Transfer Rumours

So if it all comes off and he ends up here will he give us his all having just come back from serious injury and knowing he is off to RM next season? For the money involved a massive gamble.


No idea. I would think he'd want to prove to Real Madrid he was injury free and suffering no concomitant loss of form.
 
I love how we are all buttering ourselves up to the idea of a player using us to whore himself out to Real Madrid.
 
True but unless we get relegated they are here for the next 10 years regardless of who we sign.

Missing out on CL again will decrease the Adidas deal no?
Woodward might be a good business man but footballing wise he has shown nothing so far but severly overspending on every player bar maybe Mata (which isnt exactly what a good businessman would do...)

I imagine there's one or two more caveats other than a relegation one. Not exit clauses, but CL dependant ones, corresponding with what they are willing to outlay annually.

Other than Vidal - who you could obviously still sign - have you been linked with any other midfielders? I think you definitely need another one.
 
One thing I don't quite understand, is that I've read Jonathan Wilson mention in an article last week that Van Gaal's preferred system is the 4-3-3 (or variant of it). I know he went with the 3-5-2 with the Netherlands at the World Cup due to the players available to him, but why did he have to stick with it with the Mancs? Unlike with the national team, the personnel quality problem is one that can generally be solved by money, which means he could've just stuck with a 4-3-3 or whatever he preferred in the pre-season while pushing for the new CB knight in shiny armor to arrive, instead of trying to convert the team to play a new way.

It'd make sense to cut the coat according to the cloth if you were sure you weren't going to get the upgrade you need. Otherwise, why introduce more complexity into a new job? Are they really having problems attracting a couple of new CBs or are there some spending limits they're bumping up against?
When you are the sole inventor of such a unique and innovative system as 3-5-2 then it is your duty to roll it out as often as possible. Just as it is Wayne Rooney's duty to score with the patented overhead kick
 
Fulham youngster Patrick Roberts has reportedly been made a transfer target of Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 17-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs in recent months, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, the Reds are prepared to steal a march on other potential suitors by submitting a bid for the England youth international in the near future, according to Goal.com.

The report added that Liverpool would be prepared to loan Roberts back to Fulham for the remainder of the ongoing campaign.

It is believed that Roberts is a boyhood Liverpool supporter, with his parents having been born on Merseyside.

The terms and conditions were set out in the recent share sale prospectus.

They can cancel the deal if we get relegated and it reduces to £52m if we we miss the CL for two consecutive years after the deal starts. But even with the reduction for no CL it is still £20m more per annum than Real Madrid and over twice what everyone else gets.

I agree we definitely need another midfielder. Not many left of the quality of Vidal really apart from Strootman who I think would be ideal. Linked with Di Maria alot who could play in CM but square whole and round peg come to mind there for me.

That is kinda the point fans blame the CEO if they apparently miss out on a target and also if they pay too much. Can't really have it both ways as ultimately it is the selling club that dictates the minimum price.

I wasn't questioning for a minute your commercial success. Just wondering what value it is when the results are what they were last season.

It will be interesting to see who you end up with in your midfield. Di Maria would be a great buy. I am not sure for CM, mind. Strootman would be a good player for you lot also. Although did I read he's out till Christmas? Or was that last Christmas?!
 
Bollocks to them. Quite why we even entertain the notion of some 'friendly' Manc on here is beyond me. I'm sure there are United forums for them to talk shit on. Imagine spending all that time as a Reds fan on a United forum. Beggars belief.
 
I have no problem with him, it is a little bit interesting getting an opposing viewpoint, ( whatever happened to @nonirongooner), no problem with randomness, but discussing the merits of their CEO is dull.

Sixcrazyminutes is never ever dull,





apart from when Modo argues with everyone about his current pet hate/love/point.
 
To keep SS happy we could have a non-Liverpool football forum. I'm happy as it is but for the likes of Sean and others who are offended by those not holding a Scouse Passport it would mean they never have to hear of Arsenal, United, Spurs or Chelsea again !
 
Reports emanating from Portugal claim Sporting Lisbon president Bruno de Carvalho has confirmed his interest in signing Manchester United winger Nani on loan as long as United pay his full wages. United are thought to be ready to offer Nani as part of the deal to sign Argentine defender Marcos Rojo.

He's sounder than a lot of posters on here already for starters. I like that's there's Man United fan on here who seems to be relatively unbiased in his opinions. It's interesting to hear opinions of supporters of other clubs (we had a decent gooner and Villa fan on before if I remember correctly) and it's not as if he's come in here calling us all cunts or anything.

He hasn't even called the cunts, cunts yet, understandable though it might have been.
 
Forget the fact that he's a nice lad, offers an alternative opinion and insight, causes no bother, is a fellow human being and all of that...

HE'S A MAAAAAAANCCCC RAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I'M A SUPER FAN BECAUSE I HATE EVERYONE ELSE!!!

Fuck off with your superfan bollocks. You really have no idea what the fuck you're talking about with ridiculous accusations like that. Love coming onto a forum about my club and being attacked by fellow supporters while a manc gets defended.
God this place fucks me off.
I just do not understand why a genuine Manc fan would ever want to set foot on a Liverpool forum. How many manc forums has reds on them? I'll guess. None. It's fucking mental. And all of you that think it's a nice touchy feely thing can fuck off too.
I'm seriously close to leaving here.
Pretty simple. Give me more than 15 likes to this post and I'll leave and never return and you can all continue your Manc/Arsenal love in.
