Odunharry: but he is better than all our CM
no, he's not - he plays in a quality team so his inadequacies are well masked. cleverley would look like keane in that madrid squad too. modric is good but it also helps when you are surrounded by world class quality!

Odunharry: we rily need someone to help control d tempo of our game..

Imagine modric in our team.

We nid a DM,CM,CB..
our situation needs more than modric. we need destroyers - vidal, strootman, song! modric is a younger version of carrick or a rich man's cleverley. grin

Besides, as a woman, being empathetic is something females need to work on, we can't always copy males in everything.

it's the safest pass.....
however, it allows opposing teams to quickly organise & defend better.

chrisley024: I don't think we'll get another defender. Likely a midfielder and that ends it until maybe the next transfer window.
there's fire on the mountain then....

the players are all wired that way. rooney's own is the worst. i can't remember the last time i saw a vertical pass from rooney. they always go to the sides - long & short passes.

james rodriguez scores!

what a player!!!

de gea - ?? - ?? - rooney - RVP

we need 2 world class players at least to fill in the gaps in the defence & midfield.

chrisley024: His signing doesn't displace other needed signings.
@ £60m?
unless we have now added drug-trafficking to our business at old trafford, there's no way we would pay that amount for a winger & still buy vidal, hummels, blind, etc.

we should focus on the area we need reinforcement the most & that's replacing rio/vidic and scholes/hargreaves. we have enough wingers at united - di maria isn't really a considerable upgrade on what we presently have.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 11:33pm On Aug 19, 2014
chrisley024: @coogar @montelik
The truth is our team is like it has no winger. Pls don't mention Val and Young. Like I also stated above, the presence of Di maria will allow him to switch easily between the 2 formations. We don't even know the one he'll use mostly. LvG said we lack good wingers and the reason he has sticked with 3-5-2.
so you would rather we spend that amount on a winger while overlooking the gaping holes? do we have a world class defender? do we have a world class central midfielder? look around us, city + chelsea + spurs + arsenal.

di maria would flop without a strong defensive backup.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 11:28pm On Aug 19, 2014
montelik: Waste, waste, waste. We already have wingers at the club, experienced ones for that matter. What we don't have are enough central defenders, both numbers wise and experience wise and a proper assortment of central midfielders. Yet we will blow £50m on winger who was similar erractic form issues as Nani. £50m that would get a Hummels, Benatia, Subotic e.t.c and still have change for a decent central midfielder like Song or Clasie.
i wonder why we would pay £60m for a di maria that cannot even get into the madrid team. we are paying top dollar for a madrid reject......it's a different thing if they are fighting to keep him like juventus are doing to vidal. ancelotti is practically begging us to come pay for him - is that what we have become? i thought they said fergie is upstairs - shouldn't he have a say in this embarrassing fiasco?

If na by force to sign a winger, get a Memphis Depay rather than over pay for Di Maria who doesn't fit the system, but whose transfer fee will necessitate finding a way of shoehorning him into the lineup. (e.g Berba in 08-09)
i would rather get pedro or etherington sef! we should be looking at investing in top class central defenders & central midfielders. hummels & vidal should be our focus - there's no leader in that our defence & i doubt carrick can be as influential like he was in his heydays!

SailorXY: dademola & afrodoc don't believe we need that spine to screen the back four, they still believe in Carrick screening an inexperienced defence & strengthening the strikers position undecided
we can never win a title without a strong spine. carrick has lost 60% of his efficiency & even in his prime, he often needed scholesy's guidance to thrive. scholes was the dominant unit, carrick leaves it for scholes to do the damage.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 11:16pm On Aug 19, 2014
chrisley024: Not a waste. It means he can easily switch between 3-5-2 and 4-3-3.
it's a waste of money, why can't you see this? why aren't we investing in the midfield? chelsea have matic/cesc in their midfield. city have fernandinho/fernando in theirs - they can alternate with yaya toure.

who do we have in ours? herrera is a good buy but he needs a durable partner. carrick is aged or unfit. anderson/fellaini have been sicknotes, cleverley can't get into the team. there's a gaping hole in that midfield that needs to be filled.


we have no spine at all!

