Or that  They have an outstanding academy that just keeps churning out talent.
Fellaini might be on his way to Napoli 
Agger to Barca is gathering pace too. He's definitely not the CB I would have let go.

wouldn't get your hopes up, it's not going to happen same as all the previous summers where we've been linked with similar transfers

The English player tax for Shaw and Lallana alone means some top performers from the WC could be brought in with cash to spare. Vlaar should be at the top of the CB list!
Koeman at least has a sense of humour with his training pic on twitter with an empty field
and they could still potentially sell Boruc, Wanyama, Ramirez and Osvaldo

I'd be more concerned that the current CB's are Evans, Smalling and Jones

FWIW fee for Chambers is ridic. Cant claim to know much about him but seems versatile, young and most improtanyl English so pretty happy. General view is he has a lot of talent. Think Jenko still has a future as don't see Chambers as RB longer term from comments, CB and DM back-up - think he will need to do well at WHU (apparently) then will fight with Bellerin IMO. Let's see

and that they want to play 3-5-2 TV5 is not the answer, though he would help (though suspect we would demand Jones or Smalling in exchange)
Suppsoedly we have looked at Fabian Schar again from Basel, would be well happy with that but would prefer more English talent

Schar has looked quality whenever I've seen him. Good ball playing CB.

Van Gaal has made Luke Shaw train alone as he's not fit enough!
Rooney is going to be fucked under Van Gaal.

Not sure if bait!
From an attitude point of view you may be right. From a fitness point of view he is probably one of the best trainers we have.
But I suspect you just said it to hurt us

Yep agreed. Issue is that ideally, we need a CB who can come to be Mertesacker's replacement in the longer term (nearly 30) as we need rid of TV5 as he cant play with Kos as he's the same, which Schar also seems to be :S

Fergie himself said that Rooney was a nightmare with fitness. They had to keep at him constantly, as he's not a naturally fit athlete. His commitment can't be questioned on the pitch, but if he gets injured it takes them a while to get him back up to speed.

No bait.
He's known for turning up to pre season way way over weight???
He's the Ricky Hatton of football.

I forgot that Diaby is an Arsenal player (reading about his pre season comments). If he stays fit, it could solve the lack of presence in their midfield. Huge if though.

it'll never ever happen. more of a box to box player tbh too, but on his day he is amazing
Shad Forsyth, the American-born German national football team fitness coach, started with us today to help us sort out the huge amount of muscle injuries we get. was told on the training ground tour that the club were about to make huge changes at the training ground too around injuries, recovery and muscles in particular; those 2 decisions could be much more influential to the team than any new signing tbh!

Aye he's not a sitting midfielder, but he definitely adds a bit of muscle which is sorely lacking at the minute. When I fist saw him play I automatically thought of Vieira!
I'm amazed its taken so long for someone to question the fitness team really Muscle injuries that would keep a player out a matter of weeks usually ends up in months.

I said Valbuena was a bargain at the price, apparently West Ham are in for him. He'd be mental to go there though

agree on all fronts losing ramsey for an additional 2.5 months on top of what should have been a 1 month lay-off arguably cost us a proper shot at the title
