    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?

    Wouldn't be surprised.

    De Gea
    RVP
    Rooney
    Mata
    Kagawa
    Januzaj???

    No midfielders I can think of.
    Rafael is questionable, Jones??? Evans???

    De Gea
    Mata
    RVP
    Januzaj
    Rooney
    Jones

    Hopefully Kagawa does get a renewed lease of life under LVG, make or break season for him if hes still here end of summer.

    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?

    Well the BBC has our squad listed as

    RVP is safe and porbably in with a shout of being Captain
    Kagawa and Mata are both excellent players and should be kept. Matagawa could really enjoy the attacking ball under LvG.
    DeGea has been sensational. He's a deinate starter.
    Rooney... could clash with LvG's character. Interesting to see.

    And No. 6 being Adnannnnnnnnn <3

    Any word on René Meulensteen coming back to United?

    Hopefully not. He's a very negative coach.

    Seems we all agree on that five.

    We all have trouble with number 6.

    Januzaj: 'I chose country where I was born & studied. I took my time, my decision is final coz I wanted to focus on #MUFC.' via Sport/Foot

    For an 18 year old, any media stuff and interviews I've seem from Adnan have been very encouraging. He seems to be very mature and focused for his age.

    LVG has all the credentials to enable Adnan to become the world class talent we all know he has the potential to be.

    I'm just as excited to see how he progresses this season, as I am at the prospect of Kroos / Shaw / X, signing on the dotted line.

    Cannot fuçking wait for next season.

    Rooney won't fit in with van Gaal. He's not disciplined enough. He offend ventures wildly towards the ball leaving huge gaps behind him. Leaving the two central midfielders behind him badly exposed.

    Rooney is someone who can certainly be useful under van Gaal but only as a striker and van Persie is a better player than Rooney so I don't see this working out for him.

    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?

    Kid you not, I have checked on another PC and it's the same, No search history on these machines there shared anyway there searches related to, :rolleyes: Smartarse

    ok I do think he could be sold if Van Gaal doesn't have a system to play both RVP and Rooney.
    I think he will have a system to incorporate him, we are not overloaded with top players.
    Most of us can pick 5 and then speculate on a 6th.

    Who steps in if RVP is injured in this case?

    The mighty young Wilson!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,333 ✭✭✭brinty


    I read somewhere (one of the red tops/or an equivalent website) that LVG only rates 4 of our players
    DDG
    Mata
    Rooney
    RVP

    I also read he's comments on kagawa being the best player in germany circa 2011/12

    Outside of that everything is up for grabs in defence and midfield..

    as we say all speculation rumour and here'say

    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.

    A one legged donkey would put Valencia and Young to shame. Valencia literally does nothing other than boot the ball at the first man and Young either goes missing or constantly tries to cut in for the shot. As wingers they offer very very little.

    I honestly expect a lot of youth to come through under LvG. Lawrence, Wilson, Janko, Keane, Valera will all play for the first team at some point next season.


    Hernandez ( :'( )Welbeck, Cleverly, Nani, Young, Valencia, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Carrick and Fletcher would want to step up to the plate fast. Edit: Even Smalling and Jones would want to sort themselves out. Evans too.

    To clarify better out & out striker?

    I think Hernandez will stay as will Welbeck, but I would first try a system to incorporate Rooney.
    Rooney for me is the hardest player to incorporate, as we know RVP is safe.

    Yes, how could I forget such a sensational debut.

    This is based on if he uses a 4-3-3- formation but is it a guarantee? I'm not sure.

    At Mick and keano

    i did that search

    4th was louis van gaal spurs
    interestingly

    No I read an article about his different formations he has deployed. He will adapt to the talent he has available. It was 4-4-2 with AZ so wouldn't get hung up on the 4-3-3 thing for the moment
