No worries, got thick skin!I'm really sorry man - i completely mis-judged your tone. Feel really shitty now. Sorry Goo
Half man - half cow?
That was a very good read man - so my hat is tipped towards your direction
I think the main difference between Fergie & LvG, is that Ferigie was never on a time-frame set by the club to win things - he set it himself; whereas LvG has 2 season's to get us back winning ways & not just the League Cup - League title & Champions League are the priority.
Fergie was unsackable (he earned that right too) - but other manager's will not have the same luxury at United & we as fans understand that.
The main difference i've garnered from LvG & Fergie, is that Fergie always seemed to build his teams around individuals & LvG builds it around the sum of all parts.
We've an exciting roller-coaster ride ahead us with LvG & United, so lets embrace the shit out of it & lets hope we all enjoy the thrills ahead
Thank you. You too
The bold is a very important aspect I think, on which I agree completely. The club and football in general was in a completely different world in 1986. It was much easier to be patient back then and United really needed to rebuild itself thoroughly as a club and as far as I understand it there were no sponsor deals pending Champions League qualifications etc. As far as I know where was not near as much money in the league before the Premier League either so to sum it up: Easier to be patient.
Yes exactly, Fergie built it on individuals and he was IMO one of the best motivators this world has ever seen. Personally I think LVG might be a better coach at most of all the ascpects of the game but he will never be a better manager. LVG has his system and he is very good at it but Fergie was THE manager. It shows now in the transfer market as well. You can tell we no longer have a manager who can make worldstars of just regular premier league starters (to be a bit blunt) and thus the wallet is open.
Regarding 2 seasons, if we keep moving in the right direction as we did last season (even if it was quite umbearable at times) I hope United stick with LVG for a while. I supported the sacking of Moyes because everything seemed to be going in the wrong direction in the spring + he made lots of IMO quite terrible comments to the media and showed no presence of vision, confidence or willingness to adapt. But with LVG it is different. You can see it on the players as well.

I hope you post alot more now man, because i enjoy reading what you've got to say - very eloquent, passionate & clued in, more importantly.
You seem ol'skool also & we all love our ol'skoolers on here feller. Hope you found love btw & plenty of it too
I'm often worshipped by the Hindu's, so I could see how you'd get that idea.
Possibly but then you would reduce your option on the wing again but yes, that is also an option
It's a brilliant piece of chess by Woodward and Co, though isn't it:
RM - We want DDG
MU - You can't have DDG
RM - We'll make him
MU - You can only have DDG if we get Ramos
RM - You can't have Ramos
MU - You are only getting DDG if we get Ramos
RM - Ramos doesn't want to go to you.
MU - No Ramos for DDG? Then we'll take Ronaldo back..Who do you rather lose? Your choice.
RM - What color ribbon do you want around your Ramos?
RM - We want DDG
MU - You can't have DDG
RM - We'll make him
MU - You can only have DDG if we get Ramos
RM - You can't have Ramos
MU - You are only getting DDG if we get Ramos
RM - Ramos doesn't want to go to you.
MU - No Ramos for DDG? Then we'll take Ronaldo back..Who do you rather lose? Your choice.
RM - What color ribbon do you want around your Ramos?
How can it only be 60-40 in the poll? I want a striker who's target would be to score a goal a game, not 20 goals in a season.
Do I think there's anything in this rumour? Absolutely not.
Do I think he'll come back? Maybe, but not whilst he's number one at Madrid.

