Oh and for the comparison between LVG and Mourinho. They both have illusions of grandeur and they basically think that they both have got the midas touch, but at least LVG only talks about himself (to the ridiculous degree, often in third person, usually talking about how great he is and which prizes he has won so far, which is hilarious in its own right). He's always respectful to his colleagues in the football world though. He'd never stir up shit in the media with other teams/managers. Only thing he does is arguing with the press that they're asking stupid questions.

I think LvG did a good job at Bayern and helped set a path to future success for them. Ultimately he was not good enough for Bayern's ambitions and got sacked but he did a great job stabilizing that team in short order. It's always impressive to get to the CL final and be on the brink of a treble. That's why I think he'd be a decent stopgap for United until a long term triple A coach becomes available (they botched it so badly with Moyes with basically every good coach available haha...).

Anyways, Moyes will be sacked on Tuesday according to the guardian so that's that.

Van Gaal would be my number one choice to build up a team.
What he did with Bayern was so impressive. Also he discovered Müller. ^^

Müller is the perfect total football player. Do the Dutch love him btw?

wow, what a terrible roster(!).

This roster probably better than today's roster lol. Young Schweingsteiger+Lahm+Robben, and Altintop, who was better than Ribery in his prime.


Well äh no.
The only players that were called elite at that time were Ribery, Lahm and Müller, who was 20 i think? Badstuber is a inner CB, Demichelis wasnt faster then he is now, Van Buyten needed a 10 square meters to turn around and my mom could outrun Van Bommel.

The only position which was then better tan now is at Goalkeeper, man Hans-Jörg Butt is just an awesome dude. I mean "made the most goals in CL history on his position"(i think), how many players can say that?

Schweinsteiger wasnt an elite? We are talking about 2010, right? Because im pretty sure that most of people called him one of the best in the world if not the best after EURO 2008.

I prefer Demichelis and Van Buyten over Dante&Boateng because they were much more stronger. Moreover, Van Buyten was quite good at set pieces, and Demichelis was quite good at these days lol.

You have to understand that a team like that has gotten better the past 4 years. All those players that still play now are leagues ahead of their counterpart 4 years ago. Back then no player in that squad was ever named as a contender for best player in the world. Schweinsteiger, Müller, Lahm have all gotten way better in the last 4 years. Now we've got people claiming half the starting formation could win the golden ball. Badstuber and Müller were just in their first year of first-team football for example. Robben basically won them everything that year on his own.

And Altintop? Nah, lol. Good player, but not as good as Ribery, and I think Ribery is currently the most overrated player in the world.

I understand what you mean but its not like they were no names. They played one CL quarter final and EURO final before CL final.

I can't argue about Altintop though.

The last two posts prove my point that all Barca supporters are anti-fans of his.


I hated him since his first run with Porto,

I was rooting for Monaco so hard. Additionally I dont particularly like United either but the way that Porto team tugged everyones knickers all over the pitch those 2 legs cemented for Mou football and even more so his first lieutenant Ricardo.

.

This. 2 rounds against Florentina and United he practically won by himself, that team got carried hard and would have been lucky to win the whole thing

Also that final was a perfect example of why the current 2 backs are way better than Demechelis + Van Buyten

I mean I think that is still a great squad but.. prolly demichelis, van buyten, van bommel, and altintop have been swapped for better players, and müller is better than before, and there's imo not any position in that squad that is better than today

Would be very interesting to see because ManU does have like 3 players that can play a ball position system. And one of them is 40 years old .


Well my strongest memories of him are the toxic enviroment he created in the team and an ego beyond believe.
He made it to the finals, thats right. But the price was shity football to watch.
Even as a Bayern supporter i prefer good over successful football.
wow, this gank is gonna be easy....

Why does Man Utd talk about themselves in the third person? Seems a bit weird, or is every football club like that on twitter?

Didn't they say they wanted a manager for a new dynasty or something? That was a very short dynasty.
