    Why do you keep saying Blinds best position is left back, he plays cm for Ajax doesn't he (maybe i'm wrong)?

    Have you watched him a lot in both positions to come to the conclusion he is a better left back?

    Blind reminds me of Gareth Barry in a lot of ways

    I think Barry is very under rated, he had a marvelous season at the Toffees last season.

    Finding the right thing to do with young players is very tough and very important. Van Gaal has a proven track record of bringing through young talent which is something i think is very important.

    Wilson, Lingard, Janjuaz, Zaha, Keane and Powell i really have high hopes for over the next year or two.

    I have high hopes for Wilson out of the above and Michael Keane.

    Zaha/Powell can be sold, not good enough imo.

    Will Keane, I like him but don't think he's good enough, give him a season on loan in PL 0 the last one at QPR was stupid move on his behalf.

    Jesse, is another play I really like, would have hoped he would have pushed on further, again a loan to a PL club and see how he goes.

    The ones you forgot. Reece James/Tyler Blackett/Varela/Janko/Lawrence

    First 2, will be kept and see how they do. The others if a good loan option came up, i'd be happy to see how they go. Maybe keep Varela as he's possibly good enough as cover.

    Anyone heard anything on new additions to the coaching staff? Phil Neville (BBC) and Paul Scholes (ITV & BT Sport) have either left or been ditched so has LVG already appointed enough backroom staff or are there positions to fill? It's unlikely but a return for Rene Meulensteen to fill Neville's role perhaps?

    Rene to replace F##k off Phil? Noooo. Rene said months ago he's not going to be involved with LVG. All other positions are full from what I can tell.

    So this Rojo lad, it's come out of the blue like Herrera?
    Not particularly a few people have been saying he's leaving, particularly since he refused to play the friendly a couple of days ago, but he's been mooted to leave all summer. @Portuball (jan hagen)

    If true, this is why it was stupid to let Evra go to them for next to nothing

    In a world where Lukaku goes for close to 30mn, James Rodriguez goes for 45mn before the WC and 70mn after, Gareth Bale and Suarez go for over 90mn, Cavan for about 64mn, 70mn for the best box to box midfielder in the world really isn't that ridiculous. High, but not ridiculous.

    Speaking in Euros that is, which would be a shade over 55MN sterling.

    Some price for Cavan.

    I assume its for the whole county itself and not just the GAA teams

    I think he was arguably the most important player they had. Very good number 6

    He was very good for the development of McCarthy too! Was very good business making the move permanent.

    I refuse to believe we've bid for anyone until people I trust confirm it.

    BBC are very reliable.

    errm, one left Southampton and the other turned down Southampton....lets not get carried away here just yet.

    Tongue firmly in cheek.

    There is no one reliable any more


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,263 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    I am quite pleased with this signing myself. I watched all the Argies games in the World cup and hes a left footed central defender and he looked very decent. Hes a tall lad and is not afraid to put in the tackles. Now for Vidal and I would be delighted with out summer business:D

    The only thing that's changed is the people expect/want to know exactly what's happening.

    For me, when I look back reading the sunday papers for transfer news and teletext were just as unreliable but less immediate than the internet.

    Back then when you read a 'transfer' you took it with a pinch of salt and didn't believe anything until it was confirmed. This hasn't changed for me.

    Now you can intereact directly on twitter with journos and glean information from interviews etc. Much more accessible than years ago.

    Sure there was a sweet spot for twitter a few years back, but the world caught on and here we are.

    Plenty of reliable stuff out there if people are bothered to look and read around rather than whinge about the dickheads that troll and put up lies and half truths.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    I wouldn't exactly believe the papers that the deal for Rojo is done. If that was the case we would already have Hummels, Vermaelen, De Vrij, Cavani, Cuadrado, Strootman, Vidal and Di Maria all at Old Trafford tonight :P

    Gwan the Reece James!

    BBC reporting it as news on the main football page is pretty much fact. They stick all the newspaper stories/garbage in a separate "gossip" page.

    No Evans or Shaw. Just precautionary I presume?

    Taylor's take on Vidal saga.

    Daniel Taylor @DTguardian
    United have been trashing the Vidal link all summer. But there's too much noise. Something definitely going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,938 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Seemingly Evans is injured.

    Thank god for our awesome backups in defence.

    Not sure whether I credit that line of thinking or not, although it's the only reason I've been unable to commit to the position that it's 100% made up over the last few weeks.

    He's probably as reliable as they get for United yeah?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 542 ✭✭✭twam2008


    Last Word said Rojo put in a transfer request. Sounds like its happening.
