Wil be happy if we do sign Herrera. Better option to fabregas young and just seems more cable to fab in todays football world and hopefully will be just as good as him a few years ago.
few reoprts utd intrests in James Rodriguez thoi don't see it happening and remember fews edd saying that he would prefer move to spain over england?
hopefully a defender or 2 is next on utd summer signing list
25 Jun 2014 22:18:38
Not entirely United related but Waddle is absolutely spot on about our countries football and reference to the last 20 years.
25 Jun 2014 22:09:47
Valencia seems to be staking a claim for midfield enforcer! What is happening to the guy?
25 Jun 2014 22:44:10
Thought he played well in 1st half in a more central role
25 Jun 2014 21:57:51
Evening folks hope all is well!
Excellent news about Herrera (If true), exactly what we needed, and exciting young player who will not be phased by playing at our massive club.
I've heard a lot of negativity when speaking to people about him, slating him for not having any PL experience, and claiming Cesc would have been the better option, firstly we know that Fabregas has done the job in the PL but I can honestly say I believe this lad has the ability to be something special.
Think back to when he played against us a few seasons ago, clear to see the boy was talented. Then there's the argument of his reported price, unfortunately this is the world we live in these days, you have to pay for ability/quality although I still can't help at laugh at the reported figure PSG paid for Luiz (Greatly overrated IMO) If Herrera hits it big at utd for the next 9/10 years then it will be money well spent - as was the case for the likes of Rio and arguably Rooney.
I can see us going for another strong midfielder, I think someone like Scott Parker a few years ago would be perfect - not the most talented player but always gave 100%, gets stuck in and wins the ball back in vital areas, plays the ball to Herrera for him to move forward with a bit of class - ala Gattuso Pirlo combo.
Cheers
JR
We want someone who is talented not a Scott Parker.
25 Jun 2014 23:11:02
Scott Parker type player as in hard working in Every game is just an example of the type of player who I believe would compliment the style of Herrera.
Plus Parker was smashing at putting in the hard work and battling in the midfield, in no way was he world class but he would have done the job playing along side another quality midfielder for any PL club in his day. Very underrated IMO.
Just my opinion and Parker was just an example.
25 Jun 2014 20:45:26
Not sure if this question has already been asked or if any of the prices quoted are at all accurate but: would you rather United spend the rumoured 34 mil for Luke Shaw or half the price to acquire Blind if he were available?
Spend on Shaw and Blind isn't a left back.
Blind is not a specialist left back and is also not very fast.He would be run over in the EPL. But 34m for shaw is getting ridiculous. Surely there are other LBs in the world.Rodrigues, moreno and kurzawa come to mind.
I would prefer wevsigned Ashley Cole on a free!
Shaw would be my first choice of any left-back in world football at the moment, but the rumoured price is ridiculous, let's be honest. If we don't pursue Shaw due to this, I'd be looking for someone better than Blind if I'm honest. Ricardo Rodriguez or Alberto Moreno would be decent options.
GB62 i'd have sooner signed Ashley cole on a free for a couple of seasons than Evra for another year!
It's too much for him on paper. Obviously if we have this war chest then why not as he is 10-12 year signing, but if it means we don't buy a CB or another CM for big money then no way. How can £34mil be justified for an unproven LB, its horrible how money is destroying the game.
25 Jun 2014 22:13:17
Id bring in blind as a utility man and go for a different left back. That price is stupid for a teenager with how many seasons of pro football. The media are complaining that there aren't enough top quality English players at the top clubs and too many foreign imports and this is why. Yes he could be united left back for 15 years but he could also have a career ending injury. We have enough of a rebuild and i'd rather get in someone who can do a job for less of a price.
26 Jun 2014 01:48:46
if you think about we paid 30 mil for rio 12 years of great service with luke shaw if stays all his career 15 years of how he is playing atm he could be world class so 34 mil for him 2.010mil a year seems worth it
26 Jun 2014 11:36:35
If all we needed to sign this summer was a left back then I would probably pay it. But we need more including a world class centrehalf, two midfielders and a pacy attacker none of which will come cheap. So a couple of them need to be cheaper signings and there are cheaper alternatives out there
25 Jun 2014 19:34:05
If the herrera rumours are true, we have signed in my opinion one of the best 3 young midfielder around.
