Chemistry.

The scores are what the players scored out of 100 on a chemistry spot-quiz.

Why is Rooney a ginger in your signature?

hahahaha "Doing a bang wildman" has to be the new ITK phrase. That is quality!

Vidal's been spotted in Tesco on Parnell St in advance of a shocking and complex move to Bohemians which will see him immediately loaned out to Man Utd in exchange for Giggs as coach, with Boh's contributing half his wages and €500 for every time he's caught offside or makes an pass to a player offside, on the condition that he plays in his Boh's kit. Confirmed via Facebook status update by his agent's cousin.

It's as good as done.

Vidal is the type of player that seems to get better the less he plays or we see of him......

You could say the same about several of our current players too

Looks like Zaha is going back to Palace on load, with an option to buy.

Be hard to see him play when there's no games on.

Top quality player

If Vidal signs, Adox is off for a month. If Di Maria signs, Kew is changing his name, right?

Remember what happens if he doesn't sign?

I said if we get Di Maria and Kheirda but because I'm nice guy I added Vidal.

Think its fair to say the Zaha transfer was a failure then

I assume it was his attitude. I firmly believe Moyes would have given him a chance at some stage last year and LVG this year if he had the right attitude. The potential is there alright.

Last nights result was hugely embarrassing for the club whatever way you look at it. It's also a wasted opportunity to give the fringe players a run of games and bed them in to the system Van Gaal is trying to adopt.

Our squad depth was badly shown up. After losing Rio and Vidic, getting a central defender should have been a key priority.

Did the Vermaelen deal fall through because we wouldn't offer Welbeck as part of the deal? That looks to be a poor oversight now.

No. Smalling.

Smalling and Wenger wasn't keen on having him move to another premiership team.

RobertKK

But they would have done a deal for Welbeck now, given Giroud is broken...

moot point seeing as Vermaelen is in Barca

I think so, even though they aren't admitting the seriousness of his injury.

Sounds like Andy Mitten on Off the Ball.

redbaron_99

I'm dying to see Di Maria playing for us, but even with him I think we will really struggle against Burnley.

Cleverley and fletcher is one of the worst midfield pairings in the PL, and genuinely feel we will lose the midfield battle.

And that usually goes hand in hand with dropping points.

Any word on rafeals fitness?
Any word on Rojo work permit?
Really don't want to see Valencia and young at wing back again this weekend.

magnumbud

Looks like 2 debuts Saturday so you'd presume. I can hear the chants of Argentina already

Di Maria will be midfield with Fletcher, need to drop Cleverley, he just depresses me and the team too.

Di Maria in a midfield two would be simply bizarre. Cannot see that happening.

You are right and I didn't mean that, but that is how it came across.

Di Maria, Fletcher plus someone else, but not TC23.

Honestly I lose confidence when I see Cleverley, he needs to be vanished and banished.

did i read that somewhere this morning??

Does anyone actually think we will sign Vidal before the end of the window? Jaysus if we got him on top of Di Maria I would cream my pants

Don't think there's anyone else suitable.

Rooney should be do well in midfield, but doesn't.
Jones can do a job there, but is needed more than ever at centre back.
Anderson is poison.

Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini all injured.

On MUTV's United in Press, they believed it was possible.

It is just that knee, and they don't want to pay huge in case of a Hargreaves again.

They believe Strootman will be the main target in January, once he has proved his knee is fine.

adox

All so to Munich being reported!


Another one to scratch off the list if true.

Strange one if it is.

The story won't go away.
Vidal hasn't come out and clarified his future.
We HAVE to be in for another midfielder - the situation is dire. Cannot accept we are not trying our hardest to sign one. But there are literally no links, no whispers of us linked to another midfielder.

This makes me believe we're trying to sign Vidal.

Yes, that really spells it out, I would play Jones if we have enough defense, and we don't.

Yeah, the injury to Smalling rules it out.

If I was Sean Dyche I would be packing the midfield against us on Saturday. Three players in the central area and press Fletch and TC23 as high up the pitch as possible.

To think we once had players Robson, Keane, Ince, Butt, Scholes at the club within a couple of years of one another. All absolute warriors, and top footballers.

Vidal easily the worse transfer saga ever.
