So...what could Van Troll's Surprise be!? | LVG: "not a striker - it's something else"

I really hope it's not Pedro in to replace ADM.

Send Woody over to get Reus!
 
Isn't it fairly obvious that lvg is just backtracking from a previous comment? He's probably been told to keep his mouth shut about transfers.
 
I hope it is a striker. IMO, we're not going to win a thing if we rely on Wayne & co.
 
None of those you mentioned are #10's. If it's a #10, it could very well be De Bruyne, doesn't get much better than that.
Depay isn't a #10 either, I was just thinking someone ion the same mould. More of a goal scorer than an orchestrator in that position.

But, yeah... De Bruyne would be great. And exactly the kind of surprise LvG is talking about since none of the papers have mentioned him.
 
He probably just wants to keep the media guessing and then, after some claim they know who it is based on their sources, he comes out and says we weren't in for anybody and he was just fooling them, showing them that they're constantly writing rubbish. It's non-sense obviously, as they don't care much about it as long as they get clicks, but I could see van Gaal just trying to prove a point here, albeit it being at the expense of the fans more so than the expense of the press.
 
By whom? Is there anyone at the club with the balls to tell LVG to keep his mouth shut?
Well, his boss for one.

He's probably been reminded that talking about transfers to media doesn't help the process.
 
It's probably De Gea re-signing, a 2 or 3 year extension. It'd be like a new signing if it does happen.

I still expect he will leave next summer though, just means we can get a bit more for him though.
 
Why not? This is the manager who madr Schweinsteiger from a mediocre winger to one of the best midfielders of all time. I'd trust his judgment in positional training anyday.
One of the best midfielders of all time? Steady on.. hes good but not that good
 
All of those players were kicking up a big fuss about wanting to leave, but that isn't the case with Kane.

The fantasies that some of you entertain are wonderful to behold ...

They aren't fantasies they are theories. What's the point in creating a "who do you think the mystery striker thread is" and then criticising people for putting a theory forward. We have been linked with Kane on and off, he was the best young striker probably anywhere in the world last year as far as goals/games at the highest level go and Spurs are fundamentally a selling club when the big boys come calling they struggle to hang on to their players, it's a fact.

Don't worry I won't be rushing out to get his name tatooed on my chest until I read it in the Daily Star, that's when I'll know for sure it's on, but for now I think it was a reasonable enough theory
 
One of the best midfielders of all time? Steady on.. hes good but not that good
Not many People put in MOTM performances consistently through big tournaments, he certainly did. Has arguably won everything too, i think he's in that bracket.
 
I think Kate Upton is the new Fred The Red and Old Trafford will now be called the Game Of War stadium.
 
Well he said "maybe a surprise, not the one you are reporting" or something like that, then later "it is a process" so it has to be someone.
 
Any other manager/club doing this and they'd be called a circus but Van Gaal is just trolling and toying with the media.
 
LVG's English is so bad he's struggling to say what he actually means. How can a Dutchman's English be that bad?
 
NEither Muller nor Pedro are strikers. I think we're getting a CF/AM/Winger. Basically a Forward that aren't limited to just being strikers.

So, it's either Pedro or Muller or both.

Every summer.
 
Van Gaal is obviously playing games with the media.

Yeah... I think LVG likes screwing with the press types when he can... that is when he's not being surly with them.

He knows what muppets most of them really are
