i really think accounting to chris needs to pipe down with the united bashing or at the very least find a club of his own to support
the fact a 7th place finish is referred to by urself and many others as the worst possible thing says it all..
let me start by saying that when fergie left no one could possibly expected united to remain at the top of the league with david moyes in charge here was a guy who had won nothing as a manager and inherited a very average quad in parts and alot a few past their best...
we now have a manager in place who has won league titles in 3 different countries a champions league and took a very average dutch team all the way to the semi finals of a world cup.. fair to say he's capable
dropping out of the european places last year was admittedly not expected by any united fan but it happened.. liverpool dropped out of europe last year and finished 2nd
and while we are on the subject of liverpool we are talking about a club who last season despite playing some of the best football in the league and being able to focus on every league game without european distraction managed to blow their best chance of a league title in nearly 25 years up in smoke... they have lost their one and only world class player since so safe to say its not gunna get any better than last... they missed the boat and could well be another 25 years before they get another chance like that tbh
now im not gunna deny that all is rosy for united right now far from it but the fact remains that despite no champions league or any european football to offer we can still contrary to the mindless opinions of abus like urself attract the biggest names in word football.. the history and traditions of the club the fan base the financial muscle which is clearly still there playing infront of 76000 fans every week and for a manager that has won it all counts for alot..
and all those abus out there will have slipped into the shadows long before manchester united ever will thats for sure..
Grow a pair you wuss.
United are no longer England's top dog - accept it with dignity.id be able to take ur comment maybe even half seriously if u did own a pair...
You lost me there love burglar. Keep your sexist comments to yourself
and what because she has a set of tits its ok for her to insult me...
i dont think so
Although I do agree with this
What bit of the above do you disagree with?
You are monumentally overrated.
No lack of dignity here.
anyway Capital One cup round 2 says hi
Don't worry pal. I'll tell you the size of Manchester United. No European football, worst season in years and they're signing arguably Real Madrid's best player last year. There's banter then there's people being bitter. Transitional period at United. But they'll be back. Whether it's this season, next season or 3 seasons. Progression is key.
thats it mate
Liverpool are in pot 4, chances are that'll be the group of death, that will only be an extra 6 games this season. While Liverpool will not be as much of a force this season the squad has been strengthened and the philosophy remain intact, much like United they won't simply "slip into the shadows".
*Pot 3
Barca, Dortmund, Liverpool, Roma group coming up
To be fair I think plenty of people thought that the purchasing of RVP was a mistake. Not that he was wasn't a great signing for a season or two in himself...he was and no doubt (don't forget that Rooney was scoring for fun the season before that)...but plenty thought that SAF needed to invest elsewhere as well. That opinion was voiced by many at the time and it has proved to be right. The blame for United's demise (?) isn't just Moyes's, although he made a couple of bad signings, it lies in SAF's last year in charge as well...
very true wakey theres no doubt fergie neglected what was really needed in the long term the strengthening of the midfield.. i think before fellain the last centre mid we signed was anderson in 06 altho i cud be wrong but u get the drift... fergie knew that by getting rvp and keeping him out of the clutch of city and keeping him fit could win him the title back before he left and so it proved.. he wasnt thinking long term though ur right
Why the feck is my upvote button gone?!
+1
Wasn't that when you lot were so high and mighty Man U fans need thrown of their high horses thinking they are so high and mighty
easy tiger
Pelle on Jovetic:
At the moment, it is difficult to say who is the best striking partner for him because Alvaro Negredo is injured and Kun Aguero is not yet 100% but he can play with anyone.
Don't think we can read much into what a soton striker has to say about him
😆
😆
no mention of dzeko 😯
Mentions them all. Just says the standard line about playing a lot games and needing all 4 strikers.
He is saying that while Aguero and Negredo arent fit he cant compare as strike partners to Dzeko Id assume
So Jovetic is the number one choice then 🙂
I think the main thing to take is that he can play alongside Aguero, as nobody was sure, as that hadn't been seen last season. So it's not definitely a case of 1 of Dzeko/Negredo with 1 of Aguero/Jovetic
what i take from this is that kun/jov will be the main first choice partnership when all are fit.
dzeko/neg are average anyway imoDzeko is a super sub as well. He'll never drop that tag.
