If Yanited come knocking I don't think Juve stand a chance.

Why? There's no guarantee that they will be in the CL next season. There not even in Europe this season. I'm sure the manager has a bearing on any decision but playing this season for one of the great European clubs in the CL would have huge appeal.

Because they're Man United.

Pretending that doesn't matter as they're not in Europe strikes me as wide of the mark to say the least.

Yeah, for me too. Plus the Luis Van Gaal factor.  He's offski.

If it's Yanited I just hope we rinse them blind and we get the money all of it for new players.

Lambert seems convinced he will be here for another year to me. I don't know whether or not he'll sign a new deal but I dint think he will be off this year.

I'm sorry, but I missed the bit where I have suggested it doesn't matter. My post is in response to the suggestion Juve have "no chance" if Man U "come knocking" which strikes me as wide of the mark.

Between juve and Yanited it's no contest . M6 north.

you still haven't offered a reason why it is "no contest". Maybe I am missing something but has every player Man U ever gone after signed for them?

Juve's never struck me as a particularly appealing club to join, even when in the CL. They get an average gate of about 37k and have all of the stigma of the match fixing scandal. I wouldn't say it's "no contest" but I'd certainly expect Vlaar to opt for Utd given the choice.

Villa Toronto
First of all it's man Yanited
Second it Louis van gaal
Then there's at least 10 compelling reasons which I can't be arsed to list,  maybe even 20.

I am not sure Italian football is all that attractive any more full stop is it?  Spanish and over here seem to be the places to be these days.

This is a bit encouraging at least.  He might stay for the first game.

I know I've had a few drinks tonight, but does this say what I think it does?

"But Vlaar is not prepared to consider a potential move away from Aston Villa and insists he is excited about the shape of the club's squad following their 4-1 friendly victory against Groningen earlier today."

If it does, I suspect the story's complete bollox.

villa silhill, you still haven't told me why it is no contest. That's the original point I am contesting. If you said Man U is a great option and something he'd consider it would be impossible to argue. I am merely pointing out that Juventus is a CL club and the champions of Italy. To say it would be a no contest decision isn't correct. And as I have pointed out to you, Man U don't sign every player they go after. They didn't when Ferguson was there, they didn't under Moyes, and they haven't since Van Gaal has been there.

it isn't what it once was that's for sure. However, Juventus remains one of the most decorated clubs in European football and at 29 Vlaar might take the sure option to CL football than one with Man U which doesn't guarantee it next season.

That is rather good news and I say, 'good on you, Ron.'
