kdb isn't even in the same league as the other two.

Neymar and pogba are the potential ballon d'or winners of tomorrow.

Oh I agree but should he emulate similar assisting/scoring stats this season then I think its fair to say he is.
 
we're in need of some positive media coverage. the last few weeks we've just seemed both desperate, indecisive and naive, and yes the papers write what they want to like the Neymar story, but you don't hear this shit from the likes of citeh and chelsea.
because we have more fans so stories like this get more clicks when they involve UTD, more so than if they had chelsea/citeh attached to them.

Sports online journalism 101. United = Clicks.

20 assists and 10 goals. In his first season in the prem ?

Unlikely, can't even see him getting 10 assists and 5 goals tbh. He will contribute strongly towards their overall attacking play I admit but he won't be running the show like he was at wolfsburg where everything went through him.
 
You seriously believe that we never went for him?
When Woodward was reported to be in Barcelona to tie up the deal a few days ago?
All the non-stop press reports for the last 30 days, about the Pedro deal.
It got to such a stage, where some people started putting Pedro in their starting line-ups in the match day thread. If you dont believe me, go check it out.

The simple truth is, we both went for him, but he chose Chelsea...for whatever reason.
I never said that. I was referring to the tweet that saviet was calling misleading? And quoting the article. Obviously not my views.
I saw all that yeah. Read up on the conversation...
 
I don't see what's hard to understand? United have clearly been looking for 1 big name who can make a difference. We've enquired about Bale, Muller and now Neymar as well. Doesn't mean we will sign any of them, just that we've asked the question. Do the sun want to report that? Of course they do, it sells papers!
 
As for pedro, I believe that he simply chose Chelsea over us because they demonstrated that they wanted him more.

Absolutely. We could and should have signed him earlier. But we dilly-dallied. Chelsea come in and bang, transfer done. No messing. They showed they wanted him. It was an absolute no-brainer for him to sign for Chelsea.
 
So, basically, we've enquired about almost all of the World's top players and, unsurprisingly, been told to F-off at every opportunity.

How odd.

Yep we should stick to enquiring about the second tier players so we can complain about not going for the top talent.
 
Its his bed that he is making, at the end of the season, he must be prepared to lie in it.
Tbh I think he's just saying that. If he thought that, we wouldn't have put a bid in for Muller as has widely been said.

I dont know what to think about the Muller bids as Bild said we bid 100 mil for him..then a week later say we have bid 85 mil..our we decreasing our bids or are they making things up..We might have an interest but not actually have bidded..Seeing as we arent getting Muller, I hope we have someone else in mind
 
It's either His hands are tied financially, or that he's a fecking idiot.
It's not a question of money though. He's been talking about pace but also players better then what we have, so ideally United want that marqee signing but that prob wont happen this summer.
 

So we can probably guess which side of the situation served as the source of the Sun's story - we should make a point of denying these type of links unless we are paid commission by the agent once the player has renewed with his existing club.
 
After what happened with Pedro, do you really think he is going to tell the press what positions we need to strengthen?
This. What are people expecting him to say? "We are going to try and sign a striker", first club we go to will immediately bump their asking price.
 
Well LvG will have to deal with the squad and the results if he fails to deliver. At the end of the day it's him who will leave if we'll have a disappointing season. With the attack we field right now, I'm not too optimistic.

Yep. We need a forward to challenge for the league. We have made improvements in midfield and defence but it won't be enough to finish 1st/2nd unless we improve a lot upfront, and the only way I see us doing that is entering the transfer market.
