Who's that over his shoulder?
He's laughing at Valencia lurking behind Rooney.
I thought you were being kinda racist, didn't see Tony at all! He's pulling a creepy Ashley Cole
Okidokee
RHD was just kidding, plus not all Norn Iron residents carry British passports, I and a fair few other North men and women carry Irish passports. Just a little fact for you.

RacistIt was worth it pointing out Welbeck in the pic, gas so it was.
Just wanted to know what you mean, I get you nowAll X race looks the same kinda way, was a misunderstanding
Valencia's gone all gangsta these days..
Keep yer head down when he's about - the angry one..
Didn't Van Gaal also say something along the line of "We are still looking at players, we still have a month left" or something?
So he did not rule out signings?
So he did not rule out signings?
Yep. He did say that. He said he wants to give the current players a fair go before looking elsewhere. He implied that there is no rush to sign anyone as there is a month left.
However he didn't rule out signing anyone, at all.
He has definitely not ruled them out. In fact he said we're trying to get a CB
"Should we all be racist now Kid? What's the official line the Caf has taken on this?
Only, the farm takes up most of the day, and at night I just like a cup of tea. I mightn't be able to devote myself full time to the old racism.."
He'd be a great choice.
Evans would be a good choice.
If he can stay fit definitely. Fletch would be the ideal choice, but he's not gonna be 1st choice & thats the absolute criteria..
1st & foremost, we need more than one leader on the pitch. Top to bottom we need talkers & not wimps.
Remember the 94 team?
11 leaders on the pitch - thats what we need more than one with an armband right now & i think we're well on our way with that objective.
After watching quite a few of the training sessions with Van Gaal - they're all buying into his thinking & thats United in a nutshell!
Couldn't agree more. The chemistry that is seemingly being built by van Gaal and his philosophy is exactly what this team needs.
It also lets LvG avoid the Rooney/RvP situation if he made either of them captain, so the choice is a good one from all angles I think.
Rio - good on form.
Vidic - good on form.
Evra - good on form.
Giggs - good on form.
Fellaini - Not suitable.
By "good on form" I mean, able to put a game together where they still look like their former selves and are able to look like world beaters, which brings about a nostalgic factor making fans want to see them play week in/out, which will end in tears in my view.
Cleverley, Nani, Rafa, Smalling, Jones, and Young are hanging on by their last pube of potential or too injury prone.
Clev, Nani, Smalling (potential in my personal view) or simply too injury prone (Rafa and Jones). Young just seems to get away with being a nice guy.
Too long of a post to put too much detail in this thread, but I reckon I could back that arguement up if needed.
If not, I could quite as easily just blame Moyes.
And! Let's see how the guys do this year (apart from Giggs of course).
United by name - United by nature! Thats what we're about!!
Fergie & LvG are of the same ilk & its frighteningly ironic, that we have LvG with the same mantra to knock the shit out of perches in his way..
Good point DMC. I had the same tune playin in my mind, but i'm also wary of the bruised-ego's of Roo & RvP.
Its up to them to deal with it & do their f*ckin job though!
I'd make Evans the captain and Fletch the Vice Captain.. Both are United through and through plus very well experienced too. Carrick is another who should be in with a shout but I think he's too mild a person to be the leader LvG wants on the pitch

I could give my low-down on most of that RB, but i've done that already probably 50 times recently & its become tiring goin around the block again. So, i'll just give the short version man.
If we had all the players we wanted to bring in right now - we'd all be singing from the same hymn sheet for the start of the season & ready to go. So this squad is gonna be the starting squad for Swansea at the very least..
Indeed. And it's also frightening that the club (and Fergie) believed David Moyes was capable of carrying on that tradition of the club. They couldn't have been more wrong in their assessment. Glad it's over with and that we have LVG instead. What a difference it will be.United by name - United by nature! Thats what we're about!!

Carrick was my tip for the captaincy until he got injured. The tour was the chance for squad / management bonding & Carrick would have stood out as being a leader in his own way.
Technically - Carrick pisses over most of the squad. Superb footballer & good guy, who leads by example too.
He's been one of the 1st names on the sheet when he's fit since 2006 & i still think he might get it. Its between him & Evans in my opinion, but Evans cant guarantee being injury free - Carrick's been ever-present season after season since he signed.
I dont see the point in handing the captaincy to someone who cant string a sentence together i.e. Rooney at press conferences or interviews. RvP unsurprisingly can handle it no sweat, but he's relatively only in the door & cant guarantee being fit next season - given a tough WC were he faded pretty badly & last season's injury woes ala Arsenal's nightmare.
Either way, its Evans & Carrick as the front-runners for me..
Cleverley might be the black horse though & if that shit happens - i'm off to FC United!
From what's been reported man, Moyes wasnt 1st choice anyway - far from it.
Fergie approached Pep in New York, but he had agreed to take the Bayern job. Ancelotti was asked also, but he agreed to manage Real & Mourinho said he'd only come back to the Prem to manage Chelsea. Klopp wasnt goin anywhere either!
The word on the street was, that no top manager wanted to take over United after Fergie - it was the job after the last guy that appealed to most.
As f*cked up as this might sound - last season's misery could just be worth it, now that we have LvG & his merrymen in charge to freshen up the club like Fergie did in '86.
LvG is most certainly knockin bollox's in - like Fergie did back then & thats what we want to see. Earn the right to play for the club or f*ck off..
News is so slow that Adnan's tweets are now disagreeing with each other!
I think that sounds a bit stupid. Not from you. How do we have enough time? Its not easy signing players nowadays anyways. Or we ll have to over pay for a average player on the last day.
That's be stupid, Monaco have everything to lose and nothing to gain by loaning him for a season. If he sustains another injury they'd not get any good value for him and Real would just dump him back.
Is GDS Juve's mouthpiece? Or is that tuttosport?
Why is the Italian media pushing this story so much? Are Juventus desperate to cash in? Don't really see why they would be.. but then again, if they could get 40-50m for a player without whom they could still win that crap league comfortably, I can see them being tempted.
