He can't have similar treatment to Janjuaz. He would be behind Rooney, Rvp, Hernandez and Wellbeck. A championship loan would be much better.

Wilson imo is better off in their company for now, he had a bad injury already while in growing years and isn't physically up to a loan yet. He wouldn't get as much game time as Adnan but I think he needs the same treatment in the sense of him staying with United first team. He would get more protection and still gain relevant experience even in short appearances next season. In the second half of the season that might change depending on how he gets on.

Is Bebe not out of contract in the Summer?

Martinez leaving will probably stop any chance of Kroos going, we need to go all out for Martinez if he is

mufc1993 · 10-05-2014 08:29PM

Anyone know if William Carvalho is any good? Never seen him myself. Seems like the type of player we need from what I've heard though!

Mitch Connor · 10-05-2014 08:34PM

I had been certain that LVG was on his way, but I'm really doubting it now - I think United are backing off this deal, and I fear it isn't because they have someone better lined up. I think either Giggs being on the ticket or Fergie in the background are the sticking points in this deal.

Hope I am wrong, or that it is sorted soon - would love to see it announced at about 4.50pm tomorrow...

Didnt Fergie want him to take over when he was originally going to retire?

I reckon if its not announced on Monday, its time to panic

Lord TSC · 10-05-2014 08:42PM

I won't be panicking till a few days after the German cup final, cause I wouldn't be shocked if United still are eyeing up klopp or Pep.

possibly, i don't know.

My worry is that LVG has seen that Fergie still has a large influence at the club, in both the decision making of the club and with the players at the club, and he doesn't want anyone with more football influence at the club than himself. We have all read that he has a big ego - which is a good part of the reason that I want him at the club - and I can see his ego not wanting wanting someone like Fergie potentially sticking his oar into his business.

DM_7 · 10-05-2014 08:53PM

I was thinking the delay was on Uniteds side, his interview during the week made it look like he wanted the job

If we lose Wellbeck or Hernandez would have him back as 4th choice striker.

We could be waiting a bit yet.

Who knows.

You can get nearly 20/1 on Van Gaal not getting the job if you are really doubting it. He's 1/20 to get it. Closest rival is 110/1

I'd say it's a dead cert he'll be your next boss tbh.

wait like we did last summer? how did that work out for us? World Cup year, and after a shocking season, we really can't be wasting time or losing out on signings because they have gone to some other team that actually has a manager.

Say it will be done soon maybe next week but don't be surprised if its not official.

No need to panic. It's pretty much dusted I reckon, but might just need but of time.

Yeah, "imagined" is how I would describe it. I remember you saying it throughout the season, but what you were saying never matched up with what I was seeing.

Seriously? He was like a headless chicken in the majority of games since Christmas. As I said there's no problem with that at his age and with the right guidance he could be a fantastic player but he shouldn't have been getting as many games as he was during that period with superior players on the bench. People want him to be better than he is right now but the future is bright for him if his hard work quotes aren't just rhetoric.

Calling him a headless chicken is just plain ridiculous. The young lad clearly has a very good football brain and can play within a structure without sacrificing his natural flair.
Now I agree that sometimes he was below par during the season but he needs to be let play through those times and gain experience from it and what better time to allow him do that than this season when we weren't in contention for any honours.
His movement off the ball is incredible by the way

Hococop · 10-05-2014 09:50PM

Out of curiosity any one know what is the feeling of the dutch people about it and dutch media, considering they have a world cup next month they won't be too happy with all the speculation of lvg

kryogen · 10-05-2014 09:52PM

I am almost certain the deal is done.

There is no rush to announce the manager, let Giggs have his moment until the season ends.

glued · 10-05-2014 09:53PM

I hope some fans realise that van Gaal isn't going to buy six players this summer. He'll make use of the current crop while promoting youth. He has said that he needs a left footed CB for his system many times so we would probably need to buy one. Mangala is left footed.

I'd say a CB, CM and LB will be the extent of our business unless we lose more players.

Mitch Connor · 10-05-2014 09:56PM

regardless of my feelings that the deal could be going south, I do think a deal/contract is almost sorted - basically done. I think it is final agreement from both sides that is required - my worry is what is holding up that final agreement.

Another possible reason is that they want to announce LVG and his coaching team in one go, and that would require possible sackings, so they want to wait until after the season is done.

user2011 · 10-05-2014 09:57PM

The biggest negative for Adnan is, he is moved off the ball to easy for me (can be sorted with a few workouts in the gym Ronaldo like :P) he has all the other attributes to be a really good player for us. Can he be great? Let's see.

I wouldn't be too hard or over confident with him, I'll say this, he was bright spark in a very dull and very forgettable season.

City win the league and we announce Van Gaal the day after, rain on their parade big time!

Mitch Connor · 10-05-2014 10:10PM

as if to put my concerns to bed....

"Louis van Gaal will become Manchester United boss after being assured Sir Alex Ferguson will not play a major role in the club’s future, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People."

Rayne Wooney · 10-05-2014 10:12PM

I'd say if Van Gaal thinks he will get the job he will already be watching tapes of games to get a general feel for what he will need before he even hits the training ground outside of his duties now with the national team.

He will be well prepared and Woody won't want to fcuk it up like last year as well so I think we will do whatever business we need to as soon as possible.
