In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
"My god is my cock hard!"I keep thinking about all the trips Moyes was making to watch games, last season. All the pictures of him talking to various agents at the Allianz. If you accept that he laid the groundwork for Shaw and Herrara, maybe there's another one still to be revealed.
No idea who though...
No idea who though...
Indeed. Imagine what would happen if we'd kept Moyesie...
Illarramendi as someone said on the previous page would be interesting. Madrid don't need him anymore after signing Kroos.
Moyes probably imagines what would have happened if we'd kept him. Every. Single. Day.
Still reckon we should have given him this transfer window and up until Christmas.
Memphis Depay maybe...
Well that's another discussion altogether so we won't keep it here, I'll just say that it'd take 4-6 years for us to recover if we allowed him another season. Van Gaal will find it tough enough after just a year of David Moyes.
I didn't know there still were Moyes apologists around.
Can you really not see the difference between the way we are playing now compared to under Moyes?
Even though we are only in pre - season, I'm actually looking forward to seeing us play. Last year I was going to games like a condemned man.
Only pre season. Lets play some competitive games before we label Van Gaal a success here.
I said myself It is only pre - season. However, if you can't appreciate the difference between the dross last year and the fast pass&move football we are seeing after a couple of weeks under van Gaal, then you need smacking round the head with a "Der!-stick"
Everytime we play this pre season Im legit excited afterwards. The formation intrigues me. The way he's already getting improvements out of individuals is very encouraging. The level of obsessive planning and attention to detail is reassuring.
Last season the friendlies were tumescent and inspiring apart from good showings by a few of the young lads who then never got a chance. This year you get the impression that if the likes of Blackett and James play better than more senior players, LVG would actually stick with them.
Been loving pre season so far. Part of me wants to not sign anyone else just to see how good a job LVG could do purely by coaching our kids and so called poorer players.
Spot on.
I know Tyler ' s family, and last year he was convinced that he would be shipped out. He wasn't happy at all. I reckon he will be over the moon now!
It looks like everyone, regardless of stature, are benefitting from the training.
I think we are going to see better football this year, than we saw under SAF for a few years. We may not be as efficient, but I hope to be entertained.
This is what van Gaal does best - he puts faith into young players and helps them develop beyond expectation. The way he had transformed Schweinsteiger and Muller into players they are today makes me believe that we are yet to see the best from quite a few players - Cleverley and Welbeck among them.
That's the name I was going to drop in here as well. I think he'd be a great fit in that midfield.
Unfortunately Zenit would probably ask too much, considering what they paid for him.
He take a "Lovren" on them...
Yup. He's a training ground manager not a chequebook manager. Far more likely to want to develop Blackett, Cleverley and Welbeck than splurge on Hummels, Vidal and Reus.
Antonio Candreva to give us an option at RWB that can cross and stay fit!
Kovacic, Varane or Subotic
In for Xhaka and Ogbonna, yes?
I apologise for nothing, but my inability to white text.
I see a team with some fresh faces, less old legs, with a new inspiring manager playing the sort of football I've been wanting them to play for about three seasons. I'm as excited about the new season as I have been for a long time.
Yes. The old legends, Vidic, Evra and Rio were definetly important in their own way and true reds, but perhaps this is what the youngsters need to step it up and develop even further. As far as I have seen, the likes of Smalling, Young and Kagawa looks quite a bit better, even if it is early to judge from a couple of games. Also the rest of the team looks sharp. This might of course have something to do with the entire situation as there has been some new faces in the squad and in the coaching team, but the was also true last season. I honestly don't want to see more players leave at this time, but rather given the chance when it matters. I have faith in the current squad + 1 or 2 defensive players.

Last year was rough. It was laborious to get out to a pub to watch MUFC play prehistoric footie and lose, followed by incessant WUM's in these forums with the common chorus of "Give Moyes time!"
If Vidal is a no go, Witsel would be a superb fit for CM/CDM, however those dickheads at Zenit payed €40 million for him in 2012.
I usually drink in Chorlton before the game, and there were times I just wanted to stay in the pub.
Genuinely excited about the new season.
We should just buy Iturraspe. His buyout is €40million & he's 25.
Mata (26), Herrera (24) & Iturraspe (25) would mean our midfield is sorted for the next 5 years.

John Stones of Everton.
I can see a signing from germany. someone like Luis gustavo or 1 of the benders.
Anderson was totally out of the blue as the thread on here shows:
Hindsight on football forums is the mother of all hilarity isn;t it? Reminds me of the original Bebe thread.
I wonder how long it took for Charlene to go flaccid.
What about Wilshere from Arsenal?
Leon Goretzka
Ron Vlaar
He'd be my pick.
Generally if we sign a player, it is far from out the blue.
Worryingly, we don't seem to be close or on the cusp of anything. Would be shocked if we did sign a player out of nowhere.

It is amazing how many big name players at big clubs are listed in this thread. Really we would struggle to sign those type of players out of the blue.
I know it's not going to happen, but Schneiderlin or Lars Bender would be great signings.
