elampiro:
This your interview story from May 1st no solve matter wey dey ground.
That part Di Maria said he is not in United for just one season, I posted it on this thread many many pages back.

elampiro: who said Gaal told Di Maria to hand in a transfer request. Can they bring any quote from 'people that matter'?

afrodoc2:
I think the formation we employ this season would be even more important than any further additions to the present squad.
LVG has to utilize a system that is simple and effective early on rather than spend preseason and the first 4 months of the season experimenting on nonviable options.

SailorXY:
e be like say you no know wetin you dey find sef... no be you ask this question?
so di Maria's words don't matter in his business just like Rooney too didn't matter ? abi what else were you searching for online?

elampiro:
Forget that thing. Things happen over night. If Di Maria come out to say it now, after all these stories of PSG interest, then I will know he is not going.

sailorxy: LvG: its dependable on the player
Player: I'm not here for one season, I'm here to be a part of
the history of this club
elampiro: they don't matter!!! according to reports, .......

afrodoc2:
so hensben would watch it at 3am?

elampiro:
How many times have we seen players said they are not moving. When summer comes and they see a reason to move, they will start saying it was always their dream to play for the new club.

PSG said they want Di Maria.

Gaal said it is a process.


My guy, anything can happen. Di Maria first love was even PSG.

chrisley024:
50-60mil and he's theirs. They should stop dragging feet.

elampiro:
They are afraid. What if he doesn't hit that form?

Even Di Maria is not too sure what to decide. What if he gets benched in United again. I think he has fallen in love with the club and its vision.

Pedro:
While we are now all aware that Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Pedro from Barcelona, the player's wish to go the other way hasn't been as broadly publicised.

Marca were keen to rectify this on Friday when reporting that the player had allegedly told his teammates he wanted to leave the club and also notified the club's hierarchy of this.

The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with the Spanish winger in the past, but Marca are adamant Manchester United is the only club he'll go to from here.

The two teams play each other on Saturday, and this could be the perfect time to finalise the deal.

Ramos:
Marca have gone all out today, and we're not talking about using a picture of Sergio Ramos in a turtleneck sweater on their front page.
Their headline, “United ask Ramos to declare that he wants to go”, is far from subtle and certain to cause a bit of controversy back in Spain.

Ramos still wants to leave, according to the paper, and the Premier League club are putting on 'total pressure' to try and sign him as soon as possible.

The meeting between Pérez and his new captain is meant to take place this weekend, and we fully expect sensational updates once this has happened.

Furthermore, one of the journalists over at Radio MARCA decided to fuel the speculation even further by announcing Pérez actually wants Ramos out of Real Madrid.
Pablo García Cuervo also states that Real Madrid are trying to make it look like Ramos himself wants out rather than the club trying to force him out. This all sounds very sneaky, but, then again, we wouldn't put it past Madrid to do such things.

Depay:
This isn't really a transfer rumour, but it kind of is at the same time.
Following Van Gaal's comments he could be working on a surprise signing, the European media have gone into a frenzy to try and guess who it could be. It appears that Metro News in Holland have got their own spin on this and believe Memphis Depay is the surprise signing.
Speaking to former teammates and Ronald De Boer, the interviewees all agree this could be the case thanks to Depay's (or should we say Memphis'?) qualities as a forward.

Ibrahimovic:
Unbeknownst to most, the controversial striker gave an interesting interview with Sports Illustrated in America last night, where he spoke about his relationship with Louis VanGaal. While he admitted their relationship was “not good” and it would be a “big problem” if they were ever to work together, he was also coy about not working with the Manchester United manager in the future.
Instead of saying “No, I can't see it every happening”, he instead stated they were both professionals and both have a job to do. Not really a denial, is it?

Gaitan:
Just when you thought it had disappeared forever (being replaced by
Pedro), one of the oldest transfer rumours to have ever graced the
internet rears its ugly head again. O Jogo report (once again) that
Manchester United have already agreed a €30m/£21m fee for Gaitan and are waiting for Di Maria to leave before finalising the transfer.

Benfica wanted United players as part of the deal previously, but it is believed they just want this over and done with. One important question in all this remains to be asked, though: Where does this leave Pedro?

Otamendi:
Valencia newspaper SuperDeporte are running out of things to say about Nicolas Otamendi. This week they've already said that the Manchester clubs are at war for the defender, but they're not committed enough to that war to go near his €50m clause. The €50m weapon of mass destruction hasn't been deployed and there are doubts over whether it will, but SuperDeporte state on Friday that Otamendi is still determined to get his move.

Di Maria:
Today was supposed to be the day he became a PSG player, or maybe tomorrow, or maybe before the end of the weekend. The French press have claimed so much on Di Maria and PSG that it's hard to keep up - but Friday saw no updates of note. Louis van Gaal didn't exactly exude confidence over Di Maria in his press conference but then the United manager seemed glum generally on Friday and tired of transfer questions.

SailorXY:
I don't think he's in the same position like he was last season, he had little choice.
remember the 3-5-2 did very well in preseason, so probably that wad the reason he persisted a little longer with it than was necessary.

afrodoc2:
Most analysts are predicting 4-3-3 formation for the season but we have played 4-4-2 in our 2 preseason matches.

If we are going to play 4-3-3 why not start from the early part of preseason?
Or does he intend to persist with 4-4-2 in the EPL?

chrisley024:
Why would a sensible person sell RvP only to sign Ibra.

chrisley024:
does that one know where he resides

4th - all time assist in EPL
2nd- all time EPL goal scorer
3rd- all time goal scorer england & Manutd

MrLouisVanGaal:
i have gotten to that point where i open up to 20 tabs refreshing transfer news from various sources, even the ones like Goal.com and dailymail that thrive on lies for clicks. This season should just kick off abeg. i am tired!

SailorXY:
he's actually played a 4-2-3-1. from my observations, if he's going to revert to a 4-3-3 later, it will be a double pivot variation.

he's stated that the first team that will play 60 mins against Barca will likely be the team he starts the season with. based on this we can hopefully get a clearer picture of what's up his sleeve.
