They did. He said anyone in the squad is a candidate, he'll need time to make a decision, and that there is no point making a quick decision as it wouldn't be good.

David May muppetry.
"I want Vidal and Hummels. Just go get them and pay the money"
"I want Vidal and Hummels. Just go get them and pay the money"
If he is anything Fergie, I expect a signing in 1 week rather than 4. Why would he tell these idiots when he is going to sign?
Yes they did.
Surely he'll look to bring in players he knows if he is to dip into the transfer market so?
Is he Wenger in disquise?
yeah they did, he said everyone was a candidate at this point and he is going to take his time to pick because the captains role is important to how he works
David May just wants to yell out "sign Vidal you bastards"
Yup, I get the impression he sees the sponsors as a necessary evil. I don't think he realised how important a role they play in the success of the club, or maybe he did, but when he saw it with his own eyes he was a bit surprised.
I thought they did, he said it's very important to him, any player could become captain, and he wants time to get to know them all before deciding.
He said 1st didn't he?
De Jong just screams out to me. I'd take him for Carrick.
Yeah he did.
Like he's going to say what he thinks about those he has already said can leave.
Yes they did, said everyone was a candidate and it is very important to him. He'll evaluate the squad before making his decision.
You're all morons. No one said thank you van, it was dank u wel.
Eh? Don't like that quote...
He said he wanted to finish 1st
He said the captain role is very important to him and everyone was a candidate but he will need time to decide who he will choose.
Yeah he said the challenge is to get 1st place, not top 4.
Herrera interview on now.
Ander.
Contracts, reputation, player power mean feck all now. It's all about if your good enough for the job with LVG. I love the sound of that. It'll drive the players to work harder to play knowing nobody is guaranteed a starting place.
im pretty sure he said 1st not fourth....
Het said 1st, but he did a 'nicky buck'. To me obviously someone who knows English but hasn't spoken it for a long time.Eh? Don't like that quote...
What a contrast between him and Moyes. I'm not a Moyes-basher, he was an honest man and while not right for United i don't hold anything against him. But for him to come out and say about challenging for the title (seems ambitious and unlikely, but would love to see it) he just feels so positive which is going to give everyone a massive boost, which might already up some of the poor form we saw last season. Also glad to hear he's going to be giving the fringe players a chance.
He was given a list of players though and it looks like he gave his yes to some of them. Might still be after others that were on that list. He won't go for his own targets without assessing the squad though.
That's at least the way I understood it.
Yep, the fact he said he'd like to evaluate the players and if they could fit his system before signing any players would suggest to me he'd be interested in tried and tested players like de Jong.
Btw, There were like 4 relevant or good questions.
Rest was all rubbish generic stuff.
Reminded me of the shit questions they had about in Moyes presser. All Rooney Rooney Rooney.

I was a bit confused about so much talk about the sponsors from LVG. Hopefully it was just due to language.
Think you've got that a little bit wrong mate
Eh? Don't like that quote...
Yup, my bad
I blame Moyes and his lowering of my own expectationsThey did. He said it was a very important role and that it could takes some time until he found someone.
That'll always be the challenge but I'm sure like Moyes before him, it's in his contract that we need to be top 4 or we have get out clauses.
Ander Herrera saying we're doing a lot of work with the ball. Satisfying to hear that!
Edit: He speaks excellent English for a Spaniard!

Herrera "every day we have the ball and every day we pass the ball"
Now that is a sentence that makes me happy

That new kit looks fantastic.
Having a look at the players for a month before buying is going to be a bit of a highwire act. Get it wrong and we might have missed our chances on certain players. If he thinks the players are up to it and he's proven right then he'll be hailed as a genius.
Yep. That quote above is wrong.
I didn't get what he meant about not being able to fulfil the needs of the club and sponsors at the same time.
