I actually have big shoulders, just so happens I've a bigger belly to go with it.

Can't even use the rubbish excuse that I "just love gargle"

We're going to get a megadeal from one of them. If Nike do decide to opt out, I really hope Adidas come on board. The thought of Warrior designing our kit is horrific.

Those three stripes automatically make a jersey look good.

Steve Bruce has really bulked up the wrong way, a better diet and more running after his players needed...

An article comparing Daley Blind and Ricardo Rodriguez...ok the article is about either player going to Liverpool but the stats are just as relevant.

  Reports in Italy are claiming that there could be news on the future of Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra today. Juventus are reportedly ready to pay €2million (£1.6m) for Evra, who signed a new one-year contract at the end of last season, but faces a battle to be United's first-choice left-back this season following the signing of Luke Shaw from Southampton.

Any noise from a reliable source?

christ if we signed Vidal, Di Maria and Hummels (these are the most frequent and common links at present) and maybe throw in Blind and de Vrij/Janmaat (lets be honest LVG will want some dutch players) our spend in the last 12 months would be close to £250m
doubt anyone could complain about purse strings etc then
and whilst i'd say thats a lot of quality spenidng we need to offset some of that with outgoings to reduce the wage bill and net spend.
if those players came in i'd happily say bye bye to
Chicharito (can't see him fitting LVG's game)
Cleverly
Young
Nani
Anderson
Evra
Fellaini
Young

the outgoings will be when the fun times begin..

FutureGuy

Since I cannot write anything positive about someone coming to the club without getting killed for my optimism, I will not make any such statement about my feeling regarding new signings, or how I think we are going to get 2-3 more top quality players.

Instead, I will just post this here...

Sport Witness ‏@Sport_Witness 1h There has been no report in Spain that Madrid have accepted Manchester United Di Mariabid. Eurosport got it very wrong indeed.


Graham Hunter has said di Maria could move to United.

Scholes talking about LvG on PP blog. http://blog.paddypower.com/2014/07/08/paul-scholes-exclusive-louis-van-gaal-seems-to-have-the-midas-touch/

Right now, Manchester United fans (and myself) cannot wait for Louis van Gaal to get the job started at Old Trafford. I’m sure he’s aware of the challenge ahead after United finished seventh last year in the Premier League.

It’s not a vintage Holland team he’s managing and van Gaal has got them to the brink of a World Cup Final. He’s going to have to perform a similar operation at United after a shocking season in 2013/2014. Van Gaal seems to have the Midas touch, and with his coaching reputation and vast experience he can bring a lot to the club. He’ll improve last year’s performance by 20/25 per cent, I feel.

As well as the new signings, Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera, (and hopefully more to come) he’ll bring more out of the players who are already there. I’m actually really excited about next season.

Van Gaal is not afraid of big decisions, which he showed by bringing on the Newcastle keeper Tim Krul for the Dutch No1 Jasper Cillessen for the penalty shootout against Costa Rica. Krul had only saved two out of last 20 penalties with Newcastle. The evidence did not seem to be there for that big a decision. But whatever Louis van Gaal does, seems to work.

He substituted his captain, Robin van Persie, when Holland were 1-0 down to Mexico, and they came back to win. He seems to have a bit of genius about him, and hopefully can work this magic on United next year.

My excitement is growing by the day for the new season.

Great quote:

"After his antics at the World Cup, Louis van Gaal is already feared, admired and resented in equal measure by every football fan in England. Like an (sic) Manchester United manager should be."

Follow up to my earlier post,

#MUFC are believed to be holding out for around £10m for Cleverley. #EFC Prefer a 1-year loan with option to make permanent next summer.

They fucking owe us double over the disaster of the Fellaini signing.

Send him off to Everton for the year then!

How about £5 million but they have to take Fellaini back too?

Crimson King

He is English and at 24 is young enough to be sold on if he is a hit. Somehow this is a factor.

Personally I think £6M and I'd snap their fcuking hands off.

user2011

Nice to see the United tax being worked the other way round.

Nope. He's English and came through the academy he's worth more to us than £6M.

£35m they can take young Young, Cleverly and that sideshow of a player they sold us last summer

Fellaini would do a job for Everton. It's a team without a second striker and Kone missed the majority of the last season injured.

Everton fans might scoff at the idea of buying him back, but playing him further forward like Belgium do, and like Moyes did at Everton, could do them wonders.

Rayne Wooney

10 million is a bit ambitious, we should enquire if Arsenal still have the £1 laying around from the Suarez bid.

Ye if you think McCarthy is worth about 30 million but in reality no.

And they've no Lukaku to bang the goals in this year or Deloufeu to provide assists
baines ain't getting any younger either..

as for someone suggesting mCCarthy for Cleverly...no thanks

But he's a better player than both and surely that is what matters? Why do fans get so uptight over the cost of a player? It's not your money. Surely you just want the best players available? Let the club worry about "value".

Herrera costing 5 million or 50 million doesn't change how good he is, or how much United needed a midfielder. You aren't a financial advisor, you are a fan.

Because for the same amount of money you could get a much better player.
