Reus to Bayern is nailed on. If he's rejected a contract renewal it's because he already knows where he's going.
 
While we are speculating, I don't think they will let this happen after losing Gotza/Lawdonski to Bayern.. That will be a big low for them.

Unless they sell now, they can't stop him.

So come on Dortmund, we'd give you Kagawa in return too!
 
We should offer them 50m or something for him.
Better to lose him this season to a foreign team for a good price than to lose him bayern next season for 35m
 
Ffs now apparently Kroos isn't mobile :lol:

He played CDM by himself against us in the 2nd leg and has performed well in every position in the centre of the pitch. What the hell does being "mobile" even mean In regards to footballers? How can you call a guy who can play CAM,CM,CDM all at a high level "not mobile"? :rolleyes:

Im guessing they are saying he can't really run the ball but like I said Scholes did the one-two and drilled balls cross field. Kroos is very well adept at that. Im not saying Im pissed Herrera is here. He is a good player and Im glad we have him but its just that Kroos is a better player and would have been thrilled to see him in a United shirt.
 
Obviously he's not better at "everything" which is why I put "Pretty much" in there. But as of right now Kroos is miles better than Herrerra and has constantly played at a much higher level.
Playing for Bayern probably helped with that. And the Bayern fans haven't exactly been crestfallen that he left.

I like Kroos a lot in fairness and he's looked the most Scholesy-like of any available midfielder, but Herrera's someone that shone against Barca and Real multiple times and has pretty much every attribute we could want in our central midfield. Plus he seems an absolute gem of a bloke that I'm delighted to have in our squad for the foreseeable future. Yeah Kroos would've been great, but we've got someone who's also top quality so there's no real need to moan for the sake of moaning.

We were shit. Playing well against us just isn't much of an achievement.
If others were fit he wouldn't have played DM.
 
Didn't Reus say he wouldn't go to Bayern like Gotze and Lewandowski?
He is definitely not going to Barca. Madrid? Maybe. They push Ronaldo up top and play Reus on the left and Bale on the right. What a team that would be? Chelsea, City and United are also options.
 
Van Gaal apparently wants a squad of 24 so doubt we'll be replacing all of them, its hard enough to pick 24 for the lot we have already.

Have heard the same, but with Carricks injury losing 2 more midfielders would leave us short in there so we would need at least one addition, losing Nani and Kagawa leaves us with just Young, Valencia & Januzaj minus a few other youngsters for wide options so i would imagine like LVG said in his interview we would need a specialist winger.

---------------De Gea
-------------Lindegaard

Rafael---Smalling--Evans--Shaw
RB-------Jones-----CB------LB

Valencia--Herrera--Cleverle--Januzaj
Young-----Fletcher--CM-------LW
-----------Carrick

----------------Mata
---------------Rooney

---Hernandez--RVP--Welbeck


This is a rough idea of our squad minus the 4 who are rumoured to be leaving and what it would need signings wise to replace them. Thats 22 outfield players + 2 keepers.

I think he'll end up in the PL. A team that's in the CL. There's definitely a place for him at all the big clubs here unlike at Barca/Real. Who he'll go to? No idea but I wouldn't even rule out Arsenal, they'd be willing to spend the money and if they go on and win something this season he may just want to join some of his fellow countryman.
 
Reus will not go to Bayern, he'll probably wrap up that deal he had to go to Barca before they spent all their cash on Saurez.
 
'Won't be forced into the market unless we can improve the squad'

Anyone would improve it. This is just more 'there's no value' bullshit.

fecks sake.
 
He went a long way to creating the problem with #10's in our squad.
I love mata but we didn't particularly need him.
He should've bloody known that fellaini was dogshit everywhere except #10.
Add januzaj to that list as he broke through in moyes first season.
He was a #10 for the youth teams wasn't he?

I can't be bothered to read the argument back so i can't tell what point you're actually trying to make here. But just pointing out that you've identified pretty much the only good things that happened when Moyes was here: bringing Januzaj through so successfully, and buying Mata.

There's so much to complain about from last season, let's not start turning the positives into negatives.

(And for reference, Januzaj wasn't a #10 in the youth teams, he was a winger. Played pretty much the same way he did for the first team, sometimes going outside sometimes coming inside.)

Versatility and mobility are seriously distant concepts.
 
MUTV are too busy showing ex deadwood Mame Diouf and Macheda play snooker, for the 5th time today. Can't even show the bloody press conferences of the manager. Awful station.

Nah, just not wanting to seem desperate, with a pocket of cash.

Didn't know that, thanks.
Someone was saying moyes said the squad was imbalanced last season and was given grief for it - i said he made matters 'worse' basically (in terms of imbalancing the squad, i like mata).
 
No shit captain obvious.

I fecking hope so otherwise it will be September.
That's more like 5 weeks. 3 weeks brings us to the start of the premiership more or less.

They're showing it at 7am in their Tour 14 programme. I guess they assume most people who have MUTV (it's only available in the UK, other than via illegal stream, right?) won't be up watching press concerences at 1.15am.
 
Oh that Fellaini news made me tingle, hopefully he goes even if it's only on loan, for all our hacks to cover it at the same time you'd have to think the mop is on the way out one way or another. Ando and Nani were certs to leave so no surprise there. As for Kagawa, I think it makes sense with the system we are going to be playing as Adnan needs as much game time as possible and now will at the very least be Mata's understudy.
