    Quick article this morning; Built from the same mould as Fergie?

    http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/james-lawton-van-gaal-built-from-the-same-mould-as-fergie-30278820.html

    Reading the reference to the class of 92 took me back. Do you remember how exciting it was to see Utd play fast free flowing football. Fearless stuff. The sense of pride in the club having brought through these great young players was immense. Certainly haven't felt that good about being a Utd supporter since.

    It's not all about signing big name players for huge fees. That's great but a little empty. If VG can even bring back 25% if that feeling of pride and excitement we felt watching Butt, Beckham, Svholes and the Nev's perform at the highest level he'll have done some job.

    you missed absolutely f*ck all! we had fantasy line ups, non existent news on Van Gaal, usual weekly discussion about Woodward and Park retiring as well as the usual links to the same 5 or 6 players (Shaw/Hummels/Kroos/Muller/Reus)

    nothing has happened of note.

    Cheers homer. I'm starting too worry what all the delays with the new manager is tho. Get LVG done like!

    Same here. As far as Im concerned, Van Gaal is essentially the manager at this stage. He has expressed the desire to manage the club and all signs point to it being made official soon enough. We need to remember he still has commitments to Holland, so there are things there that have to be worked around and so on. For me, players are the main concern.

    Sure, officially, the season isn't even over in England (FA cup), Spain (the league) and Germany (Cup), so getting worried this quick is pointless....

    well every man and his dog knows Luke Shaw will sign, kroos will also sign. Carvalho is all but done he just needs to sign a contract but that deal is up to new manager but all the groundwork is done.

    Until when they are signed sealed delivered and have played for the club are they signed..

    Anything else is pure conjecture and newspaper talk.

    By your logic Garay, Hummels, Muller, Robben, Cavani, Reus (have ye gone off him as a CM:confused::eek:) are all signed too....

    Wager - If you're so confident those 2 players you claim will be signed aren't signed before the world cup I think you should vacate your boards account

    as of this moment those 2 players are ready to sign but united are waiting to announce the van gaal deal first, then role out the red carpet for van Gaals first signings... send a big message across England and Europe that united are back after the disaster of last season. No last min fellaini type deals. up to van gaal then if he wants to sign off on the carvalho deal. they will look to conclude then another 2 deals over the course of the summer before the season starts.....

    the way i see it, i cannot and dont expect players to leave clubs like bayern and come to us without CL football, UNLESS the money we offer them is obscene.

    and even at that, our chances of getting these players are still slim.

    Shaw and Carvalho are more likely as their clubs are of lesser stature than ours and perhaps would burst their bollix to play for us.

    From Van Gaal's comment on SSN just there, it sounds like the hold up is at Utd's end. Need Giggs to feck off?

    what he say?

    i think its pretty clear and has been for a while that the hold up is on our side...i am sure, with the WC approaching both him and the dutch fa want this sorted asap, it cannot be good for them having the media fest. its a distraction that he doesnt need.

    i wonder what this hold up actually is? i hope to god they are not f*cking him about waiting for another manager to possibly become available.

    I gave a few reasons earlier in the week as to why a delay might have happened. At this point though, I cannot see much logic in it. It's becoming a circus.

    There's definitely a spanner in the works somewhere... I wouldn't be surprised if it's Fergie and Giggs...

    He was asked about the job and he gave a curt answer saying you have to talk to Utd about it. Maybe I am reading too much into it.

    SSN just played a clip there with a live reporter. It might have been a repeat clip, but it seemed like they were portraying it as a fresh quote.

    The media circus will run either way; if he was confirmed for the job, the questions would change to "who are you buying", "What'll you do with players who step out of line", and "Can you balance the responsibilities of the WC and the League Transfer window".

    At least this way, he can give the brief "Ask United" and that's the end of the questioning.
