10th in the transfer accuracy league table. 20% of their rumours end up being correct.
Please God let this be true.
Is that based on United or all transfer stories?
Daily Mail are pretty shit on the whole, as those statistics show, but Ian Ladyman has been pretty good with United stories so far.
All transfers.
Now that we have a big name manager, I hope we do not have to overpay clubs/players to convince them to join us. Also LVG and his dutch/german links always helps!
Absolutely. Him ''attacking'' the German market is brilliant news as there is so much quality there - relatively cheap and extremely talented young players along with established world-class ones that might be available this summer. We ignored the German market for far too long (can't remember the last time we signed a player from the German league before Kagawa) and missed out on so many gems, like Vidal for example. Good to see that's coming to an end.
Call me sad but I genuinely just googled "transfer accuracy league table", I was sorely disappointed.
Hargreaves
.This. Can't even begin to feign excitement given the source.
Supposedly we're planning to hijack Liverpool's move for Konoplyanka according to the Mirror. Most likely BS but I'd love for us to sign him from right under their noses, especially as they've just gotten CL football for the first time in years.
If all these names are true I can't wait for next season. My appetite is already whetted with van Gaal. Thank feck we've the world cup and not got 3 months of nothingness to get through
This, for sure. We need as many things as possible to help us feel like we're doing it knowingly, tongue-in-cheek. Which we are. Totally. 100%.
Oops, forgot about it.http://thiagometer.tumblr.com/ and no one updates it
So much agreed with this.
Netherlands will play against some quality teams. It'll be also excellent time for Louie to scout on further potential targets and choose best from the pool.
I actually love that. Radio silence until we announce. Like how it should be done. Not the whole : "We've bid for Fabregas... Ed's working on it." Nonsense.
That's an obvious yes. Van Gaal rates Strootman very highly and he was fundamental to the Dutch National Team's 4-3-3. They're changing to the 3-5-2 only because he is injured.
€53 million? I thought he was available for €40 million? Ah summer...
Classic Woodward. Available for 40? Lets give them some extra cash. Just like the Fellaini deal.
At least we're overpaying for player's early in the window and not late. Good ol' dithering Dave.
We're not going to turn this thread into another transfer saga farce. It will be tightly moderated.
Classic Woodward bashing. Let's give the man a chance this window shall we?
God don't be so serious..
Well I'm sure glad he explained that one.
Sigh. You're right. I need to de-stress.
Did I imagine it or were certain twitter accounts banned from being posted in this thread due to their high BS level?
I'm loving the direct nature of van Gaal's answers, no umming and ahhing, very precise in his responses.
He is United qualities... confident, know what he wants, doesn't put up with nonsense. How I wish I know dutch.
I know betting odds should be taken lightly, especially as bookies make nicely when the player stays at a club, but Shaw & Kroos are both 1/8 on Skybet. Cesc is Evens. I start buying into this crap when it gets to this time of night and no new sources are available.
Wow, them Kroos odds have changed significantly from this morning...
I remember last year when Thiago was 1/16 to join us...If not 1/32 in fact, but anyway, I was so excited.
If only I knew now what I knew then, I'd be a lot richer anyway

We heard weeks before he arrived that he had targets and wants to turn this ship around. He's a man who wants players to fit into his formula, so its makes sense he wants players and plenty of them. I'm 50 times more confident that he can deliver the good than I was last year. I have yet to hear the dreaded "we are working on things" like last year. Christ, last summer was horrible.

He's exactly the type of player I'd love to see at OT.

Without a doubt, he comes across as a leader who is here to win.
