Considering how under the radar the Herrera business was, would anyone be surprised if Kroos was signed once the WC is over?

highly highly unlikely to happen...
but who knows what LVG, the iron tulip, the csar of alkmaar, golden balls might have done whilst in brazil

he might've signed half the dutch team for us

imagine they win the world cup and all reveal united jersies and squad numbers at the end of the match...LVG with a big smug s***eating grin on his face going...

Your move engineer and special one....

Evra up against Valencia later, should be a good game!

A defender who can't defend verses a winger who can't beat a defender. Jaysus, which level of uselessness will override the other? :pac:

Exactly! chaos will reign.... maybe.

Maybe one of them will have a good game........

Valencia will be passing it to the fullback anyway.

Ah the famous easily movable object versus the extremely stoppable force

What happens when a stoppable force meets a movable object?

Edit: I should read more of the thread. Derp.

Evra's not playing.

Mars Bar · 25-06-2014 06:47PM

Koke has signed a new contract at Atletico Madrid so that's him out of the equation

tinofapples · 25-06-2014 08:04PM

Any development on left back transfers today ? Has Buttner officially completed his move away ?

Buttner went yesterday AFAIK. Was pictured in Moscow gear today.

alchemist33 · 25-06-2014 08:11PM

And any news on Herrera today?

Your making no sense you said he was heralded as the best cb in England despite playing 13 games in two seasons at Fulham now he was being gently broke in. Which is it?

Now your talking about him being hyped up to be the next big thing which is a totally different thing. Every young player that looks good is the next superstar and how many succeed to that potential very very few.

Fulham had only recently signed Smalling from a non league side when united bought him. Very few people had even heard of him. But have to agree that he needs to kick on this season, him and Jones. Really think players like them will prosper under LVG.

When smalling had a little run at cb beside vidic a few seasons back he looked absolutely superb. Looked like him and vidic were becoming the first choice pairing. Then vidic got injured.

Reckon smalling has the most potential of our cbs.

ShooterSF · 25-06-2014 08:22PM

I think Evans has shown more out of the 3 when he was given a run.

newballsplease · 25-06-2014 08:24PM

Herrera expected to be announced tomorrow.

This +1000

Think Evans has shown the most promise myself. Playing Smalling and Jones at RB has held them back a lot imo. They will never be proper right backs. Unless Varela is ready, I think signing a RB is very important this summer also.

Agree totally Mitch.

he is awful FB but then again you put Rio or Vidic there and im sure they have been the same.

Smalling is a CB and a very good one with potential to be excellent.

I remember that spell and it had a master & apprentice feel about it. Smalling looked very good and I think Smalling really needs to stay at CB.

Shaw & Herrera a v good start imo. Another midfielder(s) and centre half on the way.

Ha its probably pure s.hite but I love that optimism
