YoungDaNaval: Any News Abt Nani Leaving 4 Arsenal?

I'm not sure we will sell Nani to a direct rival.But you can never say never.

chrisley024: Klopp has said he's going nowhere. I think that sums it up

Indeed it does.

RuuDie: I think we should be questioning LVG more on the issue of transfers rather than trying to blame Woodward (or whatever his name is) because we do not know for certain what LVG is up to... has he (LVG) given the CEO any "wish-lists" of targets for acquisition or made any such mentions!?

You want to aportion blame for what we dont know about?

WoodHead!

Abi na night market we dey wait for!!!

MrTA:

StarBoard:
LvG can't sign someone if Ed Woodward doesn't appear willing to play the politics involved in signings.
The same Woodward who has gone silent on the transfers after promising that we should "watch this space"?

Not really...if LVG says "he is ok with the squad"; will the management still go ahead and buy or go into negotiations!?

The way things are now, its either LVG has settled on the above or all parties involved (LVG, Woodward & co) are just being incredibly tight-lipped about our transfer dealings.
All the abuse on Woodward is uncalled if we do not know for sure if some of these names being bandied around are even in MUFC agenda! By reputation, LVG is a "hard man" - if he is unhappy about the handling of transfers so far, I bet you we would have been hearing the rumblings on the horizon.

Anyway, lets wait and see... personally, I want two able, experienced defenders - in Smalling, Jones, Evans - I have absolutely no iota of confidence; especially with this "new" system.

RuuDie:

Help me clarify why there is rife speculation asking about LvG 6-7 players to go?
Did we suddenly become broke?

More like Woodward acting incredibly silly as usual.
He only knows how to get sponsorship deals. If OMO washing detergent is available he won't hesitate to snap it up as a sponsor.
He should learn from David Gill.

It wouldn't have been so if Woodhead didn't open his mouth and promise signings near world-record territory.
He said he was jetting back from the preseason tour. Wetin come happen?

I agree we need signings, especially at the back.
I don't expect LvG to think all is well. Which is why there is apprehension especially since the new season is about to kick off.

Everything still boils down to what LVG wants... and at this stage is there anybody who can categorically come out and say LVG wants! Woodward only wields the cheque-book and will only go to negotiating tables that he is sanctioned to go.

11 years ago to the day, Manchester
United pulled off arguably the best
signing of the Sir Alex Ferguson era at the club. On 12 August 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract and concluded a £12.2 million move from Sporting Lisbon.

I think Bild is pretty reliable on matters concerning German football.
Plus Klopp says he (Hummels) is not going anywhere.

RuuDie:

LvG will express interest if he perceives Woodhead will open the chequebook.
I do not believe LvG feels satisfied with the squad the way it is.

I think at this point it is right to re-evaluate our expectations for the upcoming season.

For me, getting into the Champions League will be ok, the way things are right now.

True or False??

JayKayMaybachz: True or False??

What's Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool doing in that pix?

Of course Woodward is partially responsible. This was the same guy who decided to stall on following up the work Gill had done and passed on to him, by not making early bids for Strootman, De Rossi, Cabaye, Thiago e.t.c. Instead he was wasting time chasing Fabregas while allowing our targets slip away. Fantasizing about gazumping Madrid's signing of Bale. Then stupidly assuming that United would be able to grab cheap alternatives late in the window, believing certain quality players would be become available late, chose to sit on his hands. Leading to the embarrassments of over paying for Fellaini, failing in desperate late bids/enquiries for Khedira, Herrera, Marchioso e.t.c.

I woudn't be surprised if he has told Van Gaal, that he believes we will be better able to get the players he wants late in the window and is deliberately taking his sweet time. Problems is Woodward is not anything like a Daniel Levy or Michel Aulas. I don't trust to him to not end up messing things up by trying to play too smart or bold.

Januzaj has taken the no.11 jersey.

Who gets the 9, 5, 7?

You follow van Persie go do holiday after world cup abi?

Yeah I agree with you.

Why peeps dey fear that no. 7 jersey sef?
Everybody dey play hot potato with am.

Mata declined it, Valencia couldn't live up to the expectation. Any signing just dey avoid that number.
Even Januzaj sef don stylishly collect no. 11.

Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo hands in a transfer request to join Man Utd.

You seriously believe that... the bolded there. You think any manager, especially one of LVG's stature, would accept that - given that it would be coming from a relative rookie in the business.

I still insist that if we are not doing any transfer dealings at the moment, it will be because LVG is not pushing (hard enough or at all) for it !

Juve demanding 48 million Iya Charlies + 2 UTD players (Chicharito + another) for Vidal...

Abeg, abeg, abeg... make we play with the team as e dey so. What rubbish

Thought he is a LB?

chrisley024: Thought he is a LB?

Yep. LB / LWB.

Pretty versatile chap.

RuuDie:


Yep. LB / LWB.

Pretty versatile chap.

He's a center back.

He only plays as a fullback for Argentina

RuuDie:

So we now take left over? Not a risky buy @£16m.

We should get Blind for our midfield temporary until we fix it, maybe by getting Strootman, if Vidal isn't going through.

It will be something of a miracle in my view if we get to sign the Vidal fellow.
As much as I value Hernandez dealing him in a swap is just disrespectful to someone of his abilities.
Add the 48 million and I really think they are overestimating our desperation. Vidal to me at this moment with his knee issues isn't worth 48 million anything alone to me.

Dude is decent. He was in the team of the tournament in Brazil I think, from LB.
It's actually a steal considering that we are in a transfer market that sold Luke Shaw at 19 for £30million.
Blind is essentially a wing back that can slot into CB. He will be a useful signing.
I still crave the Strootman signing injured or not.

Blind plays as a LB and a DM.
