LVG on the importance of experience in his players-


‘I’m not always convinced of the experience of players. I have said a lot of times, a boy like Clarence Seedorf, he was 16, I let him make his debut.

‘Sometimes he was more experienced than a player of 30 – it depends on the personality.

‘You named Rooney but Michael Carrick, he was injured the day before. That is a big blow because he is an experienced player.

‘So we need experience, not only in age, but also as a human being. My philosophy is not only the football player but the total.'

LVG on sanctioning summer signings and giving players a chance


‘My method is always the same – I want to look at the players I have now. I want to see in the first few weeks what they can do. Maybe then I shall buy others players.
'Shaw and Herrera were already on the list. I gave my approval because I like them. I want to see the (current) players perform with my philosophy.’


LVG in no rush to name new captain and will take time announcing one


‘All the players are a possible candidate (for captain). But I have to get to know them. The captain’s role is very important and therefore I need time.
'Sometimes I haven’t had time and I’ve made quick decisions, which aren’t always good. I will take my time because the captain is very important'.

coded01: According to the Mirror: "The players poised to be shown the door by Van Gaal include Ashley Young, Wilfried Zaha, Marouane Fellaini, Bebe, Anderson, Tom Cleverley, Nani and Nick Powell.

"With Patrice Evra leaving for Juventus just weeks after being handed a new deal and striker Javier Hernandez open to a move elsewhere to play more regularly, Van Gaal could jettison as many as 10 of Moyes’ squad."

For Nani fans, he is not needed... Says Van Gaal... ---- Di Maria all the way...

elampiro: Reports in Italy has it that he resigned when United met Juve demand on Vidal, and the reality that Pogba will also depart.

kobonaire: I like that.... or even Golden Tortoise

I know the Brazilians want to award Fred the "Golden donkey" ..... poor chap

kobonaire: Bros, please do not call Naija's beloved super eagles a 'useless football nation'. It is against one of the unwritten NL rules and Seun can ban you for life for that ....

ollah1: Robben the diver. The naive captain.
In 2010, Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball award despite been behind Mueller in goals and they finished fourth nobody complained we neither hate nor like him.

In 2006, Zidane won the Golden Ball award with 3 goals(2 penalties) and 1 assist. Got a red card in the final. They finished as runner up. nobody complained cos we all like him.

Messi scored important goals that took Argentina to the next round. Muller goals weren't really important.
This isn't about being a die hard fan or not. Its about the fact you haters can't just accept.

gladpresh: Neuer ---- Golden glove
Messi --- Golden ball
Rodriguez --- Golden boot
Suarez --- Golden teeth
Mikel obi --- Golden what?

ollah1: Dude this is 2014. Apparently u aren't talking about this world cup

ollah1: Di maria scored just a goal and Messi created it. Ronaldo didn't fight for La Liga till the end cos they lost two matches to the end but Messi fought for it. Suarez was also unfit but he still scored goals that placed his team in the knock out round. Di maria even said he would tell his unborn son that he played along side Messi. Against Holland, he the captain took the front role to take the spot kick, Hw many captains does that? What would you say about that bravely took the first spot? Robben on the other side didn't even take the spot kick at all and he was the captain that period. Germany had more possession but Argentina had more clear cut chances. They should have sealed it in regulation time. They could have sealed it there. Germany became more powerful cos they had better subs(schrulle and gotze). Who can come from Argentina's bench to change their game?

That spark was done against Belgium when he assisted Di Maria with his goal. That spark was done against Holland when he took the first shot cos if he has failed Argentina wouldn't have lost that match. So what spark are u talking about?

n0m0705: @Squawka: Lionel Messi managed just 3 shots on target during Argentina's 4 games in the World Cup knockout stages. #ARG http:///JwvnNPPEvg"
Elamp where are you?

thegoodjoehunt: Luis might have made mistakes but he put in his work and won a lot of balls.

Joarams: Good player no doubt. But like someone said, don't bother yourself, this is marketing for FIFA. He didn't even make the FIFA/Castrol Index Official Statistics Top 10 Players or Team of the Tournament

"Messi? I would give him heaven if possible,
But it's not right when someone wins something that he shouldn't have won just because of some marketing plan."
-Maradona

Keky: Martins Indi is coming to Old Trafford.

Gbemini: who tells you the golden ball was given to messi by Blatter?Ignorant is a disease? Messi deserve d award period,if you dont like him den go and jump into the lagoon.

homesteady: in the match against Switzerland, di maria got only 2.5 stars in goal.com rating just to show how useless he was in the match! normally after scoring the only goal in a match, the player use to even become MOTM, but di maria was far from it, so stop giving him undue praises!

elampiro: Messi won the FIFA best. FIFA is right. It was straight between Robben and Messi for those who are objective. Messi was the outstanding player tonight trying to single handedly create a victory.

coogar: i trust you.
let's be honest - messi isn't maradona. he's not even half as good. maradona bosses games even when he loses. maradona = messi + keane(creative side).

messi was very flat tonight. very disappointing. he huffed & puffed but he lacked that cutting edge of what pele, maradona & fat ronaldo have achieved in a world cup final.
