Messi and Higuain are starting for Argentina. This is awesome already.

 

[Arjen]

24 m for rvp? Damn.

 

[Tc91]

Don't think the three of them can play at the same time.

Elsk you seem to have forgot who our manager is.

Kagawa CM.

 

[Salvadora]

We really need to start putting that £24m to good use. Fuck waiting around to see what happens with Song.

 

[Willkiller]

RVP averaged 35 appearances a season for Arsenal, not bad for someone injury prone.

The big one is coming though, it's kinda like being a Californian and just waiting for that massive earthquake.

You've already spent it. Sorry.

 

[Arnie]

Amazing signing for United, league title back in view for them. Bet Mancini's on the phone to Marwood right now; I just hope it isn't Agger he's talking about.

 

[omgkitty]

Think about the fact that the sale of RVP covers most of the fees paid for Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla. I'd have to imagine we will buy at least one or two more players though. I don't think we can afford to have only two strikers.

I don't often big up Twitter, but #tearsforpiers

Is such a funny hashtag.

£24m is quite a lot for an injury prone 29 year old though.

 

[Vivalaraza]

@AFCamden on Twitter says Alex Song has been told he can leave.

Loooooooooooooool.

 

[dc89]

I am surprised at the transfer fee involved! £24m is a lot of money, but a statement of intent by United.

 

[Joel Was Right]

To top it off, that £24m will never see the light of day

 

[Emhemed]

Man United are stupid. how are they going to fit Rooney, RVP and Kagawa together ? I mean those 3 must start, and they have Welbeck and Chicharito on the bench, they should have definitely strengthened their midfield instead. Although I think Man U will do well in the PL but in Europe I think they'll suffer.

 

[Wessiej]

Love the starting 11 for Holland, already better than Van Marwijk.

If we come out of this window with a surplus I will hit the roof.

It is a year to the day since Arsenal sold Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona. August 15th is the new Friday 13th.

 

[K1LLER7]

I know I don't know why they do that lol

This is soooo cool. Haven't had a massive signing in ages. EXCITE!

This, good weekend incoming

 

[Hoplatee]

Yup. I dislike Van Gaal for many reasons but I am happy with these changes. Hope it works well!

 

[Wilbur]

As an outsider (as in outside the top 8) it's a good deal for both sides but I have got to think Arsenal got the better of this deal. £24m for a 29 year old with 1 year left on his contract?

Hopefully they can get at least one more £10m+ player in with that before the end of the month.
Rooney and RVP will be exciting to see. I wonder if one of Welbeck or Hernandez will go on loan?

This is what I'm a bit annoyed about. Our attacking line at the moment consists of Rooney, van Persie, Welbeck, Hernandez, Nani, Kagawa, Valencia, Berbatov, Young, Macheda and Bebe.

The latter two can fuck off but then that leaves 9 players for at the most 4 places (if we're playing 4-2-3-1. It's pretty safe to say that Berba will be leaving and Hernandez will be resigned to fourth place striker, and Rooney will be automatic starter.

Personally I'd like to see rotations including Rooney but I just don't see it happening. Ideally I'd always start with Rooney either on the left or up front, Kagawa in the whole and Valencia or Nani on the right, with RvP playing up front when Rooney's out wide and Nani on the left when Rooney's up top.

Valencia/Nani - Kagawa/RvP/Rooney - Nani/Rooney
----------------- Rvp/Rooney/Welbeck-----------------

 

[Phantast2k]

damn, bombs are being dropped left & right..



Dat grey hair :O

 

[bjaelke]

FourFourTom
Within half an hour of each other it's been announced that Robin van Persie is joining Man Utd and rumours have surfaced suggesting Alex Song has been told he can leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
Dream summer to an absolute nightmare within 30 minutes.

 

[Kyoufu]

Germany vs Argentina looks to be a strong game.

 

[omgkitty]

If we come out of this window with a surplus I will hit the roof.

Oh well we all know that won't happen! Our only shot at getting another striker is if we are stuck with one of the duds we already have.

 

[panty]

Messi and Higuain are starting for Argentina. This is awesome already.

So is Di Maria. Also Özil and Khedira for Germany.

RM represent.

 

[DangerousMali]

Fuck RVP, he wasn't a world beater anyway, can and will be replaced

 

[Arjen]

Love the starting 11 for Holland, already better than Van Marwijk.

Hell yeah, interesting to see how this will play out.

