It seems that he will be De Gea’s replacement. I was not overly impressed by him at the World Cup.

How good of a goalie is he ?

Isn't El Confidential Spanish? Until I've seen some Dutch soruces go with it I'm calling BS.

If Van Gaal really only sees ADM as a winger and he is leaving then replacing him with Depay and Pedro would be a good solution.

Crazy to see so many changes in a short space of time

He was born in a city founded by Romans, might be wise to wait for the Gazetta too

What i don't get is, why are the Spanish media breaking the transfer of a Dutch player to an English team..

Ive watched a lot of Ajax this year and I personally rate him as a good Keeper anyways, probably on the tier below DeGea and I think he will prove a lot of the doubters wrong if he moves

Can't see a goalie being announced without De Geas deal been done and dusted. It will be all choreographed perfectly.

How underwhelming it will be if he is De Geas replacement.

Cillesen has really played feck all games for a 26 year old. Only around 100 league games so far. Was he injured for a while or late bloomer? Only ever seen him a handful of times so no clue how good he may be.

It will only be underwhelming if we don't get Ramos

I'm talking specifically about the goalkeeping position. He would be an underwhelming replacement for De Gea as I stated. Don't know what Ramos has to do with it.

Pretty much a late bloomer, only really came into the first team during 2013 season when he was 23/24 , Vermeer was the keeper at the time and he had a bad run of games and DeBoer brought Cillessen into the team and he has been a mainstay ever since. Broke into the Dutch team fully around that time too.

He's a good keeper. I think with a good defence he won't be as busy as De Gea so I wouldn't be worried about him and I don't think De Gea will be missed. It has everything to do with Ramos.

You're playing too much FIFA.:D Nearly everyone i play against these days pick BVB cause of him. No chance in catching him if he gets a yard on ya (in Fifa and in real life)

Not if we sign Otamendi

We should be signing him to but obviously that's separate from the De Gea deal. Could be exciting to finally have a defence without Valencia, Smalling and Jones

My point has nothing to do with Ramos or any other defender.

What keeper would you buy? De Gea was superman for the last two years and we achieved nothing. I don't think the team will suffer with his replacement

If i had a choice, it would be Lloris over Cillessen, though i do believe that Cillessen would push on and be an important member of the team if he was signed. The only reason i would take Lloris over him atm is because of his experience in the league.

There is also a serious lack of top Goalkeeping talents that would be available.

The likes of Oblak and handanovic would be next on the list, though i couldn't see us going for Oblak as we would have to pay his release clause of 45m and he is pretty inexperienced. Handanovic imo would not suited to the PL or LVG play from the back style and he is 31 now so that could go against him

That was my first choice but Levy would embarrass Woodward and we would have no money left to buy other players.

Bayern involved maybe....

Rayne Wooney

If the majority of the players in the first 11 are new then are we not back to square 1 regarding the philosophy and players needing time to learn it?

Makes all of last season learning process pretty much redundant

If De Gea and Di Maria are going and Ramos, Cillisen and Pedro come in that's 3 starters to add to Schneiderlin, Depay and most likely Darmian

Tugboats

Has Moyes any money to spend this summer? Any chance he would come in for januzaj or Fellaini?

Well last season no one in the club knew so we have loads that should now.

Way busier preseason compared to this year.

World Cup didnt help.

And looking like very few injuries so far.

So we are a long way from starting all over again but its hardly Ideal plus 2 of the new players have worked under LVG too so its not completely new to them either

Some here want Adnan to go on loan that could be an option. Moyes gave him a decent chance.

Nothing to do with labelling him as a player, he was more naturally gifted than any of the players you mentioned

Rooney naturally more gifted than Scholes, Gaza and Hoddle???. You are having a laugh. He wouldn't lace their boots when it comes to natural ability

The club should be applauded for backing the manager with huge funds and bringing in loads of players so long may it continue as we urgently need more. Unfortunately the majority of last season signings have been poor so far . I don't know if that is due to needing time to learn the philosophy, unlucky with injuries or the manager is buying badly. Id rather take the chance of going back to square 1 than have a team full of medicore players

I haven't broken any rules here. I'm a Man Utd fan who wants the club to do well. In my opinion Rooney, Jones, Smalling and Evans aren't good enough.I'm generally happy with the rest of the team. I don't think those opinions are against the rules
