Manchester United

[BigChief]

Just waiting for Rooney to get injured on September 2nd...

I bet they move Depay up front and he'll be a sensation.

You obviously haven't seen Depay play in the last two games.

Its akin to City having Aguero and Bony injured and moving sterling up front, then expecting him to be a sensation. I know you've seen Sterling play.

[Fosterbloke]

Haha excellent

[Chazza]

Ramos has signed a contract extension at Madrid.

That went well for United then.

[RichC]

What a surprise

Mancs being used for contract negotiations? Surely not

[Chazza]

Otamendi off to Man City leaves the back up plan out the window.

A big bid for Hummels or Ron Vlaar on a free

[RichC]

Got to be Big Ron !!

Defensively still look a bit iffy although the new RB looks decent and they're one Rooney injury away from problems up top.

Cunts will still spawn the usual wins when they deserve nothing though

[Shaggy]

I see Daniel Taylor said on Twitter a United official told him Otamendi was 'this year's Gaitan' - i.e. completely made up bollocks.

[Chazza]

Defo big Ron then.

You can only guess they are waiting to get past the mighty Brugge before spending a bit more money.

[RichC]

Does seem that way. I wonder if part of the problem is players aren't so keen on them at the moment - once a dead cert for CL football now it's not so definite

I am assuming that there will be another big signing and I guess that this is the only reason they are holding out at the moment, unless their performances so far have convinced van Gaal that the squad they have now is good enough.

But who? They've spent 2 years linked to every world class player around and signed none of them (apart from Di Maria).

What world class players have City or Chelsea bought in the last two seasons?

I think only Arsenal have done it (Sanchez and Özil).

You could argue that Schweinsteiger is world class when he's not dunked in tea.

[Roboklopp]

Özil ain't world class. Not even sure Sanchez is, although he is excellent.

[Fosterbloke]

Özil ain't world class. Not even sure Sanchez is, although he is excellent.

At the time he was widely regarded as such. Currently? Nowhere near. Same for Sanchez.

[Bender]

Even if Utd for for Vlaar he's out injured till Nov at least
