He'll be a cracking player one day. Wouldn't you rather see him here than at the Scum?

I dont want Albrighton to go anywhere. None of the kids actually. I think they are pretty special. I know every football fan thinks this but I have a very good feeling about our youth.

Class. Bannan and Albrighton stepping up next season should be great.

Really exciting players - I'm a huge fan of Bannan in particular. He looks so comfortable alongside Adam and Fletcher in the Scotland side. Going to be a top player.

Unfortunately we have no idea what formation AML will play.

Yeah it will be interesting to see. Luckily he seems to be fairly astute tactically.

Note how he mentions Diego again....would be a scoop if we nabbed him.

Yup. Speaking of which the Charlie Adam rumours have gone quiet. I wonder where he will end up? Still Liverpool I assume?

Bannan (I think) was brilliant when I was at Villa Park last season. Ran rings around Carrick and Fletcher all game.

He can't be worse than the dudes they have on Bayern II right now.

Well, they pretty much renewed the whole Bayern II team. Erb, Hajdarovic, Wohlfahrt,, Christian Saba, Julian Leist, Lewicki, Thomas Kurz, Deniz Yilmaz, Nicola Sansone, Kuru and Schürf left the team after last season.

They gave you something you didn't ask for, I'd say you're being too nice about it lol
He definitely is! This happened to me a few years back, the spacing was too wide between two letters and I felt the shirt was ruined but didn't really notice it until I got the shirt home.
I took it back and was met with the "there's nothing we can do unfortunately, our policy doesn't cover returns on printed items" or some similar shit. After seeing that they weren't gonna budge and didn't even seem that sympathic I kicked off, big time.
Guess what? I got a refund for the shirt printing, a brand new shirt and the name printed again for free. Miraculous considering "there was nothing they could do."
I did get really mad though, at their attitude more than anything. I thought I'm either leaving with a new shirt or they're gonna have to call the police :lol

Rumors that Man Utd are looking to sign 2 new players in the coming week. One midfielder and one striker.
personally, I don't know about utd signing a striker, especially with welbeck back and ashley young able to play the supporting striker role. But If hernandez was to get injured next season, its a major blow unless berba can repeat this seasons form. Think we'll sign a midfielder definately. Its been pretty quiet from united since the de gea signing, looks like they've been working on the brown/O'shea deals. Sad to see o'shea leave :(
He scored some important goals for us in the past, like the goal at anfield and against arsenal in the champions league first leg a couple of years ago.

I hope we don't sell Berba. Berba provides a different style to our attack compared to Chicha. Both will contribute this coming season.

I agree berba is awsome technically, but Berba going for free would be really bad after we got him for 30 million. Now does seem like the best time to sell if he's not going to finish his career at united.
Its Shocking that the top scorer in the premiership isn't attracting more attention from the big clubs in europe. hopefully if he's going to leave, we can use him in a cash plus player deal for sneijder.

He is a strange strange player. He always looks completely knackered, shows frustration with himself and teammates if a pass or a shot doesnt go perfectly, gives up chasing balls that are less than 50/50's and yet......just has this strange magic about him that some games he is just "on", he pops up in exactly the right places and distpaches it in a spectacular manner.

Strange , strange player.

Oh man. Now I feel bad.

Once you watch a few of those videos, you won't feel bad anymore - you'd feel proud of him. Working his socks off, trying to salvage any hope of a career, and frankly, an income for himself and his family. I was heartbroken to see him walk off after a few minutes during his comeback game last season. Unbelievable bad luck.

I think a pay-as-you-play/one year contract would be the obvious choice, but I'd love to see him at Arsenal. He'd make a great signing.

You're right.

I would have done myself an injury doing those turns on the treadmill.

He started well, but seemed to lose himself as the season went on. Around January it seemed sure that we were going to buy him, but in end he wasn't worth it. To be fair to him, the whole team went down the shitter in the second half of the season and he was being played in a less advanced position than he is used to.
To his credit, though, he stayed injury-free. And he really was good for the first few months, like the Aquilani of old.

The Sun (lol) lead with the exclusive "City Nab Nas".

Apparently Nasri is on the verge of signing a £150k a week deal with City.

SSN have just been across to City's Carrington training ground.

- Savic expected to sign today.
- The media centre there is being kitted out ready for press conferences.
- Players arriving early today, Sky believe photo shoots will take place today at Carrington for the new Home kit but they don't expect to get a glimpse of it, even though everyone's seen it now.

Everton just keep rolling out the dodgy kits don't they:

Le Coq have done some decent kits in the past. Puzzling.

They are very sporadic.

Sometimes they do great kits, then they pull random ones out of no where which have no connection with the club.

I can't remember City ever having a orange kit until then. It's always Sky Blue for home and the colour palette for away is usually white, navy, red & black.

wtf, 16m germans watched the women's world cup group stage game germany vs. france.

The quality of the football in the tournament has actually been very good.

That was quite impressive! Lol at the goalkeeper though

http://ishargreavestillinjured.com/

Poor fella, hope he gets a new club soon - would be a great signing for a lot of Prem teams on a pay per play deal?

(edit) according to SSN Chelsea are making good progress to secure a deal with... Nasri! \o/ \o/

The thing is that he was supposedly fit at one stage last season. He lasted 6 minutes on the pitch. Dicking around in the gym is one thing, but actually being in a competitve match is something else entirely. We saw the same thing with Woodgate at Spurs, he would be declared fit, last a game or two and that would be it for the season (he only managed 20 minutes last season). I suppose a pay as you play might be worth it, but would it be worth giving him a place on the squad list when you could have other players who aren't made of glass?

Sky Sports News are reporting that Gervinho is at Arsenal for a medical.

Won't believe it until I see it on the official site, if you listen to all the rumours his already had his medical three or four times already.

Good. Sneijder can go to United, Nasri to Chelsea, and they can all stay the fuck away from Modric.
 
Michael Emenalo Chelsea's new Sporting Director

From whats been said, he was pretty useless to Carlo when he became his "assistant" and I like that AVB took him away from the first team but to put him as Sporting Director I can only assume is their way of not letting him go but still keeping him at the club.

Inquiry from Chelsea for Nasri as well

Cash plus player? Kalou or Zhirkov touted as possible players, if it would reduce the price by a decent amount then I don't mind although I think Kalou could be a good winger for us this season if we use him there.

Also read that Moutinho wants to stay at Porto, bit disappointed as he could be good for us but it depends who we get instead. Still hoping for Falcao to join Torres up top..
