I'd like a better backup goalkeeper signed. A lot of the other top teams have 2 good goalkeepers.
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man city
Barca
Real Madrid
Bayern

Even the papers haven't linked us with him all Summer, that's how not interested we are in him. Don't know why though, he'd be a drastic improvement on anything we have.

Januzaj got the ball one on one with Taylor a bunch of times, got around him once or twice and did nothing with it when there were players in great positions to score. I just don't understand the praise that gets put onto him, he has potential and some mouldable attributes but constantly makes the wrong decision and overruns the ball. People act like he's the 2nd coming of Ronaldo but I don't see it at all.

He didn't just get around a single opponent once or twice. He completely skinned his marker a good few times. He got fouled by the second man (after beating him too) a few times and won a few corners off them as well. The times when he wasn't fouled or winning a corner he put in a few poor crosses and shots.

The end product from him was weak, but we know he is capable of much better in that regard and it's normal to see that type of inconsistency from a young player. The ease with which he was beating players was extraordinary. I watched a lot of games this weekend and I didn't see anybody who was more impressive at it than Januzaj.

He was disastrous (again) when he came on on Saturday. Never going to be able to make it as a United player.

Not sure what game you were watching but Fellaini did alright when he came on. The mistake was taking Herrera off for him instead of fletcher.

Why not keep Fellaini and judge him at Xmas after he has gotten a fair chance in the team. It's not like we have an abundance of midfielders. After Carrick and Herrera, Fellaini would be our best midfielder.

What's the point in posting a quote from January before Moyes left?

Rojo will probably be LCB in a 352 and I could see him being LB in a 433 or 442 with Shaw being played on the Left Mid

Might as well hang on to Anderson too, he had a great game a few years ago maybe he'll come good under Van Gaal.:rolleyes:

Yeah, was thinking that myself. Shaw being considered as a LW option for when we play a back four would explain letting Nani leave now.

Bit of info on Rojo from Four Four Two

Lord TSC

Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac

"Two months ago Schalke received an official offer from the very successful English club Manchester United for me. This option is still open "Scouts were at a recent friendly match between Tottenham and Schalke in London. Believe me, I only heard about it after the completion of the match. "[Manchester United] is the world's top. Of course it would be great to play at Old Trafford. In football you never know - anything is possible. There's still time until the end of the transfer period and we'll see."

Anderson had years to prove himself in a stable team, he failed. Fellaini has had 1 season in which the club was all over the shop. I don't think he's much use but comparing them is silly.

Not really no, people have used that quote as though he was talking about an orgy of superstar signings which I found strange as it wasn't the impression I got from that interview at all.

Fellaini was a disgrace on Saturday. He deserves nothing other than to be cashiered out ASAP. I despise him as a player.

Sporting twitter mentioned something about 9m for Rojo I think?

Translation: The sale of Marcos Rojo for Man.Utd, 9M € will go to the construction of our Pavilion. #SportingCP

Best of luck to Nani. Never particularly liked him but he's better than what he's shown at utd in recent times. Hopefully he returns to that level.

Rojo is a very solid acquisition. Happy with that and hopefully 3 more names to come. It's a pity how things worked out with Nani but I think it's best for both parties that he moves on, good luck to him.

Larry Wildman

Guys, how good is Rojo.

I don't know as much about him as I should.

I think Nani's going to Sporting on a year long loan.

I'm guessing it means 9m of the fee will go into the development... Otherwise looks like a fantastic deal

Edit* €20m not bad

Lucas Hood

Sporting will only be getting 25% of the transfer fee right ?

Chagan

Hopefully the first of a flurry of arrivals.

I admit I know very little of him as a player but the sheer excitement he has shown online at joining the club has me liking him already.
