What the hell is going on? How is it possible that we are signing good players? Including a midfielder?
You're asleep. You'll wake soon to find a midfield pairing of Giggs and O'Shea again.
I wonder who will start next season as first choice. I guess Shaw will be going on the tour, whereas Evra will have an extended break, with France going further in the World Cup.
With all the previous rumours about Evra leaving it's great he extended his contract for a year, I just wonder if he expected to be back up.

Oi, you don't speak against the mighty John O'Shea. On a sidenote, the man got 15 Man of the Matches awards in my FM this season, how weird is that?
All I can think of is that it's a lot of money for a Left-Back... who might not be ready yet.
feck, between this and the Herrara transfer... I should probably stop being such a negative bastard.

Still better than Fellaini and Cleverley
John O'Shea was great in his debut season, he looked like the next Dennis Irwin. Shame how his career have to turn out.
He will forever be a legend with that goal against Liverpool.
What about Park and Rafael? that one went well and included us losing an 18 year old talent in Pogba..Still better than Fellaini and Cleverley
Great signing he is exactly the player we needed, if we can get a good ten years out of him that will be great.
5 league titles, an FA Cup, 3 league Cups and a Champions League winners medal.
Utter shame how his career "turned out"
He didn't exactly fulfill his early promise, and became a bit-part player that was played all over the pitch thanks in part to his great versatility.
Now he's fighting relegation at Sunderland. If he were better he could have remained at Utd to become a club legend.
He played just under 400 times in 11 seasons with the club, that isn't "bit part" no matter which way you slice it. He is a wrongly maligned part of our recent success, success which was built off of the back of players like him, not achieved in spite of.
With the relatively easy opening fixtures, it's perfect to throw the lad straight in
Thread title is misleading.
This is the first year I've gone full muppet. Never knew it's this much fun.

Luke Shaw: Man Utd expected to sign defender after medical
Southampton and England defender Luke Shaw is expected to sign for Manchester United following a medical, reports BBC Radio Solent.
United made a bid of £27m for the 18-year-old left-back in May, but the offer was rejected.
It is believed a fee may now have been agreed, with a medical scheduled.
Shaw became the youngest player to feature at the 2014 World Cup when he played the full game in England's 0-0 draw with Costa Rica on Tuesday.
Earlier on Thursday, United confirmed the signing of Spain midfielder Ander Herrera, 24, from Athletic Bilbao for a fee believed to be £29m.

Yeah nutmegged Figo an all that.
Crap in midfield though. But decent in net. Who knew?
Tomorrow's already today. When is this happening?
Will they be delaying his unveiling so that they can announce Vidal, Sanchez etc at the same time?
Whoa, Nellie! That's Alex Büttner level..!
Not to pour any cold water but if there were to wait, why did they unveil ander first?
Ander forced Utd's hand. He plastered himself all over twitter in United clobber.Not to pour any cold water but if there were to wait, why did they unveil ander first?

Phew, I'd hate that.
It's all a dream. We don't sign quality CM's and strengthen areas that we need to. Yesterday didn't even happen.

Is that an Ashley Cole reference?
Having not seen much other than United this season, my initial reaction is that this is an obscene amount of money and that no 18-year-old left-back could justify that price tag. What do the people who've watched him a lot say? Is he potentially one of the best left-backs in the history of football? Is he an attacking full-back or stronger defensively? And so fourth.

Ah well, I promised myself I wouldn't draw myself into the transfer muppetry during the World Cup. I only found about Ander on the caf!!It's being reported everywhere mate.
Yeah it's happening.
My South African cousin told me Giggs was working for Supersport on the world cup, where is he on the coaching course?
I think you might have misunderstood me, I think he has been a great servant of the club and part of our success when he was here. I'm only lamenting that he could have achieved more if he fulfilled the initial promise he showed in his 1st season when he was mostly playing at full back, rather than shunted all over the pitch.

2 down. TO THE VIDAL THREAD!
Hopefully if he fulfills his potential we have that position sorted for a number of years.
Now to the Vidal/strootman/Sanchez and feck it, even the C.Ronaldo and Sneijder threads!
