He is a special, special player - but people must not forget that this is the type of player that belongs at Old Trafford. Fergie's transfer policy I think, caused some fans to think we don't deserve real top-bracket players. I don't see why a club of our stature should have second-rates. Why on earth would we be challenging on all fronts with Young and Valencia on the wing? It isn't, and has never been, good enough.

Make a list of the top5/ 10/top 20 players you've seen "light up" OT. How many of them were signed under Fergie? :wenger: Yeah I'm sure Fergie's entire transfer policy limited signing exciting player

Only one in the last 5 years.

We became so desperate for inspiration that we all flung ourselves head first into the 'Januzaj for President' camp. We had been starved. And I was referring to a recent transfer history. The fact is, I could have told you that the likes of Valencia would probably not have been as good as the likes of Robben or Ribery who we could have gone for after selling Ronaldo. We have bought players that clubs of similar stature would not, because 'we're United'. It has culminated in us needing a £200m surgery to bring us up to where 'United' should be.

Because LvG has said previously that his captains play the majority of matches.

Providing there form doesnt drop off a cliff. Rooney captain or not wont be playing if his performances dont match those of the other players. Captain is just a black band to me. Should should have 11 men on the pitch who give there all and dont need the direction of a fellow pro to spur them on esp when that player is not performing. If he shouts anything at Di Maria...he'll prob get laughed at.

I agree!
 
Madrid really are muppets of the highest order. Does anyone know what the Madrid fans think about all this?.

Yeah, they're not happy by all accounts.

Sunday morning, Spanish sports daily AS captured the mood of madridistas with a front cover which read: "Saving Private Di Maria". In an accompanying survey, it added, 83.5 per cent of fans wanted him to stay. But by Sunday afternoon, he had packed his bags and said goodbye.

City : Hart : De Gea is better.
Arsenal : WS : De Gea is better.
Chelsea : Courtois : Debatable. Before Thibaut came along De Gea was excellent for Atletico, helping them to a UEFA Cup and Supercup at age 20, Spain to the final of the U17 World Cup, won the U17 Euro, the U21 Euro twice, has already won the league with United. He is definitely more accomplished as of now. Better ? We'll find out this season now that they're in the same leagues.
Liverpool : Mignolet : De Gea is better.
Atletico : Moya : De Gea is better.
Madrid : Casillas : De Gea is better.
Barcelona : Ter Stegen : This dude is definitely not better. Dunno why someone would say that.
Bayern : Neuer : Better tha De Gea by a wide margin as of now.
Dortmund : Nope.
Juventus : Buffon : All time great but has regressed massively. De Gea is better.
PSG : Sirigu : De Gea is better.
Monaco : Stekelenberg/ Subasic : De Gea is better.

He's also better than Handanovic, Lloris, Leno, Ochoa, Moraes etc.

This. The only player better than De Gea is Neuer but there is no shame in that, he will go on to be one of the greats. There is also the debate vs Courtois which in my eyes is 50/50 but we'll not know for a few years because its unfair to judge De Gea with such a bad defense in front of him. So as it stands being 2nd/3rd in the world at 23 y/o is an immense achievement.

Something crazy like 90%+ of them voted against selling him. They loved him and know he was a massive part in their 10th CL success, as much of a transfer muppet club they are they're also football fans so know how good players are for a team/system.

'You can quote me on that' type of post:
ADM is going to be on the shortlist for the ballon d'or next year. At United he'll be the big man and he'll thrive on that. I somehow feel like the shackles have come off now. He'll score the most goals he's ever scored in a single season if he's played on the wing as I really think that's his best position even though he was still amazing in midfield. He's just at the peak of his powers and we saw that last night.

United have a fantastic squad that won't compete for top 4. If you can get your summer signings clicking in time you will win the league.
Di Maria will really lift the team and make everyone play better, which won't be hard considering the quality of players you just bought.

Can't believe he's gone though... This must feel like you guys felt when Ronaldo went the other way. Really gutting.
At least win the title with him, you cnuts. I genuinely wish him all the best. Let's hope you get your heads out of your arses because you have a great coach, great squad, your record buy is on top of his game and only one competition to look at now. You won't get a much better chance to win the league than you have right now.
Get United back where they belong.

Excellent post, couldn't agree more, pity some of us United fans couldn't be more positive, last season has traumatised them

I didn't like you very much, but that was an great post. We are BFFs now. :lol:
 
He could destroy the Premiership in the same way Ronaldo did. He can do almost everything. Talk about bringing the fear factor back.

I'm not sure anybody thinks Lallana is a youngster?
Click to expand...
Indeed. I think people gave that impression when they were referring to England's new young core of players in the summer and including Lallana purely because he had only recently emerged despite being about 25.

Good point, but I just don't see him dropped.
Click to expand...

So fans dont see us switching back to a back 4 as it looks defeatest for LVG. And re Rooney fans dont ever see him dropped regardless. If either of these points is true we dont have a world class manager on our hands at all........yet the same fans who
say the above do believe in LVG. It makes zero sense.

Any chance Madrid will be back in for him for £100m if he tears the PL up? Or will Perez's ego prevent that from ever happening?

One thing I do know is that we can tell the cnuts to do one if they do come back for El Fideo!

Yes. MoneyMay has posted his own highlights (post #815) and there are other versions on previous pages.