Makes me think that Jovetic is nailed for now after tonight's performance.
Jovetic is gonna become essential this year, can feel it.
Definitely not Aguero/Jovetic and Dzeko/Negredo then.

To bring Sterling in. 😯
And went 3-5-2. 😕 😀
'elite'
😆
🙂 🙂
that stings
Saw that. He was looking okay until MCI-LIV.
Ouch..
Trigger sold him too... for Bony...has anyone got his number?
just to check he's alright
Mata -> Fábregas -> Hazard.
Can't control that knee of yours Nate?😆
😆
What a fecking amateur.
😆
He's losing it. This is your season Parm.
I find it funny how a team who loses to Swansea at home and draws with Sunderland can buy a player for £60m!
Awkward 😳
😀
Perfect top post
It's part of a wicked plan, lulling everybody else into false sense of insecurity
One world. Manchester United. We are one of the most prestige clubs in the world. We have one of the largest fan base. We fall. We will rise again and di maria knows it
Is there a ring and a castle?
LOL 😀
Di Maria knows he's going to have a very very full wallet.
and soggy Italian shoes
I read this in Pablo's movie guy voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvv8SMTyAgk
Even as a small boy Di Maria must have always dreamt of playing alongside players like Cleverly, Fellani, Smalling, Young, Jones, Blackett, and Fletcher. Its just a realization of that dream Sarjent
😆
Jones is a fantastic talent and Fletcher is a good player.
@champ - I mailed you
lol
...to tell you what a tit Billy is.
It's a discussion that needs having 😉
lol
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/8064705
Must make sure this guy keeps to his word.
Yep, he's in hiding but too many people are on it for him to get away with it 🙂 Nasri capt not too bad in the end
I'm a Liverpool hero, I don't hide. I'm captaining him next week.
He should have said do the ice bucket challenge and post it on FFS
still waiting for Berbinho's Forehead vine as well
United are crap.
Absolutely 🙂
😆
I don't know why the spent so much before LVG even got there.
Herrera and Shaw may flop and DI Maria is too much.I've won about 20 titles mate ( not including ones I've got as a Madrid fan) how about you?
Have you won them? What is your name? dont think i remember seeing you out on the pitch for any of those 20 titles, sorry man
-4
😆
Di-Maria Mata Herrera Januzai
-----------Rooney RVP----------
And I bet they still lose to Burnley 😛
Herrera injured
U talk a lot of shite Bows
This we wil win are 22nd title
Lolcano
"Are" ?
Explain urself or put a sock in it
Explain myself? What is there to explain?
Just read through your comments history. You quite clearly have very little football knowledge yet you spout stuff like its gospel.
Get a grip man
They keep buying the wrong players
That's such an unbalanced team. No way can they play with that line up ever.
£59.7m agreed for Di Maria. Never thought I'd see us break the British transfer record again.
United been breaking every other record, might as well break the transfer one too
It's a lot of money
That's the intial amount I guess, more add-ons later
It's normally the other way. The £59.7m is the maximum if they win leagues and Champions Leagues. The upfront amount is probably a lot less than you think.
According to Guillem Balague ''Di María transfer fee. £63.9 which comes from £59.6 fixed plus £4.3 on adds on''
how do you think they'll line up granny?
4-3-3
i can see 4-4-2 diamond but not 4-3-3 bad for roon and mata if they do
Rooney or Mata will have to drop out of a 433. 4231 might accommodate both.
lvg plays a 4 3 3 - maybe rooney would be dropped
good article here which i posted ealier
http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2014-08-24/where-does-angel-di-maria-start-for-man-utd/
4-2-2-2 i reckon?
herrera carrick
mata adm
roo rvp?Same as City. Yeah maybe.
There's been a lot of prep work with the 352, so not sure if he will switch immediately. I can see Di Maria starting in a midfield 3 rather than up front out wide.
happy days but only a part of our requirements
No pressure then on him ha
Great news.
we're not finished yet either
FPL DOWN

That means you lose your wildcard! Unlucky....
Utd fans, what we doing?
A) City
B) Chelsea
This has probably been said before, but if you haven't changed the link to your team in your profile from last year, it will be the wrong one because the number will have changed!
If everyone had already realised then just ignore melol
Overall updated. 🙂
34k solid start.