Pretty much every Journo and his dog are saying it is all but done, but you never know.
The lad is a top talent though. Him, Mata and a defensive minded CM would be top draw IMO.
Agreed, and light years ahead of Strootman ;-)
Deeps.
I would hate to think what he's doing at Carrington if he isn't signing :)
Herrera and vidal will provide the energy we desperately need ;)
Herrera and Vidal would solve more issues tha n people think. We would be a completely different side with a midfield
{Ed004's Note - Vidal would be my dream signing this summer but it'll never happen}
I'm exciting about this season now, hopefully it's the revolution we have been waiting for for half a decade. Vidal will be the dream and if we can get Sanchez or Robben its back to the threatening Utd of old going forward.
We deserve some attractive football as it has all gone a bit stale.
Nani + Hernandez and £30mil. They could take it.
Syd - any idea's why the transfer hasn't been announced by the club?
I saw a quote from his agent saying: "things are moving along nicely".
Maybe we have to announce it first on the NY stock exchange?
I just can't see a player out there like Vidal. Best of both worlds with him. I know its highly unlikely but i'd sooner buy him for a high fee than buy 2 or 3 average players in his place
My bet is that it will be announced before 2pm tomorrow. NYSE.
26 Jun 2014 01:53:03
i think we need pogba more than vidal I think vidal is probably the best at what he does but pogba 21 is amazing why we let him go
Pogba is a brilliant player but doubt we will ever see him in a united shirt.
25 Jun 2014 19:28:30
I read an interesting article on how we found out about the price increasing on Herrera's release clause as at 1st July. Amazing how information can be passed around if of course it is true. A point in it was that Herrera was said to be very taken by joining the LvG revolution and to work with a manager of such standing. I think it bodes well for attracting players this time and in the next two to three windows.
As a player he is exactly the type of player we need at the right age. I hope he gets a partner in midfield this summer but I am relaxed with LvG in charge. His work with Holland has been impressive so far, we all know who is in charge. The comments on FIFA and authority have also been so very SAF. The big stage at OT will not phase LvG one bit and I for one look forward to being at OT when he and the team walk out on to the pitch mid August.
I agree finally lol, I have touted him for 2 years so delighted with the signing if it happens. Now if we got hummels, shaw, carvalho and iturbe, I might have to take a cold shower :)
Sorry forgot to say, I believe we will bid for Vidal this summer.
Shahram, wouldn't Herrera be an alternative to Vidal? I think we may opt for a cheaper alternative like Daley Blind. Although I hope you are right and we go for Vidal.
No he would complement him perfectly imo. Could happen as well.
Sydney
Interesting question and all depends how you want a team set up. You can play him as a 6 or an 8 because he is cable of doing either and technically really good. So the question then becomes is it a Vidal type player LVG would want with him with or a more a creative player like a Modric type play maker.
I think we will bid for Vidal and that came from one of the coaches back in January when they were here. Carvalho is also an option which leads me to believe we will play a 4-2-3-1 next year.
I am worried about Carrick being the playmaker as I don't believe Carrick moves the ball fast enough anymore and now a days everyone knows how to defend against teams that don't move the ball around fast enough.
25 Jun 2014 18:47:55
What happened to Kloot? did he spontaneously combust when we spent 37m on Mata?
25 Jun 2014 19:14:50
Some say he's been taking pilot lessons. Tentative sightings of his plane ocurred above OT mid way through the season and heading for Anfield on the last day of the season.
In all seriousness, his posts are missed and hope he's well
25 Jun 2014 18:16:38
Good news, just watched Herrera on YouTube and he was the best player in every clip!
Bad news, pretty sure he's not Dutch?
This leaves me undecided on him :-/
Zlatan agrees .
25 Jun 2014 16:15:47
is there only me that thinks that under louis van gall and with the the right signings this summer that we can win the league back straight away or am I just biased and deluded and letting my heart rule my head? I think the 6/1 odds to win the league are very generous and I for one am having a large bet on us!
