Big Willy's a done deal and so is Shaw by the sounds of it. Fabregas and Cavani will be absolute non-starters so I'm not really sure where we go from there. Koke? Garay?

Garay and Rakitic.


Listen to me Woodward.

 

[Hixx]

Shaw's 18. Even if United don't progress back to being contenders by the time his contract ends he'll still BE YOUNGER THAN I AM NOW JESUS CHRIST THAT IS DEPRESSING

 

[LegoArmo]

If United fuck this up two summers in a row... After quite clearly using The Guardian as his mouth-piece, Woodward must be a Scouse secret agent.

 

[3Sixty]

As I've said before though, I won't be overly bothered if Shaw leaves for decent money.

If Lallana or Schneiderlin left I'd die.

 

[TrueBlue]

Transfer muppetry? Well, okay.

Recall Courtois/extend contract
Recall Lukaku

Shaw (looking unlikely now though)
Barkley (possible Lamps replacement)
Costa (goes without saying, assuming yesterday was just an off day)

I'l think of more later.

 

[wedward]

I think Shaw waits one more year before leaving.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Anyway, since it looks like Van Gaal is the man, I've been doing some reading.

Another Long Interview

It all sounds good on paper anyway....

Van Gaal and Keane. Going to be so volatile it's unreal. I'd prefer Giggs as the assistant.

 

[jesalr]

Didn't Chelsea sign Oscar and Hazard before Benitez came in.

No. Di Matteo was in charge at that point. Benitez didn't come in until mid season.

 

[wedward]

Wenger is from Strasbourg. Schneiderlin played for Strasbourg. Wenger is French. Schneiderlin is French. Scheiderlin is a midfielder. Arsene wants a midfielder. Arsene has money. Southampton want money. It's a done deal.

 

[Yen]

Think Van Gaal would rather see the squad with Shaw and Carvalho, than the squad without.

I think he'd rather get to spend the £65m himself.

Aly Cissokho - Season Review

I was legit crying.

"i'll jab u in the gabber m8"


Dead

 

[pulga]

United will sign Arbeloa and Khedira and they'll love them

 

[RedHotChimiChanga]

Chelsea to recall Courtois lol.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Van Gaal and Keane. Going to be so volatile it's unreal. I'd prefer Giggs as the assistant.

I'd be seriously seriously seriously concerned if Keane is his assistant.

Really hoping it's a random story that doesn't have much life in it. Giggs as part of his coaching staff would be best. But if Van Gaal comes in I expect him to have Danny Blind as his assistant.

 

[L1NETT]

Can't guess half the transfer budget (or whatever it is) and teenagers you hope the new manager wants

Give him 3/4 transfer windows to remold an aging squad, not presume what he wants.

Whatevs, this could all be done.

I think he'd rather get to spend the £65m himself.

Apparently he's a manager who'll work with what he has. So if two players are signed before he joins then he'll just get on with it. He's also gone on record saying that he prefers to work with younger players and help improve them. But he also has a tendency to fall out with players and freeze them out of the team.

And United can't really afford to wait until the middle of July for him to take over. We made the same mistake with Moyes and fucked up the transfer window for ourselves.

 

[wedward]

I think Arsenal will be in for Sami.

 

[K1LLER7]

I think he'd rather get to spend the £65m himself.

That will depend on when/if he comes in. Which could be pretty late. Would prefer to have deals done early. Preferably before the WC starts.

 

[Meier]

Saw this on Facebook. I fucking hate click-through lists (especially this one which has like 4 or 5 ads in it) but my god I'm dying at these. Here are the best ones.

Moral of the story: NEVER get someone to try and do a tattoo of your kids. :lol

Incredible. Need a Fellaini one.

 

[Salvadora]

Please no.

I'll really miss Aly Cissokho.

I hope he freezes Fellaini's afro.

How is that guy wearing a Man Utd shirt. He's SO BAD.

 

[Vivalaraza]

That will depend on when/if he comes in. Which could be pretty late. Would prefer to have deals done early. Preferably before the WC starts.

If they do appoint him, they will ask him what/who he wants before the WC. No way he'll just turn up once the WC is over and see what's what.

Glazers/Woowar meeting him this week apparently.

 

[LegoArmo]

I like the idea of Keane turning up and booting Rooney in the face and throwing Young out of the club like a scene from the Fresh Prince.

Watch The Tomorrow People, it is 10x better, the writing is brilliant but not got the same budget as Arrow or recognition for that matter.


Loads of twists and turns that actually work, Arrow constantly disappoints apart from Crixus/Slade tearing shit up.

He will sell the players he can't control. He will sign shit players to replace them. But he will promote young players and give them a lot of playing time. that's the positive side

if you have brazilians in your team, they are already dead.

 

[Clegg]

Are there any really good Dutch players that aren't

1) Currently crocked
2) Getting on a bit
3) Past their best
4) Already playing for United.

Coz they'll be on LvG's most likely.

Dave Gorman's story about tattoos is pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTxB2SVH-7s

 

[Elchele]

Clegg, LvG signed Pranjic and Braafheid when he joined Bayern.

He's not going to sign "really good dutch players".

 

[wedward]

Please no.

Schneiderlin is my first choice.

Haven't seen enough of Bender this season.

Strootman?

 

[Arnie]

Strootman?

Falls under the 'currently crocked' category.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Of course he does lol.

 

[Clegg]

Strootman?

Out with a ligament injury.

I really wanted us to sign him last season.

 

[Jarnet87]

At least we've got the World Cup to occupy us a bit. Last summer was one to forget.

 

[Clegg]

I've just realised that RVP currently falls under 3 of the 4 categories. Potentially even all of them.

Feels bad man.

 

[The Atticus]

We aren't getting Shaw, guys. But Rakitic? If the In Form version of him on UT is any indication of his sweet feet, I LIKE IT!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Shaw is ours.

Believe it.

 

[Salvadora]

Haven't seen enough of Bender this season.

His buy-out clause activates this summer from what I remember.

 

[The Atticus]

That phantom in the stadium video over in OT is keeping me the heeby-jeebies. The ones only Courage the Cowardly Dog could have.

 

[Meier]

I'd be more than happy if we double dipped into Sevilla again this summer and got Rakitic and Alberto. Madrid probably will get Alberto sadly..don't think we are even linked with Rakitic but man, he's fantastic.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Bender renewed his contract and the buy-out isn't there/increased.

 

[Salvadora]

Bender renewed his contract and the buy-out isn't there/increased.

Ah, that's a shame.

We need an Arteta replacement desperately. From what I've heard, Bender hasn't been playing well anyway.

 

[The Atticus]

Haha, bu..but.. Evra's new 36 MONTH contract???

I have no idea who this Alberto fellow is. Is he a nutter like Buttner?

 

[Meier]

Young LB of theirs who got a full Spanish cap last year. Full name is Alberto Moreno. Very good player. Buttner can dream.

 

[Mr Cola]

Fourth place next year is going to be an absolute battle, can't afford a bad record with the top teams like this year.

 

[The Atticus]

Well, he tickles my pickle. Mata and De Gea and Thiago get to him.

 

[Lightning]

Ah, that's a shame.

Schneiderlin is the best Arteta replacement we can hope for and at the perfect age.


And is it true Mesut Ozil never suffered a hamstring injury until he comes across the great Arsenal medical team? Just wow Arsene. Please sort this shit out.
