"It's good, but it's not right"
Yeah, will be interesting to see how you´re "trying" is going. And we are not speaking of the past, we are speaking about what is now.
I'm glad your not in charge, we don't need a player in a year we need a player now and RW is the most important signing we make this summer.
Thanks for putting the player and the fee into perspective.
I'm not trying to laugh at your club at all
Just a bit of banter really. Why did that affect you so much? I actually respect BVB, in fact I play with them on FIFA all the time if that makes you feel better. I actually agree we play terrible football right now and our players maybe aren't as good as I'd like so you won't get an argument out of me there.
Yeh but to say playing nice football and winning trophies is something a United fan could only dream about is rather silly. as we have done it countless times just recently. It's like me saying BvB going a season without selling a player to Bayern is something they could only dream about

Just wanted to put the stupid BVB-Buy€rn jokes in the right perspective...
dont forget to spell "write" right
Hmm, dreaming of the past and think getting trophies is written in the club-DNA is something dangerous... And i was refering to playing good football. This is something the last years could not be seen at United.
Just a few seasons ago a certain Juan Mata scored 21 goals and had 29 assists in a far stronger league than the Bundesliga. Januzaj was rated as one if the best youngsters in the World..they've been managed by 2 frauds since, do you really think we've seen the best of these players? Are they that bad that we need to throw 42m at a club for a player we can tie up a deal for in January with no fee.
Just noticed your name
, you obviously don't live up to it.it also wasn't seen by you lot in Klopp’s final season which was just a year ago
I'm afraid you really do have a point here. DDG, Martial and Rashford would be the only players the "top" clubs would want from us.
The other reason why top clubs don't come in for our players, unleds they want to leave like Di Maria, is because we are a top club, paying top wages. A club who doesn't need the money. So you hear it less. You would never hear teams wanting our players when SAF was around. It's only now you here, that Inter gave us a blank cheque for Scholes. Top clubs don't want to embarrass themselves going for top players that they can't get...something we've been doing a good job for the past 3 years.
Anyway, back to Miki, I'm glad I've read your posts about him. I'm feeling more optimistic about him now, as I've never really seen him play. Thanks.
Im not really sure you would be talking about names.Just noticed your name
Youre right. But finaly we achieved playing in europe. And this was even exciting, jumping steady from the last place up to international spots. More exciting than the season with LVG i think
Are you a numpty? Stop your Wumming because of the fact that you are butthurt by Mkhitaryan saga.
United is not a selling/poor club like yours, even average players in our team are compensated heavily, so little clubs like yours (which in ur dreamworld is a "top" club playing dream-attacking football for years) can not afford our players, unless United want to offload them for a cut price.
You would sell your both balls for Anthony Martall and many of other clubs would too.
Wenger has been trying sign Chris Smalling for years, Do you think arsena is not a "Top Club"?
If Luke Shaw was even a remote possibility, all the clubs would want to sign him.
Mata would be easily desired by clubs like Seville/Valencia/Juventus (they all are better club than dortmund).
Rashford has become one of the hottest young prospects in Europe.
We signed depay who PSG were very eager to sign. PSG is a TOP CLUB.
Ibra is desired by many clubs. But not everyone can afford him.
Also, about your club playing attacking dream-football, your club got it's ass handed over in Europa league by the team which finished 8th in Premier League (3 places below United which itself had a below-par season). Your dream attacking football only seem to appear in a 2 team micky mouse leagu, in which your club finished 7th last season.

Well that escalated quickly.
And by the end of the season we'll be back to where we belong whilst Dortmund will forever remain the feeder club to Bayern and other genuine big clubs

I have always wondered, why do some people always put the original quote at bottom?And by the end of the season we'll be back to where we belong whilst Dortmund will forever remain the feeder club to Bayern and other genuine big clubs
Not having a go, just wondered
Well, to see Mkhitaryan waving his one hand to poor Slig while signing on the dotted line with the other wearing United kits is an even more exciting prospect to me at the moment!Youre right. But finaly we achieved playing in europe. And this was even exciting, jumping steady from the last place up to international spots. More exciting than the season with LVG i think
neither do you other than maybe aubameyang in fairness.
Slig is hurt so much he needs to take a shot at United?
If I didnt like Dortmund as a club I would ask him how is thinking of present time going for him?

