Yeah the Schweni story ran two days ago when Kroos rejected us saying we said no to Bastian.
Manchester United transfer news and rumours for summer 2014
- Thread starter KiD MoYeS
- Start date
They do it because a lot of people - as seen on here, fall for it hook line and sinker and re-tweet it and/or spread the link.
Nobody knows anything most likely - yet fans are desperate to believe everything they read and criticise the club for not getting a deal done for a player we might not even be interested in.
There is plenty of time left in the summer and hopefully things are moving behind the scenes.
Van Gaal has also talked about playing an attacking midfielder in that role. He's not set on it having to be a striker who plays there. You're reading into what he's said too much, whilst ignoring other things he's said to fit your point.
Gimme an M gimme a U gimme a PPE gimme a TRY it spells MUPPETRY! Hoorah!
The gossip well has run dry, it is Memorial Day in the US tomorrow, is it a holiday for ya'll? Will there be fresh gossip or just rehashed shite?
I may take tomporrow off from the caf and give it a chance to recharge.

I don't! That's the whole point about what I was saying. I don't believe we're even in the market for that kind of player but people on here and contemplating muppet suicide if we don't sign Cesc, Kroos, Robben or Ronaldo.
I hate this place when the transfer market opens.
My point was assuming Rooney is first choice, no point having such an expensive bench option if we received a very good offer. It stands to reason my opinion would also be should Mata be first choice and Rooney sit on the bench and then chelsea offer £30m, we should sell as opposed to keep Rooney.
If so, assuming Rooney isn't in the first 11 we should look to sell him as we could get a fair bit for him. Louis might play him as a LW winger though but I think it would be a waste of potential cash for him to sit on the bench.
Suprised we havn't been linked to Martinez yet.Out of all the Bayern players he would suit us the best.Surely something has to give in that midfield, they can't play Thiago,Schweinsteiger, Kroos,Martinez and Lahm.They are all to good to be benched as well.Golden boy Gotze can also play the 10 role in a midfield three aswell and is struggling to get games.Surely we can get one of there players.
This thread should have its own memorial day, in remembrance of 5 days ago.
Is Woodward "briefing the press" this summer? I've seen nothing official but of I'm wrong fair enough.
It's silly season now and the press have to have something to write about until the World Cup. Hence all the shite - made worse by Twitter and Bloggers who are no more knowledgable than you or I.
Chelsea will sign Costa. They only wanted Rooney probably because they thought they could get him cheap.
Nobody else is likely to pay Rooney what he gets at United. The other top sides didn't want him last year. He'll be staying.
I believe, from watching Van Gaal's teams in the past, that we will be moving to a system akin to tiki taka ourselves and in whatever possession system Mata trumps Rooney in the #10 role . Selling Mata to play Rooney in the hole will be shortsighted and a move we could very well regret .
I reckon LVG will find a system to fit in all 3 of RVP, Rooney and Mata. I don't think either of them will go anywhere.
Just popped up on facebook.. is he any good?
I've been racking my brains as to how this can be done and every option has fundamental problems:
There's obvious big flaws every way you try because they all have weaknesses in certain positions and all have strengths that require them to be played in their own positions.
It's what you get when you have three brilliant individuals who all need a team to be built around them and are all good enough to justify having a team built around them.
Yes. Huge potential.
For me Januzaj can be the pacey wide forward to make some of those formations work. I think Van Gaal will find a way, he's intelligent enough. I can see us playing narrow at times, with width outside provided by wingbacks.
Give any top manager those 3 players and they'll be excited by the prospect of fitting them all in his side.
The formation that would suit us, which would fit all the players in would be a diamond, but I think it can lack width.
I really want to see Mata play behind the striker, rather than out wide because he is wasted.
Rooney causes a big problem for this, but he is also adaptable. He can play striker, he can play #10, I'd also rather see him out wide right than Mata.
So Rooney could play every match, but rotate around the field.
It's a real shame Rooney can't adapt and become positionaly good enough to play in midfield, because he has the aggression and willingness to get back, and also has a good range of passing, so could be a great box to box midfielder, I just don't think he has the natural understanding to play that role correctly

Signing Schweinseiger is impossible. It should not even be mentioned. The press are idiots for even thinking about this aloud. There has been no inkling of him even leaving Bayern in the past. None that I know off.
Can anyone imagine Scholes signing for someone like Inter Milan, fresh of our successful league campaign of 02/03? That's how ridiculous this rumour is.

It's really not. Schweinsteiger has been playing through injuries and pain barriers quite frequently, and isn't/hasn't been as integral for Pep as others have this season. Whilst I don't think it will happen, it isn't as impossible as many think.
True!!!! Its as mad as Christino Ronaldo signing for 3rd place Real Madrid after is team just lost in the Champions League to Barcelona after retaining the league title.
I get your point but non of us know Schweinsteiger like that and we all know Paul Scholes was a different type of professional.
Cavani talk has gone all quiet...glad tbh
It's been 11 years man. Surely by now you know his first name.
I'm sorry, but did you really not foresee Ronaldo us for Real eventually? Really?
About Schweinsteiger, let me put it this way, back in the early 00s, Giggs was not as universally revered by United fans as he is now. For a period of time, he was suffering from poor form and injuries, and there were talks of Juventus being interested in him. Nothing came out of that.
I'd be very surprised if we signed Schweinsteiger.
Tremendous amount of negativity surrounding our transfer window, could it be 2013 all over again.
It's gutting all these supposed world class signings turning us down.

Hmmmm... would take him over Young, that's for sure plus there's space and time for improvements with his game.
Still waiting for a bigger fish to sign.

Just signed him in FIFA. Really fast so I'm sold.
another bollocks account guys
Whats the point of this thread by the way? Isn't it the same as the twitter thread/fabregas/shaw etc threads?
It's the transfer forum thread.
I was under the impression it was just any rumours via twitter or news outlets were posted here but just those and no replies. Guess not.
Wait until we get some proper media assertions that we're in for him before creating or bumping an old thread but Diaro Sport are saying that Alexis Sanchez will be the first player out the door for Barcelona with them looking for a quick sale at 25mil
Ahh Monday morning, how you always get my Transfer Senses tingling
Apparently the fabled list consists of Shaw, Strootman, Hummels and Reus according to MEN. Its a bit worrying that there arent more CMs on that list especially with Strootman injured I hope LvG is not overestimating our current midfield.

Van Gaal better get to work writing a new list then; the chances of Dortmund allowing Lewandowski, Hummels and Reus to leave in the same window, are absolutely nil.
That's such lazy journalism.
Thats just a list of players we/anyone would want minus kroos and fabregas.
Cant believe people get paid for that!
No way in hell are we getting both Reus or Hummels out of Dortmund.
I have my reservations about Strootman. Won't be fit until September. Will need month or so to get fitness back. Then play in the reserves. Also then adjust to a new league. Rather let him stay at Roma for the year. We need players who'd walk into our midfield in August.
