Saw a rumour they may use Blind in CB this season and not sign another, if that's the case, I hope to god that it's true as even if they add a good striker, they're way short.

@richards30 I agree! Like it or not the rags are getting stronger and LVG is getting what he wants from his board
Moved discussion into here so De Bruyne thread can stay on topic. IMO as of now I don't see the rags any stronger than last season. They've only signed 3 midfielders and a RB and they've lost 2 decent strikers (ok 1 flopped) about to lose Di Maria (Who imo is quality and I'll be glad to see him gone) & De Gea (Who's in top 5 best keepers in world for me) They were crying out for 2 quality CBs and a 30 goal a season striker last year they've not bought either. The players they have bought other than Sneiderlin have no Premiership experience which is vital. Top 4 is all they can hope for at the moment imo.
So as of yet they ain't stronger for me. But that can change.

Robin van Persie claims Louis van Gaal didn’t give him “honest” chance

Robin Van Persie has taken a parting shot at Red Devils manager Louis Van Gaal after completing a switch from Manchester United to Turkish club Fenerbahce.
The Dutch striker says his former boss didn’t give him the opportunity to win his place in the first team back, and ultimately says this drove him to find a new club.
When asked by the Sunday Times if being an unused substitute in the loss to Chelsea in April was a sign he was on his way out, van Persie responded, “That was one of the first signals things weren’t going in the right direction. I asked to play in the reserves, to get my minutes, but after was on the bench again.”
“He had changed his mind about me before. When he took over Holland he said to me ‘You’re the No. 3 striker.’ I said ‘O…K…’ and I fought and became the No. 1 and his captain. But when I came back, it wasn’t an honest battle any more. Fighting to get back in the team wasn’t an option. He was sending me to Pitch Two [reserves].”
“I’m not stupid. I didn’t get angry or emotional. These things are part of football, part of life. You have to make the best out of any situation so I’m doing this by moving on.”
Van Persie joined Manchester United in the summer of 2012 in a high-profile move from Arsenal. He won the Premier League title his first season at Old Trafford, appearing in every league match and scoring 26 goals. His production and playing time both steadily decreased from there, with just 10 goals last season. Now 31 years old, he was a fixture in the side to begin the most recent campaign, but following injury he was unable to reclaim his place, finishing the season with just 121 minutes in the final 12 league matches.
The Dutch striker is said to have taken the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson the hardest of anyone on the squad in 2013, and he admitted as much this past year.

What are they up to? They seem to be offloading players like Van Persie, Di Maria and Falcoa but replacing them - admittedly those players weren't very good last season but now they don't have anyone
Depay may or may not be a world beater but the other 3 won't be pulling any trees up
They are well short at the back and upfront and the manager seems like a fucking idiot who's living off past glories. Even if they do sign a striker and couple of defenders the chances are they'll be from abroad and will take time to settle. Add to that it will mean 6 new faces in the first team which rarely/if ever works
The manager will then be pissing about with 3 at the back, short passes or long ball etc - I predict a similar season to last for them except we will give them 2 good fucking hidings this season
