Definite need for a striker, if only as competition to Rooney. Rojo in for Blind is a must. Schweinsteiger looks ponderous and crocked, takes him an age to turn and get the ball away, Carrick is in far better shape than him at 35. I think van Gaal will get it right but a striker before Tuesday is a must. Rooney will get injured at some point and Hernandez wouldnât hit the proverbial barn door at present.
Still blaming Moysie for everything. Youâre like a broken record. 8 of Man Uâs starting 11 today where Van Gaal signings.
LVG happy to start a season with one injury prone and badly out of form recognised striker in the squad. A fucking spoofer. All the money theyâve spent and they are dogshit to watch. RVP, Falcao and kid nâplay gone out the door and nobody brought in. Hoofing it up to Fellaini seems to be the only option when they need a goal. Jokeshop.
Let it all out, pal.
Iâm seething, pal. Fuck off Van Gaal. The emperor has no clothes. A bad weekend for a United, Liverpool and Spurs fanatic.
Then why did he keep him
Is that photo shopped? Itâs brilliant.
Jesus rojo has put on a few pounds over the summer.
Unbelievable scenes. Fergieâs last squad; May '13. Bit hasty on DDG, mind you.
Another ÂŁ36 million to be lashed out seemingly to make Anthony Martial the costliest teenager in football history.
Another ÂŁ20M in add ons as well Monaco are reporting.
The highest scoring teenager across the âBig 5â leagues in Europe last year. Absolutely marvellous that United have trumped Chelsea, Arsenal, Barca and Real for the hottest commodity in football. Every chance the transfer fee will turn out to be a snip. Well done Ed Woodward.
Will be picked up by a continental club for a handy 10-15mill in a couple of years.
The next Freddy adu, Seth johnson or Bruno cheyrou
David Bellion perhaps.
De Gea might even sign a new contract. Another year and a round 35 million next summer would be excellent. Plus a full year to scout for a proper first choice. Still baffled as to why we ever signed victor valdes.

Why would he sign a new contract, making himself more expensive to Madrid and costing himself a massive signing on bonus?