Odunharry: i hope we get Vidal this term
we are just wasting money & it's horrible. we have now spent £44m on the left back position when we could have kept fabio/büttner and buying contreao for around £20m.

the central midfield needs the most attention. twitter just exploded now that woodward had his £60m bid agreed for di maria. £60m? for a winger that isn't really an upgrade of nani. that £60m should be spent on vidal & alex song.

chrisley024: But this is unlike United; announcing a deal that's still subject to medicals and personal terms.
Are they afraid of the #GlazersOut and the fans protests? grin
it's woodward's fault! we should have completed everything today had rojo gotten to manchester today.

a transfer deal involves 2 parties or more. sporting have a say in it too & since they have tidied up their own end of the deal, they are free to announce in lisbon. with lisbon announcing, united couldn't keep quiet any longer, they had to release something to the media.

TV01: The truth is, the failings of "Nigerian ladies" are for the most part the same as those afflicting most others. Although it must be said some are exponetially worse in some regards. Diet and exercise are two such areas.
it's not the failings that peeve me, it's the fact that they consider we "healthy men" as sex maniacs that rubs me the wrong way. grin

it could be true - last 5 transfer windows would include january windows too, so they are basically counting from january 2012.

Odunharry: Saw it this evening...I am still suprised we didn't get strootman last time..
We nid someone like fernandiho or matic..
We got lot of lazy players in the middle aside from ando
strootman is a january deal - there's no way we are getting him this summer. he missed the world cup cos of a gruesome injury & he's hardly been in any action for aeons.

our attention should now be focused on vidal!

man utd official website has announced the move but they are saying deal is subject to personal agreements & medicals.

it then means what was said about woodward is true. he screwed up the medical that was scheduled today at bridgewater hospital.

Family › Re: Some African Parents Destroy Beautiful Love Relationships With Their Prejudices by coogar: 8:47pm On Aug 19, 2014
Woged2005: A young female colleague from french-speaking Cameroon is in love with a very decent Nigerian man, educated with a good job. They are making plans to get married before Easter next year. Now the girl's parent (especially her mom) is way in the middle of the whole thing, discouraging her daughter, warning her, and even making threats to her to stay away from any Nigerian man because they can't be trusted. In fact, she vowed no one in her family will date a Nigerian man. These young lovers are completely devastated and running to anyone who could help appease her parents but all is falling on deaf ears.

We Africans complain of racism and discrimination abroad but honestly from what I see, we would have been worse than some of the people we criticize. Look at how we discriminate against people from other tribes, religion, sexual orientation, even people of other social class. Rich parents warn their daughters not to date boys from poor families. Yoruba discriminates against Igbo, Igbo discriminates against Hausa, Hausa discriminates against Igbos, Muslims discriminates against Christians, Pentecostals discriminate against Catholics, other countries discriminate against Nigerians, (just for emphasis) etc. Haba! Some of us Africans are way too full of prejudice and hate. Sometime I wonder if this is why we always have plagues, disease epidemics, wars, massacres, hunger, famine, pogroms, etc despite being very religious and blessed with resources.

Africans, please can we stop prejudices to let blessings flow into the continent? God is love! Stop destroying dreams with prejudices!
your colleague is not ready to marry yet or her groom-to-be is a retärd. i don't see how any parent can stop me from marrying a girl i want unless the girl herself wants to be stopped.

translation:

Pursuant to the fulfillment of obligation which arises from the provisions of Article 248, no1 al. a) of the Securities Code, A SPORTING CLUB DE PORTUGAL, SOCCER, tells SAD to reach agreement with Manchester United Football Club Limited for the acquisition outright of sports rights and 100% of the economic rights of the player Marcos Rojo for the total amount € 20,000,000.00 (twenty million euros), payable in three installments: € 10,000,000.00 paid immediately and two installments of € 5,000,000.00 each, paid on 1 December 2014 and July 1, 2015.
Value above and in accordance with the contracted shall be paid to Spartak Moscow € 4,000,000.00, in proportion to the amounts received by SPORTING SAD Manchester United.
Please note that the agreement also provides for the right of Sporting SAD to receive 20% of the gain on a future transfer of the player for an amount exceeding € 23,000,000.00.
Simultaneously the SPORTING SAD reached agreement with Manchester United for the temporary transfer, free of charge, for SPORTING SAD athlete Nani, until the end of season 2014/2015.
Regarding DOYEN SPORTS INVESTMENTS LIMITED, and in consequence of the resolution for cause the contract with this entity for the sharing of economic Player, informs that the SAD SPORTING refund immediately, Doyen of the amount invested by this entity, in legal terms.
With this operation, the Board of Directors of Sporting SAD announces that intends to affect, to define in legal terms, EUR 9 million to the construction of the Pavilion of Sporting Clube de Portugal, continuing the Mission Hall in operation until it raised the value of one million euros.
The bidding round for the construction of the Pavilion is nearing completion, providing the necessary permits is believed that their arrival in the competent authorities, particularly in CML, as quickly as possible, so that the start of construction of the new pavilion is one of the Sporting reality as soon as possible.
Lisbon, August 19, 2014
The Board of Directors
in other words - the €20m paid would be in 3 instalments. €10m paid instantly & €5m to be paid in january & another €5m to be paid july next year. in exchange, we would pay nani's wages while there & that amounts to €9m

ed woodward is a lunatic!

