Topic: Louis Van Gaal was the Manager of Mourinho United

[Chakan]

One thing is with having Van Gaal as manager is that without CL, they should be able to attract some decent players.

How does that make sense? Surely decent players want CL football?

[CHOPPER]

Mark my words - LDV van Gaal will be one brilliant, brilliant disaster.

[Mouth]

No, they want to play for the club, for the short, for the pride.

We saw it all the time with us, every player we went for signed for us even though we weren't in the CL.

I hope you're right but he is too clever and seen too much to be a disaster.

[Kadian]

Peculiar little nose he has.

You clearly haven't paid attention to his past managerial positions.

We need a Moyes to Van Gaal morph asap (and a video with the doctor who music playing over it as well if at all possible)

He has a face you want to  Pu...........

No wonder is nose is mangled.

I'm thinking Scholari at Chelsea.

Yes. Get off to a very good start, then slowly watch it unravel.

the ugly one

Considering he is supposed to be a top manager, his record of 4 trophies since 2000, is not great. Ok he's had 4 years managing Holland in that period, but its still a poor return. His return to Barca in 02 lasted only 6 months, with 9 defeats. A similar stat at United would be nice.

There was all kinds of infighting at Barca in his time there. It might depend on how his blood pressure is after the World Cup what sort of attitude he takes to Manchester. He's not taking over til after the World Cup.

There's been a lot of in fighting at United this season to. He's not exactly the kind of person to harmonise the squad. He is well known for upsetting a lot of senior players because he treats them the same as the kids. Giggs still being there is the big mistake. When he starts to upset the likes of Rooney, Carrick etc, they'll be running to their mate Giggseh to stick the knife in his back.

Why Robin van Persie's dream boss Louis van Gaal could be Wayne Rooney's worst nightmare

Rooney has not scored a significant goal in the Premier League or Champions League against a leading club since a brace in the Manchester derby at the Etihad in December 2012.

Mr. Ferguson dropped him from a Champions League knock-out clash with Real Madrid and seemed ready to run him out of town before the old knight’s retirement won him a reprieve.

Van Gaal will regard such facts, rather than Rooney’s image as English football’s poster boy, and he will challenge the player with some searching questions.

He will ask whether Rooney is on the wane. Whether he has ever quite deserved his world-class reputation.

He will know that despite the hair transplant and suspected Botox, Rooney is not as young as he now looks.

He will be weeks from his 30th birthday the next time Manchester United can possibly play European football.

Van Gaal will attempt to get inside Rooney’s head, as he does with all players.

He will demand to know what makes Rooney tick personally and he may not like what he discovers.

I mean I think Rooney will have trouble Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal, but what an absolutely awful article. Who the hell gave the OK to print that heap of shit? Nice to see the 300k contract myth is still well and truly alive in the papers too.

[Ziltoid]

"Together i'm sure we will make history"

Fuck, there's no way he'll re-write history of Moyes.  I'll enjoy watching him try.

[Hazell]

"He will ask whether Rooney is on the wane." Looks like they've taken inspiration from the general transfer thread.

Photo of the Rooney family?!

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

Anyone has got photos of Van Gaal's testicles yet?

[Walshy nMe®]

Errrrrr

[Stussy]

things won't go insane until end of January to mid February when they start to realise they're not getting Champions League, then watch them turn on each other, the players, the manager, the fans.

[El Ninos Black Eye]

Errrrrr

He dropped his kecks at Half Time to the Bayern team and asked them if it looked like that performance had made him excited.

[rusty-la]

Bee Gee's reunion?....

I thought they were dead?

[RojoLeón]

Where is their old man, Malcolm?

In fact, when was the last time he was seen in public?

[robertobaggio37]

I think he'll be a disaster personally.

I wish you were right. Presonally, I can't see it to be honest.

Luca Toni: Van Gaal showed us his balls
February 4, 2011
Juventus' ex-Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni on Thursday revealed how coach Louis van Gaal once proved he had 'the balls' to drop any of Bayern's stars - by dropping his trousers.

Louis van Gaal: A man on the brink
Having joined Bayern from Fiorentina in 2007, Toni, 33, was Bayern's top scorer in his first season when he scored 24 goals in 31 league games as Bayern won the Bundesliga title.

But he played just four league games under van Gaal before he switched to AS Roma in the January winter break at the start of 2010 and was not one of van Gaal's first-choice players.

"Van Gaal simply didn't want to work with me, he treats players like interchangeable objects," said Toni.

The Italian told German magazine Sport Bild about the time van Gaal proved to Bayern's superstars, including Dutchman Arjen Robben, Germany's Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger how he was man enough to drop any of his players.

"The coach wanted to make clear to us that he can drop any player, it was all the same to him because, as he said, he had the balls," said Toni.

"He demonstrated this literally (by dropping his trousers). I have never experienced anything like it, it was totally crazy. Luckily I didn't see a lot, because I wasn't in the front row."

Toni is not the first ex-Bayern player to criticise van Gaal as former captain Lucio has said the coach was part of the reason he left Munich in July 2009.

"Van Gaal hurt me more than anyone else in football," said Brazil defender Lucio who won the Champions League title with Inter Milan last season.

Van Gaal was criticised last October by Bayern president Uli Hoeness for being hard to work with and ex-captain Mark van Bommel quit the club suddenly last week to join AC Milan with rumours he found it hard to work with van Gaal.

On Wednesday, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge backed van Gaal by insisting the Dutchman is exactly what the German giants need.

Van Gaal has a contract at Bayern until June 2012.

No official photo of him that can be proven to have been taken for some five years now.. very strange indeed.

Seeing as Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal is also a Knight, shouldn't his autocorrect start with "Mr"?

150m given to Man United for Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal to win the league.

100m given to Wenger for Arsenal to win the league.

Are they gonna share it or something?

[rscanderlech]

Not for nothing - but it was brought to my attention in the early days of the Moyes thread that some United fans on some of their forums had a good old laugh at PoP's expense when I pointed out that Moyes' method of training would injure their explosive players more, and would fatigue their quicker players while making their slower, more endurance-based players fitter. Now, along comes Van Gaal saying exactly that same thing, and showing up Moyes' fitness methods to be very antiquated. I wonder what their reaction will be now, haha.

At least they now have a manager who understands the modern way of training the body for football.

The hilarious part is that you predicted they would finish 5th, and they laughed you off. Then they finished 7th.