Nice
One of the worst associations of words in the world.
Just reading the everton forums. They are calling Naismith the scottish Thomas Muller 😯
scottish gazza imo
Great description, similar style and "Scottish" clearly means significant drop off in quality
haha
Muller is the German Steven Naismith
only on the dortmund forums
😯
I really think Man Utd fans need to pipe down about the 20 titles... The worst thing possible has happened to them,
They've dropped out of Europe
They are getting dominated by their two worst rivals: Man city and Liverpool
The former of the above are PL champions (and are in Europe)
The latter of the above are PL runners up (and are in Europe)
The 'best manager in the world' hasn't got a clue how to make them play well
Manchester United will slip into the shadows of Europa league, and will be battling for 5th-6th
Neutral football fan.Sounds good to me 🙂
In what way have Liverpool dominated United?
Jesus...
I don't have to explain it do I?
2nd place WOW!!!!!
*QUAKE VOICE*
*DOMINATINGGGGGG*
Spurs look very good, they are fighting arsenal/liverpool and spurs for the champions league places. At the moment they won't get there
Honestly no point trying I've tried many of times but you'll never win an argument with the plastic fans.
Life has been so sweet since Fergie left. My London United fan friends don't even talk about football anymore
I haven't actually seen any Utd fans going on about this? They're well aware the worst thing possible has happened to them (I'm one).
You must be living in a bubble
See the last page
^ THIS. People just want another excuse to bring up United being crap...but everyone knows they are?
United are crap
I'm an Arsenal fan but that is utter garbage.
You got to love how people post their RMT's and it's full of last weeks top scorers. Makes me wonder how many hits are taken and if Im the only one with 1 WC.
And then suddenly in a week's time, they are all gone. Replaced my a new lot.
*shakes head
😳
If you were on a wc would you bring in Aguero this gw?
It's the wrong week to WC.
Seriously.thanks to all.
It's never the wrong/right week. Sometimes you just have to go for it otherwise you lose too much money and groundYeah, just pulling your leg.
I mean it is "wrong" for me in the sense that:
1. The transfer window is still open
2. Uncertainty on Kun
3.No real turn in fixtures.
4. We have a 2 week break shortly
Maybe.
If on WC, yes.
If not, no.
no
No
I am, and I have. Essential when he's playing IMO.
Unless you're planning on leaving 1.5m in the bank, then yes. Otherwise you'll end up needing to make at least two transfers to get him in. Either that, or just ignore him for the time being.
So what you basically saying is either yes, no but leave money for him, or don't bother at all.
I think that has all based covered 🙂
No
Yes but I agree with Ina. Bad week for it
20 points from krul, hutton, wisdom this week. Go the uber 😎
well done,i'm spending cash on jones and bego 😎

Haha how sideways is this? 😆
Terry & Dzeko > Ivanovic & Jovetic...
But I can afford it exactly...Makes no sense.
That could be a mad genius move. If the rest of your team doesn't need any work
complete sideways.
But not the silliest idea floated on here todayHold fire!
I didn't say I was thinking of doing it, only that I could afford it...
I would never my waste transfers doing this...
I'm shocked Madrid let Di Maria go, he's been their best player in recent seasons. He was man of the match in the Champions League Final, over the likes of Bale and Ronaldo. One of the best players in the world, and was the top assister in La Liga last season.
When you look at the top 3 EPL transfer records, his price doesn't look too bad.
Di Maria.....59.7m
Torres.......50m
Ozil............42.5m
.
LvG has previously said “At this moment, we have five No9s and four No10s and don’t have wingers to give us attacking width,” This suggests Di Maria will play wide.
He has also said it will take 2-3 months before the players will properly adjust to his system, indicating he is sticking with 352. Therefore, we can assume Di Maria will play as an "attacking" wingback.
Di Maria can defend well, and his pace will allow him to run up and down the wings with ease. I think he's perfect for the "attacking" RWB position. But I think he will be play more advanced than Shaw, maybe in a slanted formation. After all, football is dynamic and formations are flexible and shift throughout the match. We'll just have to wait and see. Exciting addition to the league though 🙂Massive coup for the club.
"We cannot play my favored 433 because we do not have quality wide options like Ronaldo or Di Maria." - LVG a little over week ago
Problem solved.
