Not Kane, Stones!

I'd actually take Kane. Proving he's not a one season wonder.

Oh, last summer I would of tbf, but now in hindsight I'd pass on him. He has all the tools to be a great defender but something about him really having watched him more this season puts me off him, I'm not sure if it's an attitude problem or whether **** has just got to his head. I'll go for the latter. He has made too many mistakes this season and thinks he's Pele on the ball at times.

But I think we'll go for them anyway, the wrong moves IMO given the money there is so much better value out there. But United being United love their big money English signings and having the next best English player.

If I'd have my way I'd have Kane and Vardy up front. Be interesting to see what happens

Wouldn't go for Vardy. At least not yet. His recent performances surely worked up his market value to the sky and he still needs to prove that he's not a one season wonder.

I'd be really happy with Kane up front tho plus I'd sign a sick AMR and a regiment of centre backs.
 
Btw our South stand is being renamed in honour of Sir Bobby Charlton. Bit odd of a time to do it but he is the legend of this club. I really want him to remain top goalscorer because IMO his contribution has been far superior to that of Rooney, even if he eclipses it.

It's this summer or never for a big move for Vardy as he's like 29, but given he has signed a new contract with Leicester I'd say he'll stay there. Leicester will probably be a force to be reckoned with now given their billionaire owners I can see them really pushing the boat out this summer and building a great team.

I wouldn't have Vardy at United anyway, probably give us a few good seasons but we need to look more towards the longer term. Especially if we're keeping Rooney doesn't make sense to get in another strike of Vardy's age, get someone younger.
 
I still don't know how we overlooked Dele Alli, this guy is the real star of their team and will become something special.

One season wonder?

Last season 21 goals in PL. Right now it is 26 games and 16 goals. Start of the season was slow, because he didint get any rest in summer and has no back up in Spurs.

But sorry i dont want it to happen and cant see it happening either that Kane goes to United. It must be ridiculous amount of money for him, for Spurs to consider selling to PL team. They have an amazing young core and payers who are getting better as the season passes. Also Kane seems to be loyal player and he loves playing the club that made him. If they manage to get Berahino in summer, they will be seriously good team that have several England national players and become dominating team for years coming.

No, I'm saying he is proving that he isn't one. I'm agreeing with you

I agree with you but for him to remain top goalscorer...you need to hope that rooney wouldn't score 5 goals in the next 2 seasons?...yeah, bobby's record will get broken...only a matter of time.

Modern records mean so little in reality often.

It's like when Andy Cole was it broke Law's United European goals record ..... Playing twice as much and more games than Law ever played down to the groups in the Champions League now. (BTW, keep it quite but Law, although I naturally never saw him play, is one of my all time favourite non-Liverpool players. Not only a **** of a goalscorer, but an incredibly nice guy. Fortunate to of shared a train ride back up from Euston to Piccadilly a good few years back and he was so friendly and gracious when I took a seat at his table haha it was untrue. Absolutely riveting listening to him for those 3 hours or so as was back then the train. Some absolutely fantastic tails about Shanks and Busby. Wouldn't be drawn on the back heal for City that sent United down like as much as I tried lol. Top respect for that man.).

I can't take all the Barca hype seriously anymore. All the journos are acting as if MSN represent some superhuman talent that descended upon the earth from outer space. They're certainly good, and Messi is obviously godlike, but it's like nobody notices that modern game has changed drastically in favor of offensive players.

Faster balls. Rule changes that protect attackers. Huge decline in defensive ability and organization. All those things contribute to that massive goal tally. Put these three in the serie A in the 90s, and let's if they would still bang a 100 goals a year. Neymar in particular wouldn't last a month there.

Nicky **** appointed Head of Academy - Official Manchester United Website
Click to expand...

While I don't think it's particularly negative, it is certainly peculiar to leave the job open for 12 months, "evaluate" the current state of the academy and then give it a man, who has been there the whole time and who apparently turned it down 9 months ago...
 
Seen the rumors that Simeone is ready to become Chelsea's new manager from next season.

Pep vs Mourinho vs Simeone managing City, United and Chelsea. If this all happens, my God, what a sick next season we have ahead us. And yeah, don't forget Wenger and Klopp. :P

You are reading it wrong IMO. Nicky **** was involved with youth coaching not head of academy. Since McClair left, **** assumed the role and was in that role for 10 month. Looks like hierarchy were happy with the work he has done.

Also this put the bs Woodward Vs SAF, Class of 92 to bed once for all.
