    Looks like Welbeck is happy to stay now that LvG is in charge, he made very positive comments about the appointment.
    "I am happy. He is a great man, a great manager. Looking at his CV tells you he has managed at some big clubs."

    With all due respect you never did have any idea.

    yeah, you're probably right. United were never in for Kroos, Carvalho or Shaw like I thought and had been told. Clearly there is likely to be no interest in Strootman either, as I have said and been told.

    Ehh... No?

    Who has said anything about Van Gaal? I thought most were extremely happy with him.

    It's the way our transfer business is apparently being conducted, with striking similarities to last summer when we also had a new manager, that has some people worried.

    Well one person already implied because he didn't want Kroos or Fab, he was obviously quite happy to neglect our midfield situation for another summer. If Mata goes, it will be because LVG wanted him gone, not because of Woodward or the staff.

    And 99% of the stories are running with the angle that the problem isn't with Woodward and friends, but with the fact LVG didn't want Kroos (who apparently had a deal 99& agreed under Moyes) or Fabregas.

    By all accounts, the deals that are falling through are because LVG doesn't want them or because the players don't want to come, as opposed to last summer where we undervalued or chased unobtainable targets. So it's logical to presume that if people are already calling this transfer window a disaster or moving towards a disaster, they aren't happy with the decisions LVG is making....

    The people who believe all that need to log out of twitter and step away for a while.

    Will we start a rumor tonight then so. But make sure its a player specifically not been linked to united yet. Anyone have any suggestions. Hows that Korean player that the lads on the Newcastle thread made the rumor about getting on now? :P

    Pick a left back from Italy or Spain maybe just some random player and go with that

    okay i like italy
    go Italian based left back. Any suggestions. Does Zuniga play left back? Or Konko? Could go for Dominic Criscito. Does he still play for zenit?

    Nah, he is too much of a big name.

    A right back is needed by all 3 clubs I think, a random Italian/Spanish/German will do :)

    Hopefully not, I have big expectations for him at Anfield. His agent was spotted in Carras restaurant earlier anyway so there!

    Van der Wiel, Dutch RB for PSG. Just pick any Dutch player really and it'll stick.

    I think we are definitely in for Shaw as a bid has been reported by Sky and BBC. But all the rest are just here say, and whispers from people claiming to know things.

    No matter where you get your information from and how solid you think your source is you should by now realise that you cannot believe any of it.

    Two lads I know are genuinely convinced a rumour they started was the catalyst for Jean de Villiers signing for Munster, so I hope for yere own sake Mallo is a signing ye'd be happy with!

    I don't think I've seen Fabregas play as well for Barca as he did Arsenal. Very few times anyway.

    I didn't want him signed last year and he's done nothing to change my mind in the last year. Anyway, I'd be very surprised if he bypassed Arsenal to come to United.
