I agree its not about the name, what I meant was Fergie always built a team whereas LVG doesn't seem to know how he wants to play. That means he doesn't look like he is building anything, he's just collecting players he likes and chucking them together
(obviously, I'm exaggerating)

Maybe you'd like to take @Tobes bet then?
He wants a balanced team, therefore he wants two fast attacking wide forwards with a fast attacking striker, if you look at the way he has tried to balance the midfield and defence you will appreciate the way he is trying to build the team.
He wants to play 433![]()
??
Don't do much betting but if I did would never bet on somebody else's judgement or opinion.
Oh **** the [HASHTAG]#meltdown[/HASHTAG] got even worse:
“I am the victim, the fellow players are the victims, the club is the victim and that is why the transfer period has to change,” he said. “He is the best goalkeeper we have had the last three years and in two years he was nominated by the fans as the best player at the club. Do you think the trainer-coach wants him to leave? I don’t think so.”
“Manchester United always have to pay,” Van Gaal said. “We have to pay for all the players a certain amount, and what have Real Madrid offered? We are asking money and they have to pay the money. In the last few years Manchester United has paid a lot of money and we never received a lot of money for our players.”

Quite right too, we have let players go for peanuts because they weren't part of our plans, de Gea obviously is and so Madrid will have to pay the asking price if they want him.
That would suggest that LVG thinks De Gea is going to leave once Real offer what he wants (or near as)

What United want would be nearer the truth
From de Gea's point, I think if he was sure he wanted to leave it would have happened two months ago. There is still a lot of uncertainty there.

I hope you do stand your ground as I don't like seeing the two Spanish clubs bullying folks to get their own way (although its slightly pleasant when its you guys). However, De Gea also only has one year left so you're not exactly in a position to barter either. You may well have a asking price and refuse to sell if its not met but De Gea doesn't have to sign a new deal either so could walk for free next year.
Its quite a similar position to what we had with Suarez when he wanted to go to Arsenal except Suarez had two years left at the time.
IMO, De Gea either goes now or he stays and signs a new deal with a release clause in meaning he goes next summer.
I think van Gaal knows what he wants for sure but I am wondering what he is at and how the interactions are working.
433..... Maybe. ... 2 defensive players in front of the back 4 for sure. He is a guy who wants 0 on the score sheet first then will see what he can do.
He's not adverse to tossing it long obviously so for me it's mostly about work rate and results and he doesn't much care who he hurts or how he gets them.
Funnily enough he seems to think he can drag guys out of treatment and they will be fine as well so I am wondering what will occur this season
