    I am guessing

    4-4-1-1 is possible for standard league games.
    4-3-3 for bigger games and Europe.

    I see no reason that Nani would be going - he could play in the normal formation or either side of the attacking three.

    I can see Valencia playing right back alright. Especially in the 4-3-3.

    I don't think Van Persie will be signed. His wages and the game time expected make me think United couldn't give him what he wants.

    I honestly can't fathom how you people on here talk such nonsense sometimes :) I mean sure, he's in contract NEGOTIATIONS but has he ever said he wants to leave? NO. He's said the opposite and wants to stay.

    There is ZERO Interest from any club (that we know of)

    Honestly..............Am I the only one who takes no notice what-so-ever of tabloid media until I hear an official release from the club, if I were to believe half the **** that was talked about we'd have sold EVERYONE this summer and have bought EVERYONE bar madonna and britney spears.

    PS. Berba, you're the SMEX

    RVP: "I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions."

    Thought he came out and said that he isn't signing a new contract so in essence I'd imagine he will be gone this window. Although I don't for a second think it'll be to us and honestly I don't think he is what we need. Think we are sorted up front at the moment and investment is more needed in other areas.

    Maybe I'm missing something here, I thought sReq | uTeK was talking about Nani?

    Or I'm missing the sarcasm here?

    Poster is talking about the Nani speculation based on possible signings and his contract situation.

    Ya your probably right. Saw Ivys post above it about seeing RVP in formations and then thought sReq | uTeK was on about RVP.

    First one is Scholes, To brady, to berb, to Macheda and Hernandez miss I think.

    Second is a Scholes scoop pass.

    Third is Brady and Macdeha I think..

    Fourth is Berb control.

    Fifth is Brady corner and Berba volley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,777 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    TY, Brady looks jazzy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    RvP makes no sense. It totally throws our formation into code red trying to throw on all of our best players. Add the stupid money it would cost for a player we do not need.

    It would be cool though....

    Doesn't matter how much Kryogen posts here. His posts are far better and makes sense than many posts here and also from other ManUtd fans in other forums.

    Totally agreed. I hope no one thinks I was having a go @ Kryo. I love him and his big stupid face.


  • Registered Users Posts: 269 ✭✭TopOfTheRight


    Lads, Van Persie is clearly being signed to play Left Back, I really dont see how nobody has realised this yet, even better delivery than Baines i'd say ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,409 ✭✭✭✭Liam O



    De Gea
    Raf---Smalling----Vida----Evra
    Carrick

    Clev

    Kags

    Nani
    Rooney

    RVP

    Not that I think RVP will ever join but there you go :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Id actually **** the pants if we got RVP.

    Its ok, most of us will if that happens


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭Samich


    If we sign RvP I think Hernandez or Welbeck should be loaned to Everton or something. Too good not to be playing games at their age.

    Where did you hear this?

    Also I think it's possible we'd sign Lucas. We'd easily recoup the money from him if we wanted to.

    really? history will show its a huge huge gamble. an unproven 19 year old brazilian for 41million euro is defo by no means a guarantee to proove a cash cow for us.

    signing him, is a big risk.

    Just an observation, but you're always complaining and lots of your posts have nothing to do with soccer.

    I already asked where he heard it, no need to be narky.

    I would be amazed if we signed Van Persie, I think it would be great short term, while ignoring the midfield problem, or giving Fergie an excuse to play Rooney there more! But long term I dont like the deal, it has to hamper the development of Welb and Chico who could both be superstars I think. I would rather we stick with them and if we are looking for an experienced striker then just keep Berba and play him! He can play the deep role to perfection.

    These Lucas stories not going away oddly, if it is to happen it will happen by the end of the month imo as the club will own even less of him in August (its now an 80-20 split, becomes 70-30 in August)

    Could it not happen that the 20% owners keep their 20%? Would it not make sense that way?

    Say Lucas is worth 40 million now, and became a superstar in a few years and was worth 80 million. Couldn't they keep their 20% and sell it if he was sold for massive money in a few years?

    I think the best one was in the first half when he showed for a throw, saw the defender closing him down, flicked it over his head and had a shot.

    Glorious stuff

    He owns the 20% of his economic rights (through a company from what I read) so 20% of the fee will go to him now, and 30% in August. From what I have read the company needs the money/wants the money so they are pushing for the sale. He is on 9k a week wages also and has asked for a pay rise (again, just from reports I have read) which has been refused, another reason they want the sale.

    I think the Premier League did away with allowing third party ownership also so United would need to own 100% of his economic rights to register him?