25 Jun 2014 16:53:04
Sorry But I don't see it happening, We have some Huge issues yet to address. Also I don't see how we can better a squad such as Chelsea this season, They will be formidable.
We will be much better next season, but I don't think we will be ready until the season after next.
At this moment in time, I think Chelsea will be no more formidable than last season. They will be strong, but I think people are going overboard.
Fabregas could be a good signing but I don't see it working for him with Chelsea and Mourinho. I don't think Jose's style is suited to getting the best out of Cesc.
Costa is dire, I don't care how many goals he scored last season for Atletico. I have watched him a lot and he seems more interested in arguing and causing trouble than anything else. He is a one and done, Atletico know this as well I am sure.
I don't think we will win the league though. I think it will be between City and Chelsea, with us and Arsenal fighting it out for 3rd.
I think we can win it too, seeing how liverpool just missed it and we have a much stronger squad I think we have the ability. Why can't we win the league?
We finished 7th last season and that's why people think we cant. Answer me this. If we had van gaal/fergie last season and finish 2nd or 3rd don't u think we'd still have a chance?
That year was just a blip and i'm confident with rvp on form we can win the league
Last season, everyone said with Mourinho at Chelsea they will walk the league and they struggled massively at times.
A lot also thought with City signing Fernandinho, Negredo, etc. they will also win the league, but again they also struggled at times.
I think, if the players allow themselves to be coached, adapt quickly and play in a strong system then there is no reason why if accompanied by the right signings that we cannot win the league.
IF we signed Herrera, Carvalho, Indi and Shaw then I see no reason why we can't reclaim the league title.
I don't think we have a need for a winger at the moment though, the chances are that Rooney/Kagawa/Mata and Januzaj will play out wide. with one of them also filling the attack midfield 3 role.
SE1980, I see no reason why we can't win the league next year, with a little luck of course.
Moon, we badly need a quick left forward. BADLY!
I'm going to be optimistic and say if we get players in of a decent quality why not. We were poor last year but the top four weren't brilliant. I shall be having £50 on us and £50 on RVP to be top scorer.
I would love it but I don't see us winning the league next year. top 3/4 is very realistic. We will aim for top though.
That said I too will have a dabble at 6to1 as that is value betting and we won't have those odds on us again hopefully so.I am happy to risk some money on it.
And we badly need an top quality experienced cb badly. The amount of people who think that adding one young or mediocre cb to our injury prone trio will be enough is baffling. Our defence was awful last season, and we've lost both our defensive organisers this summer.
Bringing in one top player like Hummels, and we might just about cope if he stays injury free. But if we were only to bring in one young player like Martins Indi, we would be slaughtered.
Sydney, I completely disagree to be honest with you.
Januzaj was terrific on the Left and let's not forget that Welbeck will either play wide left or move on.
His performances at the WC show how effective he can be out wide, if he starts taking more risks (which LVG may encourage) then he can turn into one hell of a winger.
We don't NEED a Left winger, Young on his day is good, Nani on his day is excellent, Januzaj isn't the slowest in the world, neither is Kagawa or Rooney for that matter.
as per usual, people are blowing things out of proportion with players and positions that we NEED! - The way I see it is that if we're going to win the EPL next year I don't think it will matter whether we have Depay or Welbeck at LW.
As danny says we NEED a cb I think we will struggle with out a top class CB
Moon, MU will beg to differ :)
Seriously we are lacking pure pace upfront. We need that option.
Jred, I completely agree, who would be your choice? I think we need to break the bank for Hummels.
Jred danny
I agree. Neither Evans, Jones or Smalling are good enough for a championship winning side. All 3 between their injuries and major mistakes are not what you can count on.
I guess England's dismal showing in the world cup should be enough evidence how overrated these player are and our lot did not even get on the pitch.
I think one of jones or smalling will get sold in the next 2 years.
Shahram, Hodgson went with Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill & Baines for their experience. England looked better defensively in the last game with the younger players plus Cahill.
