You can always come for Jorge Jesus. Man Utd has a good relationship with Jorge Mendes so it's an easy deal

We will wrap him up for you

Who would you get for Benfica then? Problem with Jesus is he finishes his contract at the end of the year, so we wouldn't get money for him.


I would very much like to have Michel Preud'homme.

My second favorite would be Marco Silva but now is almost impossible. I would also like Vitor Pereira (not a consensual pick)

But I think we'll get Paulo Bento or Rui Vitória...

Pretty awesome from Thiago Silva and not so awesome from the french FA. All the players are wearing jackets and the kids have to stand there in t-shirts, thankfully Thiago is an awesome guy and the kid has a memory he won't soon forget. Love the girl being all "big sister" btw.

Yikes. I don't know much aboud Preud'homme's coaching skills, seems like he's doing well at Club Brugges, but feels like a bit of a gamble.

I'd rather keep Jesus than try any of the others you've mentioned. Marco Silva seems to be a great coach but he's impossible right now.

honestly i would not complain one bit if ryan giggs took over starting next season. ideally lvg stays and just gets his shit together, but ryan giggs bleeds man utd. he may not have coaching experience but really, if youre good at motivating people, have good tactical knowledge and can manage people well, then why not try now. giggs only needs to prove the man management aspect and i think he could be up to it.

i dont know about others but for me the only reason im hating on lvg at the moment is because the way we play is just shit. the results could be worse and like you said, this season is just weird. but the way we play is just ugly and crap. not the style i fell in love with

Reus gravitates towards BVB renewals

Dortmund - The transfer sage of Marco Reus points to a surprising turn. Matching information from this editorial staff and Radio 91.2 has Reus and BVB significantly closer in their negotiations. According to this, a contract extension to his contract that runs until 2017 could be officially announced in February.

The two parties have negotiated for months on an extension because Reus's current contract allows him an early exit this summer for a stipulated fee just under 30 million Euros.

...

When renewing a contract, this clause would then lapse. Reus's market value is significantly higher than 30 million Euros.

...


http://mobil.ruhrnachrichten.de/sport/bvb/Wende-im-Transferpoker-Reus-tendiert-beim-BVB-zur-Vertragsverlaengerung;art11635,2618468

FUCK. YES.

Oh, and apologies on the translation. I'm not that great at translating German, but the gist should be correct.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

more like Reus knows his injury cost him his form and he might be benched whereever he lands next if he can not get back into shape.
BVB is the best club to get back into form, they cant afford to bench him too often

i dont think any club would have the balls to bench him unless he played really really bad.

I don't think Real would start 25m € Reus instead of 10000000m € Ronaldo, Bale and James. In the case of Real his low clause cost might be a reason not tu buy him. Not enough prestige etc

Would Bayern play him instead of the perfectly working duo of Ribben and Robbery?

:/ Problem with Giggs is i think it's just too sentimental. We want our own Pep but the reality is there's no guarantee Giggs is even good enough for league 2 let alone Manchester United. If Moyes with all his experience in the premier league can cock it up so badly, then LVG who has am almost unrivaled decoration of medals to his name is struggling, how would a player with basically 0 experience be anything but a monumental risk.

Also you have to be tactically smart to succeed in the modern game, maybe I'm reaching here but from being a united fan my whole life I really never got the impression hes anything but average in terms of intelligence. Not stupid but hardly a clever guy. Put it this way, how is he more qualified than a lifelong season ticket holder who's happened to have done their coaching badges, to run the club? There is no proof great players make great managers. Maybe actually the opposite is true.

How is Giggs performing with the youth teams? Thing with Pep is that he did a very good job with Barcelona-B before taking the role as first team manager. With youth teams you pretty much have to play with what you get and if you manage to get results it shows you have a clear knowledge of how to apply tactics and players in certain roles.

It's official, reus renewed his contract until 2019 without a buyout clause!

He could have been a legitimate successor to ribery in my opinion, his form is declining for a long time - not that i want to say hes bad but he is not on a level with the very few best in the world anymore - reus isnt either after his injurys though..

Happy for borussia, maybe that can boost their form - 7th could be enough to qualify for europe this season.

NEWS!

According to local media reports in Germany, Marco Reus is closing in on a contract extension at Borussia Dortmund. Local paper Ruhr Nachrichten as well as Dortmund's Radio 91.2 have reported that Dortmund and Reus have come close to an agreement on extending his current deal. His current deal runs out in 2017 but the 25-year-old can reportedly trigger a 25 million-euro release clause in the summer of 2015 and Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a move.

Barcelona’s international sporting director Ariedo Braida says he would be interested in re-signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal. The Chilean left the Camp Nou to join Arsenal in the summer but Braida told El Mercurio: “I’d like Sanchez at any club I’m at. I know him a lot but I don’t know what reasons the club had to let him go, but now Sanchez is one of the best in the Premier League and is at a top level in world football.”

Manchester United are close to agreeing a new deal with David de Gea and are willing to make him the world's best paid goalkeeper

Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on Manchester City forward Stevan Jovetic, according to Spanish newspaper AS.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce says a deal to sign Lassana Diarra is almost complete and he'll make a good addition to the squad...

Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic insists he knows nothing about a potential switch to the Premier League.

Diego Simeone's father is hopeful the Atletico Madrid boss will spend “many more years” at the La Liga club.

Real Sociedad manager David Moyes has revealed he would be interested in taking Burnley striker Danny Ings to the Anoeta Stadium.

Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has started his last match for the European champions, according to Spanish radio station El Larguero.

Brendan Rodgers is confident Raheem Sterling will extend his Liverpool contract after the club offered him an ‘incredible’ new deal.

Manchester City are keeping tabs on highly-regarded Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone as concerns continue to grow over their faltering season

Boca Juniors director Marcelo London has confirmed that Dani Osvaldo will sign his contract with the club tomorrow now a deal has been agreed.

Or they could still get relegated and Reus just ruined his career
