Its not like we didn't try to get this Player
Veron was a legitimate super star before he joined and I read somewhere that we already signed Ronaldinho but the Bastard demanded for a Chopper, in his contract to fly him to london to catch fun"
Most of those footballer played for either Madrid or Barcelona we can't compete with that, we can offer same money but I don't know what else make all of them flock to spain.
Maybe they don't like the weather in England.

elampiro:
So how much was to cover that chopper? If we had brought one ballon'dor winner, the rest big stars would have added Man United to the list of their possible destination. Zidane and Ronaldo Lima were ready to play anywhere.

Abeg let's just leave all these things. Let's compete for the best going forward. But again, a world economy recession looms. Hope it doesn't catch our stocks in the NYSE?

I never for once doubted Neymar. The very first time I saw him play their local league and friendly matches for Brazil, I knew he would be great. His play was so direct, with dribbling and pace, then he was scoring with ease. He could go through the middle and the wing unlike the other guys who were only dancing in the wings and appeared to score by luck.

That was the same way you never doubted Paulinho, How is he doing nowadays?

Man U Is Back !!

I think the issue should be more on spending big money on the right players we need.

Enough people were disappointed in our failure to land Vidal (at that exorbitant price speculated that time) but at the end of the day, it seems that decision actually turned out to be a good one.

Don't get me wrong - I know the risk factor (no matter how small) would always be there even when signing the best/most in-form player in the world and there would always be disparities as to wether that player is actually worth that amount but Abeg, it isn't out of place for us to "look before we leap"...especially when a lot of money is involved.

Ps; thank God say na loan we loan falcao and that we never "larimo" the 45m being speculated!

Dadehmola:


Na true oo.

Oya elampiro, come and defend yasef!!

don't mind elampawa & his vision 20/20.

SailorXY:
that's the way it is. when you look @ the massive expenses of Chelshit & City from their rise period, it is debatable if they have gotten value for money. you can count 20 players bought & literally forgotten in world of football by these two teams.

we can choose to look before we leap, but other teams won't just watch us do that. some times we just have to pay up & hope for the best or @ least some returns.

Anderson, Hernandez, Nani to name a few cannot be definitely termed flops in a United shirt - they may not have stood the test of time but they have played a big part in the history of this club @ some stage. when it is perceived that decline is setting in, we can refresh the squad & move deadwood with a pat on the back! this is business.

MrTA:
Oh dear
premier league. What a shambles.

MrTA:
They would have to, as a repeat of this season in europe and we could lose a champs league spot if Italy pick in Europe.

elampiro's love for van gaal these days is breath-taking. i thought you preferred moyes only last week.

elampiro:
Better than Thiago.

I did not even rate Paulinho as high as Neymar and Aguero. Paulinho was only one of my options after we missed Fabregas. However, you gat to have some cases of misses. Barca bought Ibrhimovic and sold him. Chelsea sold Schevcheko. You cant get it 100%, there has to be some element of risk.

Louis van Gaal has revealed that his favoured formation with Manchester United is the 4-3-3.
And talking exclusively to the Telegraph, Van Gaal explained that having just one striker up front allows the team to switch between attack and defence with more efficiency.
He explained: “I am the most flexible manager you can imagine. When the players are coming with good arguments, I change my opinion.
"They need to have very good arguments. It is not so easy to convince me - that’s true. But when you convince me I change my opinion.
“Most of the players here think the manager is deciding that change. I ask also the players which system they want to play. And then I ask individual players: ‘What’s your favourite position?’ First they don’t want to answer but now they are more open, and they answer.
"4-4-2? No. The fans are shouting it. I have played it but that was to do with accidental circumstances.
“The system we play now is the system that I prefer, that I have played everywhere. Against Spurs is my preferred system. When it is needed, then I play with five at the back.
"Spurs was 4-3-3 when we had the ball. For example, Mata more inside and Young outside. When we defend it was more 4-1-4-1. Next game is different.”

The level of competition is higher... For EPL clubs to compete.. They need that winter break. Desperately. In some ways the UCL results show the overall strength of the PL. Every week is a battle so teams are exhausted for Europe.

You told us you saw him at the confederations cup and he is ready to dominate the league with his pace and power.

How he is the most important player to Brazil and how he's a definite starter

codedguy1:
A couple of weeks ago I said something alluding to the points LVG is saying now, that he needed to assess his players and take a decision on where they preffered to play and this definitely will happen after having a little comfortable talk with the players in a clear sincere environment. I believe that's what had happened and the arsenal loss made it imperative and necessary.

Now he is saying he is a listening coach that needs to be convinced. Let him not listen na and continue to play his 352 formation and end up in a worse position than oga Moyes when the players are not comfy with his style.

The way the lads dispatched Tottenham was just exquisite and I knew something had happened amongst the players and coaching crew. I just wish/hope the resurgence continues.

Imagine LVG saying he now favours 433 and is flexible. I laff.