😀What would the team be if they go 4-3-3?
It's debatable just how it would set up but one thing is sure. Januzaj and Welbeck will be as or move involved than Mata.
That was an age ago.
The man is stubborn and has spent a long time working on the system with the players.
You cannot drop RVP Rooney or Mata.He is stubborn but he said that back when he saw those three as his best attackers. With Di Maria coming in Mata's no longer in the top 3. And he hasn't been at all happy with our attack so as he has said he will utilize the formation to get the best out of his players. One has to give way. And it won't be Di Maria, Rooney or RVP I assure you.
His formation will be based around the players at the club. Mata will not be dropped. Madness.
He never said the formation is the issue, he said it was the passing after the Sunderland match. He said it will take 2-3 months to get them used to the formation, as usual.He said, and I quote, he was upset with "how slow we moved the ball forward" which is a stinging indictment on Mata.
You don't drop a top quality player because they were passing a ball too slow. That is something you work on in training. He's massive on player development.
You also don't drop a top quality player for half a season and then sell him to one of your rivals.
thats more to do with cleverley and fletcher surely
thats the main problem in the team and core to how the team functions
those 2 central midfielders are there to 1. give protection to the centre halves when needed and 2. feed the attackers infront of them and pick out their runs
both cleverly and fletcher are incapable of that and surely now lvg knows this..
with another top central midfielder the difference to the team as a whole will honestly be huge in defence and attackNo way. Do you really think LVG expects Tom Cleverley and Darren Fletcher to push us forward? That's Mata's chief job in the "trequirtista" role and not only was he not doing that he was barely showing for the ball.
id be astonished if lvg didnt expect one of his central midfielders to push the team forward but the point is cleverley and fletcher cant they just arent capable its that simple.. and neither are they capable of finding mata in the final third and the position he picks up because again they are incapable of doing so..
So then why did Mata keep taking up those positions instead of coming deep to get on the ball and influence the game? Silva does that. Hell, nearly every player of Mata's ilk does that. He's a complete passenger every match and he belongs nowhere near a top club.
I agree, though United need to strengthen in a number of positions for him to be able to really blossom. Predicted incoming fantasy price?
10m
CM is all that's left to address.
If Vidal fails, United are getting De Jong, I think.
And a commanding CB is needed. A leader.Sorted at the back. Two CM needed. Vidal and Blind would have us properly back to our best. Juve owe us that after we basically handed Pogba to them on a plate.
There are literally about 10 midfielders out there which would improve us. It doesn't have to be Vidal, although that would be the dream I guess....
Carvalho
Khedira
Schneiderlin
Lucas Silva
Geis
Bender
Bender
Enzo Perez
Clasie
Gonalons
Great addition to the league, I agree.
I hope he flops. But that goes without saying.
Real's transfer policy is ridiculous. By selling di Maria and getting in Kroos and Rodriguez, they've ripped apart the team that won the Champions League last season, just to make a statement about their ability to buy stars and sell replica shirts as a result. He was the perfect player for their formation and their team - his energy and quality meant that he could basically play as both part of the midfield trio with Alonso and Modric, and as a left winger to cover for Ronaldo, as he constantly cuts inside and basically plays as a second striker.
didn't ancelotti state that they tried to keep him, but he refused to sign a new contract?
my point being that it wasn't really their decision, but his
His decision as a result of how they treated him though.
They wouldn't offer him a proper wage because he doesn't sell shirts. Perez wanted him out. Carlo just operating as his mouthpiece. Lost alot of respect for Carlo the past few seasons.
ancelotti very much wanted to keep him but he was over ruled by the club president
You have to wonder if Rooney will assume that Ronaldo role. Could work a trick. But LVG will probably opt for Roon in the hole with ADM wide left.
I don't think that Rooney really has the pace and work rate to play out wide anymore, he's no slouch, of course, but nothing like he was in that respect. Stick him up front, or don't bother with him.
ronaldo role? float around from the right wing? i would love to have rooney on the right in a 433. you know he'll track back to make up the numbers when we defend as well. then play mata in front of fletcher and herrera in midfield
Great for the league. The loss of special players like Bale and Suarez has hurt and this is a nice move in the other direction.
doubt he will stick to the 3-5-2 with di maria as the wingback. why would he sign shaw? perhaps if he moves shaw to right back it could work out ok. i'd say a change in formation (4-3-3) is in the cards
Madrid letting him go reminds me of when they did the same thing with Makelele.
