PietroRico: Interesting quote from LvG meanwhile.
"I have found that I am dealing with players who are not able to perform at the level I expect, who don’t want to perform how I want. Both categories of players will be shown the door.”
He's just realised that some players' shitness are beyond redemption perhaps.
The coloured part suggests that some people are resisting his methods
It'll be Interesting to know who they are, maybe nani was one.

That's the link to the full interview.
He said a lot of 'interesting' things there

The last few days of this transfer season should be really interesting if LvG actually feels this way!

Its be obvious, that we have players who don't feel committed to our cause immediately SAF left. Moyes did not help matters, LvG has to make his changes and then take full responsibility.

Chai, my beloved Man U!

I dey siddon look mode till 2sept!

We are not serious. Did they alter the revenue sharing formular to include fend for yourself and pay tax to the FG.

Because if the amount of money all commissioners of finance from each state go to collect from abuja IS STILL THE SAME then they are deceiving themselves.

Let me read that report first sef. But I think creation of state is just being stupid without addressing fundamental issues of true federalism.

@ coogar

Are you joking bout Woodward forgeting his phone?

You dey find trouble! You wan make Elampawa get premature erecction!

Rooney is the best thing that happened since agoyin beans.

Don't be surprised when this same Oyegun will defect to PDP.

When 5 gov left PDP for APC it did not reflect on the condition of the nigerian elite?

This is Politics, no permanent friends, No permanent enemies!

afrodoc: We have spent about 120m pounds or more on 4 players in the last 1yr.
Don't deceive yourself it is not about money but about our transfer team not being able to convince players.
Ander Herrera cost as much if not more than Fabregas
Fellaini cost more than Toni Kroos.
So we could not outbid Roma for Strootman who cost less than 15m pounds? Yet we are paying double that for a teenager that is unproven
It is all about the silly people in charge of our transfers and nothing to do with money

I agree with your position that we seem to have silly people people in charge of transfers but I thought Fabregas didn't want to come and LvG stopped the Kroos deal.

Why strootman, Blind and Vidal are not yet in United is still a mistery. LvG needs to act or state exactly who he wants now. Hope he has already given Woodhead a list.

I wish this transfer season will just end already, let's know who we are going into the season with.

Its getting tiring waiting to see if anyone would come in or not.

Although its just one round of games but all our supposed rivals bar everton won their games.
Chelsea, Man city, Arsenal, Liverpool, tottenham, and Eveton.

Once again. Welcome Van Gaal!!!

coogar: you should go to bed!
you talk a lot of good game yourself but a cursory glance at your posts on this thread reeks of dïck-riding elampawa.
it's funny you accuse starboard as mr echo when all you do is ride elampawa's dïck like benz. i doubt there's ever been a debate where you are opposite elampawa's views.
if he says rooney is the best player in the world, you are on that side. i have never seen you oppose any of his views. you are his yes-man, you even fight his battles for him sometimes when the heat is intense.
before you throw stones, check yourself too!

Canons have been shot!!

Nihilist: Or is codedguy1 the replacement for Mr Me Too?

Hahahaha you wish!!!

coogar: he will get it right - he needs few additions but our squad is good enough to compete for the title.

I know LvG must have been personally embarrassed by losing that first game. It would have jolted him and I know he will react. His experienced won't make him panick anyways.

We need to see those few additions now.

coogar: united's philosophy has never been throwing money at every problem. it's about bringing youth players through with few additions of mercenary players. the last squad that won in europe for us had brown, o'shea, saha, js park, etc in it. the squad was hardly scary too.
/quote]

Considering what we went through last season with Moyes with reference to where we finished on the table and no european football (CL in particular) I think we need to throw some money for quality, albeit, the right quality. LvG has come in and has said he is assessing the team. We will soon see the result of his assessment at the end of this transfer season.

[quote author=coogar]we just need to get players loyal to the cause. vidic & evra weren't marquee players when we bought them but they gave it their all. it's about the heart & the determination. are our players doing enough to even wear the red shirt? the big players are letting us down.
wanyama has destroyed gerrard in the game i am watching as we speak & he costs about 10% of gerrard's value. if you compare the united team that won the treble to the top teams in europe in 98/99, we were the most inferior of the lot!

I agree! We need players who might also be used to this system, they will help our present defenders better understand the system.

