Zatman Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I dont think he was even that bad the problem for me was he was a player United didnt need except to prove they could still attract big players without Champions League football and was a clueless footballing decision as they had no idea what to do with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Di Maria was always looking for a way out after his house got burgled which freaked out his wife big time. I can understand that, imagine you go to Spain, can't speak any of the language and then get burgled, I wouldn't really want to be hanging around in that situation. United still got 44m back for him so certainly nowhere near the biggest loss in English football on a player. Torres was a much worse transfer., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I hope we get a result so bad. I really can't stand LVG. I think he has pissed money off the wall and they still look average. They just about finished 4th because of a keeper he didn't buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Smalling to establish himself as a top CB this year? Van Gaal has put faith in him with his transfer dealings. Very impressed with him in both games so far. Hugely critical in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Same for me, I too wonder what coaches and other fans saw in him but he had a very strong end of last season and has started to mature into a leader. He's comfortably ahead of Phil Jones in the development stage. Let's see this United defence against an Alexis or Aguero though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I really noticed how good Smalling was against us. Really fast and tall center back. He has the makings to be one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He's an absolute dinosaur of a player though. Just holds every time to get a jump on whoever he's marking. Fair play if he gets away with it. Carragher was a top CB for years because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Have you ever heard Smalling talk? it's totally not what you'd expect. I think I'd laugh if he was trying to organise me in defence. he did look very good against us though, come a long way from being sat on the floor by Benteke.

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What's the betting on 'Memphis' being a flop? Certainly was a threat most of the night against us and makes very good runs but his end product, whether a shot or set piece, looked awful.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Once he gets adjusted to the league I think he'll score a bundle.

What? my football experience has always been loud brash centre backs screaming till their face is like a tomato, Smalling is very articulate and softly spoken, I just can't imagine him barking orders.

rodders0223 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) All 3 league games on TV and they have stunk the place at every time. Are LVG sides always this one paced and dull? Edited August 22, 2015 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
