Carrick is a class act, the fact he's from here would help as well. Hed be a great signing, not that it's ever happening of course.

I'm a bit confused. How can signings be "off the radar" if they're targets? Do fans have a radar as well as the club? press radar.

He's gone Di Maria, no doubt.

Agreed

really? worsley way?

Palace have loaned Bamford.

Pedro to man utd in most papers tomorrow.

van gaal will have to drop his pants again i reckon, throwing Valdes, a player he doesn't need, under a bus doesn't prove he has a set of swingers. It's more cowardly than ballsy.

rumours he's close to joining palace

Sorry, we posted at pretty much the same time.

More money? Are you pissed?

£67m I think.

Di Maria off according to French press. Psg, 5 year deal, £43m

he has to change the captaincy I think, janmaat, wijnaldum or de jong for me (although we need to see if de jong can stay fit first!). Colo cant carry on imo, needs to be changes on every level, captain included.

as a manager, probably. Although I dont know a lot about his wolfsburg squad.

the most expensive team in history, should be challenging, thats pretty obvious tbh. i agree, theyre not quite good enough yet, but they should be, given what theyve spent and who they are. theyve wasted loads i think, but the pressure will be on lvg to deliver the title i think.

Whichever way it's carved up, the most expensive team in history has just had another £100m spent on it. He needs to deliver the title LVG.

I think they'll get kane or cavani to fill their striker vacancy.

Aye it's pretty perplexing that they've not strengthened in central defence yet, unless they're planning to do so. 3 players down the spine (CB, CF, GK if De Gea's off) that are strong characters and just about the finished article and they'll challenge for the title next year IMO. Yep, agreed. I've no doubt they'll get the balance needed, but they've a few to go (in and out) yet.

Di Maria will go, imo. Don't think they'll miss him.

They're top heavy in midfield, week up front and in defence I think, there's still a pretty big imbalance. Herrera, Carrick, fellaini, Di Maria, schweinsteiger, schneiderlin, mata, blind. That's an awful lot of competition for 2/3 spots. Then they've got Rooney and Wilson as strikers (hernandez looks like he's away). They've still got a bit to go to get balance I think.

Is schneiderlin that good?

Lvg needs to deliver the title, they're spending some ££, and still need a striker and a centre half.

Fucking stinks that.

Hope he stays. There's a player in there. Let's hope this regime are the ones to bring it out.
