Oh and andy mitten has been shown up this window. He said we felt like we were close to signing hummels and his Vidal stuff was proven bollocks in a day.
 
I really fecking hope we don't sign de Jong.
He's not exactly a muppet type signing but he'd fit in really well IMO. He's very good as the defensive shield and is better at it then anyone else we have, bar Carrick, but he's 3 years younger. A player like him would be perfect to let Herrera do his thing next to him. Probably wouldn't be expensive at all either.
 
Delighted with this. We need a more static holding midfielder to get the best out of the dynamism of Herrera anyway.
we do not need a static midfielder, we have lots of defesive midfielders that dont move, we need a defensive midfielder, with some mobility, a lars bender or a clasie

I said all along that he's nothing but a supporter like the rest of us. A nice lad who hears the odd bit of gossip here and there. But no-one listened to me. No one :(
 
I'm ok with not buying him, just think we badly need one midfielder that is world class like Vidal. Since Kroos seemed not to be the right one either, I wonder who is left. Let's see if LVG really goes for a superstar

From here on in I'm just going to assume that any post you start with 'Delighted' is a wum

Yep, he's defo on a wind up all of the time and I haven't even been here that long to notice.

I knew we'd never land Vidal and don't particulary care either way. But 'delighted' at not landing one the best players in the world is rubbish!

I just think we should be aiming much higher.
 
It's more likely that we were never interested in him or that we couldn't get the deal done than it is that we turned him down. That just didn't happen.

The idea that we need to sign someone like Vidal/Kroos to finish higher than sixth is equally ridiculous. Liverpool nearly won the league with a midfield three of Gerrard, Allen and Henderson. I'd take a three of De Jong, Herrera and Mata over that every day of the week (and De Jong is probably our last choice for that position). We're in a much better position than you seem to think.

Are you just shoehorning Mata in as a centre mid to suit your point? I'm not sure I ever saw Liverpool start with those 3 either.
 
Next target so! A holding midfielder who's got a physical presence. Take a punt on Strootman now and see if it pays off?

I didn't say he was a central midfielder but instead that he'd be a part of a midfield three (which he would, just as the most advanced).

I saw Liverpool start with those three plenty of times as well and they did alright.
 
So, Juve just lost to a team from the sixth division in Italy or something like that. Tevez, Llorente, Giovinico and Ogbonna were starters. Some debut for Allegri. I don't know if Vidal's coming here or not but I certainly wouldn't like to stay and play for that clueless clown.
 
I really don't get suicidal mood in here. From the start of this saga i don't believe anything what english press say because they know nothing. They are so retarded that they say it is off becouse we say so to them despite the likes of TS and GdS reporting we made a bit same day. If there were nothing in this Vidal would say he is staying at Juve a month ago. And there will be none reports from tuttosport who are Juve's PR machine.

English press said a week or less before Shaw signed that the deal is off and jumped on Bilbao tweet saying they decline our bid and Herrera signed the same day. We stopped talking to the press. Ogden, Ducker and Mitten know nothing. Moyes or someone else was leaking things to them but that obviously stopped.

Don't panic people :)

It's not what we're saying to the press that concerns me, it's Vidal almost laughing at the thought of signing for us.
 
I'm glad that this thread can finally be put to bed. It was all getting very tedious.
yeah thats going to happen vidal could sign for another club, and thier would still be fans convinced it a smoke screen and he defiantly coming, you think a little think like him denying it is going to put them of?
 
Sorry but this "LVG turned it down", thing that's been trotted out a few times is such a complete load of garbage. Great excuse.

They ain't coming here. We haven't got CL football and it's biting us in the ass trying to sign these big names.

That's the spirit mate. To be honest, I feel the same way too
 
It is a huge headache when not only do we need a CM, but we need more depth at the back, july 25th, and its becoming a concern our lack of depth in defence, and the lack of quality in the engine room, it could be a long long season. A very unbalanced squad that will see a few on the bench

CL football never helped us sign the big names either tho!

That interview was a joke. It is likely that he laugh at the journalist who expected to get that kind of info. And if we are at laughing in this video he was laughing until the question if he will go to Manchester. After that question he tried hard to get rid of journalist and don't laugh anymore...

We couldn't sign big names even when we had CL football.
 
If we would have moyes in charge I'd be worried but I'm sure LVG knows what he's doing. even if we buy a name which isnt glamorous its all about the system and an idea LVG has in mind.

We could not sign these players when we were champions, so nothing has changed. We were champions of Europe in 2008, and did not sign a player until September 1st 2008

Well then there is clearly something wrong with this club. Not paying agent fees, trying to haggle far too much, Manchester is a turn off. Either way they don't come from foreign leagues to play here.
