David De Gea

Yes. It would be good if we don't get Cortois or Ter Stegen
His contract was extended to 2018.....De Gea is one of the few top players we have so I can't see us selling him but he would be the perfect keeper for Barca because of his skills on the ball......

A bit off topic, but...
In the BPL,I like Manchester united the most, and I hope you to succeed, and don't lose your
star players. As I read somewhere on the net Moyes has stated he needs to change the team
completely and I don't know whether or not he's capable of doing such thing.
I watched your game against spurs and noticed that your problems are:
Right back. Smalling is not good enough to play there.
Centre back.
Right midfielder/winger. And CM. If you get minimum 4 quality players you're ready
to challenge Arsenal, City or any team in England.

Problem is this season is essentially a write off due to last summer's "business", we have a 27.5m lump who did not have a pre season with us and is no better than what we currently have in cm which makes him about as worthwhile as a bag of sand. Cant do anything major in January, and so morale is low and along with it we have become even more predictable than last year, pass to Valencia who crosses the ball for a throw in 85% of the time. It should not be a surprise to anyone that as soon as we make an actual central pass we score (Tottenham).

He needs to be the right man to change the team and style or we are royally fucked. Its only the emergence of Januzaj that's a positive.

Moyes is the only person whom should be blamed. Since he has worked
with Fellaini for some years he should have realized that Fellaini is effective when
plays behind a CM as a CDM.
He could buy no one and after collecting the money and being able to afford a much neededed
sort of player he could buy him. (I assume money wasn't the problem. He couldn't fined the player.)

Considering Januzaj's age he is one of the good players that are that young, maybe even the best.

Fellaini is a good utility player if you have a good team and United don't have one at the moment. Fellaini would be a great backup and plan B because he can play almost everywhere from CDM to ACM. United's squad, overall, simply isn't good enough. Only a couple of world class players like Van Persie, Rooney, De Gea, Carrick, ... and too many random ones. They'll have to rebuild the squad over the summer.

A quick search suggests that your club is set to offer him a 2-year extension (and that was couple of months ago). There has not been an official pen to paper, yet.

Not that I think he is a viable option. I just find it adorable how manutd fans are quick to react whenever they read DDG and Barca in the same sentence. :D

On the subject of Moyes, he just looks out of place at Utd. His interviews are agonizing to the viewers, he lacks the appeal or the pulling power to attract big names, tactically suspect, his discourse suggest he does not score high on the motivational side either. An available Moyes, would not be recruited by any title aspiring club, except Man Utd.

Someone like De Boer, and Laud, whilst lacking experience, have a footballing vision, and philosophy that is evident in how their teams play. They are well known and respected amongst the football fraternity, to bring in quality players even with limited funds, and either would've been a better appointment, IMO, even if risky. Though I understand both are committed to their respective clubs, but they could be looked at for future replacement.

I only said Laudrup LOL because most Swansea supporters are fed up of him. But yeah he is foreign and has rich history of elegance of footballing artistry so he must be brilliant automatically.

Swansea played Laudrup's "vision" much better under Martinez and Rodgers.

I know a lot of them like to discredit his work at Swansea by always bringing up his predecessors' contributions. But Laud's vision was there to see even in his Getafe side, Swansea came much later. In the current season, he's lost his star player due to injury, and competing in the Europa League, is taking a toll on his squad. Bringing a trophy in his debut season and doing so with style, can raise the expectations of the fans, but given the resources he has, he's done the best he could. They could still finish Top 10 going forward.
Now I'm not claiming he's perfect, but he has his merits, from star appeal to his football philosophy. I mean would Reus like to play for a Laud's ManUtd or Moyes'. I doubt Reus even knows what sort of football Moyes advocates, or to expect of him.

Luckily i think DDG going to Barca is definitely not possible in the next year or so, you have to recruit a first choice keeper in the Summer on top of that there is no way he would/we would let him leave this year. Then there is the price tag, he is the 3rd most expensive GK as a 21 year old and has since gone on to likely be the best keeper in the league, certainly last year - and is set to become first/second choice for national team.

If he wanted to go back to spain it would suck a huge one, but he does not get the recognition he deserves playing for us, the ABU mentality is mental so i would not begrudge him honestly.

I didn't know Demichelis went to Atletico first for free then to City for 5 Millions (€)
Brilliant business. 5000000 € out of nowhere.

Did Tim Sherwood really call Adebayor a warrior, I can think of many word to describe him but that one is way down at the bottom of the list.

:lol: I think I have an idea of what your list looks like and it probably is very similar to my own list. Words like "arrogant", "lazy", "moneywhore" and "betrayer" I think are way more suitable.