Jones will be at MU for a very long time.
Sydney,
I would like to see a LW but for me that shouldn't be the main focus, another CM, 2CB's, a LB and then a LW.
If we lose out on a CM, CB or LB because we've bought a LW then I'm not going to be overly pleased.
Our wingers and creative players could cope until next summer providing we sign the players in the priority positions first.
When Fergie was telling how magnificent Jones was going to be he'd obviously been on the vino, I think seeing reality has been the reason for selling his plonk collection.
Why would we lose out on other positions if we signed a left winger/forward? How are they even connected?
It's pretty obvious MU want one as we have looked at Mueller, Sanchez, Konoplyanka & Robben. So it's happening mate :)
26 Jun 2014 00:08:32
Woah there, GCU. Can I remind you that Evans is not English, he's an Ulsterman.
As such, he didn't even get the opportunity to humiliate himself on the world stage.
We definitely need a pacey lw as much as a cb, lb, and two cm's and robben would be ideal
25 Jun 2014 15:59:41
Sydney I don't think.Sanchez is off to united ;)
Neither do I, I think he may replace Suarez at Liverpool or more than likely move to Juventus ;)
Syd, Liverpool have Lambert now, so they won't need to replace Hannibal.
:0)
Sydney I think we all know suarez is a.goner.
And no I don't believe it will be.juve, figures are miles apart. Interesting one
If Juventus want him enough they will get him Al. I think they are probably playing hardball at the moment, but if someone from the EPL matched Barcelona's valuation, I think they would step in.
25 Jun 2014 13:23:33
Quick question for Supasub. I just saw your earlier post about Suarez, saying the only solution is canine removal. I don't understand, how will confiscating his dog help?
Because his dog is a bad influence on him :)
25 Jun 2014 15:31:16
Oh no betty is that a tumble weed I see ;-)
Betty I think your making a big floss over nothing.
Chris, I don't know what it is mate. I can't see from here. It may even be a lead balloon :(
Must try harder.
25 Jun 2014 17:25:07
Your having a bit of a ruff patch
Thread of the day :)
Betty you are just on cool down from last night, you had me and the Mrs in stitches.
25 Jun 2014 14:14:08
3 different twitter accounts reporting United interest in Xavi today.
Whilst I know any tom dick or harry can open a twitter account and say whatever they want it does raise a question.
Is he needed? Is he past it? Would he be the same player without Iniesta beside him?
Banter please eds
{Ed004's Note - It is not going to happen. He is past it and isn't needed especially if Herrera is signed}
Xavi for one season wouldn't be completely out of the question IMO. No one plays a number six role much better. It could be a stop-gap until Strootman is fit.
Xavi as a 6, Herrera as an 8 and Mata as a 10 isn't too shabby.
25 Jun 2014 15:58:18
Whos's the defensive midfielder in that trio?
Xavi's legs are gone, plus he's signed a pre contract to join a middle east team. Also where is the defensive cover coming from?
Hes 34, he's passed his best for sure but if he come to man utd even just for a season or 2 he would be a revelation, he can still take the pi ss on a football field and make people chase shadows just for the fun of it, alongside herrera and a player like carvallho i'm jizzing almost thinking about it.
Stretfordender,
No doubt on the ball Xavi is still as classy as they come but without someone sitting to protect the back four we would be over run. We have a lot of 10's and I can't see us playing a system without one as you have suggested. I should imagine the No. 6 type will be great on the ball but be able to offer something in defence too (Maybe a Kroos type player). The lad Jordy Clasie although not as good as Kroos from an attacking point has the passing range and accuracy for the role whilst offering a lot more defensively.
25 Jun 2014 14:05:13
Not back yet but caught a glimpse of some TV and saw that Herrera has nearly signed. Shaw is now £34 million or off and we have an interest in Khedira and Robben apparently. That's what it's saying in Italy anyway! Would be very happy with those 4.
Obviously Herrera isn't confirmed yet, but I could see him playing the number 8 role and being the legs. Not sure who will get the number 6, possibly Khedira, whoever they are they need to have some bite but also some quality on the ball. I'd be very excited to see Robben alongside RVP with Mata feeding them both. Still not sure where Rooney fits in but thankfully it's not my problem to solve!
