Well, isn't it obvious? He's a marked man.
Only Berba knows.
He's been pretty crappy for Fulham this year, hasn't he? He's only got 4 goals. Hardly seems like a solution, even taking into account how poor Fulham have been

lol, Berba.
open the wallet and buy a striker.

It would only be until the end of the season and is only rumor. Any decent strikers available?
Dearest Salvadora Tonks is on record saying he "would take Hernandez".

He'll have had piss poor service though. Who in their midfield is even capable of supplying a striker on a consistent basis?
I wouldn't be overawed with signing Berbatov, but at the same time I wouldn't complain. He's an intelligent footballer, can link play well, great touch, knows where the goal is, can pick a pass, has PL and CL experience (and isn't cup tied). Has a lot of attributes that Wenger looks for in a player. What would concern me however would be his lack of work rate as our current style of play relies on us using the front man as a link player through the middle phase of the pitch. I'm not convinced he will move into pockets of space and hold the ball up the way that Giroud does and Bendtner did when he came on yesterday. How we would compensate for that I don't know...
Basically if we can do the deal quickly and for not too much money he'd be a decent stop-gap option for us.
I would take Hernandez too but there is no chance United will sell him to us.
what happened to him? he had so much potential when united first signed him and now he's just warming the bench

Would be a terrible striker for our system. May as we'll stick theo up front if we are looking to buy someone like him.
As for him not getting a run - well, we bought Robin. And Welberg is The Project.
Chicha might have had more of a chance - during the opportunities he gets - if the standard of crossing was consistent/acceptable. There's not much you can do when the cross is basically a lateral shot from one side and floaty shit (a lot of the time) from the other. He doesn't have the physical dominance to readily capitalise on what is essentially a kind of zonal crossing.

It happened months ago
When Fergie had to go
Hand picked David Moyes
To take care of his boys
But anyone could predict
Moyes turned out to be shit
Put United far from the throne
All supporters do now is moan
Welcome to mid-table, United
Your new permanent spot
Alongside Newcastle and Hull
In mid-table hell you rot
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
That is great!
I'd be shocked if Madrid loan out Morata without buying a big name striker first. No way they're going through the 2nd half of the season with only Benzema up front.
This is great.

This was so good
Flag only went up when he touched the ball so the ref couldn't book him.
And then he spat on himself

Yeah. He has decided to leave Milan at the end of this year, regardless of how we would perform, back in June 2013. Basically, this season was fucked up even before the summer transfer window opened.
Remember when Nasri had his famous MIA games 2 years ago and people wouldn't realize he was on the pitch before his number was shown in red as he got subbed off? Cleverley had one of those games last night.

OT12| Baron Moyes
wat
I get that we have injuries but once Vertonghen is back Lescott would never play. Even if we assume Kaboul never gets fit again he'd barely be involved.
After a month he'd be playing even less than he does at City. He's also shit. Ryan Nelsen was at least a quality defender when we brought him in on loan.

Still no Lewy to Bayern announced?
Oh, they joy of talking to Lewy's agents...

He can play LB too (rarely did at City though) so maybe he'll be used as cover on both positions. You'd have to pay his salary though, ~90k. His contract is up this summer so he can turn out to be a cheap transfer for you.
Maybe Sherwood has no faith in Dawson, or something? Lescott has certainly played at higher levels than Dawson has ever managed. With Kaboul's injury problems I would reckon that Lescott and Vertonghen would be Tottenham's first choice pairing.
He's on crazy wages though (~£110k) and will turn 33 in a few weeks, the contract ends this summer. Before December he had scored 1 goal in 11 matches too... maybe Fulham will find someone for a couple million more that can do more.
If he takes a wage cut it could be a good deal, he would really suit Arsenal's style of football.

That's not fair. Some players get yellows for dives, and others don't. Rooney had a dive against Hull and didn't get a yellow. Welbeck had a dive against you guys and didn't see a yellow. Januzaj didn't even dive yesterday, but got a yellow.
Rose wasn't even playing the ball.