 

[ShogunX]

Pretty difficult. I just don't see the point, other than to give Wenger and AVB, two guys he's known to have feuds with, the middle finger. More competition for places at Liverpool (albeit shit competition), far less likely to win anything, and not in the CL.

We don't know where Sahin will end up yet so it's a bit premature to be getting salty.

 

[Empty]

i feel a bit bad for wellbeck

rooney and rvp combining is exciting though, and lessens the dependence on the former. the conversion rate should be very good next season and it was already strong.

 

[fuenf]

Lol TZ is reporting that Martinez' agent denied the whole thing: http://www.tz-online.de/sport/fc-ba...mentiert-wechsel-bayern-muenchen-2461134.html

According to him the clubs arent even talking and he is quoted saying that Martinez will play for Bilbao next season.

 

[Wes]

@PiersMorgan

Funny, I really thought @Persie_Official was different. But he turned out to be just another mercenary, heartless, selfish little s**t.

Well done, Ivan Gazidis, a great bit of 'business' - selling #Arsenal 's top player to our bitter rivals. Shame on you & the whole board.

What a sickening betrayal of Wenger too - the man who stood so loyally behind @Persie_Official through years of injury.

Careful, Shrek @WayneRooney - you've got a treacherous new Donkey arriving

 

[Lightning]

@AFCamden on Twitter says Alex Song has been told he can leave.

Loooooooooooooool.

The fuck? This is all falling apart.....

 

[Wilbur]

You know he'll play CM and you'll like it .

Kagawa playing as CM sounds more possible.

I think if he played at the top of a three it would work with Cleverley and Carrick but that's not a lot of protection for our defence. It's hard to accommodate them all I suppose... but rotation's the key.

hahaha dc never fails to crack me up. Months of spaffing his knickers over Vanday and...

I'm surprised at the transfer fee involved in the #RVP deal to United. We'll just go invest that in a younger player. #mcfc

Younger players like Daniele De Rossi

 

[Oxx]

I thought I heard the sound of bumholes being fudded, so I came running to this thread.

Omg.

 

[Sqrt_minus_one]

Twitter peeps saying Alex Song has been told he can leave, when one saga ends another continues!

Has Walcott actually signed a new contract yet?

 

[Willkiller]

i feel a bit bad for wellbeck

rooney and rvp combining is exciting though. the conversion rate should be very good next season and it was already strong.

He's not ready to be a first-choice United striker yet anyway, to be honest I'm not convinced he ever will be! He should go out on loan, it would probably be a good move for him.

 

[kharma45]

I feel worse for Hernandez, at least Welbeck is versatile and can do a job on the wing.

Is it a firesale? The fuck is going on

I am leaving this thread. There is nothing left for me here anymore

 

[dc89]

Fuck RVP, he wasn't a world beater anyway, can and will be replaced

Yes Mali!!

Congrats UnitedGAF. Enjoy Persday. I now look forward to Sinday and Rosday.

#basedmarwood will deliver.

 

[LegoArmo]

Let's outbid Barca for Song too!

 

[omgkitty]

Is it a firesale? The fuck is going on

 

[Salvadora]

I don't understand why Song is being allowed to leave with 3 years left on his contract. Is it wrong to expect a little bit of a fight?

 

[Wes]

Wenger stockpiling that transfer moneys to bid £45m for Javi Martinez.

 

[kharma45]

Fellow United fans, this also means we're not reliant on Rooney now for goals.

We actually now have a second striker we can rely on.

Morgan is going to bust a nut if that turns out to be true :lol

But no one does penalties like Rooney.

 

[Wilbur]

Omg.

I'm not fudding yet, I'm just rubbing the rim. Need to have clarification that Kagawa isn't wanking around in CM.

 

[Timurid]

you'll probably have to rely on rooney when rvp gets injured again.

 

[LegoArmo]

It's kind of funny, MUTV only have rights to United games so they're showing all of Van Persie's goals against us.

 

[Oxx]

Fellow United fans, this also means we're not reliant on Rooney now for goals.

Robin Reliant.

 

[PaulLFC]

Yes Mali!!

Congrats UnitedGAF. Enjoy Persday. I now look forward to Sinday and Rosday.

#basedmarwood will deliver.

As long as it's not Aggerday you can sign whoever you want!

Sahin signing will supposedly be announced tonight or tomorrow. I'm guessing tomorrow since there's international friendlies tonight.
