so what the papers say is that our remaining targets are Vidal and Blind? If we dont get Vidal, then De Jong? I would be happy with it. Still think Benatia is gettable and we should be after him too.
 
Correct, and in the biggest games like the CL final for example he ended up on the left, also had a great season on the left in 04-05 when we played 4-3-3/4-5-1 with him, RvN and Ronaldo up front.

He started the UCL final up top though, right? Ronny was on the left against Essien. Anyway he's lost a bit of pace and doesn't seem to dribble much these days, so playing him on the left wouldn't be as effective.

Yeah, if I remember correctly we switched in the second half to 4-5-1 with Hargreaves in the middle. Now when I think about it Rooney probably ended up on the right with Ronaldo playing left the whole game because he had problems against A.Cole in the past.
 
Bayern just negotiating, that's all. They depending on the player probably forcing the price/wage demands down by a few million etc.

Benefits of being super successful etc.
 
The same rumours that Di Maria only wanted PSG because of Champs League football?
An LVG led MUFC is miles better than anything in France...Champs League or not.

The Di Maria transfer clearly indicates that we have money to spend and will push the boat out if LVG requests it.
I think we have a solid chance of getting both Vidal and Benatia at this rate.
I don't think there was any rumors concerning Di Maria and UCL football. His problem was wages and PSG were willing to match them. Also I get you're trying hard to be a muppet but lets calm it down a bit.

Yes there were rumours that initially Di Maria was set on PSG because he wanted Champions League footie.
I am perfectly calm my friend... and I maintain I have a feeling we'll get Vidal or Benatia...or both, we can agree to disagree.
 
Does anyone think the reason we denied benatia is that we have someone lined up as an alternative?

Thats also true, imo Van Gall.has a dilemma. Either he benches one of Mata, Rooney or plays one of them.on the wing. Imo Rooney on the wing makes more sense.
 
That's very disappointing. If we don't sign a defensive midfielder we won't make top 4.

Hes not the only DM, and it was said a while ago he was happy at Milan tbh

I agree. A defensive midfielder is a must. Not sure about Blind as he is mainly a left back and we need a experienced defensive midfielder. If we were to add Vidal along with a defensive midfielder then our midfield would be completely transformed.
 

Liverpool wouldn't be Liverpool if they didn't have at least one controversial cnut playing for them.

Also i haven't checked but who wants to be that rawk are saying Ballotelli is a better player than DiMaria?

They are.

Sky Sports are doing a poll for who will be the better signing and its about 54-46 to Di Maria.

Can only assume its the deluded scousers fault its that close.
