SSSSHHHHHHH you aren't allowed to say these things in here man.
You're so whiny, wanting your team to compete and all that how dare you.

You're so whiny, wanting your team to compete and all that how dare you.
We are currently competing. We've beat every team put before us this year.
3 teams, although the games were tricky I wouldn't say high level or direct opposition. The real test for me is swansea away.
There shouldn't even be a debate over whether we need new attacking options or not. LVG said himself that we lack pace and creativity up top, name dropped mata and young and said although they are good they aren't good enough to compete at the highest level and then name dropped neymar and robben as examples.
LVG also spoke about the lack of a 20 goals striker last year.
We need more creativity and firepower up front and LVG has known and hinted this which is why I think we are still in the market. You lot that think we have the attacking options to stand up to our opposition are slightly naive, if our window closed tomorrow we'd be taking a hell of a risk. I'm not sure why people are slated or deemed whiney/negative for stating what's arguably the obvious, sure saying we won't get top 4 because of pedro is kneejerk but fans will obviously by mythed as they know we needed a player like him.

Yes, we have. But if we want to compete over a season of, say, 50-60 games we need at least one more striker and probably a top class central defender.
Tbf, we've added more quality players in this window then Chelsea have.
We've added more quality than anyone bar City.
City only added Sterling and Delph to their first team...
That's not exactly melting down, is it?
The probelm is we needed more quality players than they did. They've got a stronger squad than ours for me. If they add a decent centre-back like Stones they're set.
It is when you said posters then go around frantically posting this view point when people are discussing the alternative.
It's that kind of deluded optimism which provide the best RAWK material anyway.
That would be sweet.
Nowt wrong with fans losing their shit once in a while.
Who have City added of note aside from Sterling
I just prefer to have proper arguments about topics. That's my preference, you might have another one
Think I should come into this thread as I am having a meltdown! Luckily I haven't posted on the caf and embarrassed myself.
Things that are going through my head:
'First Romero, then Mane, who's next? Distin?'
'We're not even good enough to come fourth now'
'LVG out! Bring in Ancelotti NOW'
Just needed to write it all down and take a breather. This Pedro and Otemendi saga has really pissed me off.

I don't really see what's wrong with signing Romero. He played a World Cup final. Madrid s keeper was bought from levante and who plays for Costa Rica for instance.
I don't think we have dropped out of contention for top 4 just because of this too.
I agree that we have not dropped out of contention for Top 4.
HOWEVER, our aim is not Top 4. We should be aiming for Top 2.
Why has it now become acceptable for us to compete for 4th place?

I heard that, sounded like the BBC finding a couple of morons of the street, One of them didn't even know Romero's name!
Van Gaal said two or three on the list for each position, right? So, Ottamendi was supposedly not on it at all, but who was the back-up alternative to Ramos do you think?
Possibly Hummels who decided to stay at Dortmund
Hummels was possibly first choice
But City doesn't/didn't need as many additions as we do. They have actually done very good business in the transfer market in the Mancini era, and Pellegrini has found a very good squad to work with. Signings such as Aguero, Silva, Toure have been in their regular starting XI for years now, something we were incapable of doing i.e. Sign players that could still feature in our starting XI. Almost every player we signed during that time is either on the bench or sold.
You love that ssssshhhh stuff, dont you?
This thread is a terrible idea. Take a forum full of football fans who bitterly disagree with each other then let them make it personal.
You do wonder where people like that come from. Another fan just rambled on and started talking about anything that popped into his head.
The BBC did seem to have pretty much decided Chelsea had got one over on United. Only Steve Claridge was saying that it cant have been over a few million quid, more likely that we just wanted a striker instead
This thread should just be record of especially ridiculous "United are doomed!"or "United embarrass me!" posts on the forum, not a discussion on how shit or not United are. God knows that's well covered elsewhere.
Until he realised that Hummels was actually right footed...
Agreed.
I think our targets are/were Real players and it's slowly backfiring on us. We thought they'd give us someone* because they were desperate to get their hands on De Gea. Yes we'd have to pay but the De Gea move would've unlocked the door for us. Turns out it's likely Real will just wait a year instead...
*we would've taken any of the following most likely:
Bale
Varane
Ramos
Ronaldo
Benzema
Kroos
Modorić
Rodriquez

And we'll still come fourth, at best.
Cheers for that insight mate, I don't take into account people who claim they can see into the future.
So is Ramos?
At best?
All of a sudden we are better than Chelsea, City or Arsenal?At best?
Not if we can beat the smaller teams, our record against big the four was pretty good last year.
LVG can win the big games without having the better squad, at least give him that.
Pssh nobody has told him that yet.
He can.
