The main reason why Man Utd have pulled out in the
race to sign Pedro is simple.Pedro moving out from
barcelona is because he wants to play week in week
out,meaning his coming ment he was surposed to play
every game no matter how Awful he
plays.Manchester United is the biggest club in the world they is Stiff Competition no one is Guaranteed
the first 11 line-up maybe only Rooney because he is
the Captain and the Goalkeeper and moreover this
season it will be worse off if David De Hea stays
,Big Dave and Romaro will fight for the Number
one Groove. However,Manchester United is not like Chelsea and other small teams.You think its a Joke
puting Herrera ,Mata,Young,Fellaini who were our
best players last season on the Bench?Every player
fights for Positions.Go and ask Cowards like Di
maria he will tell.we have young players like Januzaj
and Pereira who are Hungry to fight for Positions.so Good move Mr Van Gaal and Mr Woody in pulling
out in singing Pedro

I've made up my mind not to be bothered by Gaal's stupidity in the transfer market. Gaal will not kill me. If he buys, fine; if he doesn't, fine. His azz is on the line if we play poorly this season after all.

Na sit down look mode sure for me pass now, no time

Van Gaal has moved Memphis back to left wing position. He now has 3 people that can easily slot into that position (Young, Adnian and memphis)
Mata is still holding the right midfield down but could also receive some competition from memphis

That leaves us with a desperate need for the forward and CB positions hence the reason he may have dropped his interest in pedro.

To be honest, we would have had to sell young in order to accommodate pedro

I'm beginning to see some sense in this whole saga, you right

But my question is, why go after him in the first place?

so it's just coincidence that he started to sulk after rvp began to take all the plaudits playing the number 9, even when he knew his own best position was 10...

The 9 position suddenly became his dream challenge.. . Alright

Rooney never complained about the number 9 when RVP was around. He gladly played behind Wekbeck and Chicha before RVP arrived and gladly played again behind RVP Welbeck and Chicha when Moyes took over.

So Woodward dey delay Pedro deal because of 2m and has now apparently bid 60m for muller. .

If this is true I expect barca and even Pedro to be irritated and will not be surprised if the numerous Chelsea reports subsequently turns out to be true. ..


This will be bottling of unimaginable proportions

Is this not what you guys have played for all summer? *This will gladden Coogar, StarBoard and Chrisley024.

Remaining a Centre Back. A position I think we are okay with so far.

It’s safe to conclude Van Gaal changed his thinking after experimenting with deploying Memphis as a number 10 (behind Rooney). I would imagine he initially wanted Pedro to compete with young for that spot but Memphis is less productive as a number 10.

Memphis has now reverted back to his traditional position hence the noticeable improvement.

We are definitely going to be playing the 4-2-3-1 formation going forward and that leaves us with other pressing needs

Chasing unrealistic targets ain't the way forward right now, we need to get our acts right and fast or risk finishing below our expectations

the centre forward position is our biggest need now. we have a lot of players that can play as a wing forward. muller is a huge upgrade on pedro.

CUT-PRICE SCHWEINI

An interesting line from Bild this morning, who are reporting that midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger cost Man United only €9m to buy from Bayern Munich this summer, and not the €18m that had initially been reported.

They aren't unrealistic targets bro. You don't expect us to just throw money around just because we have 'em in bulk. Van Gaal has also reiterated countless times that he will only buy if he feels they will improve on what he has at the moment and the targets that will fit our bill will almost certainly come at premium.

We simply cannot afford another Di Maria type of financial blunder

Don't be surprised to see rooney deployed back to number 10 role and fellaini pushed further forward.

I also don't see Chicarito leaving so that's another possibility
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:55pm On Aug 19, 2015
Manchester United have told Sky Sports News HQ they have dropped their interest in signing Barcelona winger Pedro amid reports he is set to join Chelsea.http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9956258/manchester-united-drop-interest-in-barcelonas-pedro-amid-chelsea-interest

...........