Fresh, bugger off before the deals all fall through :)
Suarez for the number 6 role perhaps? I hear he might soon be available and certainly has plenty of bite!
Ha ha redseven beat me to it
25 Jun 2014 13:18:06
We really do have a wonderful opportunity next year to get off to a fantastic start. Three promoted teams in the first 6 fixtures, an opportunity to avenge last season's Everton double and then Chelsea and Man City as matches 10 and 11 by which time we could and should be truly ensconced in the top 4. So between pre-season and the first two months, LVG will have 3 months of a relatively uncluttered schedule to get a system in place. Then we will see how it stacks up against the top teams.
The Gods are aligning to give LVG exactly the opposite sort of start to the one they gave Moyes. Here's hoping he and the team can take advantage of it. There will be no excuses this time around.
Agreed it's a fantastic opportunity to get off to a good start.
If Moyes had gotten that kind of start along with having an Ed Woodward in place with one years' experience under his belt we would have gotten top 4 and Moyes would still be in the job.
I suppose it might for the best that he didn't - at least in the long run.
25 Jun 2014 16:09:05
Moyes got messed around last year because he's Moyes , LVG would never have tolerated it .
Also Mpyes not decisive enough when it comes to signing players , has to dither around for a year trying to makeup his mind
I think we are now seeing that Moyes transfer plans take 12 months to happen.anyone remember who else was on his list and will be signed soon!
25 Jun 2014 06:11:29
Eds, James Rodriguez is for me one of the best up and coming players around. Is ther any info, on any potential moves away from Monaco anytime soon? I think United should have gone all out to get him from Porto and he could be just the player we need ATM.
Thanks in advance
{Ed002's Note - No.}
25 Jun 2014 12:54:36
Reports are back on that Van Gaal Is desperate for Robben, whilst I would be happy to get him it surely would be a case of Van Gaal asking 'do you fancy it'.if the answer is yes then go hard to Munich to negotiate. If the answer is no then we move on.
Reporters rehashing stories I think
25 Jun 2014 12:45:45
Anyone know if the story that Sanchez is close to signing for juventus is genuine?
He would be ideal signing for us and barca seem to be willing to let him go, we desperately need a new winger as young is simply not good enough and nani, tho can perform, is infuriatingly inconsistent. Januzal is really the only decent winger we have with Valencia staying only due to his versatility, tbh I can see him playing as wingback more, perhaps as part of a back 5.
There have been stories stating we're after robben but I think its just lazy journalism and a pretty much non starter. For me the best (realistic) choice would be depay, young, quick, has great potential and available for around 20m
The Herrera deal is an interesting one, it will be telling to find out if he was picked specifically by lvg or if van gaal simply agreed to an existing target. Either way I think he is a top player who will dictate play from deep a la scholes in his older years
I think we still need another midfielder but with the Herrera deal in place then I doubt it will be schweisteinger or someone of that ilk, maybe classie but if were me, then I would play herrera alongside calvalho. Defensively strong and an efficient passer, this pairing would shield the defence allowing the full backs to bomb forward creating extra width, they would also be mobile enough to play a high pressing game and would be equally good as a pair in a 4231 or as part of a midfield 3 with kagawa or mata playing as the attacking midfielder.
I think we should also buy blind, as he can play as a wingback in a 5man defence or in midfield if calvalho or Herrera are injured, he could also play as part of a midfield 3 with Herrera being the most attacking of the 3 in a 433 with evra as the left back
Signing blind would also allow us to try buying Shaw and loaning him back for a year, thus allowing him to develop more, keep on good terms with Southampton (they have a great youth setup) and hopefully get him a little cheaper
The last position that needs addressing (and maybe most importantly) is a new cb, Hummel's is the obvious choice but may not be available to is, vermalean is another, experienced in the prem, but often injured, depending on price could be a good buy. I would however want to bring in someone younger martins indi would he a good option or even mangala if the price could be negotiated, as it stands I would play Evans and Jones consistently till December with indi getting games in cups such to get used to the pace of the prem. If vermalean comes then I would sell or loan smalling and have indi as back up to vermalean with Evans back up to jones
Selling young, clev, nani and buttner could maybe bring in 20m but I still think the club should look at off loading Rooney, even selling at 25-30m would be good as you would also save the 300,000 a week which would go a long way to covering the wages of all the new signings alone
Dags
Juve want him bad, but they cannot afford him. They will need to sell Pogba to be able to bring in their summer's targets. That's in a nutshell. Don't forget that Juve are well known for their derisory offers and trying to get players dirt cheap.
