Not sure you and LvG and Eddy realize that waiting for a kid with potential to come good is not preferable to a nailed on proven game changer.:biggrin:

The whole football knowlege on this board tonight has been lowered to Astro`s level, is this down to fear/worry?

<laugh> please educate us by explaining the role of Di Maria in the current Man Utd team, including an example team sheet (assuming no injures) demonstrating Van Gaal's formation and tactics <ok>

No guarantees in football but we now have a very capable team. A brand new midfield so no more static zombie passing. Players like di maria and falcao. Not too much to be unhappy about.

A vidal or similar would have been brilliant but it would have pushed many of our rivals overboard.

And we were right, second most assists in the league despite playing less games and 3 goals.
Nobody (even the [HASHTAG]#footballgenious[/HASHTAG]) predicted he would turn out to be a **** with no spine.
 
Not fussed with the net spend. In terms of judging the team and manager, gross is all that matters.

He's been given £200-300m to spend on this team.

Manchester United say they were not at fault for the collapse of goalkeeper David De Gea's move to Real Madrid.
Real released a statement saying they did everything they could to complete the £29m deal of the 24-year-old, but missed the deadline by two minutes.
But United say they submitted all the paperwork two minutes before 23:00 BST.
The Red Devils added: "The club is delighted that its fan-favourite double player of the year, David De Gea, remains a Manchester United player."


Anyone submitting something two minutes before a deadline is a moron, especially when the window is open a month, and the move has been obvious for a year.

We started vs Stoke in May with...

Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Lucas, Henderson, Allen; Coutinho, Lallana; Gerrard

Our team now is probably

Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Can, Henderson, Milner; Coutinho, Firmino; Benteke

So arguably this summer has been a 'reasonable' success - but frustrating because there's still no clear philosophy or enough put into the defence.

Shame how quickly credit isn't given by fans. Yeah West Ham was a ****up but Johnson -> Clyne is probably the best defensive improvement in the league.

I also think out philosophy will become clear 2nd half of the season. Our start is horrific and demands a more pragmatic approach.
 
Master yoda is right....

we have improved year on year.. ther eis no question that we have addressed RB, we have worked on CM and we addressed bad issues up fornt. sterling was poison nomatter how talented or not. we have nobody else.

we now have a team. we have to get working harder and develop a new style.

I think peronslly lovern is not as bad as some make out. he is what he is. but he seems to be poison to rodgers and a stick to be beaten with.

Firmino has not got going.. entiehr has depay.. but we seem to be going nuts over one loss.

have we imroved? yes? did we **** away two seasons of transfer windows before this one... yes..

the issue was last summer and the summer before not this summer.

alberto, aspas, ilori, moses... and the list goes on and on.... last year lovern and lallana.

We've not done enough in prior years but thats the past. this summer we have improved... but we wee a genuine 6th/7th side last year. this year we have imporved to probably 5th best...

thats what the issue is people want 4th best.

our last ten games gives hope for a really strong finish for sure.

no thats a starting point, i want us to be at the top again where we belong, we are a big enough club and have had the money'to compete, just have amateurish manager and owners.
