United fans talk like they can just go and get anyone they like whenever they like. What when Vidal moves expect a shit ton of competition for that signature.
I don't think anyone here feels that way Lightning. Pretty sure most United fans in general know how hard it'll be to sign the players the club wants the most.

LVG's first press conference is today!

Also a report that LVG put a hold on Vidal because he just wants to being in Strootman. So he may just look to get by till then...which sucks.
That report is from the Manchester Evening News which is one of the least reliable outlets for United stories.

Just comes across that way. I mean no disrespect but the players United are linked too would interest PSG, Bayern, Madrid, Barca, Chelsea, City and all of these can offer astronomical amounts of money too. They will be very hard deals to complete.

Strootman not so much but Pogba and Vidal will be in high demand.


Hope he signs a 4 year deal then rides the bench. Greedy punk.

I really don't know why they let him go...

Wasn't it GAF who kept mocking us for having to many midfielders?

Furthermore he wanted to much money. Bayern did a mistake by overpaying players like Götze. And Kroos was the first player in a long time who was regarded as replacable. So Bayern said no to the wage rise and sold him. He's no game changers. And once Thiago is back our midfield will be full anyway. Thiago will always play.

The question is: Who will play next to him? Schweini, Lahm, Martinez, Alaba, Hojbjerg?

So yeah. In the end it came down to the fact that Kroos was replacable. No game changer.

Still surprised he didn't go to Manchester in the end.

Plus, Kroos contract ends next year right? And he refused to sign an extension, so better to earn 25 millions than nothing.

Anyway, Madrid fanbase wants Casillas out. Any bids? XD

Hm, this all makes sense, but I'm still a little sad to see him go.
So... can we sign Reus now? :D

Why do Madrid want James and Kroos? They already have Isco. Just a comical club.


In fact, that James thing is only about press getting bored in summer.

Kroos is to use Isco as strikers replacement, since Jesé won't be ready till October and Morata wants to leave. And, of course, because Xabi is 33 and probably next year will leave for Real Sociedad.

We're after number 10s apparently

The one positive outta all this :lol

But the names we're hearing are all unattainable and quite expensive :/ Like, why would Pastore come back to ITALY, accept a salary cut and play for Allegri The Abyssbringer? I would take the bench in France any day of the week

You could give us Vidal and we will give you Kagawa and Nani. You get a No10 and a winger+money. Win-win

Bye Bitch

:( Congratz Real Madrid! Congratz La Liga and congratz pulga.

Over the World Cup tournament Kroos was easily our most consistent player, while others like Müller / Schweini / Neuer / Götze / Hummels had higher peak performances Kroos was pretty much always right in the thick of it.

Over the past 2 seasons I preached how special Kroos was, that he was already on a similar level to Schweinsteiger despite being 4 years younger and I cant take that back now. You are getting an amazing player and it pains me that he has to leave Bayern, enjoy his stay at Madrid.

I don't know if we're after wingers now, since Allegri likes using a 4-3-1-2.

Or maybe he's going to stick to our 3-5-2 to avoid changing too much.

So yeah, no wingers mmm

so true. Shame he's gone, but good luck to him. I can understand his frustration at being paid less than Alaba.

Congrats, Real.

this is the first time I am sad about a player leaving since...Pizarro, I guess.

I think our formation will be closer to 4-1-2-1-2

Vidal Marchisio and Pogba can play behind the strikers


Pogba :lol honestly, there's no fucking way he's extending his contract now, off to Madrid sooner rather than later.

Since we heve some new guys in the thread and some might not know there is one, here's the link for the FootballGAF Destiny group, all consoles/modes

I don't really know what I'm doing with the clan-within-group stuff, it seems to be set to be available as a default clan for PSN and XBL, but you have to choose 'Set as Playstation/Xbox Clan' to do the same, depending on your platform of choice.

I think I might join up with you lot when i get that white PS4 at Launch.

the age of loyal footballers is long gone, not everyone is like Rooney unfortunately.

and honestly do you blame them? What good did that do to Del Piero? Mauro Camoranesi? Trezegol? No one deserves your loyalty or love anymore, especially Juve :lol just take the fat paycheck and jump from European club to the next.

Tottenham tour update:

Romania defender Vlad has been complaining of stiffness in his lower back and is continuing to be assessed to determine the extent of the problem, while Sandro is recovering from a virus and has been kept behind on medical advice to avoid the risk of spreading the infection.

Levy if you're fucking with me and Sandro is about to be sold...

Lol the virus excuse. I think every club has pulled that one before a player is sold.

Arsenal can't do it, that's the problem. As soon as deals get complicated they go the way Khedira is going.

We can't even get Lars Bender out of Leverkusen. Yet we're going to convince Pogba? Fuck sake.
