Hmm. I'll go solo for a while and try and convince my brother to buy it as well
edit - Jesus, how hard can it be to integrate DLC into the main game for GotY editions?

But we already have two deep-lying playmakers, both are much better than Adam.

Many more reports tonight that we really have bid for Lucas, from Brazil and the UK.
Jeez. This is madness. Why on earth are we even thinking of paying so much money for a kid as unproven as he is.
If we have that money I just don't get why it won't be spent in CM. It can't be true, Fergie is losing it otherwise.

Can we start calling him Moura please? I keep shitting myself fearing that Lucas Leiva might move to Man Utd

I doubt they'll have just watched youtube videos of him. I imagine they've been watching him for a while and scouted him.
Almost £26m?
I find it funny that they rejected Chelsea last season when they bid £32m or so :lol
Anyway, £26m is still far too much for an unproven kid.
My source says 33m.

I'm sure they have. But he isn't a CM player. He's very much an AM playing wide or centrally, basically a position where we have most depth.
I really don't understand why if we have £25m...we would spend it there, when there are much more urgent needs at LB/CM.
Anyhow he looks like a great talent but I just don't understand what our strategy is this summer. Seems confused.
Apparently the 26m has been rejected from Sao Paulo. Would be a good buy but can't see it happening.
Real Madrid are said to have bid too.
Think fergie's looking to build a young team and having Lucas in the squad and buyIng him now when he'll probably cost less than in the future is a good move. There's no idea of whether Nani is staying and he could come in for Any of the attacking Players when needed.

Moura could just be that second "maybe" signing Fergie's not really counting on. A talent he thinks he can't miss the chance of signing, if he's about to be plucked. Like how he mentioned buying Jones was triggered earlier than he expected due to other clubs circling.
That's what I'm thinking if we do go for him, United may see him as having the potential of being too big to pass up.
There's only one Lucas you noobs.
Piazon!
He better get some game time this season!
Yes please. He needs to convince his mate Oscar to come to Chelsea as well.
That might cover a lock of his hair.
Hopefully the large Brazilian/Portugese contingent of the team will help to convince him.
I wore a pretty plain striped white shirt under my robes for my first time, and as I walked off stage some old prick in the crowd said
Wait till they see me in my naughty shorts and tank top.
I've seen that, it's quality. Pretty naughty.
They aren't half. I sometimes roll them right up when the sun's out. Might do it tomorrow to counteract this vitamin D deficiency. Might just fucking lie in my yard and take them off.
Here's Borini's first interview for those that want to hear this sexy bastard speak.

He's a winger dummy.
He is a striker....
He'll play on the right, at the head of a 4-3-3, but he certainly isn't a winger.

He's a forward

Not to say BR's unwilling to adapt, but I thought he traditionally used pace and skill types on the wing (something I'm a big fan of by the by). Also seems a... dilution of Borini's talents putting him there.
I think our forwards will be very fluid, and we'll rely on advanced wingbacks in Johnson and Enrique to provide rigid width. I expect Borini to loiter in the right hand side of the penalty box, and he scored a couple of great goals from that position for Roma. To also answer your point, he isn't exceptionally quick; he's not slow, but he certainly isn't know for his sprinting.
Pace and skill on the wing? Hope Liverpool are still willing to buy English because we've got this really pacey winger... scored a hat trick against Croatia once, so you know he's class........

We've never really been able to get our fast players in positions to use their pace, which has been an annoyance for the last 5+ years. You lot have always got the likes of Valencia and Nani into positions where they can get into a footrace with their opposite number. Seems like we've only been able to do that on the counter.
Think its mainly because we've been abysmal for the last 8 years at drawing teams out when they sit back against us. Swansea were always afforded enough space on the wings for Dyer and Sinclair to stretch their legs. I don't think that'll be a luxury afforded to us, especially at Anfield.

He's been linked a few times to Everton since he grew up an Everton fan due to his father.

Everton can piss off, they've had their quasi-annual moment in the sun. Back to the shade with them

Really? Man that collar looks dodgy. Like the washed out crest though.

I don't think Carroll goes anywhere unless good value comes back. Plus, I'd like to see him play under a manager who has a sense for tactics.

I thought last seasons City home shirt had the most horrendous collar I'd ever seen, it grew on me and now I think it looks top. The high collar on the MUFC shirt sort of reminds me of it. Looks really well in my opinion.

Yeah seen them, similar to the home shirt design only black . To be honest, I thought the home kit was really bad too, which it is when you see people wearing it casually, but as kit modelled by the players, I think it looks fairly decent. Love that away kit though.

Man catching up on this thread has been depressing....hope everyone with bad news recently gets better news soon!

Chelsea had some nice home kits in the last few years, not feeling the new one though. Last seasons and the year before were lovely.
