Just think, this is just the start with more to come!
I'd be surprised if we don't sign at least one Dutchman this window
I fear Vermaelen is actually the next signing. Ah well, it was going to be way too good otherwise.
Tbh I've been very relaxed this summer compared to last, and with LvG it'll definitely be easier to attract the players we want. I'm convinced he'll get more out of the players we have and with some quality additions it looks very promising. We're in for a fun summer I think.
From that article: "Reports in Italy on Thursday also claimed Juventus were bracing themselves for a £30m bid from United for Chile’s Arturo Vidal, who has shone at the World Cup."
I don't think we will go in for Sanchez if im honest
I think you'd go after Vidal first then try Sanchez.
Agreed. Having a manager I trust helps a lot. Also, I was pretty sure we wouldn't make the same mistakes the club made last summer. We do have a very good team that only needs a few players to become a great one, so yeah I think Van Gaal will get more out of them.
Fun summer indeed, today was great and tomorrow it's Shaw's turn! It's all looking very positive right now.
I have a feeling that LVG is keen on Robben and Sanchez is only a back-up. Hopefully we won't be late in moving for Sanchez, it seems Liverpool and Arsenal are very keen on him.
Bahh.. just gossip from the Star. Was hoping it was an actual BBC article.
Why would we get Vidal for as cheap as £30million? Did I miss something? Are they broke?
Vidal's a £50million+ player surely.
Oh ffs, I got so excited for a moment.
Two signings so close together, there is going to be so much crap written in the next week or so
But they're completely different playing positions, why would one impact the other? I'd rip your hand off for one of them though.
Vidal just got the Nurse endorsement. No stopping us now!
I hate Howard Nurse and his baldy fecking head.
I think they are good mates, what better way to sway a player who might be slightly unsure than to have his mate there too
Howard Nurse probably means Gore Vidal.
Vidal's passing accuracy last season was 83% and Ander's was 80%. That that doesn't look like the best combo on paper for a club with Champions League aspirations.
Nonsense.
Those stats mean nothing. Britton had like 90% passing I recall few seasons back. That shows they don't pass sidewards and are prepared to play a forward pass.
Ander played as an attacking midfielder for most of last season and therefore a lower accuracy is to be expected. Both definitely have the capability to pass accurately and consistently if instructed.
On second thoughts, you're right, let's just play Carrick and Cleverley and stay in the centre-circle.
This
Ander in particularly is pretty worthless. He was playing at number 10 last season and the Bilbao team press high up the pitch, as a result they have less slow possession and are more likely to lose it.
Fellaini, Fletcher Cleverley, and Carrick all had 88%+. Should we just keep them and play them as part of our aspirations?
Or it means their pass selection or technique isn't all that great.
High passing accuracy should be a given. Scholes could manage it whilst also playing risky passes.
Right about what?
Britton has 90% passing, we should sign him then.
What the feck is all the defensiveness about? You guys are making it sound like I've just dick-slapped your mums in the face. All I did was make an observation.
You've got your logic backwards. High accuracy + quality passing is what we should aim for. If a player lacks in either, questions deserve to be asked.
A reply like that is defensive, mate.Not signing Vidal to go with Herrera?
Also, do you really think that Scholes made a large amount of risky passes? You clearly didn't pay much attention, his main role was keeping the ball moving rather than constantly trying defence-splitting passes.
He never provides any actual info. Just comments on United's movement that he's found out like the rest of us. Then when he gets bored he decides to tweet ''Not expecting a quite week at United'' or something equally as cock teasing. Huge WUM.
Exactly. And there are not many Scholes/Xavi/Pirlo like players about.
If you think Vidal and Herrera can't pass then you clearly haven't watched them. And just prefer looking at stats instead.
I'm drunk but we will try for Vidal I can feel it.
Shaw as well.
Shaw as well.
He basically just finds loads of ways to say "Manchester United are still a football club guys"
I never offered a point about the way they play. I've not seen enough of them.
I never said that. I was hoping people would try to explain why the signing would make sense, because it seems lacking on paper. Instead I got a load of posts about Britton, Cleverley, Fellaini, et al. I want to know if Herrera/Vidal can stand on their own merits.
He played lots of risky passes. Were you paying attention?
Herrera and the best central midfielder in the world isn't the best combo for a club that wants to get into the top 4? feck it, lets get Britton and Carrick and we can have a pendulum of side passes to win us the treble
