    Louis Van Gaal

    Yeah I agree, to be fair I didn't say it was drastically improved, just that he'd changed it. However we are in a great position now and the football is improving...

    Michael Carrick was immense this weekend, going to thrive under Van Gaal.

    Louis Van Gaal

    Well a few months into his time at the club and I'm very happy with him. He's managed to change the footballing identity of the club in 3 1/2 months, and while the results have been erratic, we are now in a very good position to mount a claim for 2nd/3rd, that's after playing City, Chelsea...

    Manchester United

    Busquets didn't join the youth set up until 2005 if I'm not mistaken? When he was 17, yet everyone here considers him as a youth product... Pedro also when he was 17, also claimed to be part of the youth set up, and I think they consider themselves to be part of it. To say Januzaj isn't apart...

    Sorry, but you're talking rubbish. The problem is he's been injured far too much, when he's fit he's a very good centre half.

    Evans has actually dramatically improved in the air. He also isn't nearly as bad with physical strikers, but it is still a weakness.

    Louis Van Gaal

    Was just wondering on your thoughts on Van Gaal, myself I'm pretty happy with the appointment, he's the best we had available to us, proven success rate, although comes with a bit of a history of falling out with big egos, which does not bode well for Rooney :lol:

    Manchester United

    ah, i wasn't saying Rooney should be starting as 9, but merely should be considered as it, LVG will not play him there, I'm almost certain of that, he'll recognise how much better technically Mata is, Rooney will compete with RVP for the striker role, which can only be a good thing as he's...

    Mata will play as the #10, Rooney is a 9, simple as. We will sign a CB and another midfielder, I'm confident of that.

    Manchester United

    I guess Milan is debatable, as the guy said above, there isn't really a way to judge, I'd say there is a group of clubs who can all have a legitimate claim to being 'biggest in the world' Real, Barca, Bayern, United would be my 4 in no order...

    Manchester United

    In what way are Juve and Milan bigger clubs? Juve have achieved more domestically, Milan more in Europe! But they are absolutely nowhere near the same size of clubs, I would consider Liverpool bigger than both of those! More to being a big club than winning titles - History, Following etc, and...

    Looks like Vermaelen is actually going to happen, if LVG wants him I am happy to give it a shot, don't see it as an upgrade to what we have already. If there is any weight in the Vidal rumours I might just be the happiest fan in the world. From a midfield of Carrick & Fellaini/Cleverley to...

    Thiago Translantara

    I dont understand that deals have broken down in the past, it means everyone is talking shit. If the news is there to report, they report it, and in the Past Delaney has been reliable. So i tend to believe what he writes. We pulled out of the Torres deal btw - Fergie didnt see im as a 'True...

    TBF, I thought the same, until i saw Delaney tweet it, he's as reliable as they come in regards to United.

    Thiago Translantara

    tbff tough, the main reason for that is the reason he's (possibly) leaving Barca in the first place..

    Wish he'd hurry up and sign the damn contract, ----Carrick-----Thiago--- ---------Kagawa------ Has a nice ring to it...

    Premier League 2013/14

    on the other hand DavidVilano1, you can always expect a scouser to agree with you on whatever way your slating Moyes. TBH, Moyes hasnt had the best record at signing Strikers, but in oter areas hes been fairly successful, so its a bit of a mixed bag, like all managers, dont really see why its...

    Thiago Translantara

    Forgive me, but how does going to United (hopefully) mean he's killing his career? One of the biggest clubs in the world, who clearly has a place for him in the side, regular top level football cannot be a bad thing.

    Thiago Translantara

    I didnt say he should cheer him at united? I can understand people being unhappy at a player of that talent leaving, but to hate him for not seeing that he is 'barca's future' despite atm, there being no signs of this being the case I dont hate Pogba, tbh he made the right choice, I dont cheer...
