There's the makings of a good player there, he's just got fuck all confidence in himself because of that abuse and plays it safe all the time, which quite clearly isn't his natural game. I read somewhere Everton were interested in him, think that would be a perfect move for him to be fair.

How good is Shane Duffy, Deano? Think we're signing him permanently.

Edit - just seen he's only played 5 times for Everton, so you may not know how good he is!

He's got a lot of potential according to what I've heard.

Almost died in a freak incident during a Republic of Ireland training session.

Louis van Gaal expects there will be activity in the transfer market before the deadline on Monday night.

The Manchester United manager believes incoming and outgoing moves could be in the pipeline, although he was keen to stress that there are no guarantees. With speculation suggesting that club record arrival Angel Di Maria will not be the last new face into the club this summer, van Gaal was keen to point out there could also be players departing.

"I cannot say anything about that [the market] because it will raise the price," he stated. "The club shall come, like now with Di Maria, when the time is right to announce it. We cannot react to every rumour.

"Also, players shall go in the meantime. I had a conversation with the players after lunch and I said, after this weekend, we shall maybe have another group. Players will go away and others will come in. We have to wait and see."

Van Gaal admitted any more incoming moves would rely on clubs willing to do business during the final few days of the transfer window but his targets are keen to head to Manchester.

"Now, I have also judged all of the players," he explained. "After [doing] that, I can take my measures and, of course, we know already in advance what players we want. Sometimes you can have them and sometimes not. It is dependable on the club, more the club than the players because the players want to come."

Won't happen unless we end up desperately short of keepers. Hasn't even been included in the squad to face Oman or Georgia and according to reports he's said he wouldn't come back unless he was going to be guaranteed to play.

Yeah he looked thin when I saw his ice bucket challenge.

I think he's normally like this though, thin at the start of the season, get injured after 3 games, get fat whilst you recover all season and repeat.

Real pity as there once was a really good footballer there.

He's also the reason Anderson's fat.

I couldn't believe Anderson got a start tonight, although he looked thinner.

Those 5 games of Cleverley's before Kevin Davies broke him...

When he actually looked like a potential solution to our midfield problems!!

Was it a broken ankle? I can't remember.

I wonder if the Moyes haters will give as much grief to LVG as they did to Moyes.

Personally I'm disappointed LVG named the side he did.

I was hoping he'd name a strong side and we'd try go out to pump MK Dons.

Instead we're left with more egg on our face before heading to Burnley this weekend.

EDIT: Although maybe he doesn't give a fuck and doesn't want to risk our better players.