There is more chance of me ripping my ball sack open and then wearing my bollocks as earrings than this happening.
Or the alternative:
MU: Hello, can i speak to Mr. Perez please?
RM: Sorry - who's calling?
MU: It's Edward Woodward from Manchester United.
RM: Edward Woodward from the 80's tv show "The Equalizer"?
MU: Ah for f*ck sake - not this shite again. No - i'm the guy who runs Manchester United you dizzy bitch.
RM: Oh, okay - i'll put you through as soon as he becomes available. Great show that was though. Are you sure you're not.. *Ed cuts her off*
MU: Finish that sentence & i'm gonna have you taken care off you f*cking c*nt.
RM: There's no need to be rude - i was just curious. It's a famous name & you're English, so i thought you were him.
MU: He's f*cking dead you twat. How many calls do you get from dead people for f*ck sake?
RM: Quite alot. We at Real Madrid use the official Real Madrid Ouija BoardTM & we contact dead Real footballers & General Franco to give us guidance.
MU: feck me side-ways & call me Barbara. You lot really are a bunch of arseholes. What the f*ck like?! Is Mr. Perez available yet or not, for f*ck sake?
RM: I'm just waiting to put you through. Please hold the line Senor Equalizer.. he he he.. sorry, i meant Senor Woodward he he he.
MU: I have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for receptionists like you. If you put me through to Mr. Perez now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
RM: *Freaks out* Oh.. oh.. okay.. Just putting you through now, Senor Woodward.
MU: Bout f*cking time you wench.
RM: Edward - Como esta?
MU: Dont you spout that "how are you shite" Perez - you couldnt give a shite how i am & i couldnt give a shite how you are either, you slimey specky prick. What's the update on Ramos & Ronaldo situation for f*ck sake? You f*ckin better sort this out & have them both at Carrington within the next 7 days & that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you.. *coughs & snaps out of it*.. Anyway give us the update you twat.
RM: Sorry Senor Wood, i meant no offence. Apologies. Sergio & Cristiano want to leave, but Senor Benitez says no & needs them both for his team. He's beside me here.
MU: Stick that chubby wanker on the blower right now pal.
RM: Edward - it's Rafa. Como esta?
MU: For f*ck sake - you's cnuts are really pushing it now. Let Ramos & Ronaldo come to us you fat f*ck & have it sorted within the next 7 days or else. I dont give a shite, but you're not gettin our Dave either. Are you eating?
RM: Yes - we're having some cake. Its a very nice Real Madrid CakeTM.
MU: You fat vagina-faced ignorant bastard. It's rude to talk with me whilst gubbing a shitload of cake.
RM: Sorry Edward - i was just celebrating with Senor Perez.
MU: Celebrating what?
RM: Celebrating that i dont have ass-cancer & i just happen to shit myself from time to time - especially doin cross-bar challenges. My bowls always seem to move & i also get an erection when Cristiano shoots, which means i have to shoot also - in the manager's office.
MU: Wanker! Forget about keeping Ronaldo & Ramos you pants crapper - they want to play here & not for you, you fat twat. Stop gubbing that f*ckin cake too for f*ck sake.
RM: Okay Senor Edward *gubs more cake*. I will talk to them & i will contact you.
MU: Good. Sort it out asap. You can have Hernandez for both of them aswell - no money. We aint paying a cent to you fascist twats.
RM: But.. but.. *Ed cuts Rafa off*
MU: No buts about it feller. You make this happen & that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will starve you.
RM: Sí Senor Woodward. That's a good deal. Thank you.
MU: Sorted & about time. Hasta la vista dickheads. *hangs up*
Haha. That was awesome. Well done
Thanks man. I really must have too much time on my hands to come out with that shite though..

Thank you very much for your kind words. And dito
I am sure we will hook up later in another thread.
Haha oh yeah the nickname. It's an old favorite band of mine. Hm maybe I should change it into something more "Man United" now that you mention it
Hope you had a pleasant evening!
The poll for this thread may be the most embarrassing thing to ever exist on this forum.
Why ?
404 people voted that they wouldn't want one of the greatest players in our club history, and the current second best player in the world (by a distance) back. A player who would instantly transform us into a contender on all fronts. A player who scores ~60 goals per season.
Maybe that people considers that he left the club to spend his best years in Madrid,he is a great player but in some months will be 31,he would be very expensive and perhaps they think that is better to bet for a new talent instead buying someone who will start soon his decline

My pleasure man
Have never heard of that band tbh, but i kinda remember the film though. Willem Defoe is in it if memory serves..
Our paths will cross on here alright man - i look forward to it.
You have a great weekend man & hopefully we'll run into each other. Keep up the great posting brother
Ah - I thought you were saying it was a bad idea.
I'd take him back tomorrow at any price.
Yes we need to move on - I've a good feeling about Memphis but hey ho - Ronnie just now would be epic regardless.
And yet all of those factors mean nothing considering how much he would help us, on the field, and brand wise/commercially.
Worrying about money when buying Cristiano makes little sense, he is a brand in himself, if anything no matter how much we pay for him he will get us a profit on that, financially speaking.
He's shown no signs of decline and even if he does lose a bit of pace he will be better than any other striker in the world up front, and still score plenty given how carefully he takes care of his physique and diet. He's not some overweight bloke from Liverpool who runs hot and cold month to month and 'thinks' he can score if he's played up front...haha.

