Manchester United Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - 2013/14

Rayne Wooney

Opta have a list and it says Mata is 3rd for most assists per game in premier league history.

Nani is 7th :eek:

irishfeen

De Gea; Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Jones, Giggs, Young; Mata, van Persie

Valanica....

Young....

Giggs and Jones midfield...

Lord TSC

Jesus, Mata setting up RVP

Even Moyes can't muck this up...

J. Marston

That midfield, I think I just threw up a little.

MagicMarker

It's Moyes plan for us to concede and then he'll bring on Rooney and Januzaj, I can't think of any other reason for that midfield.

keano2012

i saw rvp and mata in the lineup...started to get a bit giddy...assumed janazaj would start....then i go and see a mf like that...take out young and stick janazaj in gwan will u moyes.

jonnyfingers

Ah don't worry lads, Moyes is just easing us in to this new phase! I'm confident the 442 will gradually disappear.

As long as that midfield can get the ball to Mata we'll be grand.

shadowcomplex

are there highlights on anywhere later?

Moyes runs his mouth about players coming in and in the position we are weakest in, Giggs, lol.


Should still have enough, seems strange starting rvp who's been the longer of the 2 out

Pudsy33

I really thought the signing of Mata would mark a move away from 4-4-2. 4-4-1-1 wasn't really what I had in mind!

I'd use a lot stronger language than that.

Saucy McKetchup

Mutv showing it as a 4-2-3-1, can't see how with 2 wingers, we'll know with the substitutions he makes

Nolars

Midfield is horrible how are we gonna get the ball to mata

Wtf. I cant believe the midfield either. Giggs ffs . Moyes u baffle me once again.

Pudsy33

In fairness, it could be Jones and Giggs sitting deep, with the three lads in behind RVP. I would think Kagawa and Jan would be better suited to those roles but we'll see what transpires.

Thought tonight was set up perfectly for

Raf, smalling, Evans, evra,
Fletcher Jones
Kag Mata Adnan
Rvp

Mata to the right Rooney central if Rooney could have played

Giggs and jones centre midfield. Horrible.

Yeah fcuking hell its terrible..

De Gea

Rafael Smalling Evans Evra

Valencia Jones Giggs Young :mad:

Mata

Van Persie

KombuchaMshroom

The excitement of rvp and mata starting instantly vanishes after seeing that midfield, probably the worst midfield 4 combo we have at the club, cleverley being the only player missing maybe in with a claim

keano2012

cardiff bottom of the table, united at home, new signing of mata, upbeat crwod because of the new signing, surely tonight was the time to go all out and attack cardiff ruthlessly. with that mf we are giving them a chance.

Rayne Wooney

Until we get a better midfielder and fullbacks or they hit serious form we won't see 4231, Moyes going with Valencia and Young who will get up and down the line and cover our fullbacks and help the midfield

I'm not surprised, expected in really

billyhead

Mata is starting folks:P

Saucy McKetchup

Giggs to put in a man of the match performance and score to keep his record going

castletownman

New player. Same old questionable team selection!

adox

That midfield selection is shoite, even for Moyes.

A CB and a 40 year old winger in the centre and our two worst wide players.

Looking forward to seeing Mata and RVP app together but fear they will be starved of possession.

Vic Vinegar

Bayern Munich won't give Kroos €10m a year, BILD understand Manchester United are willing to offer Kroos the wages he wants.

Hmm.

Anyway, so weird seeing Mata down on betting sites for United. A quid on Mata 2 or more

10m euro would be about 8.2m sterling which is only about 160k a week. Not exactly unheard of.

Just under 200,000 a week bout normal most top players are getting. But we both know.....

We aren't signing Toni Kroos

Rooney will be getting almost double that

Kroos is a phenomenal player, really top top drawer

We're already giving Ashley Young half that amount.

£200k per week for a player who would be almost perfect for us? I'll take that!

shadowcomplex

would kroos be a better signing than Vidal?

The money these players get each week is getting out of hand. How much does Ronaldo get now after his recent contract?

Professional Griefer

Nope, but I don't we could sign a better cm than Vidal.

Can't see Nike not matching whatever is offered tbh.

Professional Griefer

I'd love to see Adidas get it, they make some great kits.

I agree, if that figure is true. But the truth is we won't know what the wage will really be. A poster a while back (DM-ICE I think) showed a few of the quotes about Rooney's last deal from the Guardian, they were all sorts of contradictory. I also remember Young, Cleverley and Welbeck's wages being discussed a while ago, again there were contradictory figures being bandied about the 'net.

It seems now to me that there is lot's of speculation about individual player's wages, but rarely solid evidence.

Also, welcome to the forum.
