Cesc would be more suited to the CM role imo. He showed how good he was when he played as a CM for Arsenal. No point in playing him alongside Kagawa when he could infinitely improve Uniteds midfield.

A 3 man midfield of Carrick, Cesc, and a healthy Fletcher would be brilliant imo. This is all in the realms of fantasy of course. I can't see Barca letting him go after the 3 years they spent getting him back.

Cocktease with the transfer window closing last week.

I've waited 5 years for this. I can wait a little longer.

Messi was asked about the Ronaldo situation, he said:

That's something Ronaldo said, there's no reason to ask me about what he says and vice-versa. It's nothing to do with me. I do not have to answer questions about that.

It must get annoying for Messi and Ronaldo to be asked questions about each other daily. I don't know what they expect them to say that would be worthy of making the news.

What? Somebody asked Messi what he thought about Ronaldo being sad?! Must have been somebody from Goal.com.

Fabregas is exactly what Manchester United don't need in the midfield. They need a Sergio Busquets, not a Cesc.

Del Piero deal to Sydney is not yet completed. Very good chance it will be soon though. Talks ongoing this morning. #foxfootball

Daniel Garb ‏@DanielGarb
Still no Sydney deal for Del Piero. Liverpool's last minute offer the problem. Details from Turin coming on @FOXSPORTS_NEWS

Daniel Garb ‏@DanielGarb
Patience is being tested but it still seems they're the front runner. Lure of #LFC an issue though. Talks resume again tomorrow

Daniel Garb ‏@DanielGarb
Don't doubt terms have been agreed. But deal not yet finalised, no contract signed. Hopefully it is tonight or tomorrow

Still hope! (?)

We need both.

 

[dc89]

I heard a rumour that Cesc is looking to return to England to play for a top team.

What do you think Viva?

Well I guess we better prep a third Welcome To Manchester poster.

As long as they leave our midfield alone...

I graduated 2 months ago from my college school, got a BBA (Bachelor of business administration) degree and now I've come to the conclusion there are literally no jobs available here (50km radius).

I'm sort of getting pushed to go and live in the 'west' (Amsterdam/Rotterdam) this way.

fuck this shit

Yaya or Vidal would be my pick if I could take any CM.

 

[Clegg]

SAF doesn't like using defensive midfielders.

Hargreaves was a DM but was used much more a a central midfielder. United could definitely use a good DM but Fergie probably wouldn't play him there.

We need a Dembele/Schweinsteiger/Yaya type. Someone who can pick the ball up a run through the middle. Carrick is similar to Busquets.

What about Cleverly? He plays in the same position as Cesc.

Yes.

So, an older Pogba.

He's too busy with his friends and his brazilian music while driving his big ass volkswagen all the time =P

 

[Vivalaraza]

Yeah but he's crap.

 

[Clegg]

IMO United need two signings for their midfield.

1)A box to box midfielder that isn't afraid to tackle, 2) a passing CM that can thread balls through to our forwards.

A healthy Fletcher would fulfill the first role. Someone like Cesc would fulfill the second role perfectly.

Cleverley isn't good enough to the sort of player that United need.

For those who've ordered through kitbag, how long does it usually take to get a package delivered with the normal delivery method? These are kits with prints on them.

5-10 business days, so around 2 normal weeks from processing.

One of Messi's best attributes is he doesnt talk shite, in fact doesnt say much at all. I like that. I hope he never turns into a Maradona or Pele giving their bollox opinion about everything.

I've played with Sydney FC for a whole season in FIFA manager mode.

Would not recommend.

Agree, this summer we've dealt with the other problem areas in the team but a DM is needed next season.

Would love to get Sandro, it seems like it could happen.

The man just loves Football. Truly the best in the world.

However I can sympathise with Cristiano a little.

Why? Didn't Kermit say A-League is a superior to Serie A? Del Piero has finally moved up a step in his career.

I'm sure you can download the XFM shows for free from a website, not iTunes. They're certainly the best thing Karl's on. Takes about 10 episodes for him to start featuring but its worth listening to anyway just for the discovery of him.

 

[rodvik]

I can sympathise a tiny amount as well, but he really doesnt do himself any favours. he should take a page from Messis book, just STFU and play the game.

 

[Milchmonster]

Hahaha, I fucking love Facebook at times.

Andre Schürrle posts: "Friday starts the WC qualifiers. Are you as excited as me for the two matches?"

First answer is so fucking perfect: "No, not at all"
Most of the other answers are something like: "Fuck the international breaks", "The season just started, the fuck is this" and "Start playing good for Leverkusen first, then you can talk about the national team".

Faith in the world restored.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Yeah weird that FIFA still decided to rate all the players in the A-League like they're toddlers. You're better off with a goalkeepers only team.

I'm fairly certain you would have to torrent the XFM shows because they weren't released like the Ricky Gervais show was.

Download the 'best of' XFM shows off Itunes. Pretty cheap for hours and hours of material. Then go through the podcasts and audiobooks, again only place to get them is Itunes (I think).

 

[clemenx]

Good lord. I need to move to the UK. Football talk as reached rock bottom around here. Who the fuck cares if Ronaldo is sad? And tv discussing it seriously? gtfo.

I yearn for the day when La Liga becomes irrelevant. Shit league.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

They were, then the geniuses at XFM had their lawyers take them all down from everywhere they could reach without even putting them behind an official paywall, making them impossible to legally own

Oh really? I must have gotten lucky then, bought 6 hours worth of XFM material off Itunes for about 6 quid a couple of years ago!

Bollocks to the Best Ofs, all of it is gold and deserves better than to be edited into 'Karl's stupidest moments'

I agree, but players like Cristiano are fun. They bring a little controversy and are a little anti-status quo. I like that quality. Shows he's hungry to be the best.

I'm glad Messi isn't into that though or we'd have Tupac vs Biggie all over again.

how much of that did porto get, though? because i don't think they fully own their players; there always seems to be some invest company who owns a certain percentage of the rights.

 

[RaGe_pt]

He's the man responsible. Our president for 30 years and still counting! Hopefully he'll be in charge for a few more years!

U mad kenka? XD

Just saw a tv spot for the new season of Walking Dead. Should I catch up? Is it worth watching te second half of s2?

 

[Clegg]

Porto need to sell a big name player in order to make a profit for the year. They have loads of players on their books, TV revenue and matchday revenue is relatively low too.

Its actually a very dangerous financial model that Porto have adopted. You can see how much money Porto would lose every year if it wasn't for player sales.

Yes. I enjoyed all of it though, so my opinion of the programme is not in line with most