I reckon we could be in for Vidal - with the money being used by Juve for Sanchez.
25 Jun 2014 12:36:09
After Reading reports by respected Spanish journalists I think we may have something with Harera, .it will be how we use him but in today's prices 28m looks a fair price. Shaw looks like it may go ahead soon, ignore the banded prices whatever the fee it will be staged based on appearances and trophys. If we end up paying the lot it will be because he has been a success.
2 quality additions by the, start of the transfer window has rekindled my excitement. Maybe Woodward does have a plan, just one that takes a bit of time and is quietly happening behind the scenes.which is how we used to do business before last year!
2 more months to get the Cd, seconditions Cm and winger we need, plus getting rid of dead wood.
He cost more then Fabregas; who is EPL proven and ahead of him on the international scene - so not so sure on £28m being 'a fair price'. Kroos will also move for less.
Herrera as a package will be a fair price. When you consider his wages will be just £9.2m for four years. There will be other costs involved, but just wages and fee is about £39m if reports are to be believed.
Cesc would be upwards of £30m. His wages will be four times what Herrera is on. He would no doubt command a much higher signing on fee and agent fees would more than likely be much higher. His bonuses with be higher too.
So the transfer fee looks quite large, but if you look at the bigger picture he is certainly a fair price.
Think Sydney hit the nail on the head, package will be massively cheaper and at 24 he will be with us for longer. Also, I am not convinced Fabregas wanted to come whereas everything I read about Harera says he was desperate for it last year and continued to want the move. but was not willing to force it. So you have a player with desire to play for us and morals as as well.type of player I want at my club.
25 Jun 2014 12:22:33
Hypothetical question for bit of fun. Would be happy to sell Rooney and Mata if it resulted in getting Depay and Rodriguez?
Selling a striker and top quality number 10 to buy 2 wider players would be a bit strange. Why not keep Rooney to rotate with RVP, keep Mata to rotate with Kagawa behind and buy Rodriguez and Depay for the wider roles. Sell Nani, Young and Welbeck to make space.
25 Jun 2014 10:31:14
Not saying it's going to happen but it's not beyond the realms of possibility of having a front 3 of robbery, rvp and depay. Save some money by getting in blind. I know it's a bit Dutch but that would be some attack. Young certainly has to go imo as I can't see where he would fit in and potentially keep nani who can play left or right and no matter how much people slate him he certainly makes a strong squad player.
I meant robben, not his Chinese cousin.
Right now it looks like the targets are Shaw, Vermaelen & Herrera. What I cannot figure out is do we want one of Sanchez, Robben, Depay, Konoplyanka or do we want two of them? Also I have a feeling about Blind. His versatility could make us very interested. Can he play as a right wingback?
Syd, I totally agree about Blind. All squads need a versatile player. We've had some in the past like Phil Neville and John O'Shea and I feel Blind could fill that role however, he has a lot more ability than Neville or O'Shea. I can't say I've ever seen him play right back but from what I have seen he is certainly intelligent enough to do so.
Blind also has been playing as a cdm for ajax. he's done a good job in that position also
Ajax usually sell their players on pretty cheaply as well, I'm sure Rafael van der Vaart went to Hamburg initially for somewhere in the region of £4m (correct me if I'm wrong). Also Christian Eriksen moved for a fairly cheap price given his ability last summer.
