Just wanted to comment on the Dani Alves issue: I think it's the right moment to sell him, next year he'll be 30years old and they already have a youth product replacement for the RB position: Montoya.

It makes sense, just like when they sold Yaya to make room for Busquets. I think they'll sell this summer.
 
Just finished watching IGN's video review, I'm seriously disappointed.

Why are you disappointed?

I Got it yesterday, Haven't had the time to play it yet. I'm a fan of monster hunter which got me interested and I liked the demo, so hopefully the full game doesn't let me down. Like Kyoufu I wasn't thinking of buying it at launch but i've got time off and wanted something to play over the summer.

Fuck, don't say that. I love Alves.
 
And this is a player that started matches for his national team in the World Cup 2010. lol

Capello was just fucking with everyone at that stage. He probably didn't give a shit about England anymore.

Was trawling youtube and came across a goal that I haven't seen in years.

Enjoy this PURE SEX.

Cole and Yorke, one of the best strike partnerships i've seen, best has to be Rivaldo and Ronaldo for Brazil.

lol if its anything close i'll be happy, hopefully we get something souls related at E3, doubt it though :(
 
Heard a rumour that any transfer offer for M'Vila will have to wait until he returns from the Euro's.
One of the journos was tweeting today that him moving to England is unlikely for the moment and that a move elsewhere in Europe is more probable.

Guardian have confirmed United's bid for Kagawa. Up it a little bit more Malcy.

Also, Hazard says he wants the #10 jersey. Jeez, y u care so much Eden. Anyway, no worries, you take #10, Rooney can have #7, it's of more significance at United anyway...everybody has to buy two new shirts for this season...everyone's happy. Yep yep.

Finally, Cole & Yorke were beautiful together but Gudjohnsen and Hasselbaink had an even better partnership going just after them. Seriously telepathic shit between those two.

Also a report out there stating that Hazard's preferred position to play at next club is CAM.

Sigh, it makes so much sense for him to come to United, almost too much sense. A welcome addition although I can't deny that before United started turning into a legit option for Hazard I really wanted to lock in Kagawa...

Think he's gone on the record saying he wants to play in that free role off the top. Said it's his favourite position and actually spoke in a quite...well, boastful way about how him moving there has made him play much better and led to him scoring and assisting more goals.

I've gone from being 110% convinced he was going to City to being quite hopeful we can sign him...but as many United fans have said here...it's just too good to be true, these deals never work out for us, still expecting him to end up at City/Chelsea.

Whatever happens with Hazard we need to get Kagawa. For £15m a player of his age and quality is going to be an incredible deal.

Dortmund want 20m right? I don't think United will go that high tbh. They'll probably try to reach a compromise.

I'm curious as to why we're in for both Kagawa and Hazard as they both play in similar positions. I'd be delighted if we got them but I'm interested in seeing how they'll fit in the same team.

The pessimist in me thinks that we're already bidding for Kagawa because we know Hazard is going elsewhere. Then I'm even more pessimistic about our chances of signing Kagawa.

I'm happy with either but if United get both, they could seriously have a good chance in the CL. Would be interesting to know how Fergie would set the team out or if he'll play Kagawa deeper.

He said he "dreams of having the #10 and playing in that role". The English media were of course busy making it sound like he was demanding that number on his shirt.
 
What date is the transfer deadline? Hazard isn't signing till around that time. I think if Kagawa gets sold it'll happen sooner rather than later.

Dortmund want 20m Euros. That's about £16m. We've bid nearly £13m. Not far off.

No idea why we want both but who gives a shit. Haven't signed anybody exciting in years let's just do it. I genuinely think United want both though. We've progressed too far on both transfers to be using Kagawa as a back up for Hazard. I'm not sure it's a wise idea though because it leaves CM very weak and all that money could be better spent in rebalancing the squad.

United won't win CL till they sort out the CM.

Transfers for English clubs can go through between 1st July and 31st August.

Both have said they will decide their future once their intentional duties have been completed. For Hazard that's in a week, for Kagawa, two.

Dat Dwight Yorke. Always such a class player. Even if he was a twat off pitch.

Its fun going through old games. This is the kind of football I was brought up expecting Villa to play. Here is him bagging two.

Yeah, they can start training/playing training matches as soon as they have signed so that transfer window start doesn't matter much.
 
Also looks like Fabio will go to QPR instead of Benfica on loan next year, according to a Portuguese journo who is apparently well connected.

Would prefer that as he gets to play/learn in the English league. Just hope he gets minutes.
 
God fucking dammit! Just got home from work! D:
I'm supposed to be at a barbecue today as well. I better not waste my day...
 

? I was watching a Costa Rica friendly match.
That kid Joel Campbell (Arsenal, on loan at some french club) is going to be a bomb in a few years. I think he is like what, 19? and he's so talented and good already. He was, easily the best man on the pitch today and way ahead of any other player from the Costa Rica NT.

Did Bryan Oviedo and Gamboa play?

Nope, Bryan is still injured, he was at the stadium watching the game tho.
Gamboa wasn't called for the friendly of the start of the qualifiers, I think he hasn't been called by their new coach yet.
 
After the Belgium game, I hope people (who don't watch non-PL football) are starting to realize Hazard might have the flashier name, better PR and great potential, but we need Kagawa to play as first choice no. 10. Certainly no back-up target IMO.
 
What number you guys think Kagawa will take if both Hazard and Kagawa come to United? Seems like Hazard is guaranteed number 10. It'd be nice if Kagawa at least gets 23, but don't think Cleverly will give that number up.

Oh and agree with Tim. As much as I want him at United I won't stand for a player of Kagawa's magnitude to be relegated to being second-choice when he clearly deserves better. Would rather see him at Arsenal than see him being treated that way.

Yeah. Our bid is just going to have to bump that little bit higher.

Hope Solo is some kind of amazing.

:) heh, at least we made it to the WC that time. Hope we can go to wc2014

I'd be willing to have Russia crash and burn at this Euro if it guaranteed we would qualify for world cup 2014. Russia hasn't been to a World Cup since 2002 and hasn't been non-awful at one since before I was born. Its ridiculous how we always seem to qualify for euros but not the world cup.

Is that where you are from?

He was going to pick up a shirt and everything haha! but he couldn't find one at a decent price for what was just going to be a bit of a laugh