98/99 is a long time. Things have changed oo.

coogar: we have 2 of the top 4 highest earners in the football world. understandably, one of them was mostly injured & unfit for most of the last season, the other is just useless and not worth the hype or the money spent on him.
there's kagawa, hernandez, rafael, mata, nani & herrera. you can hardly say these aren't top class players in their own rights. surely, we need experience in the defence & one marquee signing in the black hole we call the midfield and that's it.

Yes we need experience in the defence and Midfield and am optimistic LvG will address it.
I just want to say that when quality is surrounded by quality it only leads to success. When the bulk of the team is quality it will improve the likes of young new players being blooded in. When one has too many average players that pretend to be quality because they manage to play for united its a disaster, young players will struggle and and quality will drop. I wonder why Madrid and Barca always try to break the bank just to make sure the quality in their team is 80%.it only helps the supposedly young potential players they bring in. Bayerns buys everything that's is exceptional in their league just to make sure they stay top.

coogar: LVG will get it right......but he needs to start telling the fat scouser to shape up or get benched. there's no way a fat scouser should be earning the best salary in world football & yet producing the effort of a second division striker in afghanistan league.

I am actually scared of agreeing with you on this again because on pea-sized brained billygoat in Edo state will assume that's the official position of everybody in the thread.

coogar: codedguy, e don do na
the issue is done & dusted, we should be looking at who to bring in & assess the new faces. this bickering will not achieve nada.

what do you think of blackett? apart from letting bony take the freekick that led to the second goal, he was flawless yesterday.

lingard also tried his best before he got injured. should we keep the young lads or send them on loan to the bottom teams?

Truth be told we have found ourselves in an unfamiliar place and it aint comfortable.
LvG is the only thing that is keeping hope alive now! I think.

Blacket, lingard, James are decent guys but we don't need them to play a lot of games thes season, they should be playing in FA cup and the rest.

We need to buy marquee players especially defenders, but again anyone we buy form outside the EPL will have to adapt to it and then adapt to the new formation with 3defenders if that's the route LvG wants to take.

We are supposed to be Man United rubbing shoulders with the likes of RM, Barca and Bayern yet we have pple like Young, Cleverly, Fellaini, Valencia, Nani etc manning our wings and midfield. Compare that to RM, bayern and Barca- Ronaldo, shweini, Robbery, muller, iniesta, xavi,Lahm, Messi, Bale, James, Alonso, busquets, Kroos, even isco sef.

We have a lot of featherweight in that team, but I trust LvG sha.

In the Moyes era we gave him sometime, so make i give LvG 2months, except he does not desrve it because THIS IS LOUIS VAN GAAL THE MASTER TACTICIAN!

elampiro: You are a grade one slowpoke. After you foolishly opened your coconut head and washed your brain with salt and water with your belief you will become immune to ebola, nothing is left of your sense.

Its now obvious you are the retarded guinean fruitbat that has caused the latest scourge ravaging west Africa.

Bloody twunt!

elampiro: How would it look like after every match I come here to blame RVP or Young, and then I have at least four disciples who blindly follow me week in week out for 18 months non stop? Then again I use it to interrupt every discussion. If I mentioned names, you would then see that there are constant disciples who really have no opinion of theirs.
I have never blamed any one player so badly after a match. 'Cos I know no one player can completely win or ruin a match. Bale and Modric wouldn't help Tottenham to win the EPL in a thousand years. Messi or CR7 won't won't even achieve that.
Here it's same thing every day.

Listen to yuorself for a min or two. You would realize that you are a consumate pleb!

You do a lot of diservice to those who share your opinion on issues as nonentities because you are pained about others that support someone else.


You must realise that pple will have diff of opinions and be biased with them. If you can't handle that I suggest you find the nearest flight and head back to guinea where you trully belong.

What do u want from this thread, that everyone should follow your opinion and everythin would be sweet and dandy cos we are all on the same page?

If someone continues to insist that Rooney is shyte, with his own fact, why can't you continue to state ur own opinion with your facts or take your own advise and ignore it.

Stop being a sissy!!

^^^

My friend stop talking as if your brain has been quarantined from suspicion of Ebola.

You keep equating coogars opion on Rooney as everybody's opinion. Have peeps here not expressed their opinon about Rooney that supports you and there are others who also support coogars opinion about Rooney.

Coogar praises Young to high heaven on this thread and there are many including myslf who think Young is a fraud! And have expressed it vehemently here.

So stop talking nonsense because a few pple agree with coogar on Rooney.

