I think you'll find that the reason United are getting lots of stick at the moment is because in recent years plenty of your fans have slagged off City for 'buying titles' and 'ruining football' and now you're doing the exact same thing. I know it might not even be the majority of fans but it's slightly hypocritical from those who've criticized City for their crazy spending.

I'll give them that, but still, their spending is absolutely mental.

Good. It's only a fraction of how I felt seeing van Persie in a United shirt.
Carroll.

Is he though?
Just had his best season for Madrid playing there.
Carroll.

Di Maria got three assists last night and a goal against Germany. Not bad for a panic buy.

Yeah, that's complete bullshit though. He's played centrally for Madrid, Argentina and Benfica. He's probably played there for Rosario Central too.
Sam
Lovely.

This. Although I didn't know until recently he was a CM before moving to Madrid.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of it until recently either. That said even if he hadn't, the fact he's done it with great success for both Madrid and Argentina should be proof enough that he's not wasted there.

Good job LVG didn't go for him then.

1) It genuinely wouldn't surprise me as he doesn't fit into the way LVG plays (physical limitations).
2) Would be a bit of egg on United face spending nearly £40m on him only 6 months ago and would certainly be sold at a loss unless form improves drastically.
Thoughts?

Wouldn't be so sure, I can see it happening. Juventus are also said to be interested in bringing him in during January.

And we're just going to let him leave for a small fee compared to what we paid are we?
The only way they'll get Mata is if we're getting Vidal or Pogba coming our way.

Did I say that? What I said is that he'll be sold at a loss. I cannot see another side paying the same, and or more, for a player that could possibly be told he is no longer required and is available. United overpaid for him to begin with.
Vidal may be used as a bargaining chip, it's possible.
I'm well aware of how Juve operate, given I support them also. And yes, while they certainly won't be paying anything like what United did or more, they have Vidal to possibly use in any potential deal.
Sam
I can't see it happening and I hope it doesn't.

Anyway, last week everyones favourite Manchester based Guardian journalist last week tweeted this photoshopped picture of Van Gaal:
I mean, aside from the fact that its incredibly unprofessional at any rate how fucking dim is Jamie Jackson to potentially piss of one of the two clubs in his beat and insult a manager who is notorious for giving journalists a short thrift at the best of times.
Crumbs.... What a weird, weird man.

I hope United never let this lovely man go.
I think this love is going a bit too far.

I feel the same about Kompany and David Silva

It actually hurts seeing him in a red shirt and not the Chelsea blue. It just doesn't look right.
