If we manage to pull of the signing of Bastian Schweinstiger I think it could be a real coup similar to the one Jose pulled with Ballack when he put together his midfield of 'untouchables' all those years ago.

He would be a class signing. Major step up from your Blind's and Felliani's that's for sure.

Exactly same thing I said to my dad when it broke last night JMB, I think it'll be a similar catalyst, a player like him doesn't come along every other day. The guys special and won everything, people like pep just don't seem to understand that. (The pessimistic poster, not the genius manager)

Betty - Firstly, why do you hate thy so? Felliani was one of our best players last season but what I'm getting at is we are signing a winner and a champion as opposed to a player who can do a job.

David - I am not negative. I just have a lot of pessimism at the moment in regards to LVG and after last years showing we should all have concerns but I still like to see us sign awesome players and I think we all would agree Schweinstiger is the class of player United should be aiming for.

Dwill, Anon - Agree completely with your views. I hated coming up against that ****** Ballack he was as solid as an Ox and a General on the park. Here's hoping Schweinstiger can do the same job for us for the next few years.

So . Schweinsteiger would be a great signing .

One of the main reasons for that signing if it happens is the fact that Van Gaal is our manager .

We need to get rid of Van Gaal .

JMB. I don't hate thy so. I don't even know thy so. It just ammuses me that thy so constantly knows best and tells all other thy so's that they are wrong (with the exception of thy Beasty boy) , but then contradict yourself with subsequent posts.
This thread is a fine example. You have been telling us for months that Fellaini was our best player last season , and will be a nailed in started this coming season.
I get your point about Schweinsteiger being a step up , so maybe Fellaini was just a bad example seeing as he is our best player.
If you want to be the all knowing oracle , thy so needs a better memory.

So Van Gaal is a bigger draw than Man Utd Bilko?

No , but he's worked with the player and by all accounts Schweinsteiger respects him so it obviously plays a big part

I think he has signed for United not LVG

So when RVP signed for us rather than City , you think the chance to work with SAF had nothing to do with it ?

Both Chris. The money and United.
