    I still can't really understand why this is being talked about here. There are about eighty four thousand world cup threads.

    Perhaps Harry might fancy a punt with QPR, Even looking at his name now bothers me.
    Id take him at Villa if United were paying some of the wages, I think hed be perfect with Gabby and Benteke

    All we can is report off-topic posts and leave it to the mods. I agree though, it's really annoying.

    This is very good advice.

    I have no problem with these sorts of discussions if we are talking about the involvement of United players, and it started out that way when people were talking about Rooney, Welbeck et al. But we have veered off that now. Suarez vs Baines isn't something for this thread.

    So please move back towards discussion of Man United, thanks :)

    He was actually a joy to watch for Villa. I have no ill will towards him, just think he is taking up a valuable squad number for United and is a huge drain on the wage budget. He could do well at Villa all the same

    He seems to have lost all confidence. Years ago he used to take on players and cross, now he attempts to, piss*s the bed, turns back onto his other foot and sends in a cross that RVP and Rooney made a run for seconds ago..

    As much as I like Rafael and think he will find his form of 2 seasons ago, if we are to replace him I would like Aurier from Ivory Coast.

    Is Aurier better than Coleman

    Seen as I've only seen him play one game in the WC. How did he play last season lads?
    (I presume you're not basing the decision to but him on matches at the WC because that would be really stupid).

    Not sure only from what ive seen from the WC and a few highlights from last season he looks like he could be good, also linked with Arsenal lately.

    I think it's impossible for LvG to leave that Dutch squad and not bring one or two players with him.

    I think Strootman is a given once fit. Depay, Blind, de Vrij, Martins Indi?

    Martins Indi looks poor from the 2 games he's played, not massively impressed by De Vrij either. Depay looked really good against Australia, even though the keeper should definitely have saved his goal. Depay in, nani/young out. Cleverly and Anderson need to go for good too. Kagawa Mata rooney rvp up top would be great, with welbeck and januzaij and Hernandez on the bench. Need to get Shaw, Hummels and a good defensive midfielder.

    Was mostly playing cm for Ajax so I heard. Could be a decent option there too.

    a lot to be said for a versatile player like that. when you look at the likes of lahm, mascherano, martinez, thomas muller, alaba etc it shows how the players from the best teams have more than one string to their bow. Its a real sign of talent when a player can do a good job in more than one position

    Who do we want now, Sissoko? Valbuena? Matuidi? Pogba? Maybe even Debuchy for right back.

    Waits for Neeson to suggest Senderos :p

    Debuchy is a player we could do with. Competition for Rafael, but he is really good at left full aswell, surprisingly.

    That pogba is really good tonight. Imagine we had a youngster in our ranks like that!!

    Pogba is the hurt that will never go away for us.

    I would be shocked if we signed him for any amount of money while Fergie is still involved in the background. It would be a bit of an embarrassment.
