do ye think its possible that LVG is not aware of anything happening (apart from the media talk) and while we all think/expect him to walk away in summer peacefully or amicably, as far is he is concerned his job is safe until the end of his contract?

He just seems too smug in the press conference recently too even have a hint that he is gone in summer. It's like Ed has been saying to him I can 100% guarantee that you will be here next year I pinky promise.

It's possible. Maybe he's just so confident he thinks he is there until he decides himself he is gone

They are just letting LvG see out the season, Shirley?

No.

If anything is happening I think LVG would be aware, because he isn't an idiot.

Personally, no. He would know, but he won't public ally come out and go "yeah,I'm getting the sack soon". May even believe he still has time to change minds, but I think the reason he constantly pulls the "family" card and tries to guilt the journalists into stopping the story is cause he knows he can't use his results to shut them up. He knows he is struggling and that will cause the change...even the way he closed up shop against Chelsea. He acts like a manager hanging on a string.

I know its on everyone's list for Leicester to win it, but if they manage to do it then they are a real threat in the future. No more nicey nicey neutral from me, Il be treating them as tital rivals in same sense that Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Spurs are.
The bitter rivals spot is taken with Liverpool of course but there not a threat

Oh btw, Just in case you haven't already been informed, its a positivty tractor now

Adam Johnson is not going to sign for United, if he was it wouldn't be because Keane and Young are there. You can laugh at the absurdity of that situation and still be disgusted by what he did.

Much like any academy (apart from Barcelona it would appear) it is difficult to produce players that are capable of starting and winning champions league finals, which is the goal for each of these clubs. The odds of doing it are small.

However, looking at the respective quality of the academies when they play against each other I see a clear gap between United and City/Chelsea - they are bigger, stronger, faster and better. In both academies there are two or three players that could make the grade, but they may fall by teh wayside like Morrison did at United, or never progress from very promising like Jones, Tunnicliffe, Petriucci - or 'just' become good level PL players (or similar) such as possible PL winners Danny Drinkwater, Danny Simpson or Matt James (if he wasn't injured).

They haven't produced a world class (or top class) player YET, but imo it takes years of structural, cultural changes to show benefits in this area - the chelsea and city academies are now the best in the country and city's is possibly being on the way to be the best in the world. Will they produce a top talent, impossible to say, but there is a better chance there than most places.

As an aside - there are some very tasty looking players at United; Gribbon, Menseh and Tuanzebe being the standouts imo; they could be very good players.

There are talented players at United, I'm not arguing against that - but as a group in terms of overall quality and indeed quantity, there are question marks over the U18s group and below.

This is spot on. The thing about the lack of investment in our underage isn't the here and now, it's about putting ourselves in the position that we don't miss out on these players and that we also coach them to the best of the clubs abilities. Having part-time coaches and underage sides getting beaten well by sides isn't going to attract the best young players in the area. When we have the money to do it then it's no excuse when in 5 or 10 years time a top player comes through the academy at Chelsea or City that we were looking to get in and we're saying we could have done more to have him with us. You have to at least put yourself in the position to do more.

Fair enough we've had Borthwick-Jackson and the likes come through but that's largely due to getting a chance through injuries and moreover a testament to the coaches that are there at underage presently that have them well coached by the time they're at senior level. But rather than rest on it we should be asking what could we achieve if we had even more investment in it?

It's kind of ironic that Van Gaal is telling Scholes to be more positive when Van Gaal being negative is what Scholes had a problem with

Scholes' problem is that he's a mopey arse.

Still using the injury excuse when it was clear to most people in August/September that the squad was too bare and would not be able to manage when the inevitable injuries came along.

Ah ok then I'll sort out my tractor licence :pac:

Yeah I agree about Leicester but they won't be as potent when Jihad Mahrez is terrorizing defences for United under Mourinho

yermandan speaks, well I never...
Congrats on the engagement dude, welcome to the life of United being second in your life (at least around your better half) to weekends doing up the house, making babies, shopping and all that fun stuff.

So anyways Sunderland this week, please god let us have another early goal and take it from there. Once we get an early goal we seem to relax and play with more freedom. We really should be putting Sunderland to the sword. Big sam has an awful record v United so lets get at them early get a goal and put it to bed before half time.

Quiet day on the jose front

care to elaborate on this or what have you against Scholes?

or ill put it to you another way, what has he said in the last 6 months that isnt factual or the opinion of alot of people?

he is only saying what other pundits, journalists and fans are saying all the time, his opinion just takes more weight seen as he is one of the clubs best ever players.

I did like the way he said Rooney was finished, then said h was awesome but LVGs style is rubbish and gets nothing from him.

bangkok

scholes is a United legend, was a dream player to manage, was a world class midfielder that was criminally under rated and now he is finished playing football and actually speaks the truth, some people turn against him.....

everything he said was spot on

StringerBell

Even when he contradicted himself? Its pretty impossible for him to be spot on that Rooney was finished, while also being spot on that Rooney was world class.
