Pque is an overrated centre half. He's far too slow and prone to clumsy decisions. If he didn't have Busquets in front of him he'd be badly exposed. I wouldn't be surprised to see Barcelona buy two centre backs this summer.

Also I wouldn't be surprised to see Paul Pogba end up at Barcelona this Summer. The loss of Pogba rests solely at Ferguson's door. What an incredibly naive and stupid decision. The game where he played Rafael in midfield was an absolutely catastrophic decision and probably the straw that broke the Camels back for Pogba.

Didn't Pogba himself say that it was Fergies decision to bring Scholes out of retirement that persuaded him to leave?

Think he said that aswell but the main one was sticking a RB in instead of him at Blackburn made him realise he was wasting his time a united

I thought you had a brother at Carrington and sources in Turin?

Bangkok's brother spotted at Carrington, our man on the scene and in the know.

His Brother is a toilet cleaner and his mate in Turin is Pogba who he met through said jax cleaning bro while at United.

When you search van gaal in google, the 4th closest search term is 'Louis van gaal balls'

WTF :pac:

RobertKK · 21-05-2014 10:56AM

If United does have the money to buy any Byern Munich player according to the BILD, I would want Kroos and Muller.
The rumours United are interested in Konoplyanka, he would be good if and I would near enough bet my house on it that Muller is unobtainable.

I really believe Van Gaal should go strongly after Muller, a perfect player for United.
Muller: "It's not a secret that Louis van Gaal and I have a relationship that goes a bit further than a normal trainer-coach relationship"
Then the bad news... "I have a contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2017, I really enjoy playing for Bayern. There's not really anything better than this."
Pity he won't be leaving....

Those suggestions are based on your own previous search patterns. Fourth search term for me is "Louis Van Gaal Spurs".

What have you been googling?

Id be inclined to agree with you. Our problems are in defence, midfield, pace and supplying the ball up front. Muller is an attacking player and we already have plenty of them.

while we all know what you say is true, its actually scary when you think about it and see it written so simple.

Pace is a big problem, but would Nasri, Silva, negredo and Aguero be that much quicker than our equivalent 4 - Kagawa, Mata, Van Persie and Rooney?

I thought exactly the same while I was typing it out. There really is so much to address with the team.

TheTownie · 21-05-2014 11:04AM

Hummels father/agent talking;

"I know Louis van Gaal from his time at Bayern Munich," Herman told talkSport.

"He's not contacted me about Mats moving to Manchester (United) though.

"I have heard some rumours but Mats is happy at Dortmund at the moment, and only thinking about the World Cup."

Lucas Hood · 21-05-2014 11:05AM

Mata Is a better number 10 than Muller imo. I think theres better wide players out there than him too.

tallaghtmick · 21-05-2014 11:06AM

I don't think we should sign Kroos, My very knowledgeable Liverpool supporting friends have suddenly come to the conclusion that he is crap, over rated, not worth 10 million, Cant get into the Bayern team, a reject, etc etc etc

keane2097 · 21-05-2014 11:06AM

Muller can play pretty much anywhere and has great pace. Would be a huge asset to any squad.

Probably wouldn't solve any of the glaring squad problems United have directly the way, say, signing Shaw would, but would still add depth to the front six, while obviously being massively better than any of the other wingers at the club.

Yeah where Valencia plays is a natural position for Muller.

A huge asset as you say and he knows where the goal is.

Maximus Alexander · 21-05-2014 11:13AM

I don't believe any of this ITK nonsense, since none of them report talking to the only non-footballing, and most knowledgeable, staff member at Old Trafford; the tea lady.

MagicIRL · 21-05-2014 11:16AM

Müller would be a sensational signing for United. He's only 24 and puts Young and Valencia to shame. He plays out right for Germany.

We only have one good winger - Januzaj who has similar stats to Ronaldo at 18 years of age.

MagicIRL · 21-05-2014 11:20AM

I read a LvG quote this morning (I think it was on the BBC but I can't find it) saying that only 6 United players currently can be guaranteed a spot in the team. Anyone have a link?

Hmmmmmmm....

DDG - for sure
Van Persie - for sure
Mata - I would think so
Kagawa - rated very highly by LVG
Rooney - Surely?
Who would the sixth be?

21-05-2014 11:23AM

Any word on René Meulensteen coming back to United?

Cleverley? :rolleyes:

Januzaj perhaps as LVG likes to give youth a go but I'm not sure..

Who do we reckon they could be? I'll go for DeGea Mata Rooney VanPersie Kagawa and Adnan
