Maybe he's hammered & still on the razz since the POTY awards?
Valid point, but he must be getting smashed every single week. Clearly on the hard drugs too looking at the state of his nose!
 
Anyone thinking Van Troll is trolling the media for some purpose (to keep the media busy and writing about him and less about the players, to incite the squad, to... I have no idea, maybe to make some advertising for the brand "Manchester United", maybe that's the deal: The players can focus on the preparation and Van Gaal entertains the masses.)

I am not really serious about that one, but you have to say that he is either doing it for some purpose or it just means real, real fun for ihm.

I don't know what the purpose is, but I agree. LvG detestes the media and the shite they write on a daily basis, just look at his interviews. I don't see him trying to help them sell more papers by giving them a gentle nudge in the right direction in identifying our targets. This is probably a wild goose chase to occupy them for a few days while the club focus on the proper targets.

It's a waste of time trying to discover this un-linked target. Especially given we're linked with just about everybody.
 
LVG's English is so bad he's struggling to say what he actually means. How can a Dutchman's English be that bad?
LVG's English isn't that bad for a man of his age, they just had very little exposure to American media when they were young. Depay on the other hand...
 
I've been thinking about this surprise - I reckon the way he's built it up, it can't be 'just another signing' or someone already widely linked like Ramos, Ottamendi or Pedro - he didn't refer to our signings to date as surprises.

So, I've narrowed it down to:

(i) De Gea signing a new contract or
(ii) a huge marquee signing - a Bale or Ronaldo
 
Not surprised about Louis' u-turn:lol:
Either his English is getting worse or he's had one too many glasses of wine before the press conferences:D
 
Am I to spread my Muller dreaming here - considering all other threads are closed. Pardon me :p
 
I don't know what it is but it's going to be a real gooden. Schweinsteiger will look like an average signing compared to this one.

Dutch people have been learning English at a young age for decades.

You can't really rule out anyone all he said was it's not the player linked in the paper so other than whoever that player was it could be anyone else. This all seems destined to end in a big anti climax.

My generation does, my fathers generation learned English in school but LVG could be my granddad. I dont think he had English in school and if he had it wasnt at a very high level i suppose. Before he became a manager he was a gym teacher, i dont think he learned much English at school tbh.

Ahh yes. We have never been linked to Gaitan. Must be him
 
9 goals in 45 matches this year. We might as well buy Welbeck back

I still don't understand why United sold Welbeck. Unless he didn't want to be a back-up, but that what he is at Arsenal right now, isn't he?
