If we're going to use stats (in all competitions):
Lewandowski in the past year: 30 goals, 10 assists, 43 appearances
Chicharito in the past year: 13 goals, 2 assists, 23 appearances

So were the Angelo Henriquez stories all bullshit then? I highly doubt United would go for Lewandowski. I'd love to have him at United but it would impede the progress of Welbeck and Hernandez.
I'm also slightly concerned that SAF still has it in his mind that Kagawa will be a wide player next season.

Pretty uncivilised of you.
I do have a niggling feeling we're going to stick with 4-4-2. Kagawa can play behind one striker if we're doing 4-4-1-1 I suppose...
Oops, posted this at the bottom of the page. For the new page:
Entry deadline is 5pm GMT if you want to join for the first game of the tournament. Short notice I know, sorry.
Main difference is you get points for pretty much everything that happens:

At that point just put Kagawa at Left Back. Evra replaced.
Wait and see how the Liverpool boa constrictor turns out.
Lol Ruud Van Nistelrooy was much more than a guy who just tapped the ball in from 6 yards, seriously you think otherwise??
You don't have to score brilliant 35 yards screamers to be world class, the point is United already have a guy in Hernandez who is better in the box than Lewandowski, and even tho Hernandez isn't great at passing the ball he still managed a 82.7% passing accuracy in the premier league, which is much higher than Lewandowski managed in the Bundesliga.

Brah, you can't ignore the stat lines. Passing accuracy (as a striker) doesn't mean shit if it doesn't provide your team with some assists.
What a signing he will be
Next year's their year
I think he was a guy that's strengths lay in the penalty box. He's probably my favourite ever player, but a lot of his game was based on back to goal, lay it off and race towards goal.
Hernandez played half the games with half the time on the ball as Lewandowski. Count offside stats. Goals. Assists. Time on the ball.
United already have Rooney, Hernandez & Welbeck. Why buy another expensive striker who is similar but worse than one you already have?
According to - http://www.whoscored.com/Players/29400 Lewandowski's combined passing stats for the season are just 63.2%. His Bundesliga passing stat is 70.6% (which is still very poor compared to most other 'top players') Hernandez who is only considered 'average' at passing has a season average of 86.4% and his premier league average is 82.7%.

Again, ignoring the most important stats for striker. But don't worry guys! We are comparing them as if they were midfielders!!!
Barry probably has one of the best passing rates in the league. He's better than Toure for sure.

Ok, between this and the monkey chants thread, I'm getting off NeoGAF for awhile. Is this what Gaming side is always like? It hasn't even been an hour into my day.

He's trolling man...
I will wait and see what MUFC facebook has to say on the matter.
lewiedogskey is shit fuergus why don yougive cheechareti more time so he can pass ball to erva
In between flicking through the EURO racism thread and doicare's comment my brain is really starting to ache. Oh well, at least we've got football to watch for the next few weeks
Went to see Coldplay at the Stadium of Light last night, I think it says a lot that their flashing wristbands are the best part of that show.
Looks great but yes lol coldplay

It´s starting to get easy to hate everyone at Barcelona, they are becoming a bunch of arrogant bastards.
Paradise is a pretty good song, I'll give Coldplay that. But apart from that, they haven't done anything good since Rush Of Blood To The Head.
Becoming?
Becoming?
WTF happened in these last pages?
Fucking on to the Euro's I don't give a shit about the teams playing today but you can bet I'll be watching.
And if all goes according to plan I should be getting my order from SoccerTriads today as well.
Also anyone read about 007 being at the Olympics opening ceremony as a part of Skyfall. Then after they will show a short film involving Bond in the Queen's castle, apparently they had access to a lot of secret rooms for the film.

We have a first option on Henriquez. Press jumping the gun on a slow news day, alongside the Modric guff. And the Polish manager was just muppetin' and making a point about the growth of certain players, who could play anywhere outside BVB, like Lewandowski.
Didn't Kagawa intimate in an interview that Fergie spoke of his admiration for the way he played in the hole behind the striker? Rooney's been struggling in that position creatively (outside of wide, lofted passes - although the 30+ goals aren't too shabby), with some frustratingly poor first touch, in particular, so: 4-3-3, baby. But even if Fergie gets stubborn about the 4-4-2, Kagawa will do fine drifting in as a winger, even if it would be a waste of his abilities.

I wish I could listen 
I hadn't heard about that but sounds good. Quantum Of Solace was so shite, I want a return to Casino Royale form.
I love Xavi sometimes but he comes across as such a petulant wanker a lot.

One comes past mine every single day no matter what the weather. All the old people around here love it, flock to it in their dressing gowns like some kind of weird zombie film.
Check out the Skyfall thread in OT, by far the best thread in there as it's packed with every possible tidbit of info about the movie. And everyone tags potential spoilers.
Yep, a very meaningless stat when significantly more of Hernandez's appearances have been as a substitute and Lewandowski has started all of those games.
But if you want some more fun stats, over the past two years for club and country:
Hernandez - 110 games, (41) as a sub, 53 goals, 2.08 games played per goal scored
Lewandowski - 99 games, (26) as a sub, 44 goals, 2.25 games per played goal scored
Hernandez>Lewandowski
Try looking up

Yeah, winning the Copa Del Rey gives you that right. We all know that´s the big thing in football right now.

What you just listed didn't prove your point at all actually. Also, you left out assists which are an important piece to the puzzle. I did look it up you fucking moron.
But losing Owen to injuries blew your title chances?

What do I need to do to get this done? I'm so sick of this little child. He comes in here every time with nothing but a snively tone like a 4 year old who just broke his McDonald's Happy Meal toy. He epitomizes why I hate the internet.
Man, Japan ran rampant over Jordan tonight. What a game that was.
They've become so fluid and effective since Zaccheroni took over as manager. I understand he'll want to move on at some point, but not yet, please. Japan has been so great under him - scoring lots of goals, nice passing, teamwork, etc.

I knew about the first option clause but was just wondering where the media got their info from. It does seems that they've jumped the gun a bit.
4-3-3 would probably be the best formation to use I agree.
4-2-3-1 as a variation of this. Buy a deep lying midfielder and play him alongside Carrick, with Shinji, Nani and Valencia behind Rooney
Kagawa said that's where Ferguson planned to play him, behind the striker.
Deliberately missing the point isn't really helping the argument.
I don't really have any particular like for Barcelona but it's understandable why some of them would be arrogant. Success breeds arrogance and this Barcelona side are one of the most successful of all time.

I think what upsets me most is that someone posting on an internet forum is making me legitimately frustrated, and I can't use the ignore function because I end up reading the posts anyways because I don't have the willpower to not read what's under the lid.
Fuck me.
Fuck me.
