I reckon he might start about 25 league games and with that I think he will be an extremely valuable squad player.
Herrera and Schneiderlin as first choice of the 3 CM. With Schweinsteiger, Carrick and then Blind slotting in when needed/fit. Against weaker teams we could even go with Schneiderlin, Herrera and Mata/Di Maria as an AM.
Bayern are pretty stocked in CM so have better options than us and weren't willing to offer a final big contract.
We are less stocked in CM and can afford to offer bigger wages.
Gerrard is 4 years older and he had good 30+ game seasons in 2012/13 & 2013/14 after injury and in his thirties.
Not expecting him to anything as good as that but like I said 20 games plus and he will be a great addition to the squad.
As said earlier. I think its a calculated risk so that you have either Carrick or Schweinsteiger available.
If they both get about 25 games each and either of them are available for most the season its a success.
There was such a big difference when Carrick wasnt playing last season.
Schneiderlin is excellent but doesnt offer that in the same role.
Its a big risk mind. Schweinsteiger could easily break down with his poor ankles and knees. A Long term injury is just waiting to happen. 250k is a bit insane but you've got all the money in the World.
If it works out I can see Utd challenging for the title.
If both end up injured I can see a fight for 4th on the cards again.
If Schweinsteiger starts 25 league games, that would be outstanding for you guys and definitely worth the money.
Do you think Di Maria will stay? Are you guys in the market for a striker?
Taking risks on older players with known injury difficulties is always worthwhile if you're talking about using other people's money. I've decided this after doing a risk assessment.
You massively overpaid for Schweinsteiger, but you can afford it, and if it pays off he's more than worth it, so in my book i'd be happy with the signing as a United fan. Sure you could argue the money could have been spent better, but does it really matter when you've clearly got enough cash to spunk on Schneiderlin, Depay , Damian, and whilst it's obvious you're ready to spend massively on someone like Ramos and another attacker. I think if we signed him it would be more of an issue because in signing him we'd be wasting precious resources, but you've got so much cash over there, why the fuck not?
Gyan is 29 like I'm Kate Beckinsale's bit on the side.
So the sex was consensual, but the anal was rape?
yea doesn't seem to add up

Agreed. It's a form of football snobbery IMO.
Some people are so fussy that they like having sex but don't like being brutally sodomised.
I'm sure it's a pisstake.
Yeah....you don't have to be English to play in the Capital One Cup.
Pellegrini; always the kidder.
No. Highly unlikely. If not impossible. Without specific clauses the default position in contract law is :
If a club wants to get rid of a player, the starting position is they need to pay up his entire contract. (complete the contract early)
If you want to sell a player, the player is willing to go but he's going to get less wages at his new club - you pay the difference between what he would have earned with you and what he will earn - for the length of your contract with the player. (our usual scenario)
In this scenario, Delph leaves getting a pay rise. He benefits from ending the contract early, so he has no loss to be compensated for.
He turns out well in Fifa
No idea if Di Maria will stay to be honest. The latest Pedro rumours seem to be fairly widely briefed after a Woodward interview last night.
Can't see us wanting Pedro as a bench player, and can't see him wanting to switch from Barcelona bench to ours.
Would hate to see Di Maria go because I think he could be excellent for us next season but Pedro may be a better player within the system LVG wants to use
Whether we are in the market for a striker could depend on how the above pans out.
Think we could be ok up top if we are playing 433/4231.
Rooney as first choice then Wilson, Hernandez as direct replacements. Depay could also play upfront if needed and LVG has talked about using Januzaj as a false 9.
Last night LVG said we are still looking to stengthen in two positions. One is almost definitely CB and the other has to be striker or winger.
Hernandez is offski, isn't he? West Ham were the latest of a number of clubs linked with him in the paper this morning.
Imo Gerrard never reached the 09 level again after the injury. That's another story.
I think the physical nature of the PL will show that a swine can be bought at too great a cost. 200k a week for him is madness. If I'm right and Carrick is out again for a prolonged period of the season We only have 98 problems...

So if you were shagging a bird and then she bent you over and did you up the wrongun you'd be cool with that?
