No, but it's all a bit gloating and gushing for me. Just my opinion. Every other teams fans are just as hopeful, but they have been rather more restrained.
I get what you're saying but I'm just reading, and writing, about the potential of the combinations and what it theoretically allows.

I think we all know for every Bailly there is a schneiderlin, for every depay, a martial.

So we want to see the season start and get back to what we do best, i.e. for dbecks to lament why world class managers keep picking a certain MC in our midfield, how fellaini can be a first choice for any team with top four ambitions, how lingard can be worth 100k per week or when lindeloff is going to come good.

At least on Thursday United is playing sampdoria at a decent time so maybe we can talk football.

I havent gloated or anything like that. I am just excited about having 3 of the finest Midfileders in Europe playing in a balanced formation - something we needed to address in our team for while and this is the first time we see that in terms of players and balance - so yes, I'm ****ing stoked!

Added to that, Matic is a proven EPL winner and just came off a winning season of which he played 35 out of 38 games
Added to that, we just bought one of the best strikers in the EPL, second highest scorer last year and we have put him in a team that has created the most chances last year

So stoked again! We are strengthening and building on foundation already in place.

Other teams may be excited and so be it, and maybe they not
Maybe they arent excited about getting a unproven winger from Roma, knowing that they struggled last year with one game a week and only managed 4th, and on top of that, they may loose their best player

Maybe other teams are circumspect about a French league player who still has to cut it in the EPL - not everyone is Zlatan. Plus add to that Thursday night footie

Maybe some fans of City and Chelsea are still deciding who they supporting this year. Chelsea missed out on Lukaku and now have to gamble on a striker with no EPL experience and who hasnt had too much game time of late. They also sold one of the key players from last season and hoping a French Ligue player will be able to just fit in and do the same. City look like they cleaning house as much as they are buying. Will they just gel in the EPL? What about the keepers who seem like a double clown act

And Spurs havent even moved in the market

So yes if I was gloating..you would know :D

Hey, just so you know I was not singling out anyone in particular. It's just the overall impression I got from everyone. And then again, that would just be my opinion.
It's all good. I'm on board with lowering expectations. The off season is just so boring!

If you telling me that Carrick is there to defend..then **** you..:D

That's generally what a CDM does, retard... you don't buy a CDM expecting him to bang 20 goals a season right? or are you playing football manager again?

Next you gonna start telling me a CB must score every time from a corner? what next? A winger must at least score 40 goals like Ronaldo?

sheesh your warped blinkered view of a CDM - all you thinking about is a CM. Oh wait I forgot you also believe a CAM must track back and defend and tackle and break up play as well...

No, I'm saying Carrick isnt a CM or CDM or anything.

So if we deployed a player who cant run or tackle or win headers as a CDM, then we have a problem

his still hating... gonna laugh if Matic takes shape and learns from Carrick

What would he need to learn from Carrick and what shape are you talking of

Matic is his own player and a proper CDM

It's called being optimistic, I haven't been this optimistic in a long time.

I don't recall seeing any posts claiming we will win everything, other than challenging for.

i was optimistic when falcoa and di maria were lining up....see how that turned out:crylaugh:

And you had every right to be, but then Dimaria has an unfortunate robbery which put him off and LVG decided that he will play boring football, so it didnt matter who we bought

We have seen what Mou can do and we have an exciting team as seen from last year. There is a definite plan here and players are brough in with that plan in mind
