Rival Watch™ 2013/2014

Gallas was a top CB when you got rid to be fair. He would have been sold for more than £6m and also Cole was running down his contract so slightly different circumstance but yeah I know what you mean.

 

Didn't Chelsea, Mourinho and Cole get fines for dodgy dealing too?

 

matth is extremely excited about Utd's latest signing.

are we trying to build the most homo-erotic team
No homo

Want Kross (who's class) and got Herrera for £30m who, from what I've seen is no better than Alberto...
Will admit Shaw is good, very good and the potential to be Englands LB for the next 10-12 years but £30M Plus? Gone made, that's some serious "British" Tax...

 

In fairness they've chased Herrera for a long time so if moyes thought he was good and now van gaal.... Hmmm who is actually doing this buying

It seems to me that shaw is a powerful runner and quite good but he could turn into evra or a Bertrand so it is a risk here. We think he is good but have they bought a bale (makes sense then) and evra (seems expensive) or a Bertrand? (Used as looked good too but then stalled)

Remember lfc paid 17 for Johnson and could still pay 16-20 for Moreno

In any event utd need to get it righ and cb has to be next on their list

 

Moyes was only appointed a year ago

 

long time in football

note that he was approached and rejecte them before feldonkey was bought.

 

Its not a long time for scouting a player though. I'd guess that its probably normal, maybe slightly longer than normal but I would say its a long time #pedantic

 

i reckon utd have been watching players since ferguson days which btw is not the point... merely that at best van gaal rubber stamped a list... suggesting he'll end up looking in august going oh F or he doesn't care who he's got he reckons he can work as long as he's got rvp

 

3 years. Fergie started scouting him. Moyes was useless so ignore him. van gaal knows what hes doing. Hes just bossed a WC group with arguably the worst midfield in the group

 

Proves jack **** UIR, Fergie took Scotland to a bottom of the group finish in the World Cup.

 

do you not count sneidjer, robben or guzman as md?

in any event the spain midfield would be rated higher and chile look good but australia???

 

But with one of the best players in the world playing at his best. ManU have only 1 world class player and he's managed only 2 non-injured seasons in his whole career. You better go an buy Robben if want to stand a chance.

 

Pretty much.

Holland and Van Gal without Robben wouldn't have made it out the group*.

Anything VG does at this WC is irrelevant unless they buy Robben as well.

* exaggerated for dramatic effect

 

It seems that everyone is at it . . . http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/27/aberystwyth-town-win-twitter-with-brilliant-tweet-trolling-manchester-united-4777602/

 

Weve just bought that club and sold it for pet food

 

Lol. The Welshies on here won't like that one bit. Luv will start a insurrection and Matth, with conflicting Welsh and Man Utd loyalties, will give in to inevitable madness (if he hasn't already) and commit seppuku with his traditional welsh Sgian-dubh.

 

Liverpool legend roy hodgeson backs shaw to shine at united.

Say itv. Enjoy that one lads

 

Well if he does half as well as Konchesky...

Woy, the man who can't get anything wight and gets sacked more times than Santa's yearly toy deliveries.
