He's calling Eriksen a striker? He plays in the same position as Kagawa doesn't he?

Yeah he's really not a striker at all.

Would be lovely. Could stand to lose Chicha as much as I like him.

He played most games in Barca, even more than even Valdes in 2010/11 (mostly off the bench, started 23 tims). As for last season, it was the same scenario, mainly being subbed in. Started in 17 games I think.
Let them have him. He's not a wonder kid or anything. Good price but we'd never get him since he wants first team football.
More competition for Kagawa then, no thanks.
We need someone in the Vidal mould.
He also called Kagawa a striker.
And I'm just after seeing this on Uniteds official site.
Chicharitos Treble Dream
I know this is probably just a fluff piece but he doesn't sound too unhappy at United.
Frankly, I don't know who is world class and who isn't, or what even makes a player world class these days. But if you rate Chiellini as such, then you cannot not rate Marchisio the same way. He's every bit as good as Chiellini, albeit in a different role, obviously. Same goes for Vidal. I guess the upcoming CL will clarify some of that.
I was joking. I think. I just can't shake that YouTube video from my mind. No doubt the least impressive goals video I've ever seen.
I want another striker. Don't care who now. They would be third choice no matter what anyway. Get me Francis Jeffers.
I honestly have no idea who we can get. Everyone wants first team football nowadays. Unless they suck and know they can't be first team players.
World class is a very loose term. People are still debating if players like Nani and Tevez are WC, let alone players you know very little about.
See? That's what I mean!
You're gonna hate him elsk. He makes Gomez look like Gerd Müller.

I'll break it down, it goes:
Messi-class.
Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi-class
World-class
Rest.
Seriously though, I dont know why this world class discussion seems to always come up lol.
I think that's a fair price to be honest, he was great last season.
World class when I was growing up was a term used to describe players who were arguably in the top three or five in their position in the world. As far as CB's go I rate Chiellini pretty highly so to call him world class is fair in my opinion.
Like you say the upcoming Champions League campaign will provide a lot of answers about Juventus and I loom forward to seeing them in action.
So has Anderson.
A guy from Latin America ESPN said Arsenal could be interested in him.
gabriel milito won it twice.

I've had to call him out on it. He deleted the Llorente tweet, can't let him get away with it :lol
You guys were rumoured to be in for him at one point no?
well, for the record, i do think tevez is a great player, just not world class.
not a fan of nani, though.
Not sure if the end part of your post is a sly dig at me but I've been watching Italian football for nearly 15 years after I adopted AC Milan as my second favourite club behind Liverpool when I was in my mid teens. Sadly the days of believing Taribo West was a tank because of his hair have well gone as have the days of Zvonimir Boban.
Yeah. I'd still take him for £6m tbh. He looked decent in the PL when Blackpool were up, only got a few games but he played against us and looked fantastic. And he had a good season last year too.
Thank fuck the RVP saga is over. Happy to see United spend money in a position that they really don't need to. I'm probably wrong in this but I don't really see RVP making that big a difference to United's title challenge, but it will help them with juggling the multiple competitions.
It'll be gag worthy when he comes out an says how important Arsenal was to him and that he'll "always be a gunner." When you switch from one title-challenging team to another in the same league, that is the height of betrayal and he is in no position to try and endear himself to fans after the way he's behaved.

Fair enough. Playing in CL will be a new experience for a lot of our players, who knows how they'll react. Wish we would land in a soft group to get things started properly, however it's much more likely that we'll end up in a group of death. :/
Taribo West was well into his fifties when he retired. True story.
Cue United fans saying we are not rivals.

Lee Ryder :lol :lol
LOOL omg I am cracking up. This is so funny hahaha.
That guy is such a pleb lol
He's even more gullible than I am! haha
We came 3rd last season ffs. The way people in here talk you'd think we were in league 2
Doesn't Dos Santos have about total 55 club appearances beside his Barcelona days? Still gets picked and plays regularly for the Mexico side, even played in the Olympics.
I think Chicharito will be fine, 2 years is a long time.
What ever happened to Gyan? Didn't he get loaned to some club in the middle east in the middle of the season?

Are we really still pretending Arsenal to be title challengers? It's been over 7 years and Arsenal has time after time shown how unambitious they are.
It was mathematically possible for Newcastle to get 3rd on the last day of the season yet everyone says we're mid-table trash that should be doing David Moyes' laundry.
