I reckon Moyes will take over at Celtic, said it the day he was sacked.

Just saw this quoted aswell. That Bayern have ceased negotiations with Kroos.

Holy...****ing...****...

Looking very likely now and it would be a good call on your part.

Had BBC One on first thing this morning and I was just checking the football gossip on their text page. They were talking as if United have already signed Kroos and yet we see no proof. All very frustrating.

No bull**** from Scholesy as usual. Finally someone outside an internet message board acknowledges Rooney has been in decline for the last 2 years and Ed Woodward is lucky to still be in a job.

4/1 with Paddy Power, they have Larsson as the favourite.

TheDoc

Went with Mackay myself at 8/1.

Moyes is a better level then Scotland.

Makes sense for him. He is guaranteed to win trophies there and hopefully qualify for the Champions League group stages. It would begin to close some gaps in his CV.

I still think he is a good manager, but United was not the job for him.

he also says moyes should have got more time.

If Moyes brings Celtic from 1st down to 7th in the SPL, I think he truly will lose all credibility as a manager.... :rolleyes:

I'm not sure how good a move that would be for him tbh. I know it's only Celtic but there are still grand expectations at Celtic. They expect a league title and a domestic cup every year. I reckon his best bet would be Newcastle. Few expectations and he's already proven himself at Everton, nearly an identical club.

Worth keeping in mind regarding the reliability of transfer sources

The day West Brom gave Mel the booth, I immediately thought Moyes would be a fit for them, they've always struck me as a club with potential to pitch themselves a fair bit higher than 16th or 17th.

I think Moyes is cute enough to wait for a good spot, he played a blinder with that rolling contract he had at Everton.

Best of luck to him, I think he'll do fantastic wherever he goes.

Lennon is an interesting one, I've often thought he's more about him than just coasting through life at Celtic, he definitely has an aura....clever from him too to get out before Rangers come back, leaving his rep sky high.

They just publish whats in the rags when they are reporting gossip.

If they say something about it themselves, thats the time to take it seriously.

Pure tripe I would say.

ESPN quote and yet the above article totally contradicts the below.

"Bayern Munich president Karl Hopfner says the club will not make Toni Kroos a new contract offer."

Van Gaal OUT.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/22/louis-van-gaal-ends-manchester-united-interest-toni-kroos-bayern-munich

Louis van Gaal has ended Manchester United’s interest in Toni Kroos, in what represents the new manager’s first major decision regarding the rebuilding of his squad this summer.

Hope it is Charlie from the Mail that is right and no Jackson.... please please please.

RobertKK

United have agreed a £20 million deal with Bayern Munich to not sign Toni Kroos.

News from the last 24 hours :pac:

Will get a decent wage and finally should be able to say he won something of merit. Good place to restart without the huge English media spotlight too

Is there any substance to their claim? They seem to be just blurting it out without anything to back it up. No source, no inkling to where they got the information from.

I`d say it BS. They made it up. 50 % chance they will be right. He either will or wont sign.

My excitement for next season has died with talk of Kroos not coming. It will be built back up, but feck... thought Kroos was coming. Gutted.

Without wanting to ruin anyone's chips, led to believe that while Kroos was on the old list he does not feature on the new one. #mufc

That would be an almighty kick in the balls if this was true.

This is appropriate right now.

You will all be sucked in again in a few days time when there's another name floated out to sell stories :pac:

TheDoc

I'd be wanting a serious explanation for stopping the pursuit of Kroos to be fair...and would expect a ****ing serious signing instead.

Not fully believing it. Bayern have confirmed they arnt improving their offer. The indication from his agent was that without an improved offer Kroos would be forced to look elsewhere.

Vic Vinegar

Feck it... if we want him, cool, if not, i'm sure the Iron Tulip has someone equally exciting in mind for midfield.

What was the source for the claim that he would be signed? Are you just discounting the Guardian because they're not telling you what you want to hear?

Blatter

The journo I trust the most (Daniel Taylor) is fairly adamant that United's top target is Fabregas, who seems very gettable this Summer (although Arsenal could prove to be a problem there)

If the Guardian report on LVG decinding against pursuing Kroos is true, that could be a factor. He also may not be a fan of Kroos' attitude, although that's pure speculation on my part.

NTMK

James Ducker (One of the reliable journos)retweeted the guardian link and confirmed its genuine

One second I'm hugely confused...didn't Bangkok say he was signing? I don't know who to believe anymore.

Will I Amnt

Worst thing is, you just know City are going to swoop in now if he is available.

Mikeyt086

Once again its:

-Article saying Kroos will sign, but not much in the article = Bull****. Don't get your hopes up.

-Article saying Kroos won't sign, but not much in the article = True. I'm off to drown my sorrows in Ben & Jerrys. Van Gaal Out. We're going to be relegated.

Don't forget the day after we apparently bid £27m for Luke Shaw, Jamie Jackson said Southampton had rejected the offer. Nobody else did. Seems the same here to me, couple of places say we are on the verge of Kroos, Jackson says no. The first one wasn't true, and after reading the article I have a hard time believing the second one is true. So Van Gaal just doesn't want Toni Kroos?

No I`m discounting it because there are no quotes to back it up or sources or where they are pulling the story from.

Still doesnt mean I believe that Kroos is signed. Just means I dont currently believe that Van Gaal doesnt want him.
