This looks straight out of FIFA, complete with the insane speed burst the defender always seems to get. The Octopus' tentacles were out yesterday.

I saw you edited the post, I rehosted that GIF on Minus. I've learned the hard way to not trust weird/unknown GIF hosts, after I posted a goal GIF in the NHL thread. A few hours later it had been changed to a gif of some dudes banging eachother, they were not happy in there.

LVG on brink of showdown with Woodward #mufc

Ruh-roh. He's gonna resign.

@DTguardian confirming Utd pulled out of Mangala deal due to Utd determining him as too expensive

@DTguardian confirming that Benatia was never in Utds thinking, Benatia was plan B for City to Mangala which Utd knew & never challenged

United to sign no one confirmed. Everyones too expensive.

Nicolai Jørgensen, the former Leverkusen player, is out... Which is sad, he's the one player who could create something out of nothing and make a surprise. Right now we're just fucked, wont even be fun to watch.

will be interesting to watch Leverkusen under Schmidt (RB Salzburg legend), I doubt they are playing the way he wants yet, so FCK has a chance, they are in a transition period
 
Does LvG have any history of shaming the people in charge if he is unhappy with them? I like to think if he wants something, doesnt get it, he will be the same with them as he is the players.

Unhappy? He has 9 players injured, does he look unhappy?

And don't worry, he can sign players in 24 hours. Remember>

It's all coming up Moyes.
Well I never quite understood all the hype surrounding him. He's quite good yeah, but he is far from a player like Verratti.

Plus he and his mother are always complaining about his supposed lack of play time, but considering his young age and the squad that we have he should consider himself lucky to have played that much.
Just read an article that was comparing his attitude to Anelka/Bendtner :(

Do not want if so.

Im sure he can, Woodward however has made it so we have signed the least number of players in the premier league and according to one stat I read, but is probably not true but would be fun if it is, we are 91st out of 92 English clubs in terms of number of signings this window.

If thats true I kinda love it

I think it's well documented in his time at Barca and Bayern that he essentially fell out with the board both times. He also fell out with Ronald Koeman at Ajax, also Zlatan too. He even fell out with RVP, dropping him from the Dutch squad before making him captain after they reconciled.

How good is Rabiot anyway? We're probably counting on the Pogba & Coman effect and want to sign him on a free next summer. Which won't happen, obviously.

Nani with a shit cross, even back then.

What is your opinion on him? Could he be what Arsenal are missing in midfield?

http://londontoturin.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/have-psg-pulled-a-rabiot-out-of-the-hat-with-adrien/

Sounds like he'd be more of a project, and definitely wouldn't slot into the starting line-up immediately. Can't say it's that bad since Wenger does seem to trust Arteta still, so if we could buy him and use this year to ease him in and then assess next summer if he's ready or not. Certainly a more cost effective risk than someone like Carvalho who'd cost over 5 times more.

He's in the last year of his first senior contract so everyone is nipping at his heels. PSG publicly freaked the fuck out at the concept of City signing Matuidi on a free/Bosman deal and so I'm sure everyone is hedging their bets a little bit.

Dude got a year left of his contract, apparently is refusing to sign a new one... So it kind of makes sense a lot would try and get him.

I think his only agent is his mom right now, believe it or not.

Apparently he won't sign a contract extension, and with his contract due to expire next June, we are pretty keen on selling him.

I see. So it's a favorable contract situation for the clubs that are interested. I was under the impression that he just wanted out because he wasn't getting the minutes. I know he was loaned out last year, but even then didn't play an awful lot.

Bit doubtful about those wages, as it would work out at about £23,000 p/w.

That would be shockingly low for an internationally capped, senior player.

Tomorrow.

He plays in Greece though. Wages can't have been very high to begin with. Plus he's young. What Rodgers said this weekend rings true. Young English players are so overpayed, it distorts our views on what players at that level should really be earning.

It was from January 2013 to the summer. 13 matches isn't all that bad considering he was 18. Last season he played about the same amount of matches, in a PSG squad and scored two goals. Not bad at all stats wise.

That's what I was under the impression of as well. Of all the clubs talking to him, I don't see him automatically slotting in any of those clubs either. I think he'd get more time at Arsenal than PSG, but nothing dramatic.

That may very well be true, but it's the market we live in.

Pretty sure Yaya Sanogo earns more than that (or similar to).

Think about it. All Marry had to do was not buy a Peluso or a Padoin or buy Ogbonna for 5M€ less and put that money towards signing Verratti. He was basically ours already. Jesus Christ.

He just has to build from a position of weakness now, because united don't have the pulling power we used to. This isn't a bad thing we just need better scouts

Evra, vidic , Ronaldo, were all unknown and under 15 million we just have to find value. That and 24hr news coverage click bait articles and social media have really done alot to hinder progress and warp expectations

Only way to get quality players is to overpay, Woodward doesn't want/can't overpay. Instead rumors of Cleverly getting new deal.

We midtable now

That actually is pretty good considering he's a setup player, not a goal scorer. Only just turned 19 too, so his next contract isn't even going to be his big pay day. Going to be interesting to see where he ends up.

I took a careful cocktail of pills and now I dont feel nearly as negative (kinda serious), but this would put me slightly near the edge.

slowly but surely, you'll realise that sacking him and letting Pavel and Paratici handle everything is the answer
Beautiful assist for Cavani at the weekend. Conte needs to build Italy around him.

team? we should build a stadium around him

a city

a country

Last I heard of LvGs bollocks was that he was gonna shove them down Rooney's throat, but all he ended up giving him was an armband.

That is to say, reports of the grandeur of his bollocks have been greatly exaggerated.
 
There'll be a conflagration if we don't sign players soon. LvG will be showing his bollocks everywhere.

And this time I fully support him if he goes all godzilla on Woodward.

Holy. Shit. How the hell is he still on helm of our signings after the clusterfuck last year.

The ice bucket challenge is fast approaching Harlem shake levels of enough already. And I haven't watched a single video yet. But it's for a good cause, so okay internet, you win.
