The Manchester United Thread XIV

Personally I disagree but this isn't the thread for it.

Ah sorry man was at mosque. Later?

Personally I think instead of Vidal we should go for Mark Noble/Nolan of West Ham. Great player, sits in front of the defence in a very disciplined manner, distributes the ball out to the flanks to Downing and Jarvis while allowing the monstrous Diame roam forward. His passing is sublime, one of the best passers in the league, and it's something Vidal doesn't have. Noble is a midfield general, a general that we desperately need. Now.

Honestly, stats mean nothing. There's a reason why Noble is called the cockney Pirlo. He's also got a bit of Keane in him. He's a warrior. He'll rip your ****ing heart out and show it to you before you die. Vidal is just after money.

He is the ONE player LVG MUST buy...

In terms of other areas, I'm also a big fan of Hageland, Zamora, Crouch, Hoolahan, Jedinak, Kaboul, Snodgrass, Siggurdson, Gallagher, etc. Any of these names would be a bonus considering we are already having an injury crisis...

Ideally, this is how we should start for the first game:



Keep the back five solid, play a patient game. Let Snodgrass float into pockets of space and dictate the attacking play, with Zamora and Siggurdson looking to run in behind the defence. It's a good team, they know how to pass, move, and find the net.

Noble/Nolan and Jedinak would be key, Jedinak would sit back and allow Nolan to float those perfectly weighted over-the-top through balls to Zamora.

Zamora is more than capable of bringing the ball down on his chest, taking a touch and then unleashing a venemous volley into the top corner. Mata can't do that, Zamora can.

We would have Rooney on the bench, could bring him on if we need another winger, and we could utilise Nani as a left back, so the depth would be there

You're not serious.
Are you that bored you created another TSR account so you could have a conversation with yourself?
Looooool
Im Done

Even if the journalists asked LVG about transfers, he wouldn't say much, anyway. We'd know nothing more than we know now. Not expecting anything until deadline day tbh.

I think he must be getting frustrated by what's going on. He would have turned up at United believing that a club of this stature would have the best negotiators in the business, not the shambles we've got. I still think we'll sign a CB and CM but it won't be until the last days of the window. Think Arsenal last summer, months of discontent then they suddenly pull something out of the hat.

Arsenal last summer pulled out nothing. They spent 42M on a big signing that they didn't need and even partially ruins an otherwise working system. Similar to you guys buying Mata, playing a 3-4-1-2 while you don't even have enough CBs fit or good enough to actually play the role.

He's going to get a big signing to appease people but won't be surprised if it's not somebody you need.

I was paying more attention to the fact that Arsenal at least bought a marquee signing, after being ridiculed all summer for doing poor transfer business they shut their critics up. Woody needs to do something similar with a proper midfielder. We'll have to replace Fletcher, Carrick and one of Fellaini/Cleverley next summer and we need a new CM as it is, so that's 3-4 new CM's which we will need to bring in within the next 3-4 transfer windows. If the position is left to decay for yet another window then things are going to get much worse before they get better.

Now Martinez is injured for Bayern, what are the odds that they come in for Vidal and wrap the deal up in 3 days?

It sucks that Gill left at such an important time. We needed him here to get these important transfers through. Shouldn't have let him leave at the same time as Sir Alex. We will surely sign 2 players. I still believe that we will.

I find it hard to believe transfers won't happen. After last year's 7th place i find it hard to believe that the directors would allow Van Gaal to go experimental with youth players.

We need a decent CM for sure and a CB also since ours seem to be constantly injured or suspended.

Yes but the critics didn't shut up because he was clearly the wrong signing, they needed a DM, a winger and a striker. They pulled out a signing that was basically pot luck because Real wanted bale and one of Di Maria and Ozil had to go. It's not good business at all and didn't shut anybody up. Honestly see you guys buying Schneiderlin or something like that because you're struggling to get a midfielder in.

The clock is ticking and Juve won't sell if they don't have time to find a replacement.

If we get Rojo as expected, Vidal and a decent CB then IMO it will have been a hugely successful window. Big big if yes but Ed could easily still turn this around by getting someone like Vidal. Hopefully there will be another CB we don't know about right now.
