The big hoo haw on social media by the club.
Roles reversed....Gerrard leaves Liverpool in the summer, the club e-mail people and post statuses on social media about a "big announcement" ....Cut to their FB page and the big announcement is that Henderson is their number 8....The post is accompanied with a picture of the number 8 shirt hung in their dimly lit dressing room, with a spotlight on the jersey.
The RAWK thread on here would explode.
It was quite cringy
The dressing room thing, was for all the new players, right ?
And if i'm not mistaken the club communicated about Januzaj new number because of the fans who wanted to purchase a Januzaj's Shirt.
Doesn't sound like a cringefest to me, sounds like an announcement. Pure hyperbole on your part.
No it was for Januzaj....I'd log onto FB and find it and post it here but, not arsed
Yeah right OK.
So, if Liverpool do this in the summer, I trust you won't be laughing your bollix off, saying "Awh typical dippers"
Good.
Can he not do a job in the middle for us as opposed to out wide? He has the physical attributes to play there and surely enough technical ability to adapt if given a chance.
Yeah, except all the other shirts were darkened out and Januzaj's was in the middle, all lit up.
Sorry but, it was strange and cringy to me...
The "big announcement" and all this build up to it was alien to me. It's a shirt number! Contrast this to when Ronaldo got the number 7 jersey.
That's what i thought it's a Nike ad, probably also pushed by Chevrolet.
First LVG has ruined his career and now he clearly doesn't rate him? You do seem to enjoy peddling the doomsday prophecies, eh? And I'd say there is a pretty good reason why Januzaj can't start ahead of Falcao, and that is that he just isn't as good as him at the moment (and let's not forget Januzaj's rather forgetful displays during that run of games he got a few months back.)
I still think he has a good future ahead of him, but he's clearly suffering through the not-uncommon phenomenon known as the sophomore slump. I'm not sure that you can put the blame for that on LVG's shoulders, any more than you could Falcao's struggle to hit the back of the net or the inability of Evans to recover his confidence.
FFS... How LvG's ruined Januzaj ?LvG 's tried him in many positions, not working so far that's for sure but it's somehow all LvG's fault not Januzaj himself ?? He had one good season but if people think a 19 year old kid could just walk into this team, you seriously need to get your head checked.
Maybe Moyesy will come looking for a loan deal...
We need to start playing him and having him start games, but it's also up to him to perform and play at a high level. LVG have him plently of chances during the beginning of the season in which he started about 5/6 games in a row but wasn't pulling his weight.
He's only 19 and a brilliant talent, I really want to see him develop into a world class player and I'm sure LVG has big plans for him, he needs to start performing at the level we know he's capable of, (Sunderland away 2013), (Newcastle away 2014) (Swansea Home 2014) for example.

You're misremembering here, his first run wasn't until end of October and he started 4 in a row with the latter two not even anywhere near full games.
He's not had the chance to play himself into form, he's young he can't be expected to always show consistency.
Can anyone actually see a place for him in LvGs preferred system? I have the same concerns with Lingard, they'll need to go out on loan and hope there's a place for width next season.
Yeah we shouldn't expect him to be consistent every game but I definitely want him to show his best form more often because he's capable of some very special things.
Yeah but Lingard was picked by LVG before his injury so he must have been impressing, really want some of our good youth players to get runs in the team now that we are getting more settled, Lingard is a very good player and I'm sure he will get more games when he's fit again.
Most likely why he was left out. Probably not in the right frame of mind.
Had a Emoji of a broken heart as the text.
i can't see what you posted, but if it's his instagram account then yes that's probably why. he posted two photos in the last day of his mate, so that's probably why he was omitted.
We are not doing him any favors. Destroying the kids confidence.
Either send him on loan, or better change the god awful formation to 4231 and play him on the left.

Think his exclusion yesterday had more to do with losing a friend then LvG not rating him. To be fair, I would probably not be in the right frame of mind either.
I don't believe in the loan system. I have absolutely no faith in it. To be fair, the U21's is really poor at the moment as well so there aren't many options but I just don't think loaning players works.
What kind of success have we had with loaning players in the past? I honestly can't think of any success stories. It looked like it could have worked for Evans and Cleverley at the time, but it didn't. Beckham made 5 appearances for Preston, wouldn't even count that.
If Januzaj goes abroad, he'll learn nothing. Everything is different. The pace of the game, the physicality, the tactics. If he joins a Premier League team, he'll only end up at a side who are in a relegation battle, playing with a completely different mentality than we would be. It could break him into the Prem a bit, but has it really worked in the past?
My only hope for Januzaj is that LvG switches up to a 4-3-3 formation next season when he gets the players he wants and then he can continue his development here.

He'l never get games in the 3-5-2. I dont see us moving to a 4-3-3 this season so his best hope is that we atleast move to a diamond where he can be employed in the middle 3.
United play best using 4-4-2 with 2 wingers and 2 strikers. Its a proven formulae for us.
Wary of the source but worrying all the same. Watch him turn into a star somewhere else now.
Should just be loaned out, not sure why we haven't sent him somewhere already to be honest.

Ian Herbert said the same earlier this month, with PSG mentioned as possible suitors.
Feck off are we selling him, he's going to be a brilliant player. Absolutely pathetic if he is let go.
He won't be sold, Giggs wouldn't allow it.
Surely just a loan deal? We would be absolutely insane to let him go permanently.
I'd be absolutely pissed if van Gaal even thought about selling him, I'd have van Gaal sacked for even mentioning it.
Still don't see the sheer panic that so many people have over him not playing. Yes, it would be better if he was but he has featured this season, not many 19 year olds make 10 appearances (I'm guessing he is around that so far) a season for United, he has made that in a half a season.
He still has plenty of time. Not playing 30 games a season isn't going to ruin his career. I know we are all scarred from the Pogba case but from the outlook, this isn't the same situation.

LVG can leave before Januzaj, as ridiculous as it sounds.
As someone else said, surely Giggs wouldn't allow it. But everything everyone else has said suggests he has a great attitude...
I'd be worried if that was the case. You go from giving him Giggs' shirt to binning him inside of five or six months? Bit of a mess.
Maybe his attitude is poor, but you'd think a loan would be the wisest option.
Club is in a weird auld state it has to be said

What does the sun article say anyway? Bloody pay wall.
As much as I agree with the thinking behind what you have said. No decision is made by Giggs. The club, the directors and the manager will decide on a players future, not Giggs.
Sure they might seek advice on a few things from Giggs but if van Gaal didn't want him (which I'm positive is rubbish), nothing Giggs will want or say will impact on van Gaal's decision.
