A newspaper reporting LvG has told 5 players face to face between 2pm and 4pm saturday that they need to find new clubs before the transfer window shuts.

Nani, Anderson, Fellaini, Rafael and Hernandez.

What does everybody make of this?

1.) 10 Aug 2014
As far as i'm concerned all of them can leave but a replacement for Rafael would have to come if not i'd be worried about right wing back

2.) 10 Aug 2014
No surprises there mate if I am being honest.

It's the incomings I am more concerned about.

Hummels, Vidal and Di Maria would be nice.

But I'd settle for Benatia, Vidal & Cuadrado.

Mata's Beard,

RWB - Cuadrado/Valencia/Janko

LWB - Shaw/Young/James

If we sign Cuadrado then I think we will be well stocked.

I'd prefer hummels, Vidal and cuadrado.
Did you see earlier Dortmund have named hummels captain today, weak attempt to try guilt him to stay? He wasn't in squad today is he still on a break or injured, or does it look like he's definitely going somewhere?
If we don't get Vidal I think we should keep fellani until jan, at least he can tackle and put himself about a bit when required compared to fletcher and carrick.
I'm a bit surprised about rafael, thought this would be his season but his injury record is terrible so can see where he's coming from. Rest of them can happily go.

Lee, I agree about the guilt thing, they have also made Reus vice captain. Another one of their players who is open to a move.

6.) 10 Aug 2014
Lee - Do you honestly believe they would announce him as captain without discussing it with him first?

7.) 11 Aug 2014
Redseven, do you honestly think Hummels hasn't been in line for the captaincy for months?

8.) 11 Aug 2014
Imagine how bad it would look if they just made him captain and then sell him, he defo not joining us now I have no hope for him coming, so best to find a different centre back

9.) 11 Aug 2014
Welbeck should have been first on that list.

10.) 11 Aug 2014
Sorry but I think Welbeck is going to be instrumental in our success this year, he really adds something to our attack with his pace, his finishing needs to improve but in no way shape or form does he need to leave.

Rafael is the surprise but maybe he did not put the effort in with van gaal as well as his injury record. I do think we need to bring in a natural right back from the young players, maybe vermijl or janKo will get a shot as I amember sure we will play 4 at the back some time this year and don't really want to see Jones/Smalling/valencia there.
Interestingly Keane has been mentioned as well.hopefully just a loan move. May indicate that Blackett out performed him and may step up as cover.
Glad we are keeping shinji, not sure where he fits in but good player and also good for marketing purposes!

12.) 11 Aug 2014
Welbz should defo not be on that list, I think he's going to be a changed player under LVG. He has muscle and pace, sorts his finishing and final ball out. Watch him go, what do you think Ed?

I think he is a woman trapped in the body of a 14 year old boy.

14.) 11 Aug 2014
Southampton will have Hernandez ;)

15.) 11 Aug 2014
I think clev should be in that list

16.) 11 Aug 2014
I think Benatia/Blind, Rojo, Vidal, Cuadrado, Di Maria and Depay are somehow done. We definitely have done deals but maybe the Manager wants to have them all in and present them as a group. The strategy could be to do with price hikes if there is arbitrary announcements. Otherwise we shoudn't have released 5 first team players at once on saturday.

All the same hope LVG has a plan and its to win us the EPL and FA Cup in his first year.

17.) 11 Aug 2014
I agree, can't see LVG letting five first team players leaving without having anything in place. That said its getting very close to the first game of the season. However, as stated above he might be waiting to present them all at once. Fingers crossed.

LISTON,

Please send me some of the drugs that you have been taking, if you think that United will be signing 6 of the 7 players you listed there whatever you are on could be just the thing to cure this toothache that is killing me.
