Manchester United Superthread 2014 mod warning #8081

Reading on the United sub-reddit that Ogden and Ducker have both flown over to Amsterdam despite not reporting on the Holland vs Equador game. They are joined by other reporters who had nothing to do with it either. This, coupled with the fact the Dutch team have today and tomorrow off as a rest day, has people pondering if today could be the day.

The Dutch Goalkeeping coach has also apparently informed the Dutch FA he's off with LvG whenever he goes.

A lot of outlets reporting we've swiped Sagna from City. On a free, he'd be a good alternative to Rafael imo.

Antoine Griezmann has said he wants to play for a "big European side", putting us, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs on alert.

Mirror also saying Van Gaal wants either Vermaelen or Vertonghen.

Vermaelen is a rubbish centre half. Wouldn't want him near our side

newballsplease · 18-05-2014 08:50AM

On this day 1997 Cantona announced he was to retire.

sigmundv · 18-05-2014 09:37AM

Hargo was a good player. If everything was normal he should still have played in midfield for us, but unfortunately he was already crocked when we bought him. I guess Fergie gambled and it almost paid off, but not quite. He had a good 2008, but otherwise he barely played.

It was a very dark day indeed.:(

Has the papers ran out of players for us to be linked with? Seems quiet the last few days.

or maybe they know the club only have a short list of about 5-8 top class players and theres no point making up stories?

Sagna is the first new "target" to appear in a while, all the others (Shaw, Kroos, Hummels etc etc) have been around for weeks now.

Plenty stories will be concocted, linking Utd to random players will get hits to websites and sell papers.
Whenever LVG is official, that's when transfer rumours will go into overdrive

Indeed. Right now the focus is on speculation about Van Gaal and Giggs and whatever, but as soon as that's done the transfer speculations will begin, linking us to every decent player under the sun, especially Dutch and German ones.

kryogen · 18-05-2014 11:08AM

Wouldn't mind Sagna coming in you know, would make Piers Morgan funny for a couple of days anyway with a twitter meltdown

Mitch Connor · 18-05-2014 11:16AM

Prefer Rafael to sagna myself.

Sagna would be a great addition to the squad but the wages would leave me to think he would be a replacement rather than competition.

The_Kew_Tour · 18-05-2014 11:19AM

right I did this last season where I did a list of all the players linked to us.

was about 20-30 players where we only got 1.

so far this season we have been linked to the following.

Kroos
Shaw
Reus
Vidal
Carvalho
Hummels?
Robben
Cavaini

right ye can throw up more and i will update later.

i will update it every week or 2.

GSPfan · 18-05-2014 11:24AM

Strootman

GSPfan · 18-05-2014 11:29AM

I would rule out Lallana now as a target as he seems to have shifted to Liverpool.

Crimson King · 18-05-2014 11:30AM

Sagna

Will I Amnt · 18-05-2014 11:38AM

Müller too. Might as well throw up the whole Bayern team to save yourself time in the future.

fitzer1982 · 18-05-2014 12:02PM

You should do a running total on the value of the supposed targets, probably be over a billion by the end of the summer.

Load of crap I'd say. We never sell players to our domestic rivals.

Don't know ye seem to sell players to Everton regularly enough

I do believe the story is a load of crap though

Copper_pipe · 18-05-2014 12:38PM

van Gaal when asked how his next few days will be like: "I don't ask you how your next days will be like & I don't want to know neither".

With the exception of last season, they're not really rivals.

A Muller Reus combination would be tasty.

Haha, he's going to be brilliant, his Friday press conferences will be unmissable.

Maybe United need the money, and let's face it, Jones is not top drawer. A win, win situation.
