BlueStar Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It's partly them being not great players not managed fantastically, but it's also obviously the Fergie factor. They don't feel invincible any more and, more importantly, teams aren't afraid of them any more. But they still want to beat Man United just as much as they did when they were top dogs. There's also loads of pressure on Di Maria to help turn their season around, especially with that price tag. He's a fantastic player but if he doesn't hit the ground running and adapt to the league quickly and people start to get on his back he could easily suffer a lack of confidence.

TRon Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Moyes is steadily regaining credibility with every performance. He never really lost credibility, just didn't show that he could step up a level when he got the chance. Until he manages another big team we'll never really know.

David28 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It's the same start of LVG that he had to his Bayern career. He was "already sacked" when they faced Juventus in a CL game in October (iirc) only to win it 3-1 and him to stay on to win the league, the cup and finish runners-up to Inter Milan in the Champions League.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 All true except the not defending bit. Desperation signing from Man Utd IMO, not what they need and will not get them much further up the league on his own. Obviously a good player, but so many other signings are needed.

When you can get a player like Di Maria, you sign a player like Di Maria. It's really that simple IMO. Well hopefully for them, obviously. To me it's more of a 'make a statement' signing, similar to Mata who they also didn't have a plan for. It's about showing you've still go it, which doesn't strike me as a sensible way forward. The long-term neglect of the transfer strategy is going to take a long time to put right. IMO they would be better off signing 5 or 6 £10-15m players, ensuring a decent season, then pushing on from there. Assuming they can't sign enough world class players in the next couple of weeks, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It'll be a maximum of two players we'll sign. If he decides to switch formation we have enough there as it is, but if he wants to keep that 3-5-2 we need more defenders. Heard a lot of things about us making a move for Vidal by the end of the week with Hernandez as a makeweight. We'll find out soon enough. Focused on Burnley at the minute. If Van Gaal loses that he'll surely be feeling the pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
