I'll personally disagree. Mata's got plenty of flaws in his game, but he's also an excellent little player who'll get plenty of goals and assists. Don't see us playing him on the right as too much of a problem, providing LVG allows him to cut inside a lot and drift around.
not really. you can't deny we were interested in the player, it isn't ballbag's fault that we didn't push through with the deal.
Gotta say that when they go for it, Chelsea seem to get the business done
Kovačić to Madrid, can play AM. James to the wing.
Bale to us.
It all makes sense now.

He'd be a really good asset for Chelsea's right wing. United should not let this slip.
Posts like this make it really hard not to attack the poster. You're talking absolute shite, our midfield controlled the game and had we taken all of our easy chances alone, it could have been 5-1. Brugge hardly troubled us and the few times they did were often of our own making, which is just sloppiness that can be rectified (without signings).
You would be spitting feathers if the ref had blown up in the middle of a cross into the box, the ref allowed play to continue at his discretion as is within the laws of the game; it's a minimum addition, not a maximum. If we play like we did against Brugge in the group stages we will top the group. Oh and there was plenty of coming from midfield, Schweinsteiger was ever present on the edge of the box and Carrick was high up to make the cross for Memphis' goal.
Good news, I am pleased to see we're not in for him anymore.
That's why I used the word reportedly. However with the sheer number of reports going around you'd have to think there was some truth in them.Key word. Don't believe everything you read in the twitterverse, in fact don't believe any of it
So, we shouldn't belive anything said by the media and only what the club tells us. Thank you, we aren't that stupid.
Oh God, I just saw Sam's post. He needs to take a time out.
Sad but surely no longer that surprising? Sounds old man-ish but the internet means people spend twice as much time reading transfer gossip than they do actually watching football.
28 years old, pacey, direct player who mostly plays in the same position as Depay.
Not saying it's not galling after the month of interest, but I kind of see the logic of investing that moolah elsewhere.

Ok, who changed their vote from "Yes, Pedro will be a great addition" to something else?
Woodward has spent the whole window playing hardass and every report said the same thing, we wanted to structure the Pedro deal and Barca wanted their €30M up front, we stalled and Chelsea slipped in.
Neither are any good on the right.
Fair enough if you don't believe that then. We can find out soon enough when LvG gives his pre game pressers anyway whether he pulled off or we just lost our mind. In all honesty, I think Pedro as a Willian kind of player, who can work for the team but cannot be a sparkling presence which we need. Having said that losing to Chelsea if we were genuinely interested (as you think) would be furiously saddening thing to happen.
whatever. we didn't go for clyne and people went crazy, I suspect we have another player lined up. I won't pass judgement on this until the window closes.

They're nearly as bad as all the bastards who changed their vote in the De Gea thread!
A sensible post that doesn't deserve to be lost in the midst of all these meltdowns.
I have no idea why Van Gaal was trying to convert Depay into a #10 but he clearly was, if giving up on Pedro is a sign that experiment is over then it's good news.
He'll come good for Chelsea, IMO. Hazard, Costa and Pedro is a tasty trio.
For some reason I'm not bothered. I don't know why, maybe I'm influenced by Memphis performance last night and happy that Januzaj will get to play consistently.
No value.

Just got to love this place
He plays on either the left or right flank. And we've got a slow second striker playing on the right.
Everyone knew he wasn't an elite attacker, but he's much better than Mata as a right forward which was why he was a smart buy at a cheap price. He's peak age, used to the system we play and has pace and goals in him.
If Chelsea wants to hijack the deal, we should let them. He'll seat on the bench there b/c Mourinho will not play 2 attacking players on the wings.. see Schurrle, Salas and Cuadrado.

Walcott could be available in the near future.
I'm in shock. Not that Pedro isn't coming but that BBC managed to get the currency conversion rate right this time. It's all good that Pedro won't sign for us, but I don't like that he will probably freshen Chelsea up.
It's embarrassing that there are posters on here who seem to be in a continual state of "embarassment" about United.
Smokescreen for Greizmann? now Chelsea are no longer in for him
Don't think he'll face such issues with Pedro. He works very hard.
If Pedro wasn't 100% committed then Utd were right to pull out. We don't want another DiMaria situation.
How did we manage to f*ck this one up then.
Even those thick bastards can see what is so obvious then...
Muppets should be happy. This probably means United being linked with a zillion fresh names for the next 2 weeks.
It's strange that the media are all reporting different reasons for this, some saying we didn't want to pay the money, others saying Lvg changed his mind and then there is a third group saying Pedro picked Chelsea over us.
Gaitan it is then...
In truth, Pedro is not the type of player I think of when I think of a United winger but in my mind he was certainly the best available fit for the 4-3-3 system we played last season. So whilst I was excited about the potential of our team with Pedro in it I was not as excited about Pedro the individual if that makes sense.
I hope we have an alternative in mind to fill one of those front 4 positions as I do feel the balance is not quite right but confident that one astute signing could take us up another level.
Pedro will improve Chelsea and the direct threat of him and Hazard is as good as anything in the league.

If that's the case, great. He's either signing someone better or thinks our youngster have what it takes for us to no longer need Pedro. Either scenario works for me. Especially the latter.
Maybe we got some encouragement over this supposed bid for Muller? I refuse to believe we have simply decided we don't need another player, especially when based on 3 games we only have a couple of players who look like they are going to be getting the goals this season.
yes!