Plus, Liverpool must have bitten their hand off for Suarez at around £20m! Sorry couldn't resist ;)
25 Jun 2014 09:48:27
Not commented on the Suarez incident as of yet, mainly because I'm in shock he has been crazy enough to do it yet again. I turned over from England to watch the last half hour of the Italy/Uruguay game as I was truly bored with England. He must have some serious mental issues to continually do this and he needs proper medical help to work out what his mental problem is. Biting someone for, pretty much, no reason hints at some serious issues, as any normal person wouldn't even think to do it in these situations. It's not even something the vast majority of young children do when they are agitated, so for a grown man to do it is truly shocking.
The punishment can't be just about a huge ban, he must be made to go to proper psychological examinations and treatment for a sustained period, to help the guy. I, personally, would give him a world wide ban for 12 months and make him go for treatment for the whole time. If, the people treating him say he has responded to the treatment, then after 12 months he is free to carry on his career. He has an illness and it needs sorting now as he will do it again if not.
I just don't get it. The commentator for the English game said their had been an incident in the other game, changed the channel and heard the word bite and thought, no way. But, yes it was Suarez again.
This is a player who had worked hard to get fit for the world cup, scored two in his first game, and was poised to finally get his dream move to Spain. So what does he do? Bites another player, for no reason, at the world's biggest tournament, of course.
So now he's going to get another big ban, he's probably scuppered his transfer hopes, and his country's chances in the world cup. I know that he got Liverpool CL football for next season, but I wonder if they are wishing that they cashed in on him last season.
Crazy or just dumb?
How about that Norwegian than won £1600 on Suarez biting someone!
He needs a 12 month ban at least from all football, longer. If you are an opponent you could almost understand them not playing against him, he is an animal and previous punishments have not deterred him. I bet clubs are thinking about launching legal issues about exposing their players to such a messed up guy.
He may not be the brightest, I don't know him so can't comment, but bighting isn't an act of someone dim, it is an act of someone with serious issues. He needs help for his own good and that of his fellow professionals. A large ban is also needed and it needs to be all football not just internationals as that is only a small part of a footballers season.
On a plus note, if he gets a big bam maybe Madrid/Barca will go all out for Aguero :-) I hope so.
His shoulder hit me in the chest and he hit my eye too! (Then he held his teeth) These things happen, people make too much of it! Yes, Suarez really does have mental issues.
Suarez is a disgrace but them pool boys will support him no matter what.
He is their best chance to win something in years.
Hopefully he gets banned for his actions and justice is served

I think its a positive sign that the Herrera deal came from left field and nobody seen this coming, maybe Mr Woodward and MU have finally got there act together and are doing their deals on the QT and not in public.

Now you all will think that its the match day fever. But its not ;). I have been a fan of this player since he was playing in the portuguese league. He has got speed, trickery and a footballing mind. When we were linked to him I thought we should have gone all out for him. But instead he went and joined some French club.
James Rodriguez, the player I believe resembles CR7, both in terms of potential skills and that superstar aura.
I would have loved if the club shows any interest in signing him. His price will go up after the world cup. Or will be think over the position and the club he is in and force a move to another club, our club? I read that LVG has that power to pull players. Believe me James is worth every penny.
Thoughts?
We should have gone in for him last year. I don't think we could get him now even if his club allowed him to leave!

Probably could put ourselves in Southampton's shoes and say what would you sell a player that played at the same club, same position, and had performed better and in a bigger league then gareth bale at 18

Bebe plays for the same club and same position and ronaldo, so we should sell him for 80 million?

In the middle of all the usual hand wringing about England's inevitable exit from another tournament , the point about not enough English players playing for top clubs came up .
Is it any wonder when we see the figures being quoted for an 18 year old left back?

i think the key word was "better" GDS.

Lads, I've heard we're signing a midfielder by the name of Ander Herrera.
I must confess I don't much about him. First of all, what on earth is a midfielder?

Banter? On a banter site? How dare you, have you not read the rules?
Ander Herrera AND Arturo Vidal with Luke Shaw, Ezequiel Garay, Mats Hummels and I will be one happy bunny!
I'm still twitching
