The Manchester United Thread

Hope Henriquez does well at Wigan, it's a fantastic opportunity for him to shine on a big stage.
 
If we signed everyone the media linked us with, we'd go bankrupt.

No I mean not suprised one bit the media link us with Zaha. But honestly when I watch Palace (not too often) I am more impressed by Yannick Bolasie and don't see much from Zaha.

That's more a case of how teams have noticed Zaha is now a threat, so they're double marking him. Bolasie has profited from this, and also has the good fortune to be in a rich vein of form. Remember how Bale had a bit of a dip a little while after he had been on fire? He was being double marked for the first time in his career. Credit to him, he worked out how to offer to the team without being a direct influence and is now an even better player. Wilf's going through the same stuff.

Bolasie's a tank mind.

Not saying Zaha won't be a great player, but I think United would be a step up to soon for him. He at least needs Premier League experience, who knows if he stays at Palace they may get promoted.
 
Just seen that Manchini and Balotelli have had a major bust up and had to be dragged away from another. Looks like if this is as serious as it has been reported Balotelli may be off and the reason I mention this is because with the amount of money City have and having Aguero Tevez Dzeko and Ballotelli as strikers by loosing one they will be signing a world class striker and with the players they have been linked too has me a little worried as they will be replacing an average player ( average in the EPL) with a player, perhaps Neymar Llorente etc.

Neymar is going to Barca. Already been agreed
 
I was just using him as an example of the quality of strikers they can purchase with the silly amount of money they have

Why do people always say this?
You can't sign a player unless they are in the last 6months of their contract. And Neymar is certainly not in the last 6 months of his contract.
He and his agent would also be a fool to say to a club that he'll sign for them without waiting till after the World Cup where Neymar could dominate and demand an even bigger contract.
Also would Neymar really want to be in the shadow of Messi for most of his career?

Barca have already payed for him. They have paid 10million Euros now and they will take him sometime from now and untill his contract runs out. People think they will take him after the world cup. If they take him before his contract runs out they have to get Santos another 30 million euros but if they take him after his contract runs out they have to get Neymar 30 millions euros.

How long have you worked at the CaughtOffside.com?
 
Seems a journalist who is not Spanish and doesn't work in Spain. Ok, I won't outright disbelieve it then, given my lack of contact with the media there I'll trust they're more serious than here.
 
Player Focus: Europe's Best Battling Defensive Midfielders
Interesting read for every Man United fan. Surprised to see Badelj here, I followed him since Dinamo, and he seems more like of a deep playmaker then ball winner. Would be interesting to have sir Alex opinion on him, because he fits his ideas perfectly. He's not limited, this guy can pass, drible and win tackles. Only bad thing about him is that he's slow as ****.
