He is doing everything methodically, Listened to ed woodwards interview, even he was full of praise for the boss. The best part about LVG is he does everything from his heart. No fickle nature, no backstabbing people, If he doesnt like he comes and tells. Sir alex was like this ( though he was a different level) and LVG is the same. He loves the fans and club from his heart and wants to bring back the glory days.

De Gea has is fuckin us over big time. We made him who he is, but instead of returning us that favour and renewing his contract, he has decided to sting us by ganging with madrid to fuck us up. I'm very sure he must have been in contact with them. And they must have told not to renew, do that they will come and pick him up next summer for free. Its so annoying knowing that he has connived with them to fuck us over. We paid top dollar to athletico to get him, when he was nothing, cos we saw the potentials, we played stuck with him through the difficult days, and made him, who he is, but he decides to fuck us up. At least, he should do the honourable thing, sign a contract...at least, so we could recoup the transfer fee we paid for him. Madrid are thinking within themselves, how very smart they are, in this whole saga...the prospect of getting a young world class goalie for free must be tickling them at the moment. I must confess, it's very frustrating seeing where this 'whole thing' is heading. Even Ronaldo, signed and got us a heavy transfer fee. This pussy called de gea has acted very unprofessionally in this whole shit. Fuck him!!!

Paschal,

I agree, he was quick enough to sign for us .

I hope Johnstone comes through the ranks and shines like Garry Bailey did all those years ago, or we get someone else in , and put the lanky one in the reserves

If De Gea isn't very careful he will find himself backed into a corner, the United supporters are starting to turn against him, and it won't take much for the Real fans to either .

I used to like him, but as far as I'm concerned, he can either sign, or fuck off!

I was thinking the same Pascal/ Trevor; DDG stays for 1 more year, Casilla has a blinding season at Real and they don't bother trying to get DDG in a years time and he's fucked at UTD.

Like you say, the least he could've done was to sign a contract so we get fair price for him. Esp if he really liked it in manchester.

He mustve been offered some sort of deal by Real where if he didn't sign, Madrid would make sure he got a much healthier pay deal out of it. It's the only thing that explains the dithering - he's kind of been working for them ever since he was offered a new contract….

@ Trevor and @cantona
I hope so. I'm really mad about the whole shit. the virus getting a young world class goalie that we invested heavily on for free. It's really fucked up.
Read somewhere this Morning, from the popular french paper, L'equip ; it stated that man utd will only sell Di maria to the parisians if they give us the figure we paid to madrid a year go to secure his services(59.7 million pounds or 75m euros). And the fools are reluctant about meeting our demand. I love our stance in the whole issue. The paper also went on to say man utd will alert other teams who are ready to pay up, if PsG delays. Good stuff.

I made a comment a while back about how we always end up as feeder club to madrid. unless a player supports utd or doesn't want to move away from north of england (rooney), it's always a matter of time. some people got their knickers in a twist.

but for all the glazer-hate over the years, they are the only guys who've finally had the balls to stand up to Madrid and say fuck you. credit where it's due.

Sure. The Glazers have been awoken. Since last summer they've been splashing the cash, and flexing muscles with the likes of madrid and barca in terms of quality purchases of players.

De Gea has done absolutely wrong. He hasn't signed a new contract because he wants to go to Madrid and nothing is more encouraging for a club than a low transfer fee. I say fair play to the lad. If he wants out, let him go. We would have been far worse without him last season.
Di Maria on the other hand is a joke of mammoth proportions. Last transfer window, he wanted PSG. He's been unsettled from day one but it only became apparent because of his loss of form. If PSG want him, they should pay 59.7 million. We should either go for sign Bale or a couple of smaller names... Gaitan, Pedro, Felipe. Actually scratch that. Make a statement and sign Bale for 100 million. Real, Barca, Bayern, City, Chelsea all pay ridiculous sums of money!

Watch that kid Barkley. He's gonna go for 50million within the next two years. Stones, Barkley and McCarthy are all gonna develop in to world class players. There's no space now in our team and depending on who signs them, God help us.. Arghhh! How I miss Fergie.

Yea, I am sure 25 year old McCarthy who can't get a game at Everton will become a world beater, and God help us for not buying over the Everton team, that is surely a team that can beat Barca

This has been circullating in the news today.Apparently rvp and lvg fell out.I got to applud rvp for his proffessionalism.Not many senoir players would agree to train outside the main group barring injury.
Lvg is sort of a dictator.His way or the highway.That's why he has fallen out with so many players in his illustrious career.
one thing i dont get is how all of a sudden became like universally acclaimed as a better striker to lead the line ahead of Rvp.This i feel is one area where captain priviledges played a huge role in the making tge decision to sell Rvp.
if lvg was confident in rooney leading the line bet he wouldnt be in line to sign a new striker.He'd put faith In chicha and Wilson to act as cover. Robin van Persie has hit out at Louis van Gaal for
not giving him the chance to prove his fitness at
Manchester United .
The 31-year-old completed a surprise move to
Fenerbahce earlier this month after falling
spectacularly out of favour at Old Trafford during
Van Gaal's first season in charge.
Van Persie made just four appearances over the
final three months of the season after aggravating
an ankle injury against Swansea City in February,
and revealed he feared the worst when Van Gaal
failed to bring him off the bench when United
trailed 1-0 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in
April.
“That was one of the first signals things weren’t
going in the right direction,” he told the Sunday
Times.
“I asked to play in the reserves, to get my
minutes, but after was on the bench again. The
atmosphere changed between me and Louis and
people at the club saw it, but I was always
professional. At that point I didn’t think to leave.
[Van Persie's wife] Bouchra was happy. The kids
were happy. I was happy in Manchester.
“But I was still thinking we could come back from
holiday and start from scratch. He had changed
his mind about me before. When he took over
Holland he said to me ‘You’re the No 3 striker.’ I
was ‘O...K...’ but I fought and became the No 1
and his captain.
“But when I came back, it wasn’t an honest battle
any more. Fighting to get back in the team
wasn’t given me as an option. He was sending
me to Pitch Two. And I’m a mature player. I’m
not stupid. I didn’t get angry or emotional. These
things are part of football, part of life. You have
to make the best out of any situation so I’m
doing this by moving on.
“I know Louis as a national team coach and now
I get to know him as a club coach. And there is a
difference.”

Who knows but there was big question marks about how injured or interested RVP was when Moyes was in charge so he's not always the innocent,personally would've kept him but over the last 2 seasons he has been injured a lot with a hefty pay packet,starting Falcao against the rent boys was one of the worst decisions of the season

interesting what you quoted about RvP re: LVG. That's exactly what i said last week, about him having one style with a club and another for country.

When playing for country you can appeal to RvP's ego cos he was the best in his country. But when you're managing club players, you've got to treat them all the same if you don't want problems. RvP constantly needs his ego stroked. Fergie was prob happy to do that in his final season cos he wanted to go out on a high.
