Big shout from Italian journalist tancredi palmieri that UTD have bid 100mil euro for Bale. Ed002 has said repeatedly that Bale has his price! Have we met it?? Throw in De Gea and get it done?

30 Aug 2015 23:11:09
Even if we doubled it there is no way Bale would want to leave trophy contenders for that shower today. LVG would pick him but tell him he can only pass sideways or launch long balls when Fellaini comes on when we are chasing games

30 Aug 2015 23:18:14
Won't happen. Wouldn't surprise me if we get nobody else this window.

Good post angel.
Shame about Jamie's reply. And here's why!
It's completely ridiculous to announce that LVG would do this or that with a player of Bale's quality. Bale is exactly what we are missing, I've said all Summer that we need something different in the final third and ideally CF and he ticks the boxes. Today's result came about because of a disastrous 5 minutes, including an incompetent performance from our stand in GK. Jamie also bashes Fellaini, why? Because we have plan B? What else do you do with 15 minutes to go when the game plan isn't working anymore because of a nightmare? Look at Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Southampton, Stoke, actually anyone barr City who have the gods smiling on them at present and are playing well. Jamie I applaud you for highlighting the total ignorance that exists in the modern day football fan, regardless of club. My advice to you is please take the time to actually watch a game of football from time to time instead of following results and the occasional MOTD. United look 'almost there' to me, today's result was dissapointing but for reasons I'm not sure have been suggested accurately.
Cheers as always Eds.

Finally people starting to talk and see sense. LVG is beyond a joke. Why are we persisting with this clown? His tactics are awful. We have to get a striker AT LEAST. He's come in, sold Welbeck, sent Hernandez out on loan and obviously won't play him as proven at Swansea. He's let RVP go and got rid of Falcao. We have no options if Rooney is injuredz we used to have 4 top strikers in the great United sides. We're down to 1! AGGGHHHH!!!!!

31 Aug 2015 01:58:26
We have to sign someone. There are plenty out there who could improve our attacking play.

After today, there isn't an excuse. I just can't see us competing with the attack as it is. We need someone who can put the ball in the back of the next, and can do it on a consistent basis.

You're right, Ed002 did say Bale will be sold at the right price if they can get Reus.
Honestly, I think this summer is the best time to sign Bale. Next season, Bayern might be after him (and will most certainly get him), trying to push out Robben/Ribery as they have missed out on KDB.

king giggsy yeah almost there we had three players playing out of position having spent €424 million since Fergie left and it's only 4 games in. We need a Gk a CB a RW and a Striker. I'm not sure how you quantify almost there but 3 goals in 4 games can be called almost there. Yesterday as soon as Swansea scored the second it was game over, that team has no fight in them. we currently have 3 players (DDG who wants out, Shaw and Darmian) that would push for a starting place in one of the big sides. the biggest concern is the style which is terrible to watch and not even successful yeah I hear people would take 1-0 if it meant winning things. We play this boring sideways rubbish, but won't win anything either. the fact we haven't signed any top players isn't a money issue its nobody wants to work with LVG look how he has treated some players really think we dropped interest in Pedro or he didn't fancy playing for a man who publicly hung Valdes out to dry.

30 Aug 2015 20:16:41
Why oh why can our front players not rotate positions if only to create some space and draw defenders out of position, all front 4 are way to static in their position and easy to mark.

30 Aug 2015 21:36:41
They do its called the LVG shuffle :)

30 Aug 2015 21:45:45
Because, as I haver been saying since he came in, LVG won't allow it. His tactics are a joke. And I was proven right today. I told you we would lose. He's obsessed with possession which does not win you games. Goals do. And we can score them. If Rooney is injured then what? Unless a miracle happens this season then I think we'll be lucky to make top 4 and if we do it will only be because of teams around us being even more awful.

30 Aug 2015 23:13:11
We look more like scoring when Rooney isn't playing terrible today 10 games without a goal is sackable

31 Aug 2015 07:12:54
When its not happening for us,why doesn't LvG bring Young on to play on the left and move Depay to the right? That way, instead of cutting inside all the time, Depay could put some quality crosses in? He's better with his right foot and maybe us changing our plan would have worked as well as Swansea changing theirs. No. LvGs idea would be, bring on Fellaini, forget about football, just lump it in.

Bein Sports reporting that Kaylor Navas is part of the DDG deal and coming our way.

Also reporting that Chelsea are enquiring about La Porte's release clause.

30 Aug 2015 19:09:26
Apparently Charlie Austin is all but a done deal, not heard anything about this prior to about half an hour ago. Medical tomorrow, £15m + add ons, I'd be happy with that.

30 Aug 2015 19:42:25
I'm not sure I would be. Biggest club in the world and we are fishin around for championship strikers?

30 Aug 2015 20:22:25
fishing around championship strikers haha . wayne rooney at the moment is far worse then a championship striker. i'd be happy with austin can hold a ball and can finish that is for sure

30 Aug 2015 20:24:09
i don't know what you guys think. i do believe we have a good squad to challenge for the league but i don't believe we can under louis van gaal.

30 Aug 2015 20:26:42
Ed "Ibrahimovich?"
LVG "nah"
Ed "Cavani?"
LVG "no thanks"
Ed "Bale?"
LVG "nope"
Ed "Benzema??"
LVG "no way"
Ed "The boy Neymar?"
LVG "no!!!"
Ed "Who then?! Come on Louis, we're one of the biggest football teams in the world with near unlimited financial resources!"
LVG "Get me Charlie Austin"
Ed ". "

Simon
I think you got the names of the speakers mixed up.

30 Aug 2015 13:06:33
I keep seeing stories in the media that Hernandez is going to leave. If this is the case, surely we must be bringing in another CF?

30 Aug 2015 15:18:32
Ibra deadline day signing

30 Aug 2015 19:12:10
Not a great fan of Ibra, but let's be honest, he hasn't got much to beat. I've always supported Rooney but once again, he was dire. Would we have lost with Suarez up front?

30 Aug 2015 21:01:00
Ibra is top class. Wins trophies wherever he goes.
