But since then, United ve won everything all Arsenal fans could only dream of.
Thats why u'd see them celebrating the Community Shield as much as u'd see Malawi celebrating winning the World Cup.
So yh He has every reason to hate United. I actually feel sorry for him..

DDG first season in Man Utd was littered avalanche of poor performances that got him an ample time on the bench.
Lol. It took me a year and many months after to accept we finally have replaced Van Der Sar. The trauma of DDG poor performance when he first arrived haunted me even unto the second half of 2012/13 season. I knew he had very sharp reflexes, but I actually felt the absence of VDS was the major reason we lost the league on goals difference.

When VDS left a Chelsea fan told me our protector had gone and we would be exposed. He laughed at me many times. The other time we trusted a young/untested keeper it didn't work out well at all. I remember when Ben Foster let in cheap attempts from outside of the box. We lost cheap painful points to Burnley and Sunderland, at the end it was part of the reasons we lost the league by just one point in 2009/10.

This season we should have allowed Valdez to start our season if DDG is unhappy. We are already worrying about one or two positions. We shouldn't add a third.

I can't believe the stuff I'm reading here today ,LVG shouldn't have done what he did as regards to the DDG matter. Really?, hv u guys forgotten how long LVG publicly begged David to stay at united? From January when he rejected the contract extension till July when he was now hell bent on joining Madrid. The Gaffer had been by d player longer than anyone could. Madrid sent the first bid which was instantly rejected b4 d talks of Ramos came into the matter. The season is beginning n there is emphasis on starting it on a winning note so I understand if the man wants to play players in the right frame of mind.

We have been in this moment b4 ,Cr7 anyone? He wanted to leave in 2009 but was convinced to play for another season n he agreed to cos he was grateful for what the club did for him ,Suarez did dat at Liverpool n we all thought DDG will at least agree to see out his contract at united n move for free next year since Madrid refused to play ball with Ramos but sadly dat hasn't been the case ,he still wants to joined Madrid n his girlfriend isn't helping matters either. LVG said that he's on the sidelines in this matter thus leaving the ball in DDG's court ,he should remain on the bench until he makes up his mind. Stay or Go.

I believe Hart is a very good goalkeeper. He lost concentration in 2012/13 and has progressively recovered well thereafter.

He's good no doubt. But Abeg jare....there are a few other GKs in the league as good, if not better than Hart
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:43pm On Aug 07, 2015
But wait! Is Valdez still a member of our club? He has not even a squad number.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 4:56pm On Aug 07, 2015
AdeLaNa1:
Soton had the best defence in the league last season. And a huge part of dat was due to Forster
I don't watch enough Munich games to say anything about neur apart from the general consensus that na him be no 1.
But hart is better
If your argument is superior defence then Hart was without that benefit last season.
And still only lost the clean sheet battle by one game despite keeping for 6 more games.

LOL. Ben Foster was a massive error for us. I was scared shitless for months watching him out-match his feat in goal-keeping tomfoolery with each new match. God forbid we end up with another Foster.

Plato is so arrogant, his over-bloated ego might be his undoing. He doesn't know how to treat players especially in this era where players have more powers than coaches.

LVG...


“I think Manchester United have to always be a challenger or champion," he told the club's official TV channel. “Of course we have problems still with the goalkeeper, so we need maybe two more players.”

It might be our best option.

dude! DDG's situation is not about lvg's ego! Its about ddg's ambition and his babes preference! He is a madrid boy and united offered him the best contract ever given 2 a keeper! He has already started _fucking up intentionally like during the psg game so no need risking anyting 2moro! Let real either pay up, drop a defender or wait till next year if dey can! Ddg knows we have the aces dats why perez is coming 2 manchester next week 2 sort it out! dey messed up by selling casillas early and now have no stand out keeper and van gaal can bench his life if he wants! Anyhow man u comes out tops! Imo
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
There is a rumour that he has asked the club to sell DDG.

Gaal 's comments after PSG' s game also suggest he doesn't trust DDG's concentration anymore.

Against Barca, DDG did not make an attempt on Suarez freekick that hit the upright. Some pundits marked him down. Against PSG, he passed straight to Ibrahimovic. On a normal day, that was a goal.
.......


After that match, the cracks in Van Gaal’s patience were visible. “We have a situation that is not favourable for David De Gea but neither for us and neither for the club [Real Madrid] that maybe he wants to go [to],” said the United manager. Later, he added: “Everybody can make mistakes but when a goalkeeper makes a mistake it is mostly a goal and that’s the difference.”

I just think he's handling it wrongly. Benching DDG is not the right thing to do. DDG should start our matches and keeping saving us till Madrid makes a better payment or comes next season. He's wasting on the bench. LvG doesn't know how to handle situations carefully, he always approach the strict way in all situations.

Exactly!! He's too strict. Everything is about his way or no other way. He's too stubborn. It took the complaints of fans for him to stop the crappy 3-man defense.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:55pm On Aug 07, 2015
Louis van Gaal has revealed that he wants to sign up to two more players this summer.

Van Gaal claimed earlier this summer that he was looking to add two more players to his squad before the end of the transfer window.

When asked if this was still the case, van Gaal told MUTV: "Yes, because I have said that we need players with speed and creativity. Di Maria is a player like that and now he is gone, so we need that type of player.

"Of course we have problems still with the goalkeeper, so we need maybe two more players."[Source: MUTV] ‪

.........

Let's forget it. Gaal is not signing a defender. Except if the guys on ground perform woefully before Sept 1st.

Only two more signings in his plans. A creative attacker and a goalkeeper.

In all fairness ddg is also acting unprofessionally! Claiming unknown injuries and forming not knowing wen 2 cum 4 balls? The boy just tire me so I can feel LVg's pain! I remember how fergie struggled 2 bring him 2 old t, gave him all the necessary support and even us the fans upon the fact dat he was costing us points in games! But now dat he is a top dog he has remembered dat he is a "local madrid big boy" and I don't even know what 2 say about dat local tranny look alike dat he calls his biatch! Saying manchester is uglier than d back of a fridge? Cheiiii! As you said nobody is bigger than the club if he goes and we get good money, a solid defender, and with our midfield and back up keepers like valdes and romero, then I feel we will be alrite! But if de gea goes and the defence remains as it is? Ol boy na silent chelsea 4 life get me dis season oh! Dat defence will fail us completely! No time 4 lying 2 myself! Lolz!

Yes, i agree he'd be sold. His mind is clearly not at Man Utd. He wants go back home, so let's sell him, add a top defender like Otamendi and a pacey winger like Pedro and we're good to go. I'm never the type to beg someone repeatedly. We've shown him enough loyalty, if he doesn't want to reciprocate it, let him go back to a club where the fans turn on their players far too easily. No-one is bigger than Man Utd.

Some players just stick to the number they were given when they come into limelight

Schweinsteiger for club would wear 31, Lahm 21, Muller 13, Ballack 13, Vidal 23 Badstuber 28 Boateng 17

Either due to superstition or just to make it their trade mark. Players have reasons for choosing numbers on their jerseys
