I already know that, but if the players really wanted to stay, they would come out and say it.
I don't condemn any player, everybody changes their job at some stage , footballers are no different.
Keegan's just read the Goal France report from 3 weeks ago when PSG "opened talks with United and ADM agreed a pre-contract " and have since met 73 times but no-one has agreed anything
Its this, psg want him so they are taking a leaf out of real madrid's transfer playbook. Do people really think if it was true the rest of the journalists wouldn't be all over it? British transfer record player unhappy and about to join psg and like 2 places are actually reporting it?
Pretty sure he already has a few times this summer, maybe he has changed his mind though
There's a difference between looking like you're struggling and looking like you can't be arsed.Or maybe he had a difficult first season in the EPL... I mean its not like its ever happened before
But people keep saying that and it never works that way, the only player Ive heard to actually positively come out and say he's staying recently was delph and he left a few days later. The issue is people read things and take them at face value but the reality is everybody has their own agenda they are pushing and to be blind to that or wilfully ignore it is asking for trouble.
Yes let's take perfectly legitimate goals and assists away. Wow look at that. He has 0 assists and 0 goals.
Yes but the can't be asked part is you're own opinion tbh. Getting sent off vs Arsenal didn't look like he couldn't be asked to me.
People who are struggling react in different ways though, some people try to hide and on a football pitch its very easy for that to look like a player can't be arsed, he's not the first to do it and he won't be that last.
Good news
How highly do you rate him?
I got happy reading it and then I saw below it Llorente news for which, if I am not wrong, source is fecking Mirror. Given that, not sure how much to believe the Pedro part of AS article.
That's close to 17m basic and 4 mill add on. Not too costly. If we are selling AdM, let's sell for close to £50m and we get a nice profit.
Pedro is a winger
That would be my classification anyway. I imagine he'll occupy our RW spot...
I want him to stay, feel he's better than what some give him credit for. I won't lie, he's not better than Messi, Suarez and Neymar, but there's no shame in that. For the prices quoted, i feel you're getting a bargain. One issue for me is can he physically deal with the Premier League.
Not exactly tbh, hes very much a forward, even if he operates out wide quite a bit. For instance Neymar is not a winger, even though he plays wide left for Barca
Edited my post, do you think he'll play on our RW?

I imagine if we play 4-3-3 then yes, but I don't think him and Depay (on the left) will operate like wingers... make of that what you like.
Also I would imagine quite a bit of interchange between the front 3.
Yeah I'd agree with that. Sounds
too...Neither was James Rodriguez but he did the job. He'll play on the right of a 3 which is what we need.
Think I've seen Szczesny linked to Ajax, but also Roma. Ajax must like their 'keepers to have names that are difficult to spell.
I'm inclined to agree, I still don't want to see such a brilliant 'keeper leave. I think the position is so under appreciated, a good goalkeeper gives you a solid, reliable base to build a defence upon. You only have to see the improvement when we signed Van Der Sar, and how we struggled in the transition between Schmeichel and Edwin.
The second bit regarding Ramos though, I disagree. Ramos has experience and pace, but more importantly, composure. We need a defender comfortable on the ball. If you look at the way we are trying to play, we dominate possession and the defenders see a lot of the ball. Defensively, they generally have little to do, and most teams are forced to play a counter attacking style against us. This is where pace is very important, as well as composure and ability on the ball. With a stronger midfield as well, the defenders should have less defending to do, but more responsibility in possession.
I prefer Romero as first choice to Cillessen from the little I've seen of the two. If he's to be a back up 'keeper though, I'm happy with that strength in depth. I like Johnstone though too, he could have a big future for us.
If we're sticking with one striker then Pedro will be a winger, not a striker.
I think it's pretty clear that De Gea was taken on tour to strengthen our position, but he won't play, and he's almost certainly not injured. It's also pretty clear that Di Maria wanted PSG from the very start, but they couldn't afford him last season. Now that they can, I'd expect him to leave as well. The issues we've had with Valdes mean that he'll be out the door soon too, so we will need a new 'keeper, and I think it's Romero.
The rumours of Pedro solve two issues we have, a replacement for Di Maria, and cover for Rooney. A while ago, before Di Maria was set to leave, Van Gaal said we were in for two more players: Romero and Ramos. Now with Di Maria leaving, it'll be three: Romero, Ramos and Pedro.
This way, Benzema to Arsenal and Reus to Madrid makes sense.
Bayern saying they will sell no other player to United makes sense.
Dortmund rejecting the sale of Aubameyang to Arsenal makes sense.
Barcelona signing Arda Turan as cover to replace Pedro makes sense.
But who replaces Ramos at Real Madrid? Otamendi?

Evans? We can help out here.
My friend, the question is, can the Premier league deal with him?
One way to find out, sign him, play him, and we'll see. i'm resigned to it happening.
There's tweet discussion, then there's a shit load of discussion that should really be in the di Maria thread.
We have too much money for sense now. "Oh DiMaria had a dodgy season so get lets get rid and get another shiny toy, it doesn't matter if he's our record buy and a worldclass player, we have plenty of wonga Van Man!".
Di Maria was the wrong 'shiny toy' in the first place. We're finally buying the players we need and if that means that ADM has to leave to open up a place in the squad, so be it.
West Ham sign Manuel Lanzini on loan from Al Jazira.
Watford sign defender Miguel Britos from Napoli.
If that world class player wants to leave what to do then?We have too much money for sense now. "Oh DiMaria had a dodgy season so get lets get rid and get another shiny toy, it doesn't matter if he's our record buy and a worldclass player, we have plenty of wonga Van Man!".
LVG said it himself, it's up to the player.
That same man whose pic you posted has had a really god transfer window thus far.
All of that ignores the most obvious issue, which is that he doesn't appear to suit LVG's style of play/what he wants from him. So if that is the case - though personally I'd prefer coaches to be able to get the best from what they have - then it makes perfect sense to try to recover most of his value and spend it on a player that can do what LVG wants. Also - and I appreciate this is subjective - I don't think he's looked remotely arsed about being here since early on in his time.We have too much money for sense now. "Oh DiMaria had a dodgy season so get lets get rid and get another shiny toy, it doesn't matter if he's our record buy and a worldclass player, we have plenty of wonga Van Man!".
Well that's sorted then, /thread
Selling Di Maria is the wrong decision. Every player deserves at least 2 season to prove himself. We gave the likes of Anderson feckin over 5 years to prove himself !!
Gotta say I do agree with this, as well as the post directly above mine (by El-Manos). ADM is a fantastic player, but he was not one of the top three players for us last season and for me, he didn't justify the cash we spent on him. Personally I'd prefer he stay, and improve and adapt, but I would prefer our signings be more in line with what the manager feels will help us win rather than "marquee for the sake of marquee" signings.