To be fair, talking of the last season (no squad in any league is ready built up yet), in my opinion its Güdogan, Hummels, Micki, Reus, Auba. And yeah we have to proof that it will go on like that. Loosing 3 top-players you have to proof if you will develop like before. But as i mentioned Micki hurts the most, for the other 2 iam confident that our plan will work. What our season will be depends a lot from the answer of the question: Will we be able to compansate the loss of Micki, further more: Will we use these losses to our advance and spread our style to more tactical solutions and and a better little squad as a whole, using all players for different styles of playing, being more and more unpredictable. That we have achieved everytime before, despite hard looses (in their time) of Sahin, Kagawa, Götze, Lewandowski.

Cos they can't use the internet properly.
Was just responding a little bit to the wannabe running gag of Buy€rn-Dortmund by giving an inch in mentioning Uniteds current situation and some will take a yard.
But the real difference is you have only lost 1 key player every summer (max 2). This summer it will be 3, with Reus also out injured for a long period.
Reus is injured until August. And for the "key-players": As CB we have Bender and Sokratis, both topplayers! And we now got Bartra, 25 years old ex Barca player. Tuchel and our board
came up with this like jack out of the box, silence before, meaning it was a plan since a long time (also considering the interviews with him). For the #8 until now we got now Rode from Buy€rn, Merino, Sahin, and Castro which was the replacement for Gündogan in the first place. Leaving Mickis position and function in the team. Well i have no idea whats the plan for this.

Is he fast? How is his crossing? A good player no doubt but not sure he is the player we require in that ring wing position... Then again there aren't many available options out there and we desperately need to upgrade on Lingard.
Nobody wants the current United player's because there are only two or three clubs in the world that would offer a more competitive wage packet along with the huge fee necessary.
It's like saying "ask yourself why no one goes in for Google's best staff", well it's mainly because they are incredibly well paid as it is and it would take a monumental offer from an equally wealthy firm to entice them away (and Google would probably at least match the offer). Said firms aren't a dime a dozen.
Martial for example would cost 9 figures (in Euros) and a wage of maybe €300k a week to get him out of Manchester. De Gea maybe €70-80m and a similar salary. Given the amount rejected for Stones from Everton, Smalling wouldn't be allowed to leave for less than €70m and he'd require €200k a week, Luke Shaw likewise. These figures make them unobtainable to almost everyone.

Why so many negative people, he's a very talented player and is coming off one of his best seasons he's had, he's filling a position we desperately need some cover in too and he's more than capable cover.
Cheer up people
Cheer up people
Cheesy video, but some magic.
They are pessimistic because of the money involved - 42.5m Euros if the numbers are to be believed for a person with one year left on his contract.
Which RW player would go for this summer instead of Mkhitaryan considering it's a position that needs fixing now?
And what fee would you think is acceptable for Mkhitaryan this summer?
Why i cant remember of any pessimistic posts at the time Falcao was transfered for this ridicoulus numbers? In comparison to Micki, Micki is the first transfer with sense since years. Falcao, Di Maria, Schweinsteiger, the Rooney contract, WTF? With Micki i see the first time since years some kind of concept which could be the base of a transfer. (Btw: I am not understanding the Ibra tranfer. Its a fault in my eyes.) Thatswhy iam looking forward to see him playing at United, how it fits etc..
Ruhrnachrichten report an offer of €42m, too now. Strangely they cite "our English sources".
Want him a the #10, that's why I mentioned that
I hope slig doesn't get banned for WUMming as it's quite fun to read his butthurtedness.
Why do you think that?
Firstly I'm not the one being pessimistic. Secondly, as far as Falcao is concerned, maybe because he consistently scored a minimum of 25-30 goals a season for the past three to four seasons before joining us? Maybe because he didn't have one year left in his contract? Maybe because he was a more household name than Mkhi is? Maybe because he is a more marketable player with definitely a bigger fan following? Maybe because he proved himself in three different leagues? Maybe because he was a striker? They seem to cost more always. Just look at Troy Deeney and what ever his name Palace are trying to sign, Bat shit crazy?
