that was always ALWAYS LvG's issue. I remember his last season with Bayern vividly

a fucking circus

Everything he does is in service of his ego. Probably hasn't signed a CB so he can bring in a youth player, beat Swansea and hear 'GENIUS'.

Big Sam - "This is my opinion and not every managers opinion of course, and certainly by the looks of it not Louis Van Gaal's opinion - he's more into the system that he wants rather than the players he has playing to the system that suits them. I think systems are about suiting the players that you have available to you."

omg

come to us Sam

Are you sure that's not a quote about Pep? I like Pep, but he seems pretty intent on forcing his own preferred strategy on the team.

 

[Meier]

Chelsea will probably win it this year. Especially if they end up getting Benatia.

 

[Salvadora]

:lol

Mourinho has already thrown a jibe at Arsenal and the season hasn't even begun.

“Some they have 10 years to win something, I have only two.”

 

[Freewheelin']

HAHAHAHA

For those of you doubting me. you're in too deep. I'm the Parlay Prince yet I lose 9/10 parlays. I also want to be Nathan Drake and Indian Jones in real life.

Relax "Messi" Relax "Pulga." I know you want to believe because I am good at what I do, but get in touch with reality.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Liverpool will win it.

 

[sohois]

Strange how Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd all did a lot of transfer activity in bursts at the beginning of the window, in stark contrast to what often occurs, yet once again the start of the season comes and all 3 have at least one major area to sign another player in.

LVG used the 3-5-2 at the World Cup because of the Dutch players he could pick wouldn't fit in the usual 4-3-3. I think he's done the same at United because the same system allows Rooney, Mata and RVP to play in their preferred positions. Big Sam dun goofed.

It still amazes me we have signed the least number of players given that we are the most in need of quality. The last two summer windows have been very perplexing.

 

[Freewheelin']

That article earlier said LVG also used 3 at the back with Ajax

 

[Meier]

Liverpool will win it.

I think you guys will have a great year and Sterling and Sturridge will be monsters again (Henderson should score a bit more too), but no Suarez is just too big of a loss. It's going to be a very interesting season, lots of teams with great shots at the top 4. Think it'll come down to Chelsea and City for the title though. Hope City is in it at least.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Dissonance is shit at Dota

 

[Yen]

I fully expect Utd to spend about £70m in the last few days of August.

Additionally, I think the extra Champions League fixtures in a group of death (and possibly going further in the cups) will take a toll on some of the starting 11.

Don't think Tiote would cost that much.

Of course, when you include a year of Khedira's wages

 

[wedward]

Thinking back to last year our only signing going into the Villa game was Flamini.

And then our world got flipped upside down.

MESUT arrived and a new era began.

Now sign a fucking CB and DM.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Interesting quote here

Translation: we're going to offer and pay such ridiculously high and inflated prices for every player the club would be foolish not to accept it right away

 

[Arnie]

I agree that without Suarez we can't do it but at the same time it - oddly - just makes me even more certain that we will.

It's like everyone has written us off yet we play the best football in the league. All of that great football had nothing to do with Suarez. Literally nobody plays better football. Winning football. Fast, attractive, exciting football. We can kill teams in 10 minutes.

Remember these words when we've forced Koeman into Seppuku after goal number five.

 

[dc89]

It's insane to think United can't sign players these days. Well I say can't, I mean, they can but it seems like its a real battle.

Where has ruthless gone, where they got who they wanted when they wanted.

 

[Perfect Blue]

I'm okay

I'm fast coming to the conclusion that we won't sign a DM.

Manolas and that's it.

Dawson for anyone looking for a CB.

I'm okay

Don't mind him.

 

[wedward]

Same.

After our first loss everyone will be screaming about how we needed to sign a DM and striker last season.

 

[Willkiller]

Sorry I haven't been on Hitch, only had internet active in my new place for a couple of days. Next week?

If anything, I'm getting worse so its not like I'll leave you behind

You'll probably get Schneiderlin on deadline day.

it sounds like he's being held hostage at the moment

"He has accepted it. It was difficult for him but he came back on Monday and had to understand the situation and accept it. Finally he has.

"His future is here as a football player and he knows that."

But you've been on her all week though... 😒

Morning, Willi.

I'm not saying we play nice football for the sake of it, we play football that kills teams and takes us to within an inch of the title.

I thought that was known. Apologies for assuming.

You'll get a reminder on Sunday. And we'll get a reminder of post-Ferguson United tomorrow.

What a time to be living and breathing.

You guys have to see this

NSFW, twerking

Sept. 1st (4:56pm)
Schneiderlin to Arsenal for £23m + addons

Time to channel the optimism of last season's opening.

*Steps into time machine*

We're all stood in a giant circle around the Liberty Stadium holding hands to transfer our chi and release the Golden Digi-egg for Moyes. Golden Armour Energize.

When he's not playing against us.

Always hated that about fantasy leagues especially with money involved.

Can't cheer against my team

I'm glad someone said it, Christ.

We signed Iago Aspas and went from 7th to 2nd.

Talk about differing standards.

Whereas we got rid of the bug-eyed invisible jobber and ended up with La Orejona.

Coincidence?

That's why I don't do it anymore, though not that extent. When Chelsea go 3-0 up, I don't wanna be sat there hoping Hazard scores

What?

It's clear what he meant by "new era."

Greater financial power and winning trophies. Bit disappointed to see you agreeing with Pulga, Arnie.

 

[pulga]

"Winning trophies"

Im sure Mesut is ecstatic about having won that FA Cup.

 

[Salvadora]

Fuck off, will you.

Always being antagonistic and argumentative over absolutely nothing.
