Possibly a double bid for Di Maria and Alonso? I think LvG ultimately wants Strootman, so a player like Alonso might actually make sense.
--------
Can someone explain where this whole LVG and Strootman thing actually comes from?

Not bashing the connection, I just have never heard or read it in the media, and a few posters do say it.

His agent recently came out and said LVG is interested in him.

di maria - utd £55m - only we would pay absurd amount of money
--------------------------------
You literally just wrote an article about writing a group letter to UTD about not making top signings

You must be a wum.... No one can be that dumb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you dumba5s i was comparing players that real have sold. as far as i can remember we have never bought a madrid player before and since ed has told everyone we have money real will try to nick of around £50m

We are desperate. 50 million quid for Di Maria is crazy. We will be lucky to get 15 premier league goals from the lad. Football has gone bonkers.

Because he is LvG's main man for Holland's CM, going as far as to completely change his tactical setup when the guy got injured.

Managers like players they know inside out... LvG knows Strootman inside out.

I don't think there is any concrete link, just logic.

How much have Madrid spend so far this summer?

£20m Kroos
£45m Rodrigues

?

We got Herrera and Shaw for similar figures, scary really.

Why haven't we bid for Strootman, is he still injured? Even with a dodgy he's probably better than fletcher and cleverley.

Your price has already dropped by £5m.... Good work Ed

Strootman was critical for LVG's plans for Netherlands. He was the best DM available to him. Situation is quite different at united, he can get any DM he wants(according to Ed), I dont really see him waiting till Strootman gets better. There are many of better holding midfield players than him

we should have gotten strootman before he went to roma. i made an article regarding this situation. lately we been buying players that have PL experience and leave out players like strootman thinking whether they would fit into PL or not. KS has been good for roma and now we are convinced we seem to be interested.

"you're account"

Really, last time I looked there was a huge lack of major quality in CM positions, especially players that are even remotely possible.

Care to name a few?

Kroos was in the last year of his contract.
Rodriguez was £63m

id be surprised if your actually seriously in for him

you don't actually need him, especially at £50m

you need a whole new back four and midfield to even think about challenging the top 5

"you don't actually need him"

You're right, we've got Valencia and Young

WTFFFFFFFF.

That is fúcking ridiculous.

If all fit we have a good enough defence for top 4 we just need a DM to help cover. Khedeira and Di Maria double bid would be perfect. Not saying it's going to happen though.

I'm still unsure how we would line up with Di Maria though?

Something like this:

---------------DDG-----------------
Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Shaw
----------Herrera, Carrick-------
----------------Mata---------------
-----Rooney, RVP, Di Maria----
