Stop making up nonsense, if a United fan posted what you did they would have got the same reaction.

But how could we have been planning for life under LVG for that time given that up until two months ago, we didn't even know he'd be our manager next season? By some accounts, some deals were lined up and then when LVG took over, they were cancelled cause he has his own targets.

So do you think we should have said "Nah, Moyes had these targets and they are who you are getting"? Do you think LVG shouldn't be the one making the decisions with regards transfers?

As soon as Moyes went, so to did the notion of getting deals done quickly. And again I say, there's no bonus points for speed; better to let the manager actually work out the targets he wants than to thrust them upon him, especially given LVG's history.

If LVG is so concerned about us buying players before he gets here then perhaps he shouldn't have waited for weeks before confirming he was coming.

Regardless, I don't think the appointment of a new manager should automatically reset everything that is happening at the club back to zero. Its actually kinda ludicrous to think that although a club needs serious work it all has to start from scratch if there is a change of manager, only in football would you see something like that.

Cancelling all transfers is fine if the squad just needs minor adjustments, the new manager can target the one or two players he needs to fine tune things. But when the squad needs serious surgery then the new manager simply has to be realistic about things, the club needs to get **** done and he will have to deal with that.


This is all a moot point anyway, as I don't think LVG has cancelled any "done deals". I think they weren't done in the first place.

Everyone in this thread who wants to buy enough players to win everything next year needs to consider that the Czar of Alkmaar might have different priorities.

M.E.N are saying we've made enquiries for Banega, have possibly lodged a bid for Arda Turan and are monitoring Adrien Rabot (19), a midfielder from PSG.

Maybe start a specific thread for it if that's alright with mods???
Might be a bit unfair on those that aren't in it having to read through it all here, plus we could chat about our chances of winning and slag off whoever gets the crap teams :pac:

I'd believe interest in Turan, would be doubtful on Banega and I'd say Raibot is purely agent driven speculation; Arsenal being spoken of as well but I reckon as one of few talented home grown players at PSG he will stay with a nice big contract to be signed.

umm.. i was thinking that.. but since it's already full it's not fair on all the other soccer users ... I could keep the updates to once / twice a day.. but I'll leave it up to the mods and the majority

How is it not fair on the other users?

I'd just create a separate thread for it, much handier that way.

Pretty good community of fans here in this thread. Personally I stay away from the general forum, cant stand the opinions from a lot of people in there.

As someone not partaking, can't say I'd mind, be a bit of craic to breakup the rumourmill.

And like I said, I treat this like a little community of like minded fans, I don't think I ever get the hump when it goes off-topic, except if its stuff from liverpool fans

It would be a "Man United Fans Sweep" thread, other teams fans could have their own, I doubt anybody would be bothered messing it up, it would be only posters here involved.

No need whatsoever for another thread. There are a few posts now sorting it out, then there will be probably be random posts at the time of the games concerning those involved, it won't exactly shut the whole thread down.

No problem with it being in here maybe just don't quote the long posts everytime would be my suggestion.

I'll keep the long posts to 1 or 2 a day.. I'll post a "Paid" update later this evening.

Maybe I am being pedantic re. the sweepstakes, but does first yellow make sense? It will essentially go to either Brasil or Croatia, since it is the first match.

That doesn't really matter though, does it? I mean realistically there are only 2 or 3 teams that can win it too, which is why teams are randomly drawn. It's a lottery for a bit of fun.

Mitch Connor

Off Topic: Ian Ladyman has shot down the Miranda link, not too surprised by that to be honest. Seemed to come out of nowhere, expect it was an agent trying to get more money from Atletico or Barca.

We add in a few different things so people with different teams have a chance to win.

While the 1st teams to play have a better chance to win something.. thats just the way it goes.

If everyone in the games would like to re-think the prizes please let me know.

First red or first penalty would give a better chance to people that don't have a team in the first day.

Thought it was such a left field target. He was excellent in the CL final, but at 29 I doubt United will spend money on anyone unless they have guaranteed star appeal. A relatively low profile Brazilian CB with 8 caps does not fit that bill for me.

Those two were part of his original list. the 5 were;

1st yellow
1st red
1st pen
1st og
worst goal diff in groups.

I'm not in the sweepstakes lads but "technically" shouldn't ye record the minute of the first yellow in the first group game games from EVERY GROUP then pay out going by the minute rather then the match as teams whos groups play first have a huge advantage?

Yeah drop the first yellow in favour of earliest yellow or most yellows in group stage or something I'd say, the rest them are good.