Report says we dropped interest. Not that we didn't meet the release clause.

my prayer was never leaving reality to chase fantasies

There are a very wide range of stories making rounds now and there's no way of knowing for sure what actually happened... But from what I've been able to sieve from the countless different stories out there is that

United and barca couldn't agree on how the actual payment would be made not necessarily how much


Then again if lvg feels that what Pedro is going to bring to the table isn't worth the stagnation of the growth of players like januzaj and pereira.
We'll have to wait till season's end to see if he will be vindicated

rooney back to number 10 again? were some fans not beating their chests that rooney would score 30 goals if played as a lone striker? hell, even rooney promised to deliver 25 goals per season if played as a lone striker. can we just forget the rooney project and invest in an elite striker already? the truth is.....rooney isn't excellent at anything and this has been the case for almost 3 seasons now.

this is the current strength of our forward players and rooney isn't the at the top of any attribute known to strikers....

leading the line - hernandez
getting behind the defensive wall - hernandez
providing movement upfront - hernandez
pace - hernandez
hold up play - fellaini
target man - fellaini
aerial ability - fellaini, hernandez
finishing - mata, hernandez, rooney


chrisley024:

we got bastian, muller cannot be impossible with the kinda money that is being reported we are offering Bayern.
guardiola himself would drive muller to old trafford if the report is true.

fingers crossed.....
as long as LVG acknowledges the fact that we are inadequate in that centre forward position, i am fine. he knows we need an elite player in that position. the rooney as a striker project has already failed before it kicked off. we need a striker more than a centre-half sef.

I also want rooney out bro!. I don't rate shrek but Van Gaal goofed after having declared his absolute loyalty to the club captain. My only respite is the fact that Van Gaal is outrageously ruthless and he isn't afraid to make big decisions. I would expect rooney to be dropped if his dry run continues
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 2:10pm On Aug 19, 2015
Na LVG dey cause all these nonsense. He keeps trying to shift players out of positions thereby causing problems for himself.

Depay played in his natural position against Brugge and we all saw how he performed, he will only improve if played there regular, atleast he and Young will man the LW, that is covered.

Let Mata and Rooney fight for the Hole, Januzaj & Pedro could have manned the RW.

Get Muller (if he comes) as the main striker with chcharito & wilson as backup.

I still don't know where to place Fellaini, but he has proven that he is an option that gives us a different dimension that has given us positive results.


All these shifting of players here and there is what has made LvG not even know who to buy if these Pedro Rumours are anything to go by.

A player could have a fantastic game in a makeshift position but will not give us what we want on the long run simply because it aint his natural position.

if we buy muller, rooney would drop to the midfield yet again. he would likely take mata's position or something weird. surprisingly, our defence has been awesome. i was shocked when gary neville said we have the best defence in the league since November last year. only 23 goals conceded in the last 30 league games or so.

we haven't even conceded any in the league this year......with blind in the defence and without de gea? blind has been awesome in the defence which goes to show brains beat brawns any day. it's all about positioning and interceptions. i still want us to get a great centre-half though but the attack is the biggest issue now.

rooney is an animal when he needs to prove himself...
fergie said so that rooney has to play on the edge to perform. if we get an elite striker, he would sit up and do the needful. if he doesn't, we should sell him to fernabache where he can continue his bromance with nani or RVP.

I'm with you bro, we definitely need an above par centre forward since we are almost certainly going to shade possession stats for majority of games we play under Gaal.
We just need a worker like Lewadonski with sublime predatory instinct to match.

Smalling has massively improved but i still don't understand why da fvck he keeps trying to head low balls. He needs to be able to control balls under pressure then distribute accordingly

Blind has been massive thus far but that has something to do with Morgan doing effective job of protecting the back 4.

I’m not even sure Romero had to make any diving save yesterday. We were that impressive

Getting an elite striker will only expose Rooney the more. I don't know if Rooney can still ginger himself if he sees competition. His age and the 300k he earns are weighing him down.

Rooney! Getting shifted here and there since time immemorial.

Oh So Depay played well against Brugge because he played in his 'Natural Position' grin grin

Not because he was playing the 2nd best outfit the Eredivisie's younger sister had to offer.

Not because he was playing against a team whose club record signing cost 2.8 million pounds(2 month's salary for Rooney)

Not because he was playing against a team who last won the tenth ranked league in Europe 10 years ago.

Nah he played well because he played on the left wing in his 'Natural Position' grin

Funny, I thought that's where he played(quite uninspiringly) against Villa.

Yet We Chelsea fans overHype Hazard?
