If he was your average skinny 18yo he could probably get away with it. He's well built and looks like he's in his thirties the style doesn't suit him at all.
Yeh he should be wearing regular cut wranglers and a shirt jumper combo.

He can dress in a teletubby outfit for all I care. My main reason for posting in the thread was to ask when he's back not to discuss his poor choice of attire.
 
I don't even care whether he plays exceptionally well or exceptionally shite when he returns. I just want him to stand out so we can put an end to the embarrassing fecking discussions going on in this thread.

I don't beleive that.
 
When was the last time anyone spoke about anything remotely football related in this thread?

:lol::lol:

Looks like everyone here is a Gok Wan wannabe.

 
I don't think van Gaal will risk rushing players back from injury, like he said most players will be back after the international break. It's better to play it safe rather than bring him back not 100% ready and risk getting him injured again.
I'm no expert or doctor but i think that's one of the reasons why we have so many injured players in the last 5 years.....most are coming back too early (Ferguson has said that he has made this with a few players in his career) or are playing with injections like Carrick against Arsenal last season (He was then out for 2 months)
 
When is he actually due back? If is isn't 100% still I wouldn't bother bringing him back for our next match, give him the break as well to recover. Plus that way England are not likely to call him up either.
 
So LVG was right...



He is a young player, I really believe that if he listens to Van Gaal and knuckles down, LvG could transform him into a beast of a left wing back.
 
That's a pretty shitty t-shirt, but he's 19, you can wear pretty shitty clothes when you're 19.
Good to see this guy was back in training this week, still excited to see more of him. Still think under the guidance of LvG at such a young age he should fulfill his potential, which is going to be nice to see.
 
When is the last time we bought a player from weaker team/foreign league that didn't have fitness issues? De Gea was nowhere near ready for PL, Kagawa was nowhere near ready at the beggining even though his stamina was extraordinary(according to some sources) and even though many here thought Dortmund was so far ahead of us fitness wise, Fellaini had some issues immidiately IIRC, Robin wasn't fit but tbf he wasn't even properly training with Arsenal Herrera is one of the rare ones who was ready when the rest of the team too, but he end up injured once the season started too. Mata? I don't think he was on requiered level at the start of his United career either.

Was due to be back early September anyway. He's back in training now but definitely won't be risked until after the international break. Anyway, England have already announced the squad so no worries in that regard.
 
Van Gaal sees Shaw as an example for other players in our team. Good to hear after all those questions about his fitness when he first joined.

“I think a lot of Luke’s situation is purely down to the fact that he is still young, his body is changing, but I think he’s aware that the work rate which is required does mean that he’s got to work very, very hard on that aspect of his game."

But van Gaal does not believe the England manager is the best person to judge Shaw's fitness since he arrived in Manchester.

The United boss said: "About Shaw I want to say something. I have read nasty articles about him. In the United States I said to him 'you came not fit'.

"But I changed his programme and he did everything that he was to do to be fit and now he is an example in the dressing room.

"He is training fantastic, so when you want to write something then maybe you can ask me 'is he doing his work or not?' I am open, I answer the questions when you put a question to me.

"He is not fit now because he is injured but Roy Hodgson cannot judge at this moment.

"Roy Hodgson cannot judge him because I have never seen him here at a training session.

"I think that he refers to the World Cup but I don't know. But now he is doing a great job."

Well, he was 7 when Adams retired and Shaw said his earliest World Cup memory was from 2010 (seriously), so not that surprising.

Bit amazing that he's never seen Adams on TV though. He's been on plenty of things since retiring.
 
People should be grateful, if he really is the reason why Lampard retired from the selection.

It just makes me think of Ander Herrera who was more than certain knowing of players like Sir Bobby and Eric Cantona. Guess some players have a bigger love for the game than others.
 
I'm starting to think he was one of the lads who played football but had no real interest of watching it from a young age. I'm only one year older than him, I never watched him play but I know about Adams. I can even remember the 2002 World Cup yet he claims the first one he remembers is 2010.
 
Surely he remembers a World Cup before 2010? That quote must have been taken out of context or something. He was 11 when the 2006 World Cup was on so he should at least remember that. I can remember some games from the 1998 World Cup and I was only 7 at the time.

"Frank Lampard took that shot and it went over the line and it didn't count," he recalls. "That was the only one I can remember."

His quotes from the BBC about England WC memories. I found it hard to believe when I first heard it and still do.
 
I hardly remember 2010 and it was just 4 years ago. I know I've watched every game in 2010 but if you ask me something about any of those games(except the finals) I would struggle to remember anything without rewatching highlights/fixtures. Some people just have shit memory about certain things; even though I like football, I forget football games quite quickly even though I am excellent at memorizing some other things someone else would never remember.

Of course not knowing Adams is weird considering he is quite often on TV.

To be honest it could have something to do with his memory. I watched most of the matches from this summer's world cup and I can barely recall 5 moments. It doesn't mean that he had no interest in it, he could have just forgotten.

Ya surely he can remember more than that. Not necessarily in great detail but he must be able remember watching it and what happened.

I can remember Brazil beating Holland in a penalty shout out in 98 as well as the 3 French goals in the final. I can't remember them in great detail but I can remember them none the less.
 
To be fair I can barely remember anything about the most recent world cup apart from Suarez round 3.
 
Maybe it's just me then. I don't remember in too much detail what happened in each WC but I can remember quite clearly who or how we went out of each WC since 2002.

I remeber that Ronaldinho free kick (he didn't mean it) and his red card in 02 then losing on penalties to Portugal in 06. Don't think I'll ever forget thay Germany game in '10

How can his first World Cup memory be 2010 if he was born in 95? :lol:
