Well Ed, just saying if you still want to make that marquee signing everyone was harping on about............

And yes I know how unrealistic it is, but just imagine him doing that every week for United.

Isn't he a #10?

iirc hes supposed to be more of a winger than a no10 but i could be wrong

Zico · 05-07-2014 11:11AM

I wouldn't say any player is unrealistic for Utd, especially when you consider what Rooney is on and the wages being wasted on Ashley Young. There's money there, which could be freed up for a big name.

There has been an understandable reluctance to get into a bidding war for players with the likes of Chelsea or City in the past, when there was no limit to what they could spend, but I think that's changed now, if FFP is properly enforced. Remember we outbid RM for Bale and who knows what would have happened if the club sectretary was left to do the negotiating instead of the intern from advertising sales.

Can and has played any of the attacking positions I believe, but get out of here with that ''no room for him nonsense''

Any word on getting rid of some of the deadwood at United? Ashley Young etc....

beno619 · 05-07-2014 11:23AM

Ando,Young & Nani are here for life

I think that LVG will take a look at as many players as possible on tour and then the clear out will begin and continue at Christmas.

We are not selling Ashley Young.

I don't actually believe we would have paid €100m for Bale, and I wouldn't have expected the club to do so.

He is a player I would love us to have bought though.

Why wouldn't we have paid it if we made spurs the offer ?

I don't believe we made an offer of €100m to Spurs. If you have official evidence that we did then obviously I would be wrong, but I don't believe United would have officially made that bid.

you're right re positions vs style (which i acknowledged in my last post tbf)

but the requirement for touch is informed by how they play the position too, try play it differently and you'll need more of this and less of that.

So is it that Rooney is playing the position wrong for the skills he has? He got 19 goals and 15 assists in a season where everybody else went to shít. I'd say he's using his skills in that position just fine and that the problems lie elsewhere.

No solid proof just the reports you've probably read as well, Moyes hinted that a bid was made as well.

For people wondering about the tour to USA, here is the page about it: http://www.manutd.com/en/Tour-2014.aspx

Someone asked about kick-off times. These are:

LA Galaxy: 3:30 a.m.
AS Roma: 9:10 p.m.
Inter Milan: 12 p.m.
Real Madrid: 9:05 p.m.

Prospective final if we finish top of this group: 1 a.m.

KH25 · 05-07-2014 04:43PM

There's hope for us all lads. If Fellaini can be a pro footballer, anyone can.

newballsplease · 05-07-2014 04:44PM

Fellaini v Messi is a bit like Tom and Jerry.

I hate him, everything about him.. So unlikable, scraping down the back off messi leg, aw he's just horrid.. I really hope we get rid of him..

beno619 · 05-07-2014 04:48PM

Hadn't been that awful today and none of his teammates have been much better.

HaveASnickers · 05-07-2014 04:50PM

I'd rather have Young on the left than Kagawa.

newballsplease · 05-07-2014 04:52PM

Anyone hear that Itv commentator saying when Fellaini heard Origi was called up to the Belgium squad, fellaini said he didnt know who he was ?!!

Bizarre

Kagawa can't play to any decent standard on the left wing.
