    Agree that they've both got potential and I'm all for giving the youngsters a chance, however, centre back requires a degree of experience and maturity. Both these 2 are under 21. Minimum age I would consider a centre back for a regular 1st team place is 23.

     

    Van Dijk is 27 and has only really looked world class over the last year or 2.

    Celtic he was only ok

    if he's going to splash out on a center back why not splash out on a really good one, who's technically gifted which of course Maguire is not.  A younger Toby perhaps, a Varane,  or someone anything near as good as VVD would suffice.  Cant see Maguire making much of an impression.  All huff and puff with little technical ability.  

    Me too, ok he had a fairly good WC then people were saying buy him, but last season Leicester had one of the worst defensive records in the PL, leave him out

    ...Or mobile patrols catching drivers swerving in lanes, crossing in no passing zones, speeding, reckless driving and so on. Then again, there is an absence of proactive traffic enforcement and seemingly no will to adopt such measures.

    Riding up the inside does my head in, yesterday it happened were I want to turn left I had my indicator on and I was watching her in my mirror she had no intentions of slowing down or stopping

    Yesterday I drove through to Bangkok, noted a car in front with golliwogs all along the back windscreen.

     

    Went for an oil massage a bit later, they tried to charge me 700thb, double the advertised price of 350thb for an hour. I heard them talking putside the room that farang have a lot of money etc.

    Silly mistake, as I had been there before and paid local price, and I stay just round the corner. Another regular customer lost forever.

     

    Sometimes they are just too thick to understand what they are doing.

    Nice one

    You forgot to add he was Ole's right hand man at Cardiff and Molde and was on United's coaching staff before and was one of the ones Moyes shifted when he decided to strip the backbone out of the club.

    Yep you're right 

    Dempsey left United in 2009 after more than 15 years with the club in order to take up another youth development coaching role with Norwegian outfit Tromso before linking up with Solskjaer at Molde a year later.

  6. Whats your take on Zidane? Zidane as director of football? 

    Former United defender Silvestre posted the image from his holiday in Dubai on Instagram along with the caption: "Catching up with some friends and the one and only Zidane. Best 2018 manager?"

    Coincidence or what dont forget Silvestre still does a bit MU as an ambassador and played along side him in French national team 

     

  7. Who is Mark Dempsey? New Manchester United coach profiled

    Man Utd have brought in Mark Dempsey to supplement Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching staff.

    Manchester United have a new coach on their books after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added Mark Dempsey to his set-up.

    Here's everything you need to know about him...

    Full name: Mark James Dempsey

    Date of birth: 14 January 1964

    Birthplace: Crumpsall, Manchester, UK

    Dempsey came through the academy at United as a young player in the early 1980s. He was part of the senior set-up under former Old Trafford boss Ron Atkinson from 1982 but never made the grade and joined Sheffield United in 1986.

    Sarcasm has nothing to do with this. It's about tourists/foreigners who think think they can drive without a license whilst the're visiting Thailand. Why do you have issues with this? Would they drive bikes in their home country without a license? I don't think so.

    The car and bike rental company where we send the farang tourist to, will not rent if you dont have a license and a International Permit, they have been fined, I know because I took two farang to get a car and the guy in the office told me