That is why I find the thread very strange.

However, if it is not safe to discuss your husband and kids, relatives, etc then people should stop doing so.
tpia, stop making your own argument....
it ruins what should be an interesting debate. bukatyne said it's abnormal when the only topic some married women want to talk about is husband/kids.

she didn't say it's abnormal to talk about one's family. the operative word here is only. it then means no matter the topic you raise with these women, they still find a way of bringing husband/kids into it everytime.

Are you joking bout Woodward forgeting his phone?
that was what i heard through the grapevine. rojo told argentine radio it's a dream to join man utd & he is happy he would be working with van gaal.

lisbon hasn't announced the nani loan deal as reported & rojo hasn't touched down in manchester. people say a lot of shyte these days though so the whole scenario could be false.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 6:53pm On Aug 19, 2014
ElFenomeno1: Does Sporting not want Nani full time or does he still have a future at OT?! LOL ... The latter i doubt.... Maybe its a loan deal with a view to a perm. transfer!

As for Steady Ed, words fail me!
they can't afford nani's wages - nani signed a contract around last year or thereabout. valencia should have been the one moving to that side of europe, not nani!

SailorXY: ok but I think Blackett may leapfrog Smalling in the perking order, he has a real chance of doing that.
i couldn't fault blackett & apart from the rush of blood that made him give the ball back for a quick freekick that led to swansea's winner, he was flawless. he would learn from that drama.

now Nani is gone, if we manage to sign Di Maria, we are making a switch to 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 definitely. I think van Gaal is using wing backs cuz we don't have blistering wingers. I forsee one of Mata, Rooney or RvP dropping to the bench in this case if truely van Gaal don't like players out of position.
if he's switching to 4-2-3-1 then loaning nani out would be dumb even from van gaal. he needs 2 players in each position. we need valencia/young/nani/di maria as wingers. mata/kagawa in the hole and one of rooney/RVP as the centre forward.

but with Mata's performance in the last game hmm, another poor showing may just pave way for Kagawa to lay claim on the shirt.
mata's general play was ok for me. i have seen the match twice since then and he hardly put a foot wrong. he was poor in his setplay deliveries though, we should have scored about 4 goals from freekicks alone if mata had been a bit more smarter.

we had a blunt attack because the fat one had a poor performance - thank goodness he admitted that himself. he was nowhere near the box whenever we attacked from the wings & hernandez got crowded out most times.

the main reason van gaal plays this system is to have 2 strikers engage 2 centre-halves and not give them breathing space. it worked well when robben & RVP stayed on the throat of ramos & pique but rooney tried to do everything by himself & ruin the tactical shape by dropping deep & wasting possession.

Purist: elampiro, you seem to suffer from a very severe case of acute persecution complex. You seem to always somehow perceive the whole world to be against you even in simple arguments. You wallow in so much self-pity, it's almost unreal. You must be one of those people who constantly rant about imaginary "haters" and "enemies". You need to grow the fück up and quit thinking everyone hates you just because they point out something that seems unfavourable to you.

DayoKanu/raumdeuter until recently was a one-man army in this section for years. On every thread he goes, he is opposed vehemently and insulted immeasurably; yet I have never for once seen him play the victim. He mans up, stands his ground and doesn't allow things to get at him. Heck, I think he has even won Poster of the Year on at least one occasion that I remember and he has been nominated several times.

Before you joined this thread, there was a rule in this section that once a thread reaches 100 pages, it will be locked and a fresh one will be created. If my memory serves me right, United has had the most number of locked threads. There is no doubt that you and coogar have contributed your share to the traffic on this particular thread but even before your arrival, Manchester United threads have always thrived and that's exactly what I was pointing out to Nihilist.

Perhaps you have a persistent need to feel special, and I do not intend to take that away from you. But please, quit this thinking that people are out to deliberately discredit you, especially when it concerns something as superficial as your perceived influence on a faceless forum.

@red part, this is exactly what I wrote:
