You try doing 7 rolls on hard turf.
he's a streak of piss
Ermm, Smalling and Martial are quite big and strong.He would tear the EPL to shreds, this misconception that you need to be big and strong to make the grade in the EPL is wrong. Silva isn't the biggest boy, nor is Mata, Smalling, De Bruyne, Martial, Herrera or Oscar among many others. That's just off the top of my head and current players.
His performances for Brasil prove this kid is the real deal. Whether there's a chance we'll ever get him? $$$$$$$
I think we might already have a couple of future top tens in our ranksIt's only a matter of time until we land a top 10 player.
Always worth a laughany excuse to post this 0:21
How is it naive?It's not embarrassing but it does come across as naive. Ditto the emails to Bayern about Muller and the Bale/Ronaldo stuff that's ended up all over the press every summer since Woodward took the reins.

We're trying for the biggest players. If we get rejected then so be it. I prefer this approach rather than the Gill reign where some of the top targets rejected us due to our inability to pay top dollar.
Not really, it's also a way of putting yourself in the players mind, if their clubs are at some point willing to discuss, United will be in a better position because the club will have shown a genuine interest in the past.Did he actually think Barca and Bayern would sell one of their best players? I think he's been playing FM far too long. Of course he was naive.
As long as its not affecting our other recruitment then its not naive at all. People here are far too quick to label the club as embarrassing or naive.Did he actually think Barca and Bayern would sell one of their best players? I think he's been playing FM far too long. Of course he was naive.

That'd be better than sitting on our asses and complain whilst City and Chelsea get a superstar.We could try for Messi and Neuer next season. £300m may just get us Messi. The man's a transfer muppet.

Neither Chelsea or City would be able to sign Neymar either.That'd be better than sitting on our asses and complain whilst City and Chelsea get a superstar.
This is very true. He gets beat up a lot, but he can surely handle. And he doesn't shy away when getting hit, he gets bolder.Neymar is a as tough as nails imo
Yep one side of his game that surprised me, he doesn't shy from the ball no matter what.This is very true. He gets beat up a lot, but he can surely handle. And he doesn't shy away when getting hit, he gets bolder.
This. Ever since Woody took over we've been shooting for Galactico players who have no interest in playing for us or suit us. I'm not at all surprised with what happened with ADM. There's no possible reason why Neymar would want to move here because he seriously wanted to play for us.You can add Falcao to that list.
I'm not sure it's an either/or choice between ambitious and defeatist. I think there's room to be ambitious, while being thoughtful and pragmatic. That way we wouldn't have ended up paying stupid money for players who were never suited to our team/league (at least one of whom didn't even really want to play for United) just to prove we can sign big name players.
This would probably work for HazardCan't wait to see him line up in a United shirt, I left a message for him on a youtube video begging him to join so I pray to god that it'll work.
To comment on the current thread title: "Father confirms United offer."
Usually, there is no more unreliable source than the father of a player. Well, maybe his cat.
Personally, I think we could spend the money better than on Neymar. And he won't come anyway.
In short: A Thomas Müller is also (a) world class, imo even better than Neymar since he showed class over some years now, (b) would fit our play and the league, (c) would be able to deal with the weather in england better and last but not least (d) would be cheaper than Neymar since Barcelona always demand fantasy-numbers like obsquamatillions.How so? Replacing a rotting has been in Rooney with a fresh South American who is already in the top 5 players in the world who also happens to be the best of his generation. That being said I also don't think he'll come.
Fair point, but to be fair Muller doesn't seem to be any more approachable considering Bayern's stance.In short: A Thomas Müller is also (a) world class, imo even better than Neymar since he showed class over some years now, (b) would fit our play and the league, (c) would be able to deal with the weather in england better and last but not least (d) would be cheaper than Neymar since Barcelona always demand fantasy-numbers like obsquamatillions.
That is what I meant by saying we could spend the money better.
