He said the other day that he doesn't know what's going on but he'd advise Kroos not to leave....

He's a bit sour!

Yeah he said Kroos would be more suited to Arsenal, Barcelona or Real Madrid. He said he only moved to United because he wanted a new challenge, and for Kroos it would be the money but that he has also been at Bayern for a long time.

I don't know how he thinks that Kroos would be better elsewhere, his passing ability is supreme, the best at Bayern last season, 92% for the season.

He would set up a lot of goals with his long pass accuracy.

Lord TSC

When everyone is running with a story, you get the most attention by going in the other direction. Fowler with LVG and Hargreaves with Kroos know this, and are getting the attention they wouldn't if they simply agreed and said it was a good fit.

NTMK

why do people listen to Hargreaves? he's an insanely bitter man that procedded to blame united for his injury troubles and claimed city had rehabilitated him, he played a total of 4 games for city

kryogen

Shame it went that way for Hargreaves, he could at least have been remembered fondly for his contributions in 07-08 if he had not spouted such ****e after he left

My lasting memory of him will be what he has said off the pitch then what he has done on it

The_Kew_Tour

He was super in 08 CL final. Fine Peno too.

That Free Kick against Arsenal that season was huge goal. He was very good that season.

Seeing him in flesh his positioning sense was super.

ElChe32

Cracking free kick that season v Arsenal too if I remember right?

Al Capwned

I was always a fan of his tbh. We would have been a lot stronger with a fit and on form Hargreaves and that's for sure...

But I have to agree that his comments after he left were bang out of order. I'm a bit "meh" about him now...

kryogen

It is that type of stuff I wish I thought of when he came to mind

That's how I would like to remember him by but his mouth is not letting this happen imo. But of the football he has played this would be the stand out for me.

The Arsenal free kick

The_Kew_Tour

The first time I saw him was at OT against Boro in a 4-1 win. Nani got a cracker.

His positioning and awareness was super. Always there to receive a pass but in the right position to find space or make a run.

Pity about injuries could have done with him in 2009.

kryogen

Super free kick, and Ando dancing and waving at Lehmann to put him off made it a truly memorable moment

Lehmann's little hissy fit immediately after being rooted to his little hate-filled spot is soooooo sweet in that clip...

ElChe32

Lehmann was a complete nutter

user2011

Only watched the 07/08 season review the other day.

Always thought Cole/Yorke where the best combo but Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez interchanging f**king hell amazing stuff from them and only for Portsmouth it was nearly sure to be another treble on the records for us, f**king c**ts seriously blessed they were that day.

It always depresses me to see this the quality of talent we had during that season, I know we have won the pl a number of times after that season but you knew when we had that team we struck fear into our opponents not now where opponents thought they had a chance

Happy Sunday, this makes me happy, All of Erics 82 goals for us

Reading on the United sub-reddit that Ogden and Ducker have both flown over to Amsterdam despite not reporting on the Holland vs Equador game. They are joined by other reporters who had nothing to do with it either. This, coupled with the fact the Dutch team have today and tomorrow off as a rest day, has people pondering if today could be the day.

The Dutch Goalkeeping coach has also apparently informed the Dutch FA he's off with LvG whenever he goes.

A lot of outlets reporting we've swiped Sagna from City. On a free, he'd be a good alternative to Rafael imo.

Antoine Griezmann has said he wants to play for a "big European side", putting us, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs on alert.

Mirror also saying Van Gaal wants either Vermaelen or Vertonghen.

glued

Vermaelen is a rubbish centre half. Wouldn't want him near our side

newballsplease

On this day 1997 Cantona announced he was to retire.

sigmundv

Hargo was a good player. If everything was normal he should still have played in midfield for us, but unfortunately he was already crocked when we bought him. I guess Fergie gambled and it almost paid off, but not quite. He had a good 2008, but otherwise he barely played.

Has the papers ran out of players for us to be linked with? Seems quiet the last few days.

or maybe they know the club only have a short list of about 5-8 top class players and theres no point making up stories?

Sagna is the first new "target" to appear in a while, all the others (Shaw, Kroos, Hummels etc etc) have been around for weeks now.

Plenty stories will be concocted, linking Utd to random players will get hits to websites and sell papers.
Whenever LVG is official, that's when transfer rumours will go into overdrive

Indeed. Right now the focus is on speculation about Van Gaal and Giggs and whatever, but as soon as that's done the transfer speculations will begin, linking us to every decent player under the sun, especially Dutch and German ones.

kryogen

Wouldn't mind Sagna coming in you know, would make Piers Morgan funny for a couple of days anyway with a twitter meltdown

Mitch Connor

Prefer Rafael to sagna myself.

Sagna would be a great addition to the squad but the wages would leave me to think he would be a replacement rather than competition.

The_Kew_Tour

right I did this last season where I did a list of all the players linked to us.

was about 20-30 players where we only got 1.

so far this season we have been linked to the following.

Kroos
Shaw
Reus
Vidal
Carvalho
Hummels?
Robben
Cavaini

right ye can throw up more and i will update later.

i will update it every week or 2.

GSPfan

Strootman

GSPfan

I would rule out Lallana now as a target as he seems to have shifted to Liverpool.

Crimson King

Sagna

Will I Amnt

Müller too. Might as well throw up the whole Bayern team to save yourself time in the future.

fitzer1982

You should do a running total on the value of the supposed targets, probably be over a billion by the end of the summer.

Load of crap I'd say. We never sell players to our domestic rivals.

Don't know ye seem to sell players to Everton regularly enough

I do believe the story is a load of crap though

With the exception of last season, they're not really rivals.

Haha, he's going to be brilliant, his Friday press conferences will be unmissable.

Maybe United need the money, and let's face it, Jones is not top drawer. A win, win situation.
