    I can see Tello being somewhat of a good fit for you. You guys have a pace problem, he has pace to burn. Not the best passer or with the ball at his feet, but he doesnt shy away from taking on opponents.

    3 5 7 9 11 are a lot of first team numbers

    Barcelona are in for a massive summer in the transfer market along with man utd and its been known for a while now. said it months ago barca will be looking to buy 4-5 players that will go straight into the starting 11. but with all the spending they are going to have to sell a few. Sanchez fabregas mascherano look like 3 players that they will/can sell to make money from and fringe players pedro, tello, deulofeu could all be sold on as well to make money from incoming transfers. United almost had sanchez a few years ago but he chose barca, cant see them going back for him and the there are is talk that Liverpool are in for him, cracking player but don't know where he would fit at united. def think we should try for fabregas again this summer.

    also now van gaal has been announced I wonder will he bring a dutch player with him straight away? Jordy Clasie maybe just to add bodies to the midfield department...strootman if he wasn't injured?

    Fcuk skae kid with your sources it hought you'd know all the players we would have in
    Did LvG not give you a private audience yet??
    When will Kroos and Shaw be announced as you proclaimed pre world cup on Friday
    Speculating on us signing Barca players, i thought you'd be confirming that we were signing all of them,
    go back to bed, you're drunk

    Perhaps, but I'd rather talk about that bastard son nobody seems to love, the one who left for London for a bit, then got practically kidnapped and brought home, then got shifted around loads of positions, now is being pushed out the door.

    Cesc btw :pac:

    Now where the feck are my signings! I kid, I kid.

    Really looking forward to seeing what LVG does with the new signigns, and with the players that remain. Really REALLY looking forward to the new season now.

    Barca are even less likely to let him go now. Xavi has shown clear signs of decline, with Fabregas starting ahead of him on a number of notable occasions this season. Cesc is also their primary plan B when Messi isn't on form. I think United would be better off looking elsewhere.

    Van Gaal announcced?...

    and Evra going means up to 5 first 11 jerseys to be filled. that in essence sums up the big rebuild that is now needed.

    who will take them? we hope its players of the calibre of Hummels, Shaw/Coentrau & Kroos but the number 7 is a huge mystery.

    lets see who Van Gaal has lined up for it.

    There seems to be a lot of talk out of Barcelona that they would sell Fabregas.

    Logically, from the outside looking it, it wouldn't make much sense. However there is apparently something not right there.

    fabregas is regularly booed by the home fans, they haven't taken to him and a lot of barca's problems are blamed on him (unfairly I might add) doesn't seem to have a regular position with them. he has a good resale value as well, he is def up from grabs

    LukeShaw3
    5 - Hummels
    CR7 - has to be lads after he wins the UCL with real this saturday
    9 - Cavani
    11 - no one, it'll be retired as a mark of respct to Giggs
    15 will be free too

    If fabregas came in i could see jones moving to #5 and fabregas #4

    We're not retiring any jersey number.

    Cavani has stated he's staying a PSG next season.

    The fans don't like him - haven't forgiven him for leaving, think he is lazy on the pitch too.

    I reckon Barca would sell at the right price (FFP, their debt, wages and need to buy a few defenders contribute) and Fabregas will leave if Barcelona indicate they don't want him.

    I reckon it is basically the same as last summer - neither would mind a parting of the ways, but neither want to be the one to publicly push for it. Which means, as it did last summer, if United want to buy him they will have to offer Barca a big whack of money - so Barca can say they couldn't turn the offer down.

    Is Januzai too young for 7?

    Ronaldo took it over at 18/19 from David Beckham, no reason he couldn't but i wouldn't burden him with the kind of pressure, unless he absolutely storms the world cup.

    I think #7 will go to the big name signing of the summer whomever that may be..I'm not going to speculate or bull***t on who it might be...CR7 would be welcomed with open arms though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭ericzeking


    Januzaj to take either 7 or 11 and for it to be the making of him.

    It'd gonna be so weird seeing anyone other than Giggs in 11, he's about the only player left from the non squad number days, like the rest of the class of 92 all wore twenty odd on their backs at the start. It's as close to a case for retiring a number as you will get.

    Happy with Van Gaal announcement,seems to be a right character, I can't wait to see what he does with his 433 and how he moulds our players, and what he can do with players who at first glance don't appear to fit the system, he seems like the type who could inspire a guy to do something he previously wasn't capable of. It will be great to see us dominate possession against better sides, something even Fergie couldn't do an awful lot of the time.

    The fact it was announced signals to me that signings must be imminent, you'd want a manager in place for any sort of high profile incoming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,333 ✭✭✭jonnyfingers


    Seems like we've been linked with all these players. That being said a potential team with all the rumored signings would probably play like a Kevin Keegan team, win or lose 4-3 every game!
    De Gea
    Rafael---Hummels---Evans---Shaw
    Kroos
    Mata
    Fabregas
    CR7---RVP---Robben

    Subs: Sagna, Kagawa, Strootman, Muller, Cavani, Reus, Smalling, Jones

    Edit: RVP in, Rooney shoved out the door by LVG

    Someone should write a big ghey poem.


    The little horse had faltered
    And the gunner's implosion left them lame,
    The scousers claimed they were back,
    Slipping back into the top 4, their second place trophy they did reclaim

    The noisy neighbours triumphed,
    And the chosen one took the blame
    But the most successful club in England,
    United by stance and by name
    Will soon again be victorious
    The beginning of Aloysius van Gaal's Oranje reign
