They can be all the legends they want but I would give a talented kid priority over two old retiring guys. Specially over Giggs.

That old man is seriously depressing.
Ok, I didn't watched the scene so I didn't really know what happened, better this way anyway, I hope he can do really well this year.
Agree with you, a solid game, but let's not put too much weight and pressure on him, he's still really young and he can still improve.
Best midfield in the world.
Yeah, I know, after Barcellona

Think it was other guys.
To be honest it wasn't a bad decision playing the experienced heads at the end of the season when you're trying to win a title. There's certainly an argument for playing Pogba from the very start, we should have done that. However when the situation is 1-1 at Norwich in the 90th minute and we need a goal to score, I would have rather had Giggs on there than Pogba. And Giggs came up with the goal.
Scholes wasn't our problem last year, played very well to be honest. Apart from Blackburn, Wigan and Everton (and City of course), we were incredibly consistent from the 6-1 onwards.
I really wish we'd kept Pogba... but it was clear he was being primed for this season.
He definitely said guy, assuming he meant guys but it still made me laugh.

Marrone was good tonight, too. Poor kid has had to learn how to be a ball-playing central defender at short notice, but his pass for Vidal's goal was superb.
Edit: It says something about Italian football's treatment of youth when I call 22 year-old Marrone 'kid'.

Only seen that one minute clip of Arsenals game on MOTD2 but Cazorla looked very dangerous.
He's such a magnificent player. I guarantee every Arsenal fan falls in love with him this season, he's so good.
I think I read something about it the other day.
Well yeah, The Addams Family was canceled by ABC. He's outta work!

He was brilliant! So in the end, Conte figured out a way to keep him with us
He looked amazing the whole match. The shining beacon in an underwhelming Arsenal side.
I fell in love from the start.

The stoke style that they had last season looks better, tbh. The thin stripes are shit. Hope they can keep this up for the rest of the season, they should be able to stay up fairly easily then.
Yeah I like that kit. Hixx was posting some old Mackem ones I liked as well.
Said he was injured on MOTD

I think I'm in the minority that actually likes our home kit.
Shit. Thanks!
I like the away kit but I'm really not feeling the home. Looks good on Kagawa though, the sexy beast.

Rumours (Twitter) that Kaka has been offered to United on a season-long loan!

Man so excited for tmrw.
Only caught the first half of Liverpool vs WBA so far and that's it. Needed to see more football.
Is Sahin to Arsenal pretty much done then? Has that Duncan Jenkins quit Twitter now?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Kagawa looks awesome in the home kit. For some reason, he just fits in it.
Yeah I can't wait. Annoyed its at night, got to wait all day. Hope Kagawa gets to play behind strikers as opposed to borked out on the wing.
The reported buy-out clause makes me very excited.
Those Twitter quotes about Pogba
If we were offered him I'd take him, as long as it was only a loan.

Watching it at my gf's since I don't get the channel here in my house. She's excited too. Lol
No doubt, I'd imagine any loan deal would still see Madrid contribute towards them.

I heard its a first option and not a clause to buy. Which is still good, but I doubt Real will sell tbh. Still a good catch regardless.
Nah. It's a body too much. Plus crazy wages.

Because fucking why not, right?
lol I'd rather play with 10 men than have George McCartney back.
If there's any more dream transfers I'm hoping for it's M'Vila.
Kaka is on something like £250k a week at Madrid, something United would never pay.
Any loan deal I'd imagine would see both clubs contribute.

I know but we'd pay at least half. Why pay £100k a week to somebody who we really don't need at all and somebody who has no future at the club.
Totally pointless. And we don't even know how good he is these days.
now I really want to play Goldeneye

Most influential probably, I've had more fun with other games though.
His form is suspect as is his fitness which will probably see this rumoured deal not happen if there is any truth in it at all.
It is a lot of money and he's not really what we need but part of me would be tempted to take the risk for the season.
Hence why I'd only take him on a loan, not a permanent transfer.
"Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has also enquired about Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov, 31, and is considering a loan move for Tottenham's Danny Rose, 22."
......
Saw that Berbatov rumour reported in the Daily Mail in their Kaka article, can't imagine Berba there but stranger transfers have happened.

Bid half of what you bid for Fletcher and he's yours."Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has also enquired about Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov, 31, and is considering a loan move for Tottenham's Danny Rose, 22."