The diff btw you and coogar is he will defend his position no matter what is said about his opinion but you on the other hand pple just wanna gang up against when there are pple who also hold your view on some issues. No when coogar says something, against your opinion, to you- its the opinion on the thread and you start whinning.

Stop telling us you are tired of this place everytime, please do something about it!

elampiro: We are now like jobless people possessed with a demon to waste God's given precious time.

When you post things like this, you just expose how immature you are!

Air you view and let others do their's and stop making sweeping statements like you are victim of circumstances.

In football palance 300k is a lot of money and we expect anyone earning in that bracket to perform like his is paid. Rooney is a good player but he is nothing of the 300k/pwk player that we expect him to be.

If coutinho, sterling and the rest are punching above their pay then they deserve a raise and I believe when the time comes they will get it.

We complain about other players and have said here many times how young manages to shaft united 118kperwk is the 8th wonder of the world.

In employment you payment is mostly tied to performance or why do some players take pay cut. Will they take pay cut when their performances are on the ascendency?

Nihilist: Same Rooney that is only a goal away from equalling Henry's EPL total flatters to deceive?

Wetin man no go read for this thread?

Rooney flatters to deceive joh.

For someone shafting United of 300k/pwk he should atleast be doing what Suarez is doing/did for liverpool.

If Rooney has kept on coming 3rd in the last 3 Ballon d'or behind Ronaldo and Messi with a ridiculous amount of goals and excellent performances better than what he has been dishing out. Nobody will complain.

@ coogar I totally agree with your analysis of Rooney. He seems to lead us to nothing everytime he his made the main man. Rooney has been steadily declining in his performances in this club he just flatters to deceive by either scoring a goal when he is also having a stinker of a game and that blinds everyone.

But ought to also agree that your defence of young in that United team is becoming a joke! Young is the greatest scam in the history of Man u. This was a guy I personally felt was a united player with his exploits in AV and was happy he came to United, to say he has been a disappointment is an understatement. The Id1ot gave us sterling perfomances in pre season only to start showing himself in the first game of the season under LvG.

Granted almost everyone was piss poor today, I just wanted to talk about these two cos Elampiro can kill for Rooney while you always find a way of blaming Rooney even when a defender is at fault for a goal.

I feel both of them should even go considering what we expect of them and what they serve!

coogar: at least, buying vidal now is a must! no more patching up & structuring up. all that possession in the first half but nothing to show for it.

this isn't LVG's fault.
the formation gave us plenty of the ball but we failed to sting swansea with all the possession we had.

Vidal = $48M + Januzaj + hernandez + Nani + Giggs

DJ abeg get ready Jare!

So, is LvG useless?

Tvegas: Honestly i dont know what wooodward has been waiting for, lots of decent players were available even before the worldcup

I can't blame Woodward for anything, except you have evidence that LvG has identified players and given him the go ahead and he is still stalling.

Or you know that Woodward can identify any player himself and the go ahead and buy without the coaches consent.

Even if we win this game, we aint out of the perception of being vulnerable and beatable.

teeo: Thank heavens the transfer market is still open we could as well ship him to Southampton quick quick

Well other clubs will now 3ple the price of any player we even blink at, and as for the ones we have been linked with, the shakara go multiply exponentially.

PietroRico: 352 is just a makeshift/back up formation.
Van gaal isn't playing 433 because of the squad's imbalance and lack of certain manner of players.
I don't expect him to engineer his transfer policy towards buying players to fit into 352.
That's another thing making this window a complex one(I think).
I'm pretty sure he's looking for ways to remould the squad so as to be able to pull off 433.

How the players and maybe new signings will adapt quickly to the new 3-4-1-2 formation will be critical for us. Am only hoping we gat the 433 covered.

But then this is the EPL, new formation, new coach, new philosophy!

Let's go there!

RuuDie: Hmm.... The LIKE word again!

Wetin you dey wonder about the LIKE word?

chrisley024: 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.

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.

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

What if LvG loses his first 3 games!!!

Just saying.....!


That line up is cool, hope the opposition will not want to explore the positions of those two new guys, also heard swansea seem to be in some sort of disarray now sha.

We should be able to get 3points ooo.

The amount of new monikers that appeared on this thread recently says a lot.

Chai diariz God ooo

I just wish LvG and the players will read the last 6pages of this thread before they enter the pitch tomorrow.

I bet it will have a positive impact.

This is discombobulating!

Blood and thunder!

Like play like play na naija go discover cure for this ebola and USA go beg for the cure.

Nano Sylver here we come. i pray the drug works well when administered.
