We'll be lucky to get 8th this year. It's our year this year even if we sell Louis Louis.

Apologies lads, my account was hacked and I've changed my passwords now.

We are not signing Vidal. He'd be an idiot to join us. There is more of a chance of Sanchez joining us and that's not going to happen.

Backstreet Moyes · 04-07-2014 09:54AM

My two dream signings would be Vidal and Sanchez would be unreal to get both. Also anybody who wouldn't want Di Maria at United has no idea about football. A true world class player, Madrid would be nuts to sell him but it is Madrid we are talking about.

Yes. In your dreams because it's not ever happening.

FutureGuy · 04-07-2014 09:58AM

Actually, you know what forget it. I have to say what I feel and I do think there is merit to the Vidal/United talks.

United: Wanna come play for us?
Vidal: Haha fcuk no!

whats this about?

Backstreet Moyes · 04-07-2014 10:01AM

Vidal and Sanchez is dreamland along with Hummels.

What is more likely which i would still be happy with.

Blind, Depay, Carvalho and Strootman in January.

TheDoc · 04-07-2014 10:10AM

Could you imagine if the Vidal stuff hit a head today and was done.

Ed is all about making good weekends!

That would make my whole month never mind the weekend....
Get it done Ed

By the way any updates on Kroos... has he definitely signed for Madrid or is it paper/meeja talk??

Id be delighted with that tbh.

Have to say fascinated by tonight's match

Kroos vs Pogba. No doubt LVG will be watching, wonder if Kroos could impress the manager enough to make him change his mind.

I've still got that hope. A midfield comprising of Kroos, Herrera and a fit Strootman is outragous beyond belief. Strootman the holding prescence, Kroos the controlling influence, Herrera the marauding CM.

Linking up with Mata, Rooney and RVP.

*drools*

Looks like the rumors of "LVG want's ManUtd misfit gone" are true..

Not exactly the size to be a marauding midfielder ala Yaya?? but could work
and Kagawa, Depay and Janujaz to back that front 6 :rolleyes:

"I don't have to prove anything"? That speaks to me of an attitude problem. You're only as good as your last match, nobody in any line of work should be making a statement like that.

Be doing well to get 15m for him

TheDoc · 04-07-2014 10:38AM

The French look much more assured in what they are doing alright. And having a recognised striker leading the line makes such a difference.

Germany just seem to be out of ideas when they are in the final third, as there is no-one really taking command of that front line by making runs etc. Muller seems to occasionally latch onto stuff.

Gotze btw has been a massive dissapointment and hasn't turned into the player I thought he would. He's been pretty woeful this tournament so far, providing little to nothing offensively.

You can see how much they much the more direct and pacey Reus and an inform striker. Have to say thought it weird they didn't take KeiBling.

Germany are my tournament team though, so be cheering them on

When I think marauding I think relentless up and back attack attack attack. He seems to have the stamina and drive to just constantly keep going, especially with someone in behind him doing the dirty work.

Fair point, for me its someone like Yaya that can run through people and is almost impossible to stop

i think in a 3 of ander-vidal-strootman all 3 could be interchangable and do the defensive and offensive owrk

TheDoc · 04-07-2014 10:54AM

Quotes from Kroos just now saying he has not agreed a deal with anyone and don't be making a decision on his future until he is finished with the world cup...so anything remotely linking him with somewhere is false.

Seemed to indicate offers have been made to his agent but he has left strict instructions not to be informed of them until he is done in Brazil.

Plenty of twists left in this one IMO. Feels increasingly likely he will leave Bayern. Which is mental....

I know I'm in the isolated position of my opinion but I'd whole heartedly prefer Kroos to Vidal. He could be gotten for less and enticed with a nice signing on fee and wage.

He's such a calm and controlling presence that links everything up.

Or he is lying.

True, I'm always fishy of pretty much anything anyone says in football, but somtimes you need to take it at face value.

The unfortunate truth is that he has probably listened on in envy as Khadera and Ozil talked about Real Madrid over the last few years.

HaveASnickers · 04-07-2014 11:04AM

Kroos can be poor enough at times, can go missing. Vidal would always stand out imo.

bangkok · 04-07-2014 11:07AM

if di maria is 40m anyone fancy Griezmann at less than half that price?

davemckenna25 · 04-07-2014 11:08AM

Why do people talk of Herrera as small. He's 6 ft. Bulk up a little more and won't be easy to push off the ball!!
