Very painful we can't compare the huge amount spent under a year with the quality we've brought in.

It's like we bought nothing.

@elampiro, I get what you're saying.

Though I believe he has already listed out the players he needs afterall he said the team lacks balance and just recently that it also lacks quality players.

I also believe he has already assessed the squad since only Fellaini and Januzaj missed the pre-season tour.

His comments which include getting a player under 24hrs are to calm down fans. The truth is that our dealings in transfer window since the days of the Glazers have been more of a mirage. It has even become worse in this time of WoodHead.

elampiro: ^^^

Hope the over sabi posters who know more than the board members at Old Trafford can now shut up. Always looking for scapegoat in matters they are ignorant about. Woodward this Woodward that.


Drawing conclusions without having iota of the facts.

If you think he hasn't identified his targets to be purchased then think again.

Van Gaal on new arrivals this summer: “We Can Buy In 24 Hours”

codedguy1: True, but will our players understand how to adapt to the switch of formation and carry out the instructions to d later considering that this new system is new to them.

Switching from 3-4-1-2 to 4-3-3 when we are chasing a game could be tricky.

Ofcourse that's one of the things they're learning during the training session, or you think they only jog?

Blind, Vidal, Rojo, Di Maria, Hummels, etc NADA! And no official word that we are done with our transfers.

I believe we'll still get player(s) before end of the transfer window but don't ask me who

To those that have received the stuff.
What's it all about?

Dadehmola: And that would be who's fault? Woodward's or LVG's?

WoodHead's fault ofcourse. That's his job.

afrodoc: Remember i suspected van gaal would go for it.
I dont like it personally cos its a home run or strike out formation. When it fails it fails woefully.
i suspect we will be on the wrong end of at least one brazil sized drubbing this season

LvG uses also 4-3-3, so he switches to it when the default is not working. He's a tactical coach.

The problem he's going to face is lack of quality players in defence and midfield.

poseidonn: Just received a text now,dss officer cadet interview is scheduled for 30th august,#teamFCT!!!!
You have been shortlisted for the DSS Cadet officer interview on Sat 30:08:14. Report to the FCT Command Asokoro at 8am prompt with necessary writing materials.

Interview? Did u guys write any test?

afrodoc: Nice. A good opportunity for rafael to show van gaal what he is made of. I belief rafael's skill set is tailor made for the wing back position.....just concerned about his stamina and durability.

Don't think any of our defenders can play 7 successive games without getting injured.

Rafael is fit.

.......................DDG.....................


Jones..........Smalling.............Blackett


Rafael....Herrera...Fletcher.....Young


..................... Mata...................

.......Rooney........Hernandez.....

Rafael is fit according to LvG.

Young on the LWB and Rafael on the RWB

From a United fan on our midfielders

Anderson who seems to damage himself on the greasy floors of the local KFC.

Carrick who they say is injured as he wasn't moving much(didn't they watch him last season) and,

my favourite of the lot Cleverly, aka pass me the ball so I can pass it back to a defender so my stats look good.

Nihilist: I seek no trouble at all o.

But isn't it curious that all the regulars on this thread have very unique identifiers?

Elampiro - Multiple stats and a love for Rooney

Binghinaya and his graduation gown

Dahdemola and his style of crossing out posts he disagrees with. Hates cleverly

Coded01 for spamming everywhere with pics

Chrisley for his textspeak hates young and Valencia

Sailorxy always asking for dstv schedule like his decoder doesn't have TV guide.

Yourself for your medical references, sly jabs and constant references to Anderson's weight

MrTa for his pseudoacademic posting style

Ruudie for his constant use of multiple exclamation marks and blind faith and unshakeable optimism

And then there is Mr Me Too....who is only known for being a human echo

No offence to anybody o.

Just my 2 kobo

Add Cleverly to my blackbook

RuuDie: And the "Rojo business" gets more intriguing by the day...

https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-reported-bid-sparks-rojo-row-102918776--sow.html

Very bizarre case, why someone would sign such contract is beyond me.
So they will pay another 75%(of 17m) if United makes another bid of £17m..

coogar: £30m investment?
pray he serves us well? do you know how many european players we could have gotten for that fee? rojo is 20 times better than shaw and he's £15m. we could have gotten hummels & rojo for the fee we paid for shaw.

I was never in support of his buy cos of his price but we're stuck with him . We'll only wish he comes good.

coogar: too early to judge?
so you bought a brand new car that's supposed to cost half of what you paid. few days before you decided to launch it, you discovered a big engine problem that will take the car 4 weeks to fix.

is that a bad market or not?

We've nothing else to do than to pray he serves us well.

coogar: the worst market ever.....
he was ridiculously expensive, he arrived unfit & van gaal had to straighten him out & now he's injured for 4 weeks.

how did he pass his medicals for fück's sake? we can spend £30m on this rubbish & we couldn't spend this on hummels who is 20 times better?

I think it's too early to judge

Bad market

Cleverly is the worst midfield we've now.
Other midfielders are known for atleast one quality including Anderson, who's known for constant attack play irrespective of the opponent, but Cleverly?! Players would wish more of his likes as their opponent.

Cluelessness is an understatement. He is in the team cos of the state of our midfield.

Then I hibernate till then.

LVG says Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia all doubtful for MUFC first game of season against Swansea.

So we'll likely play with 2day's defenders.
Season has not even started and this

IYANGBALI: just this performance?the guy is not good enough for us

That's d only the coach has to assess him.

Dadehmola: Fellaini didn't do anything spectacular jare

He brought back what we've lacked since Fletcher left

Fellaini for 1st team

Will be unfair to eject him after this performance

Rooney has been piss poor!

Fellaini has been decent o. Maybe na Cleverly go leave

Is there any player on this RWB?

Cleverly assist

SailorXY: Rooney smh

3rd time. SMH

Fletcher!

Rooney again.
Poor first touch
