DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Well no of course not but that's not a worry for me since our defence and midfield have been improved greatly (which makes the LVG Out and LVG is ruining Man United comments look so silly) but if we were to get two strikers I wouldn't be so worried, you'd could tell Hernandez's heart wasn't in it anymore for United so perhaps it was for the best he left and hopefully Adnan's departure leads to some more game time for Andres Pereira 1 Quote
AjSim Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I wouldn't say he's ruining you, just you won't find another Ferguson anytime soon and that's what's gonna be hard for this generation of Utd fans to accept, just as it was for ours with Shanks/Dalglish (first spell). Rate him or not he's only gonna be there for another season after this one tops...then it'll be someone elses turn to live in the shadow of ol' purplenose for a while.The game has changed a lot from the 80's/90's and not for the better either...we may be the most competitive league in Europe but I'd rather see local lads playing for their teams with PASSION any day of the week. Even though I'm as far detached from a Utd fan as you can get I had the utmost respect for the youth Fergie brought through for you guys, Utd fans blaming him for your demise are beyond help.Anyway...who do ya reckon is gonna be signing of the season?

DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 For me the signing of the season will be either Ayew or Darmian 1 Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Another plot twist I think Victor Valdes is staying at United 1 Quote
Aero Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Great, no navas and no £29m.... But at least there will still be someone to keep Valdez company in the stands now that lindegard I away 1 Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I see him back in the starting line up now, just in time for the derby too Aero 1 Quote
Aero Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Knowing he's supposed to be in Madrid, his heart won't be in it. Be wiser sticking with Romero. You's need to let him go in January to get any money at all for him... And if he plays in the CL that value will be even less. 1 Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 We'll see, now there's 5 months until the January window maybe he'll change his mind....or maybe he'll grow to hate United you never know! 1 Quote
Aero Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'm guessing the latter. Van gaal seems to generally hate all keepers as it is lol 1 Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I think the Valdes relationship is back on track though! 1 Quote
delete Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Cannot believe how disappointing this deadline day has been lol. Even though I'm a Chelsea fan, I was hoping that Wenger had something up his sleeve and was gonna sign Cavani or someone... But nope, ridiculous. I remember reading an article that said he had permission from the board to buy anyone he wants (Excluding Messi I think), Arsenal really need a world class forward that can score goals for them and Welbeck and Giroud can't do that.Hate to sound like one of 'those' fans, but Manchester City's transfers have been ridiculous. Yeah they're some great players (Especially Otamendi and de Bruyne... I don't rate Sterling yet), but it's just too much money man. Edited September 1, 2015 by Tamer Quote
AjSim Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 An initial £36M rising to £58.7M...for a 19 year old with 15 goals in 74 games! Officially the most baffling transfer EVER. I follow most European leagues (and MLS lol) closely too thanks to a bit of a gambling habit and can honestly say Martial* has never once featured on a betslip of mine...pure madness.*Now watch the little cunt score a hat-trick against us on his debut!

But everything else not in the slightest, I remember seeing him play a few times last year and aside from being pretty rapid he was absolutely nothing special, kinda reminds me of Wellbeck tbh. Rooneys rep/potential was pretty well known locally long before he signed for you...bit like Okera Simmonds for us atm. 19 is barely even classed as a developmental age these days, which in itself is just crazy. I actually feel sorry for the kid having that price tag around his neck. Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 no?Well at the time RooRoo scored 15 goals for Everton, and we paid 26 million for him? and now Martial has scored 15 goals overall and we've paid 36 million for him Quote
Aero Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 you're right, he's scored 15 goals so the exact same thing is going to happen Quote
AjSim Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That's just stats...break it down a bit - Rooney had done all that in less appearances, at a younger age, in a superior league for a (then) inferior team.I do think you'll have an absolute worldy on your hands in Depay though, if van Gaal doesn't completely alienate him before he leaves...he was the one player I really wanted/hoped we'd sign when it became clear Sterling was leaving. Very happy with Firmino though, he suits our high pressing style superbly and is my (admittedly rose tinted) tip to be the signing of the season, along with Cabaye...still can't believe no-one more established came in for him, great player. Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Oh of course I'm not saying he's going to do a Rooney form wise, it's just the situation of the transfer reminds me so much of the Rooney transferWasn't Cabaye injury prone at PSG? 1 Quote

Plus he's only 29 and already been tried and tested over here, really surprised Arsenal didn't swoop for him tbh. Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Well Arsenal aren't exactly transfer geniuses now are they Quote
AjSim Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Well Arsenal aren't exactly transfer geniuses now are theyBack in the day Wenger was so canny with his transfers it was untrue...almost everyone he signed seem to turn to gold, it's almost like he's scared to spend money now in case he (still) fails.Still 17 consecutive years in the Champions league...he must be doing something at least moderately right Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 He's still the specialist in failure 1 Quote
