Sparky Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 How will your team fare this season? Just over 1 week until the Premier League season starts! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Manchester United too! :viva: United :) My thoughts on our chances: We'll be up there, no doubt. Van Gaal is a quality manager and he'll have a team more in line with what he wants now (probably complete next season). We've had a good transfer window so far. Schweinsteiger is a good short term replacement for Scholes, once he's up to normal fitness. Schneiderlin looks solid, as he was at Southampton and Darmian has impressed the most but i'd expect him to be second choice to Valencia for the very start of the season. Pedro on the way too, I suspect. With De Gea looking uncertain (transfer wise and against PSG the other night), we might have tricky spells goalkeeping wise and our defence looks vulnerable to long balls over the top. We'll probably have the highest possession in the league, as the team looks very comfortable on the ball. Memphis and Rooney look like a good partnership. Memphis is a quality player and he looks really sharp but Rooney hasn't impressed yet. It will be interesting to see what Van Gaal does against teams who park the bus, as we struggled badly against them last season. I reckon that's the reason he's putting Blind at left center back. When the other team is so deep, a lot of the balls falls to our defence and having a creative center back, who has a decent shot will be a great asset in combating the bus! Midfield is sorted, which I thought I'd never hear. Attack will be strong, providing Memphis and Rooney can stay fit. If they don't, we may struggle but could be a potential breakthrough for Januzaj, as a new converted striker! Really can't wait for the game v Spurs next week, hope we get off to a flying start! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if we get off to a good start and continue throughout the season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Oh, I forgot to mention Perriera. Didn't see as much of him in the Barca game but he's been very impressive! Reminds me of Coutinho, with his balance and agility. There's an outside chance he start next week, I think :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 :laugh3: [video=youtube;gR2_4O0mogo] I think Van Gaal was right on Pedro. We would of got the deal done because of his release clause but we're after someone else it seems. 8 days left I think until the end of the transfer window!

mikaeeljan Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Chelsea FC, all day! Both Manchester teams looking like really good competition this year though.. :D Hopefully we can acquire Pogba and/or Stones before the Transfer Window closes though, hehe.
