Welp.

Spent more but not net spend.

No one (except for Viva) thought either of them would make it for this game.

Didn't think either would. Sit back, eat an upsetting amount of biscuits, hope for magic.

Pazzini has sustained a muscular injury. He will undergo further examinations in 8-10 days time to determine the extent of his injury.

 

[Barzul]

Man I'm really hoping United get something out of this game.

 

[flabberghastly]

it would devalue the league to sub-Serie A levels.

Yet still several notches above Primeira.

[Shatner's Bassoon]

All United need to do is put Chelsea kryptonite Hernandez on.

 

[Salvadora]

I've always believed in you, Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah "Danny" Welbeck.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Torres will bag a hattrick and De Gea will get sent off.

You can just call him Dat Guy.

Hope he takes some shots. No point being in form if you're always looking out for the square ball to Tclevz.

 

[Zabojnik]

With Roma's overall decline in form over the last couple months ...

Dunno, looks like they've recovered nicely in the last couple of weeks + Totti is back. Anyway, Coppa Italia to you, EL to us. Deal? As long as Roma finish the season with zero tituli.

He's German, it's pronounced "Hans"

German humour.

We're being linked to Vucinic. Hope Wenger doesn't do a permanent deal, he just becomes the new Bendtner.

Anyway, I think we can agree the team that spent 40 million plus on one of the world's top midfield players is probably not the Cinderella story of the league this year.

 

[Zabojnik]

Probably DCing, Neymar is out for 3-4 weeks.

We're being linked to Vucinic. Hope Wenger doesn't do a permanent deal, he just becomes the new Bendtner.

This gif sums up perfectly how I'd feel about Vucinic leaving.

He's 30, no chance you'll get him on loan. Neither party will agree to it.

edit:

Arsenal's offer was a loan till the end of the season which was rejected by the player's entourage (SKY)

 

[sohois]

everton have some £50million worth of players on loan this season so i certainly wouldn't call it a Cinderella story

Spurs then. Riding the wave of Tim Sherwoods 'simple' football.

 

[omgkitty]

Oh man on the new Arsecast, he blames Agbonlahor's inability to grow a mustache for the fact that he cracked Rosicky across the face. So good.

 

[sohois]

spurs this season are no different from the joke oil clubs. they're all being funded by idiot individuals, spurs is just more indirect

 

[Linius]

If I were to believe Tuttosport Seedorf wants to buy half our XI for Milan :lol

 

[Ashes]

Valencia would get himself sent off grabbing onto Hazard or Oscar or whatnot. You can be as quick as you like, but fullback is about reacting properly when someone goes round you. And they will go round you. Valencia can't do it. Rafael, bless the short-fused little sod, is getting better at it.

Good chance of Torres getting himself booked/sent, too. Irrespective of the result - he'll be a moody, petulant asshole.

Oh yeah. Forgot about Torres have Vidic in his pocket. Torres has lost loads of pace but still frightens vidic. Should be an interesting battle if Torres starts.

Truth be told, my biggest worry would be our left back. And our seemingly inability to get shots on goal. Though this one time, that's a plus - nobody gets a lot of shots on goal versus Chelsea. Time for Kagawa to announce him self to the premier league.

and...so we are back to Liverpool

EDIT:
No Rooney or Van Persie = UTD loss

They just *somehow* got one of the best strikers in the league on loan. Call me cynical but what city do with Adebayer and now Chelsea with Lukaku is grossly unfair. Bolstering sides just outside the top four to trip up everyone else. boo!

 

[Yurt]

WHY are they doing this?

Marotta &#8220;I believe that Morata is unreachable, but we have never spoken with Real Madrid. He is one of those players that will become a champion and so is generating great interest.&#8221;

Another name regularly making the gossip columns is Pogba, who has been paired with interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

&#8220;We know his value and we are not going to sell him anyway. So far there have not been any requests from Paris Saint-Germain.&#8221;

oh and Antonio Candreva is great, LiverpoolGAF. 9m sounds like a fucking bargain!

 

[Hixx]

How can Man Utd have a stonking 2nd half of a season and finish 5th?
United tend to have strong second halfs. Well, more often than not. If it is the case that we do pretty well, I'd feel sorry for whoever we knock out of the top four.

i thought man united were like 8th atm

in that case they can carry on in their mediocrity

does it really matter

no

enjoy the europa league

Apparently Di Fanti has been sacked. Daily Mail 'exclusive'. Idk. Don't really care. Another fuck up by Mr. Short.

Cortese pls

edit: What even is Cortese

I wonder if the link is real then. Pretty encouraging if he has your endorsement because you're typically harsh on Serie A players.

We wuz linked with Candreva a while back

 

[Hixx]

lol De Fanti has indeed been sacked.

Short's having a blinder of a couple of years. Jesus wept.

 

[GorillaJu]

Also read in the Telegraph that we're tightening the purse strings a bit in this window, but Rodgers may be given the go ahead to pay what we have to for Salah.

 

[Zabojnik]

Candreva gets my vote as well. Very versatile player, technically educated and at the peak of his career. Don't know how he'd work as a bench/reserve player though.

If I were to believe Tuttosport Seedorf wants to buy half our XI for Milan :lol

It's Tuttosport, so why wouldn't you? Half of Ajax XI, sogno possibile.

I think anyone wide player we bring in is likely to go straight into our first XI to allow Coutinho to play more centrally.

What would your starting XI look like with Candreva?

If we brought in a 26 year old, it'd be to start every game. Right now Sterling has been playing there, and while he's been good, he's still too raw to be starting every week. I like him a lot, he's been playing well especially in upping his work rate and pressing/hassling, but still not quite the level of a week-in, week-out starter.

 

[FootballFan]

Who picked their clothes, Pep?

 

[sohois]

candreva wouldn't start. hence this news seems like a non starter. Stirling has been too impressive, and if you take him out there is Coutinho. it would simply be a waste

 

[FootballFan]

looks like they're wearing the same clothes. #twins

as identical as Arnie Schwartzenegger and Danny DeVito

Sterling has been playing great considering his age, but I was actually more impressed by Ibe(even though he featured 2 or 3 times in the 1st team).

Seems more composed and rational with the ball, unlike Sterling who turns into a bit of headless chicken whenever he's in front of the goal.

Shame Rodgers insists on using Moses for whatever reason.

 

[flabberghastly]

Put them in a truly difficult game, like against Juve earlier this month, and Roma doesn't really look like that special of a team - Totti or no Totti. I thought they might be onto something after they thumped us earlier this season, but I haven't been so convinced lately. They have a fair shot at the Coppa, especially if Juve fields their B squad, but I don't think they'll be a genuine contender for the scudetto.

Switch that deal around, and I'll take it. Or better yet, if you all just want to lay down your swords in both tournaments, I'd be willing to let Juve have the scudetto, take the EL for ourselves, and give Siena the Coppa.

 

[Zabojnik]

Yeah, that's why I'm asking. Liverpool seem covered in that sector. Bringing in Candreva would probably undermine Coutz's and Sterling's confidence. Candreva, as good as I think he is, isn't necessarily better than either and that's without taking into account the time he'd need to get accustomed to the league, etc. If Liverpool wanted to deepen the squad though, buying Candreva would make sense. Although I really don't see him as a bench player. Not now that he's finally matured and so close to the WC.