And Robben. And Sneijder. And, well, the list goes on and on...
I meant more that he was what made the team work and was ridiculously underappreciated.
I think we swap to a 433 and Mata is rotated depending on fitness of Rooney and RVP UNLESS we get a proper CM/DM to sit in front of the back 4 (yeah I said 4!)
Rooney or RVP can't play on the wing. I'm sure LvG has specifically said this in an interview.
but he ha before (Ronaldo days admittedly)
another option is a 4231 with Rooney at 10 and the three interchangeable
Bojan Krkic has time to impress at Stoke City, says Mark Hughes
Stoke City boss Mark Hughes says new signing Bojan Krkic was put on the bench at Hull for tactical reasons.
The 23-year-old forward joined from Barcelona and played 90 minutes against Aston Villa but was left out on Sunday.
"It was a difficult game, lots of teams go to Hull and struggle to get anything so we thought we needed to be nice and solid in midfield," Hughes explained.
The Spaniard came on in the first half and Hughes said: "He showed glimpses of what he'll give us this year."
Bojan made his debut for Barcelona as a 16-year-old but spent last season on loan at Ajax, scoring four times in 24 appearances for the Dutch club.
He was introduced in the 41st minute of the 1-1 draw at the KC Stadium after an injury to Glenn Whelan.
Although he was brushed aside in the build-up to Nikica Jelavic's goal for Hull, he provided the key cross that led to the equaliser for Ryan Shawcross.
"I was going to make a change in the second half anyway," Hughes added. "We needed to take one of the defensive midfield players off and get Bojan on. It was difficult to find him, we were a little bit out of sorts, but I thought he did okay."
I think he could easily get 2 or 3 goals in GWs 4 & 5.
serious?!
Yeah, I'm not saying he's a hot prospect BUT I think he's worth sitting on until those fixtures pass. He hasn't exactly been awful and has been decent on the pitch (unlike Riviere, Pelle etc.)
Good summing up. Bojan hasn't a hope of playing against City imo..or if he does it will be a mistake..which should see him as a nice 5.0 option afterwards, maybe...
I really hope not. I'm willing to lose a whole £0.5 m on him just to see him play the 2 promoted teams coming up.
Would you play a lightweight like Bojan against City ?..even the strongest players struggle against them.
I will but only because my bench will be Marney, Duff & Chester.
I think it's in GW 4 & 5 where he could really shine. I bought him in pre-season with the intention of sticking for 5 matches and I've seen nothing to really make me change my mind.
Had a great volley vs Villa on goal that Vlaar heroically blocked by diving in front of it.
He also set up a great 1 v 1 for Crouch in the last game during a counter attack.
gerrard bonus 2 what a disgrace
😯 😯 😯 Didn't even look. I'll take it 😀
What should I do with Giroud?
Think I'm selling tonight for Ade...
That is what I was thinking. Ade would be a good long term choice, or to go for Jovetic - but that feels like chasing points. Bony is an outside choice too. does anyone know any updates on Giroud's condition?
Sell him
Untie him and apologise
pass it off as banter
Saints fans... do we think Gardos will start next week?
I'm not an official fan but i think he will play in the capital one cup midweek to boost his fitness
Dzeko + Caulker --> Jovetic + Clyne (-4)
seems a no brainier right?
Until Dzeko scores next week and everyone bails on Jovetic again. Be patient IMO
If Caulker dropping forces your hand
only if i get clyne - i cam wait and get betrand instead - is this better?
yes
Hold fire if that's the case.
Bertrand is a decent alternative
No point taking hits.
Dzeko is more nailed than Jovetic despite his form.
These are the transfers i am thinking of, bit knee jerk though?
Well Jovetic out for a hit backfired massively.
Whoops 😳
🙁
Kudos for coming on so soon.
😉Price chasing really fooked me over this time.
0.2 richer, 15pts worse off.Jovetic will go back up again. So, that 0.2m you gained doesn't really matter. 🙂
Doubt he'll go up more than 0.1
He'll. Has very low ownership.
could have been worse..
wait...no, it couldn'tOuch! 🙁
Ouch.
