Ed002, is there any intrest in carvalho or did a bid went in from MU?

{Ed002's Note - It is understood that after the appointment of van Gaal an enquiry was made with Manchester United to establish if they were still interested in the player - and I understand that the club has said that they were. Since then there has been nothing in relation to MU - perhaps put off by the asking price.}

1.) Yet whenever I read any rumour linking Arsenal to Carvalho the reported price is in the region of 25 million pounds.

And when it is us it goes up to 37million pounds.

Did Eds and you guys still think we can attract players like Vidal after such a horrible start to the season?

{Ed001's Note - yes, it is still early yet. They key is to make sure the club is in a position to challenge near the top in the January window, if additions are to be brought in then. This window, players will see massive spending as a signal of intent and join.}

1.) Ed001 thanks for your comment and I couldn't agree more.
Man Utd have employed a manager in LVG who is viewed as among the best. One of his assets will be his ability to attract top class players to the club who will want to play for him. The fact that players like RvP, Rooney, Mata etc speak highly of LVG helps. I would of preferred Man Utd to have signed a top class CM before ADM but having said that this has now signalled to other players the clubs intent to get back to the top of the PL and Europe. This will mean that it will be easier to sign more quality players as we move forward for the remainder of this window and for future windows. If by January we are in the top 4 or only a few points outside then we can push on.

2.) @Ed001

What is your opinion on United's transfer window so far? Forget the money, we had to spend sometime anyway, after all the under investment since the takeover, but what do you think about the quality of the players brought in?

Only Herrera has played from all of our signings so far, that too just 60 minutes, so basically, what we have seen in the 3 games is the same dross that was there for a while.

Apart from the possibility of Vidal/Blind can you see any center back coming in? Experienced head on loan perhaps?

{Ed001's Note - centre back is certainly a priority for the club, I would be shocked if one didn't arrive.

So far, I really rate Herrera, get him settled and used to the English style and he will be a fantastic acquisition, but he does need help in midfield.
Shaw just needs to have a watch over his fitness, not stamina for the wing back role, I mean his fitness in terms of keeping fit and clear of injury. He does tend to spend too much time out injured. In terms of his ability though, plus his physical attributes of pace and power, he should be an excellent signing.
I am not a fan of Di Maria at all, I think he is a very inconsistent player who lacks a football brain, hence his inconsistency. Maybe a coach like Van Gaal, who will give him very strict instructions, can cut down on his need to use his brain and so get the most from his ability. He does have a lot of ability, it is just that he doesn't always use it to his best, though it is very rare he is not working hard for the team. I just prefer players to make the most of their work, rather than just do lots of it.}

3.) Hogs, I think MU want to give Vidal time to see how his knee heals before they go for him. What a window we would have had if we sign Vidal.

4.) Whether LvG turns out to be the right choice remains to be seen but people need to realise he didn't get the job because he was the best but the best available forget about preseason and concentrate on what we have seen so far no passion no pride no cohesiveness no confidence it is worse then last season so far people need to stop blindly believing that LvG is the second coming of christ YES the players he currently has are not all up o scratch and Yes we have an awful injury list YET AGAIN but LvG most also take his portion of the blame by sticking with a formation the players are just not comfortable with he keeps asking for time and patience but how long 3 months? 4 months? 5/6/7 this season next season at some point somebody has to say hold on this isn't working let's try something else the only time we have looked anywhere close to a cohesive team is when he changed to a 433 against swansea coincidence? I think not
