Saying we let Welbeck go as he didn't have the record in the past 3 years of Van Persie or Rooney, and Falcao coming in plus the youngsters so we let him go.

LVG: ''Welbeck is shit compared to Rooney and van Persie, that's why we let him go''

Ha, van Gaal ruthless with welbeck. It's the truth and what many have always said. If you want to start as a striker,you have to score. Welbeck doesn't.

Anderson, Nani and Hernandez are all still on our books too.
All of them were free to leave and two have practically left.

There's literally no-one for us at Valencia's position and Young simply didn't get any offers.

Pure class although how does that explain keeping Young and Valencia?
They're versatile and can play in different positions - LVG is a known fan of that.

I'd imagine we'll buy or promote a replacement for Young next year, his wages mean no club is gonna touch him until the final year of his contract

If you want to score you have to start as a striker but meh, wrong thread.
True but even if he did, would he be of the standard of the others? Hard for someone to justify dropping players like the ones we have and just put faith in a younger player who has a sketchy goal record, though if anyone would do it, it would be Van Gaal I think. Him deciding to move him on probably just means he doesn't think he has enough to be world class.

Though judging from the pressers and reports, he seems to rate Wilson highly so maybe he thinks he's a better option long term.

I like how David May is suddenly here out of nowhere. Strikes me as a proper United fanatic. Probably isn't even working today.

LvG saying that Welbeck wasn't at United standard..Someone correct me if i am wrong.
Not quite as harsh as that. Just said RvP and Rooney's records are the standard of the club. Welbeck wasn't the same, so they let him go.

Has Falcao been asked about the task of replacing Danny Welbeck?
Probably never heard of him where as Welbeck probably dreams about being Falcao, ''that's the standard''.

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
That was a nice press conference. Cleared up his thoughts on Welbeck, praising Falcao and Blind, promising spots for the youth/juice (whichever you want to believe in), and a light hearted moment at the end. Also said that it's going to take time to get this team playing the way he wants. At least, we seem to be having a plan. Did he say anything about Rafael?
