Seems fair enough,you can't be putting up with that

Why aren't they strengthening in the right areas? Why do they keep signing number 10's and not defenders?

It's really weird isn't it? Same with midfield - you'd have thought having to drag Scholes out of retirement was a clue.

Oh well long may it last!

Di Maria isn't quite the square peg round hole some on here have been saying, but he still should have in no way been prioritized over the likes of Vidal unless the sole purpose was making a statement. And even then, everyone would have been far more impressed and worried by signing Vidal.

Probably the Glazers think they can do a Madrid and recoup most of the money through merchandise and increased exposure through signing bigger name players, still doesn't explain Rojo and Blind when they could have signed Garay and Benatia for the same money earlier in the summer.

Makes me laugh when they used to laugh at us and our "holistic" approach. Their situation encapsulates where we were right and they are so wrong.
We:
Define a system, implement it within the club at all levels, hire a coach/coaches to implement. Sign players who complement and address the issues of the previous season.
Them:
Let the Chief Executive and manager leave at the same time, let senior players leave at the same time without buying replacements in plenty of time, bring in a "manager" who rips up the blueprint that has given them unparalleled success and imposes his blueprint which the players patently don't know and probably don't like.

Why is everybody so convinced that they are signing Vidal? Have I missed something?

As Thatcher once remarked, 'the problem with communism, is you eventually run out of spending other peoples money.'

They will continue to throw money at the problem but they still don't see it.

van Gaal was not the right appointment. They didn't need a foreign manager. They needed someone familiar with the Premier League who could implement a proper style in a short time period.

Thankfully, they have missed a trick twice.

Roberto Martinez was the manager their ego wouldn't allow them to contemplate.

I can see it in van Gaal's eyes. He knows it, deep down. He is out of his depth.

Spot on. He rambled on last night about "filosofee". One second it's all about the rags filosofee and the next it's about time being given to implement his own filosofee.

Which is it turtle neck? Make your fucking mind up pmsl

Also displayed a lack of respect for Karl Robinson after the game. He failed to approach him and shake hands to congratulate him on the victory. He chose to sign autographs instead.

I am a bit in Tolm's camp. I genuinely don't think he has any idea what he is doing. He thought he was going to another big club with ready made success. Little did he realise the catastrophe he was walking into.

i said he'd be gone by xmas but i based that on him being a nowty **** and not on his ability. seems he could walk or be pushed for either.

Was speaking to a Juve fan when watching the match in Venice. He was absolutely convinced that Vidal is going nowhere.

Rags very quiet at work today. Apart from the predictable ''we were never interested in that Micky Mouse trophy''. Bless.

Is that the "Micky Mouse Trophy" they were going to "hammer" us in the final of until Sunderland knocked them out in the semis?
