The Manchester United Thread X

Rumours going around that Thiago's dad said on a radio show that his son is joining United.

So things today are pointing towards Thiago coming (Andy Mitten, as, no nonsense football, some others)

Apparently the 'catalan press' are also saying about us and that Thiago is wrong to join us and our 'vertical football' (hoof) style of play. So it looks like they are increasingly becoming accustomed to the idea he is coming and are resorting to insulting the club instead.

Also reports are saying that Man utd have agreed to sign Strootman, Garay and Thiago.
All three will be announced together as soon as everything is signed and sealed.

But I still don'y understand why we are buying Garay (how crap can you be to not have one single video of you playing football!!!),

I like Garay but i can't see the reasoning unless the club knows something we dont about a key person such as Vidic.

+ the rumours to him so far have largely and wholly been one newspaper reporting it over and over and wherever that random link of all three came from.

well, Ferdinand and Vidic aren't getting any younger so I suppose the thinking is that rather than take a risk with them getting injured or whatever that it's best to have another experienced player ready to fill in, Smalling and Jones are both still developing, Evans had injury problems last year as well so I can understand why Moyes would want us to have more competition/cover for CB.

Is there a clause in place to prevent Moyes to sign his ex players? Fellani sitting infront of the defence in champions league game would be welcomed <3

This thiago thing has got annoying

Really? I've always thought Fellaini can look very clumsy when defending, he can get dragged in far to easily and commits too many fouls. Personally I don't see Fellaini being of any use to us, he was a pretty average DM in my opinion and played his best football last season playing as pretty much a second-striker.

If we need a DM I think there are better options out there, Capoue (Tolouse) had another good season in France and for once the rumours about De Rossi leaving Roma seem to have a bit of weight to them.
