I have to say it was a nice change to see nobody tell us Kate Upton was average or that you see better in Grafton Street.

At least we ain't as blind and little more honest now;)

who on earth said such a hideous thing?

while there are many celebrities who if they were not famous would go unnoticed on grafton street (Miley Cyrus, Kate Perry, Emma Watson etc etc) miss upton is not one of them. the place would come to a standstill if she ever turned up.

Do people expect Fellaini to at least be a solid option for us in CM or do you fear it's a flop already and that it was a mistake buying him?

Personally, I think he not got a fair crack yet. I don't know if he be a 27 million player but I think he is much better then what he has shown and I hope we can see his Everton form more with LVG in charge, hopefully.

I think he deserves more of a chance. He didn't play much this season. It will be interesting to see what van Gaal does with him.

Hopefully he will have a good World Cup,his confidence was totally gone there at the end of the season,a good World Cup get his confidence back and hopefully he will settle in to the squad next season.

I think what he needs most is a manager who says "You role in this team is to X", whatever X may be. At times last season, it felt like Moyes didn't have a clue what his role was.

I'd also hope if put with a creative mind beside him, he could come good. At the very least, he'll be a great squad option for smaller games.

So if LVG isn't announced this week will we start getting worried??

Just 1 quick question

Fellaini has not scored for United yet sure he hasn't or am I wrong??

My mind went blank when Everton fan mentioned it and I can't say for or remember if he had

I was expecting someone to say she was average.

I'm glad I was proven wrong.

Proud of you all.

Would Peter Spencer of MEN be anyway reliable?

He just tweeted: "Everything pointing to the long awaited crowning of king louis tomorrow"

What does this mean? Nobody was making him play with a ball and chain tied to one ankle, the man was utter crap last season and its nobodies fault but his own.

I hope he comes good because we desperately need the options in that position, but fact is better players than him weren't able to cut it at Old Trafford, and his performances suggest he won't either.

I reckon he may be used as a DM for the first half of the season at least. If he doesn't work well I'd imagine Van Gaal would move for someone like Strootman. Suppose it depends on who else we get for CM in the summer

If anyone (straight, gay or bi) said she was average they should be bate once everyday for the rest of their lives for being so stupid :P

if not announced by tuesday morning, ill be worried. there is no reason for this madness to go on, the first stories of us meeting Van Gaal came out 6 weeks ago, even well before Moyes got the boot.

i expect this to be sorted by then, hopefully tomorrow

Talks of tomorrow does seem plausible but as you say anything past Tuesday morning between 8-9.30am and i'll be worried about what the fcuk they are doing.

He came in at a time when he was our only signing. More pressure to deliver and was a player we looked to see if we could change our fortunes in CM, hampered by injuries. Never got more then few games in a row.

Basically he might just need a fresh start this season with us and new signings might take heat off him.

He got one goal last season, for Everton though in the league cup. Can't pick on him alone though for a woeful season.

He wasn't some kid though, he was an experienced Premier league player rejoining his old manager, so if he couldn't handle the pressure then thats all on him. And he would have gotten more games in a row if he hadn't been so poor when he did play. Hell, you know you are bad when you can't keep Cleverley out of the side. I don't agree with the injury thing either, he had a few injuries, not some horrific leg break or something, its not enough of an excuse.

Like I say, there are lots of players who couldn't hack the pressure at a big club, and thus far Fellaini looks to be one of them, hopefully under the new manager he pulls his head out of his arse. Dropping Carrick would be a big help in that regard I suspect.

Fair enough argument there.

Only thing I would disagree on is him being kept out by Cleverley.

IMO Cleverley was seen as more of the playmaker and Carrick the DM something Fellaini was more bought for hence why I think he was in competition with Carrick more then Cleverley IMO.

It's up to the reader to believe it or not.

It's a bollix idea to only allow stories from certain posters ideas of reliable journalists m

Exactly, that actually goes for journalists themselves, they have to write to make money, when nothing big is on the horizon to write about they still have to find something to report. Its up to them if they write something boring from a strong source or something juicier from a flimsy source because they have nothing else and its more likely to get attention.

Mangala said he'd rather play for Chelsea than City because they're in London. Wonder how interested we are/were

That's a pretty aggressive response d*ckface.

Joke, I promise!

I don't remember us selling many players to our rivals. Hughes to Chelsea maybe but he was old and we wanted rid. I'm really struggling to remember one of our domestic rivals stealing away a young player we wanted to keep.

Can you name any?
