    already, its starting to feel like last summer all over again with the stories of deals being close, only for some pathetic excuse to pop up. linked and wanting the top players, then pulling out or not getting them.

    ive said this many times, there is going to be alot of lads disappointed this summer.

    Oh, so Jan is rehashing old news.

    There is very mixed news on Kroos. It is off says one, others is he is part of a double bid that includes Robben.

    Maybe better off believing it will not happen...

    I still think it's on going by the people i listen to, not claiming inside knowledge or anything.

    Time will tell i suppose.

    Early days yet, especially as the transfer window is a few weeks away from even opening! The ink is still drying too on the Van Gaal contract. An overhaul is essential and it will happen over the summer

    • Kroos is nailed on to sign for 20 million, deal is done.
    • Paul Scholes is suddenly pretty outspoken and evidently doesn't rate Woodward. Rates Kroos though.
    • Paul Scholes also thinks Rooney's best days are behind him.
    • No wait, LVG doesn't want Kroos, deal is off.
    • Moyes flew off the handle and bashed someone in a wine bar when he found out.
    • The Draw a Footballer thread exists.

    We signed Toni Kroos but sold him back to Bayern 3 hours later.

    Trust me, you're better not knowing!

    Kroos looks gettable now and if we aren't interested or LVG has blocked it I think I will actually cry for hours on end....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Manutd_4life


    I'm pretty sure that LVG quote someone put up earlier is a load of crap. Still believe the kroos deal may go through....but for 20million, im not too sure

    No way LVG would block it, I wouldnt be having that at all

    Course, I also wouldnt be having that he was being sold for 20 million

    Or that we were on the verge of signing him

    I think Woodward is actually working his socks off to get some deals through and i wouldn't be so scared if any deals aren't announced before the WC.
    I'd say transfer targets such as Luke Shaw are 85% complete and it would make more sense to announce the deal after the WC, so he can solely concentrate on the WC at the moment and not have the press hunting him down. Plus he's only 18 years old, how much pressure can you put on a young lad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    So according too the IDK Twitter accounts we wanted Kroos, had 20million accepted and LVG blocked it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,192 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Scholes has had a busy day

    He wants Vidal

    I much prefer Kroos's hair to Vidals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    I personally think Kroos is best at Number 10 an we are well stocked there with Mata, Rooney and Kagawa. I think above all else we need a bit of steel as well as flair, don't get me wrong Id take Kroos but Strootman and Vidal would be the best central midfield partnership in Europe, defensive stability, creativity, and they both score goals. Kroos as a number 10 ahead of strootman and Vidal would be the ultimate


    Heres my dream united 11 for next season


    Dea Gea

    Coleman
    Evans
    Hummels
    Shaw


    Strootman
    Vidal


    Robben
    Mata
    Reus


    RVP


    Can you imagine that team

    Transfer windows are the worst. Don`t believe anything you read. Might as well just ignore it all till transfer deadline day. I won`t believe anything till I see him in a UTD jersey!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,638 ✭✭✭✭bangkok

    If its hypothetical then i want them all.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    None of the above, I want Carrick, Cleverley and Anderson to be our main men next season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    I wouldn't put Kroos and Fabregas in the same midfield in football manager myself, there are a lot of similarities about the way they play, you need someone like Strootman or Vidal in beside them

    ITK Palmeri has apparently said Van Gaal wants Fabregas

    I suppose I would be happy with a midfield of Fabregas and Vidal.

    Lads, Will anybody be supporting Holland in the World cup now that LVG is our gaffer. I see positives and negatives for us if the dutch do well. LVG will come back to Manchester felling invincible and buzzing from their World cup exploits and obviously the negative that he will be with the national team longer.
