Moyes says there could be signings before the end of the window, he is not optimistic but "It could happen"

The lad needs Redemption
I'm not even sure Sterling's form last season was down to overplaying him. He just got found out by defenders imo, kept trying to kick+run and being outstrengthed before he got the chance to stretch his legs, and he had many periods of rest when he was dropped, and failed to impress on his return.
Just by adding the confidence and ability to cut in onto the left foot and take it from there, he's improved tenfold. Fullbacks don't know which way he's going, which is vital for a winger who can't just throw it into the box on the assumption that there'll be players in there to take advantage.
Bolanos is on the market, deadly winger. Copenhagen tv had a interview with him today.
Who?
Plan A will force Moyes to realise the importance of central midfielders, if he ever uses such a formation. They've forgotten how to play through the middle. Rest Adnan a while now that Mata is there.I refuse to believe Plan A is our intended goal, you dont sideline the player who has been a shine above the rest, a young talent of enormous potential, because you brought in a new signing, its madness to me.
But this is Moyes
He's young and talented but don't burn him out.

Because FUCK THE ARSENAL alright
Its amazing Sterling has learned in one season something Valencia cant imagine, coming inside, Valencia is the most predictable winger in the premier league, you know every time he gets the ball he is going for the byline because he has no left foot.
*sigh*
Very disappointing result but not unexpected. It all started from that Sunderland defeat and since, we just haven't been that good. We drew too many games and the ones we have won, we have won it scruffy and desperately.
I haven't seen the match, (by the time I gotten to the pub, my friend asked me if we could have a dinner and I was like yeah, why not) but we really need to kick some arses in terms of players who are under-performing. Osman should not play another PL match as he isn't good anymore. Mirralles need to be benched and Baines.... sigh, there is so many things I want to say, but ALAS, i have to give him the benefit of the doubt since he came back from injury.
I am still happy with the season so far, and who knows we might even surprise in few upcoming matches here and there, but I have accepted the fact that this season is transitional year and hopefully we perform better next season. I just fear that Martinez might handle things too nicely which won't cause any motivation.

It's not even about him being one footed, because in his first few years at United everyone knew what he was going to do, but he was still able to outpace and outmuscle defenders and whip in crosses. Everything he does now he second guesses himself. Rarely does Valencia get the ball and just push on and send in an early cross. He's gone completely mental when he should just be simplifying things.
Who you after thats "Major"?

Mirallas was good tbf
You were missing someone to do the unexpected and get the ball past our compact defense. You had a lot of shots blocked between 10 and 25 yards from goal, would have scored 1 or 2 if someone had the composure to find the gaps, or get behind them

Yep.
Perfect example was when Jones played him through, he cut back and eventually shifted it out and had a good shot...but in the past he would have just powered past the defender first time and got a shot away.

Who's that other Ukrainian young winger we were supposedly after? Or am I thinking of Konoplyanka?
Wonder where that'd leave Suso next season.

I just watched the 2nd half.
Young scored.
FFS, he just got himself another start.

He's very religious, could be just thanking god.

He wasn't terrible today.
We don't care about value.
Wrong value, the talent kind of value.
I think we'll definitely be signing someone. Maybe even 2. Flamini is an idiot. Still this may be a blessing in disguise, he'll be fit for Bayern.
He was ok.
I haven't watched the game, so I will take your words for it in regards to Miralles, but whenever I have watched him play, it seems that he is playing for himself and only does good when it comes to solo efforts and whatnot. Definitely a massive step-down from the crazy things he was doing last season.
Also, that gameplan does sound like us. We are looking for someone to creat chances rather than work together as a team. One thing Martinez is at fault here si taht he set up the team to be reliant on individual brilliance from the likes of Barkely, Coleman and sometimes McCarthy and Pianaar, as opposed to the team mentality we had under Moyes.
But Baines signed a new contract as well as Miralles. Coleman and Barkley are to sign a new lucrative contracts this summer. It seems that we are building for the long term.
I just hope Osman just fucks off.

He's surrounded by sh*t. He'll shine some but mainly will be dragged down by the garbage Moyes surrounds him with. He fits better then Kagawa however. Poor Shinji just wants to move the ball and play up tempo football but he's surrounded by players stuck in quicksand. He's looked great when the team plays hi tempo and with urgency which is .00001 percent of the time.
You would think with a name like that he would be harder for attackers to get away from

He's also just joined, I can't imagine he's had any real time to settle into the squad outside of a few sessions (if even that).
With that considered he did bloody well, began to look very confident in midfield later on in the game.

Yeah, a paramedic down on the pitch indicated this right after it happened. The NBC announcers mentioned it.
I know I'm quoting you again but some analysis here

Can't complain with a 2-0 win IMO.

No, but he is the cheaper of the two.
sigh
Why am I not surprised?
Anyway, hope we learn a lesson from this. Its not the end of the world and I am certainly not gonna moan about it. 3rd defeat of the season and 4 points to Liverpool.
We can do this.
Mark Ogden seems to have a decent source at United and gets stories before other journos. But his reporting on United's kit deal is quite shoddy. Doesn't even know how much United got from Nike last year.
Anyway, £65m a year from whoever starting in 2015 and £55m a year from Chevrolet starting this summer. Could buy a few good players with that kind of money.

I'm dying.
He's such a nut case.
Haha, yeah I said I hoped someone would provide a gif when he did it. Pretty funny.
Big question is what's gonna happen when RVP, Rooney and Mata all start. Can't just Jeep Juan out on the wing as its a clear waste of his talents. Requires a tactical rethink from Moyes.
