Dont get how Fellaini is still regarded as a panic buy. We were after him all summer but were just offering money that was never going to be accepted. Also Moyes has said publicly that he did want to sign Fellaini all along however he would have liked a top class player as his first signing and then to snap up Fellaini almost under the radar.

Still crap though

The last line is accurate.

I'm too polite to comment on the rest of what you said there.

Confirmed, the new kit is out - http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/confirmed-the-best-pictures-yet-of-manchester-uniteds-new-20142015-home-shirt/

Looks very nice I think, better than the other pictures we seen.

Corvo · 03-07-2014 08:50AM

That's a lot better than I thought actually, prefer tighter fitting jerseys. Will still wait for the black third jersey though.

advertsfox · 03-07-2014 08:51AM

And I've improved it

markc1184 · 03-07-2014 08:52AM

Amazing what a decent quality picture can do for a jersey.

I dont get it? Its a fact Utd were after him all last summer, therefore he wasnt a panic buy, they didnt just pull his name out of a hat at the last minute and decide he would do, he was always a player Moyes wanted last summer.

I haven't bought a jersey in years, how do they hold up to washing?

Collar and sleeves have a nice retro seventies umbro vibe to them. Little button is stupid looking while the logo is awful, ruins the shirt.

Offering money that was never going to be accepted? Like millions more than his release clause?

You clearly read that post wrong, the bids that were never going to be accepted were earlier in the summer, bids like 28m for both Fellaini and Baines for example

Fellaini is the definition of a panic buy.

The stuff Moyes is quoted as saying recently about that transfer could have been written by Luis Suarez for all the truth to it.

Take a step back and imagine it was a team you didn't support. Things will seem a lot more clear to you, if you can stop yourself laughing for long enough.:o

It is reported in a Chilean paper that a deal between United and Vidal is close.

Google Translate of the 1st paragraph :pac:

Although Arturo Vidal was not a world according to their performance in Juventus, the wheel keeps hogging equipment looks the first planetary order.

If it's true that Fellaini is up for sale, would it suggest that we are looking for two central midfielders?
Vidal and Carvalho would be brilliant IF it happens.

keano25 · 03-07-2014 09:29AM

De Jong would be an ideal signing to sit in front of the back 2.

Lucas Hood · 03-07-2014 09:35AM

I'll be very disapointed if United sign Nigel De Jong.

Why? I like him even when he was at City, he has energy and is hard as nails exactly what we need in front of our defence.

It's a trade off between DeJong and Carvalho, the former being cheaper and a short term addition, the latter being expensive but a long term acquisition.

Neither can do the job of Vidal.

dulux99 · 03-07-2014 09:51AM

I really can't see Vidal happening. I've yet to see even one reputable source, newspaper or reporter even mention it being a possibility.

Agreed unless Vidal is a 1. a United fan or 2. a Van Gaal fan I cant see us signing him.

It's not going to happen. He will be as good as signed over the next few weeks according to reports. He's the new Kroos, Thiago, Sneijder when he was good etc.
The same crap plays out every transfer window.

FutureGuy · 03-07-2014 09:54AM

I strongly dislike De Jong as a person but, as a player, he'd be a good fit if we cannot get a better player. He'd do a great job in front of Jones/Smalling/Evans.

It's a stop gap for a few years.

dulux99 · 03-07-2014 09:58AM

De Jong would be a grand signing. Don't think he'd start every game, but he'd give us that bite that we've lacked in midfield for god knows how long, for the big games. Cheap, proven in the premiership, and already has a good relationship with the manager. Can't see peoples problem with it.

Adamocovic · 03-07-2014 10:04AM

New kit has grown on me a lot, very reminiscent in the old jersey from 2000/2001. Think the collar looks well, can't wait to see a few new signings in it!
