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

**** tight fitting jerseys

Not a problem with either, at the right price.

Fact is we don't have a player like him in the squad that we could play and trust, imo. LVG loves to have players for roles, and De Jong (or Carvalho) would cover a role we currently can't.

He was, imo, one of Citys best players when he was there, and I was surprised they sold him. As a squad option he would be a far better DM fit than Fellaini has proven to be. He is not the best in the world at it, but he is more than good enough.

We've had some dirty bastards at United over the years, wouldn't be much new.

29, in his prime, and a beast in front of an inexperienced back four.

Plus I can see Van Gaal wanting to bring in De Jong. Taking over a new big job, huge changes to the squad, especially the back line and the midfield had been one of the weakest parts of the team, get his own man in there who he knows and trusts to give him that bit of protection when the players/new players and manager all settle in to the new system.

It makes huge sense from Van Gaals point of view.

James Ducker was asked on twitter why he didn't know Herrera was signing. He told Jon who asked that you win some you lose some.
Jon then said he should be more like Indykaila, which Ducker replied 'do you want me to lose my job, Jon'.

He was asked yesterday when is United signing Vidal? The reply...

@DuckerTheTimes: @fantastlsco word last wk was that they were monitoring developments onVidal but had no move planned at that stage.Don't know more than that

Never rated Vermaelen tbh, but I suppose I trust LVG

Its very bizarre.

Fair enough if he was fit (worth a chance)but you would think they would of learned from the Hargreaves fiasco

Crimson King · 03-07-2014 11:25AM

I presume its pending a fitness test, has to be tbh.

I suppose its a punt, with losing both Vidic and Rio in the same summer experience needs to attained somehow. I also assume it means the end of Hummels talk.

The money needs to be spent on midfield and one position at least needs to be filled there. Cannot wait to see what LVG does to this team, the man screams of 'winner'.

All the Vidal stuff

Anyone seen this fella?

Who's that supposed to be?

You're God-damned Right. We are not signing Vidal

Muniain extends contract with Bilbao, one player i would love to see bombing up the wing at OT.

Bit of an odd pic to take, like his profile pic though.

Looks like "Herrera Simulator 2014" is coming along nicely....

Has to show off his shoes for Adidas.

No hair is for aerodynamics no doubt, makes him faster.

Wait and see Carricks new look next season after Ander takes him under his wing:pac:

dulux99 · 03-07-2014 12:46PM

I still find it a bit surreal that we've signed an actual central midfielder, so early in the summer. Feels so strange.

I'm sure a few run ins with Lee Cattermole will get him going

Be even more so when we sign another one or two!

Vermaelen was injured or benched most of last season, the season before he made more defensive errors than any other outfield player and beat most keepers as well, I think only 4 keepers made more than him

£11 million for him? Surely we could do better. I'd take Lovren

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.

+1

Our only midfielder that can tackle has a debilatating illness.Fellaini is heading for the door.
Carrick wouldn't tackle the residents of the Playboy Mansion.How many times have we seen players saunter past him and he merely lets them run at our defence.

The Moldy Gowl · 03-07-2014 01:03PM

Vermaelen to us has to be a load of ****e just so people can say 'oh look at how far they have fallen, signing injured Arsenal rejects'

The journalists running it have to have some sort of anti-united bias.

Im sure he would be a grand signing to have around, but surely there is better players his age/experience for that money or available.

TheDoc · 03-07-2014 01:09PM

I don't think there is any substance to it personally. I would have thought Vertonghan would be a more intriuiging signing then Vermaelan, if you are looking for a PL experienced CB with versaility to play on the left.

At this point I'd be annoyed it Hummels doesnt come, that moustache needs to grace OT ASAP.

Blatter · 03-07-2014 01:11PM

I think there's almost certainly substance to the Vermaelen rumours. Too much smoke and some from fairly reliable journalists.