Honestly think crap like this should ban you from the thread. It's your opinion and you're just inviting a Messi-Ronaldo debate. Ronaldo is better than Messi in my eyes and plenty of others.
I gather some folk regard Ronnie, as possibly being a negative influence at the club if he returned & that it would be all about him - on & off the field.
I say bollox to that - he'd be the opposite. He loves the club & us fans, so if there's any chance to ever get him back - sort it out, even if he's 45 years old & playin for a 5-a-side team in Madeira..
Most complete forward to ever play the game - right foot, left foot, headers, free-kicks, dribbling, lightning quick & scores goals for fun - 60 goals scored last season ffs.
He's a one-off & he should come home to where he's a God & not stay at that shit-hole of boo-boys..
He could improve a bit the free kicks, besides lost a bit of dribbling from the last 2 years. Surely next year there will be serious rumors and United will have to fight with PSG. For now he seems quite happy in the shit-hole.
Well I'm glad someone else agrees with me.
I don't think it will happen. If it does, the team balance doesn't even Matter. Ronaldo = trophies.
I wasnt banking on you reading that - sorry man
Agree with your assessment if that makes up for it?
That's the beauty of the Caf having many fans who support different clubs.I wasnt banking on you reading that - sorry man
Agree with your assessment if that makes up for it?
I was being sarcastic man - Ronaldo is shite. Worst player ever to play the game & i'm glad we got rid.
Sick of us winning trophies & having OT on the edge of their seat & the pathetic United fans around the world watchin on their tv sets - wishing they were there to experience it in person..
Sack LvG & get Moyesy back

Sure, don´t worry, I'm pretty used to itAbsolutely Mitch - i love that aspect too mate, so that's why i always feel bad when i slag off another team (die-hard hat on) & a fan of said team show's up. Caught out big time ffs
I dont like to insult or isolate folk of other teams on here, is what i'm gettin at. They're as welcome & respected as any other member on here & the likes of yourself, are all very clued in about the game & are not screwed up with pure club bias all the time, which is the way we all should be..
Reckon i should delete that "Real & Barca fans are a bunch of twats" thread now. Shame, as it was really taking off too
Actually I like this mini fights between clubs and here the comments are very soft compared to Marca. So, do you really want Cristiano back, wouldn´t you feel betrayed?

So was I, and I agree! Ronaldo will just stun the growth of lingard. Do not want.
I can only imagine what it's like on Marca - if their articles are anything to go buy..
Yes of course - most of us would take Ronnie back in a heartbeat (apart from 405 folks on here
). OT still worships that fella & we sing his name at every game since he left - even at away games too. We're loyal to our players & always try to support them as best we can, but special players like Ronnie - walk on water & will always do in our eyes. He was such an amazing player & we all watched him grow since his debut against Bolton, where he had everyone on the edge of their seat.
Not many, if any United fans i know personally, have any bad feeling whatsoever against Ronnie leaving - he went with our blessing, but it was a very sad day when that happened i might add. We didnt get his best years & that's the gut-wrencher for us; yet he still hasnt won a shitload with you's anyway, so maybe he would have been better off staying with us in the end.
Anyway, we got an extra season out of him - something DDG isnt prepared to do. He doesnt have my blessing moving on that's for sure. World-class Keeper, but wanting to play for his fierce boyhood rivals? He's a f*ckin disgrace & Atletico fans will make his life a misery when the shit really hits the fan & he signs for you's.
Best of luck with that Dave - you're gonna need it..
Great we're on the same page then. Lingard etc. are the future & we dont need some shit has-been coming back & gettin in the way of our world-class youngsters development.
He was massively overrated when he was here & even more so at Real now. Sure even i could score 60 goals in a season in La Liga for Christ sake. Pants league, pants player & crappy show-pony altogether. Glad we got rid..
