    I would prefer any fit player in the world to an unfit player. What a stupid post.
    I would prefer Degea up front instead of Falcao who isnt able to play.

    dafuq.

    So we're in agreement. Good to know.

    If Welbeck was still there he'd be injured too...

    Welbeck isnt here? He wanted to leave??

    Due to circumstances. The main one being the signing of Falcao. Hence the deadline day transfer.

    It was an unconscionable decision from Van Gaal.

    He wanted to send Danny on loan, Danny wanted to be sold.

    Christ I hate this Welbeck debate.

    Damn straight, players like Shaw, Di Maria et al are a shower of wasters, nobody else even wanted them, wouldn't get a game for a Sunday league team

    The haven't made much of an impact so far. Shaw is only starting to find his form and di Maria has got consistently worse with each game.

    Good players, but we paid way over the odds though.

    Ignore the fact that Welbeck wanted to leave for months why don't you, even before Falcao was signed.

    The Falcao loan is a gamble, If he does get going we will be watching one of the world's best strikers in action, it hasn't paid off yet and if it doesn't he is Monaco's problem and you would assume United spend the money on someone else, another someone else that's better than Danny Welbeck.

    Il also say that since Gill and Sir Fergie have left the transfer policy has been a joke.

    RVP aside, our transfer policy was a joke for years.


    Gutted about Blind's injury, hope for better news at the next scan...

    Fearsome looking yoke he's hooked up to, is it pumping air into that thing around his knee to massage it?

    You'd think he'd take the plastic off the lampshade in his new gaff though :pac:

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Hmmm I'm not convinced so far. We made luke Shaw the most expensive left back of all time. Also di Maria hasn't impressed me much so far for 60 million.

    Toni Kroos and fabregas went for around 25 million each in the summer, they would have been great signings.

    Kroos might have joined if Moyes was stisti there and Fabregas I think was likely if the CL was made. Shaw is 19, great transfer and one I'm incredibly happy with in relation to some of the deals done.

    I'm not actually really upset with anyone who came in during the Summer, it's the ones who left or didn't come in that's the problem. How useful would Nani have been the last 4 or 5 games? Him and Di Maria on the wings would give incredible service to the strikers. Kagawa was the best player on the pitch during some of the mini resurgences last season and is dumped. Mata is this season's Kagawa, dropped for no reason and expected to be the saviour when he comes in.

    Getting Nani back in January will be tough as he's probably really enjoying actually being played for his home club again and might still make it to the knockout stages of the CL. But the lack of cover in even some forward positions is criminal.

    Oh god, please not a Kagawa is a victim debate. He had his chances, he was bad, bar a few games.

    United signed 6 players in summer.

    Shaw, Rojo, Herrera and Blind have all also had injuries since they arrived.

    Last summer's one signing Fellaini was injured for must of last season and much of this one.

    Going further back, apart from first season, RVP has missed quite a lot of games.

    Do i'd give Falcao a break before calling him waste of money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan



    De Gea
    Valencia-Smalling--McNair--Blackett-
    Herrera--Fellaini-Carrick---
    Di Maria

    Rooney---RVP

    Any substance to this apart from the fabregas debacle or did you just stick your finger up in the air whilst writing this ?

    I wouldn't mind seeing Rooney up top on his own with Mata in behind him. Di Maria being given a free role and RVP on the bench.

    Kroos said after signing for real that he had agreed in principle to sign for United but opted for real once he heard LVG was taking over.

    Any link for that? Preferably one with quotes, not just a tweet from J.A. Fjortoft...

    On the phone now so will have a look later. It was well publicised at the time. A quick Google should throw up a few links.

    It all came from a tweet from Fjortoft as far as I can tell. He peddles his fair share of bullsh*t too.

    From Sports Witness who are pretty reliable.

    Croatian press covering Darijo Srna to Manchester United. They say journalist who claimed it is reliable and revealed Tadic to Southampton.
