Looking forward to hopefully a few world class signing coming in. It will be exciting over the summer with the transfer speculation on who is coming in and leaving.
I'm happy with LVG and RG taking the club forward. For me Champions League qualification, a good run in the FA and League Cups plus one or two younger players coming thru is realistic.

Mal Donaghy stands out to me as almost being a player from another era!

Shameless plug if ye all like football manager why not join 80 other boards posters and join our soccermanager.com league?plenty of posters in here over there already,?? It's a similar game weve a huge thread and all about it.. If you have questions or can't find the thread PM me,were allways looking for players.

PS We are not signing Kroos Shaw Muller or Rues!!!

Twitter is gone into over drive with Kroos to United deal agreed. That Official Agent guy announced it 30 minutes ago too.

Love twitter for entertainment value. I would just never in my wildest dreams believe anything on it regarding transfers. I think the Lucas Moura transfer confirmed how bad it is to put any credibilty to twitter.

The_Kew_Tour · 20-05-2014 10:06PM

Been on twitter very little lately but just on there and it's Kroos to United all the way.

KombuchaMshroom · 20-05-2014 10:07PM

Realistically how likely is it to confirm the signing of any player going to the World Cup until the competition is over?

When are they going to have the time to sit down and discuss personal terms as well as completing a medical?

And I don't mean this in a buzzkillington type of way, I'm genuinely asking the question. Does it happen often?

Right I am going to make a brave call and say

That we might sign Kroos, but he might also stay at Bayern.

Yep I know.

Corvo · 20-05-2014 10:14PM

The ever reliable James Ducker saying that Van Gaal has "left the door open" for Strootman.

Get Kroos and Strootman I say

I only joined to keep in touch with everything Man Utd but Jesus the amount of s.hite people talk is ridiculous - lies can spread like wild fire and actually make you think god this could be true but ha 99.9% of the time it turns out to be s.hite.

Agh Kew
That's like saying we might get CR7 but he might stay at real
Must check the twitter verse but if this deal could be true and finalised I think a lot of people will owe Ed "the equaliser" Woodward an apology

That's the joke (I admit a poor one)

I love twitter and I love the ridiculousness of it. Worse thing is people putting any credibility in it or being upset by it. It is what it is. Enjoy the madness of it.

It really depends who you follow, there are a few respectable journalists out there and sky and the BBC in particular are usually rock solid ... And of course official Man Utd themselves, keeps you nicely up to date on any announcements quickly.

And don't forget fantasy football teams from the official club accounts, absolutely vital for any FF players sanity.

No way, he might join some other team, like maybe Man City, or maybe Fulham.

The_Kew_Tour · 20-05-2014 10:28PM

Off to bed.

I fully expect Kroos to be done and dusted when I get up.

Or Shaw.

Night everyone.

dahat · 20-05-2014 10:29PM

Twitter is my newspaper for work these days, a whole load of ****e with a little good in there somewhere.

I am absolutely dying to know how LvG will set up United.

4,3,3 ?
4,2,3,1 ?
3,5,2 ?

I would just love to see something different. Something exciting.

The reality is, if there was genuine interest on both sides, the personal package would be worked out well in advance through the agents, the medical takes a few hours so if there is a will to get some deals done before the WC there is no problem time wise.

we dont have the players for 3,5 2 or even 4-3-3 at the moment. we lack pace for both of those and its most of the players we are looking at right now dont exactly have pace either, apart from Shaw.

more than likely it would be a 4-1-3-2 i would imagine.

Peanut Butter Jelly · 20-05-2014 10:41PM

Both of Germany's remaining warm up matches are in Germany (Cameroon in Mochengladbach on 01/06 and Armenia in Mainz on 06/06) so any medical could be done in Germany with United representatives on location.

I am envisaging a 4312 with Kagawa Fellaini and AN Other playing behind Mata and Rooney RVP up top

I think Fellaini will be shown the door. Just my opinion but I think he was a poor buy and this season his level was truly shown.

Ssh, it's a reverse jinx

Quandary · 20-05-2014 10:51PM

Lot of frenzy being whipped up about Kroos now alright

Skybet are the only bookmaker offering odds on Kroos to Utd. Currently at 1/8.

I think Sneijder to Utd was backed into 1/9 at one stage and we all know how that one panned out!

In case you dont know, Futureguy is our good luck charm. He declared Mata un sign-able and it worked.

He's our version of Alan Hansen.

brinty · 20-05-2014 10:59PM

Sky bet has us at
1/8 for shaw and kroos
1/1 for fabregas
8/11 for jordy clasie
6/4 for Cavani
3/2 for coleman
4/1 ross barkley (second to Chelsea at 3/1)

hmm think i'll keep me tenner in my pocket

Peanut Butter Jelly · 20-05-2014 11:01PM

Can someone explain the 1/1 odds...
