I hope Bastian Schweinsteiger doesn't ask to have his whole name printed on the back of the shirt. Imagine his name there... it could go a full circle. I'll be ripped before you know it...

Second, would Van Gaal consider giving him the vice captain role straight off, given his knowledge of the player and the amount of experience Mr. BS has over the years?

Nah, I think Van Gaal is pretty happy with Carrick as his second in command... he loves Carrick (who doesn't?)

LvG loves and trusts Carrick, isn't it obvious enough?

I reckon Schweini won't be signing the Gaucho song much with Adm, Rojo, and Otamendi around. :)

The second name of Demichelis son is Bastian... - actually Martin Bastian Demichelis (first name after father, second after Bastian)

(when we talk about Argentinian's in Manchester... )
 
Brilliant how we are wrapping up deals so early, both in and out. Love it!! LVG and Woody make a decent duo.

Great signing, though hard to believe it's real. He'll have to be managed correctly but should be key in a lot of games. Exactly what we need right now.

Were man united. We will find a way to make sure he ends up on the treatment table for long periods of next season :P
 
Mr Bayern Munich leaving Bayern - I must admit that I didnt see this coming.
Though, he is still subject to a medical - this guy has ongoing injury problems for the last 2 years (similar to Carrick), so I wont believe it until I see him actually play.

Maybe the CM slot will be shared between Carrick and Schweinsteiger?
And the other CM slot will be taken by Schneiderlin?

Nah, no comprison. Best WAG ever, you can't find any imprefection, and then you see how she carries the beers like they are trophies, and that she hasn't waited to have a few sips along the way...

Not sure how you can break up with that.

Her hair is messy, she has a bent index finger and she's wearing a stupid necklace.

3/10 - would not bang.

Ana Ivanovic is far better
 
We finally have a German to take our penalties. And what a line up to take our other set pieces as well - Mata, Schweinsteiger, Depay, Di Maria and Rooney. No more Jones to take corners.

Schweinsteiger has no impact on the third most attacking of the central three. He only affects the other two and I can't see mata or fellaini being even considered in those positions barring injuries. Herrera, Blind, Carrick and Schweinsteiger. You need at least 4 for 2 positions IMO given Carrick is 34. And you never know, if the manager moves someone else on, or decides blind is a left back, then schneiderlin has a place too.

Van Gaal:

Carrick/Schneiderlin/Blind
Schweinsteiger/Herrera/Blind - Herrera/Fellaini/Mata
​
What I rather see:
Carrick/Schneiderlin
Herrera/Blind - Di Maria*/Fellaini​
*or mata one will be out right
​
Schweinsteiger will have an affect because he will most likely start and push Herrera to the furthurest number 10 spot, which will affect Di Maria or Mata role in our starting eleven as that number ten spot can only be occupied by one player.

No - you do not have a German to take penalties.

He missed in the CL final 2012 - and actually I cannot remember that one after that went in. The last try was in the last match for the German team against Gibraltar. Müller was not available and he was the captain in that match, that is probably why he took it...
I remember that he always made jokes about Müller when he started to exercise for them in 2012 after everybody else was missing. There were about 5 penalties in a row from different players Bayern missed after that final. He told then that Müller's penalties would look absolutely funny. Müller answered the media that Bastian might think that because his penalties always go in... - I will miss that banter

Do not let him take the penalties... :cool:

His set-pieces are ok.

Corners - no. He is an additional man in the box to score headers.

Headache? More like a disaster waiting to happen. Too many midfield players and the best teams in the world usually do not have such an overflow as it can disrupt team chemistry. Blind and Fellaini(two of our best or important players last season) will most likely become bit part players. Mata and one of Carrick or Schneiderlin aswell. The latter dependent on who is more in form and fit. The former, if he does not play on the right. Pereira development will go backward next season unless he is loaned out, so no need mentioning him anymore.

I appreciate the concern that you have towards the signing from an "he's older and potentially past his peak and a bit battered" but the "we've too many midfielders" argument leaves me completely bemused!

You've gone on to mention two players who proved, if anything, that they clearly aren't good enough midfielders for what we need. Yes, Blind started off well in the middle but it was soon evident that he isn't quick or sharp enough to run that area of the pitch. A quality LB, agreed, but he's not a central midfielder of the standard we need to be targeting. Fellaini was pretty much useless in that role and only became valuable as a forward and, in truth, he only really had a few decent games in that role towards the end of the season.

I also like to see youth developed but the best way for that to happen is for them to learn from the best. If they're good enough then they'll show themselves to be worthy of a position in the squad in due course. To not sign a player who can instantly improve the squad because there's a couple young players who might eventually make it is backwards logic. Fine if the squad is already achieving its objectives but not when it's clearly lacking.
 
I'm speechless. Roy Keane is back. He could get this team rolling on a new level. Only worried they are selling us Hargreaves again.
 
I for one can't wait to start swearing in German everytime we concede a goal. Sounds so much more powerfull and relieving.

Yeah or we could even decide to keep Rooney at CF, Mata out wide, then we have 3 positions available:

Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Blind, Herrera, Fellaini & Pereira.

For 2 wide forward positions:
AdM, Depay, Mata, Young.

Seems well balanced. & if you consider age/injuries/rotation, we can still add Schneiderlin. A bit overkill if we're not selling anyone, but at least littered with quality options.
