why then should he be the head of all Muslims in Nigeria..[/s]
See why I call you illiterate and stup1d? I won't even bother to respond to the crossed out parts. It's because it simply has no bearing whatsoever to the argument.

If you were paying attention, you would know that the code does not apply to his position as Sultan of Sokoto. A Traditional title.


I'm going to leave the argument there, because that was my initial position.

Go back, read through your post, and see what is wrong with it. Then come back and correct yourself.

I forgot, you are illiterate, only trying too hard to show you are intelligent.


Vorpal:
It's obvious you lack the mental rigor to understand the politics the northern lords are playing at.
It is obvious that you are foolish enough to ask for the Sultan to step down from his position as Sultan over this code.

Be updated.The Financial Reporting council in charge of overseeing non for profit organizations was created and signed into law in 2011, This particular tenure ship law proposed by them was brought up last year,2016 and became effective, October 2016. These are the lies we are telling to justify it. Lets stop twisting fact.
You will do well to stop peddling this half-assed point.

Did you also tell your ilk that this matter had been in court for several years courtesy of these so-called leaders, Adeboye inclusive?

Does your common sense not tell you that had the matter not been in court, that it would have been implemented earlier than now?

Can you stop running away from the glaring truth that it was an idea first proposed by Jonathan's government, and would have been implemented by him, had the mater not been in court?

It is a shame you want to hide the real facts of the matter to get your point across.

Yes, Reno the rambling 1diot will talk.

He has conveniently forgotten that it was his brother Jonathan who SIGNED this motion into law, and that churches fought this law in court almost immediately it was signed.


This buzz f0ol called Reno should STFU.

As per the Southern Kaduna killings, while it is rather strange that Buhari has not visited, this fo0l called Reno should NOT twist the facts.

Vorpal:
He is the Sultan of Sokoto as well as the head of all Muslim bodies in Nigeria

He either abdicate the post of the head of the supreme Muslum bodies or vacate the throne of sultan of sokoto.

The Awujale and Alaafin do not head any religious bodies added to their hereditary title that has been even before the existence of Nigeria.

And later , you will count yourself among those who are educated and literate.

How does the position of Sultan fall under the code, given that he is first a traditional ruler before being given the responsibility of being the spiritual head of muslims?

If you weren't bending under your desk and peeping and girls pant during social studies in Primary 4, you wouldn't come here to type this nonsense.

So how many players are different in United from the team that played last season
Four new players to answer your question.

But check the list of players who have left United since Fergie left and see why you can't use that as a yardstick.

Only Rooney (nearly a squad player) Carrick (recently restored to the starting side) Young (hardly makes the bench) Valencia and De Gea are left from United's last title win.

Just 5 players.

Plus Pedro

And tats basically the side that almost got relegated last season
Relegated or not the side wasn't built overnight.

I didn't include Pedro with Fabregas and William simply because these players appear to be squad players along with Terry and Zouma who are out injured.

The present Chelsea side already has a reliable spine in spite of their misfortune last season. The new manager has added tactical variation, few solid players who fit their roles within the system and perhaps a better work ethic/determination that wasn't there last term.

I honestly don't think Chelsea fits your description of a newly built side.

Guanluigi Buffon cost €52m in the summer of 2001 and is still the most expensive goalkeeper I guess. How many goals and assist has he got yet?

I know Edwin van dar Sar got the odd assist here and there for MUFC, he cost about £7m.
I know Jose Luis Chilavert got the odd goals here and there, he cost less than £5m.

this is why it is important to follow timeline of events.
If you have the time, you can read Zlatan's appraisal of Paul Pogba at the heat of '£89m'. What he said is true, but more importantly, when he said it.

Anthony Martial did himself big favors by flying out the tracks like an F-liner jet before merchants armed to teeth with clubs and sharp daggers like Nihilist could say "Mallam cut suya". You cannot even begin to imagine the rocks that would have landed on him had he managed anything like a slow start... and all for what? £57m will fill the air; never mind he was a virtually unknown.

You should be thankful the management got the signings they did last summer if you are a Manchester United fan. No championship winning team was built in 6 months.
Perspective eludes lots of people.
Haters inclusive.
