He has been outstanding! He has been good for Villa but never this good. Players playing for their country at a world cup just up their game to a different level. One of the reasons you don't sign a player based on a world cup alone!

Just goes to show how much difference a great manager makes! Seriously though, penalty miss aside he has been superb. In the last year of his contract with Villa means he could be brought in at a good price to play for his international manager. Makes sense.

Van Gaal free a day early to plot our way back to winning league titles... god it feels like 24 years since we've last won one.

Oh I forgot. They still have to play the most pointless match in football.

I know he was quoted saying he wants to skip a break and come straight back to Utd, but I hope RvP is ordered to take a long holiday. Looks shattered and last thing we need is another preventable injury lay off for him.

Agreed. He's been v poor in the knockout stages.

He's not going on the tour. Meeting up with squad in August.

Lads the 3rd place match will be brilliant as always cause the Apres Match lads are hosting it.

I really don't agree. He is not cut out for a top team. Very good tonight in a very cagey game but not United standard. Being honest the back three thing suits three average mobile CBs. It might work for us next season but if we are gonna invest in a CB there are better options than Vlaar

kinda glad Holland are out. I think Germans would tank them.

Cant wait for Sunday, beers, hurling, more beer, WC final, off monday.

£37.5 million is the asking price for Vidal,up to the clubs to trash out a deal...Various sources.

It's a done deal lads... credible source :rolleyes:

Give them £50 million, as a gesture of goodwill.

Vlaar was very good before the Villa move too. Baffling decision to have him go first though with Kuyt and Robben in reserve.

Rayne Wooney

Others were asked before Vlaar but refused so he had to take it

@SkySportsNews

Well, seems Evra to Juventus is done:

“@SkySportsNews We understand Patrice Evra will join Juventus today - all the latest transfer lines on #SSN throughout the morning”

Over the past while he's faded but with that being said, he's been a great servant to the club and I'll wish him well.

Actually, he was a legend..

KH25

Good time for Evra to go. He's been on the wane for a few years now. Great servant to the club though and a funny man altogether. I wish him well at Juve.

Anybody else reckon we will go in for Blind now as LB cover?

I was sitting very near him when that picture was taken . I ve rarely seen a crowd baying for blood as they did after that game.

Technophobe

If true about Evra, its a sad day... Club hero and a very good servant to us

Liam McPoyle

Evra was an excellent servant to the team and although he lost the run of himself over the last couple of seasons, everything bad he ever did is negated because he did this.




Thanks for the memories Pat.

Giggsy11

Times reporting bid for Ricardo Rodriguez if Evra leaves. That's weird as he is not a back up player and had excellent year. He won't be signing to sit on the bench and we didn't pay 27 Million for Shaw to make him on the bench either.

redbaron_99

Seems Suarez is going for £75 Million. A bit of a windfall for Liverpool.

But was just thinking, if United sign the kit deal with Adidas for the rumored amount, it would be like selling a Suarez each year, for the next ten years.

Farewell to Evra,gave many a cross for a goal,can't see Blind signing,after WC he is clearly one of best young left backs on World,he would demand first team football if he were to move to any club.

Really? He had two good games in the groups, and has looked distinctively average since then. Thought he was terrible last night.

Shame to see Evra going, great character and a great player.

He normally plays midfield. He was awarded the best midfielder in Holland last season. He's good at covering LB but he's hardly the best in the world.

Spazdarn

Blind did well this world cup, think it's a bit early to be claiming he's one of the best in the world..

Apparently 2 players where asked to take first penalty and refused.

Haha, look at the comments on it. There's some lad giving RVP stick for not taking a penalty... even though he was subbed off well before they took place. :rolleyes:

KombuchaMshroom

If Evra is to go it might give those Vermaelen rumours a bit more creditability, kinda killing 2 birds with one stone getting in a CB who can also play LB.
Don't think it would be the worse idea as it would still give the young defenders a chance to establish themselves and develop, and wouldn't cost a fortune so we'd be saving money to go after Vidal and the likes

Yeah that would be ideal, Vermaelen is actually better than most of our CB options at the moment too

Maximus Alexander

There's a lot of negativity about Vermaelen in here, I always thought he was a fairly handy CB. Maybe I need my eyes checked.

MagicIRL

If I'm right, he was pretty beasty in the 11/12 or 12/13 season, but got injured and missed most of 13/14 because he regained fitness just as the Arsenal back two began to settle in.

If he's cheap, he should be bought. Gives options at CB with Premier League experience, which aside from Evans, we don't really have in Jones/Smalling as neither have had a decent run in the position.

super hands

First time poster here, been checking out the page a long time tho. I was sad to see Holland go out last night even though I have Argentina in a bet with friends! Have to say have been very impressed with lvg and what he has achieved with a pretty average Dutch team by their standards. I'm very interested to see what he does with us in the new season and who he brings in. Wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of the young Dutch lads come with him
