Fuck me that new heatwave thread (about the bullshit 760 dead number) is infuriating. I'd definitely get banned if I posted in there.

OH THANK YOU GENIUS AMERICANS FOR DISPENSING YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF AIR CONDITIONING TO US LOWLY ENGLISH FOLK.

Fucking dickheads.

I tend to stay out of any thread with UK in the title in OT. It's usually full of Americans trying to force how much better they/their nation are on the thread. So desperate.

Chadli's agent says he'll sign for us after a medical today.

That's a really good deal. Spurs got some scary depth now. Might be a bit light in midfield if Parker and Huddlestone leave though and they need need NEED a striker.

Lloris/Friedel
Walker/Naughton
Kaboul/Caulker
Vertonghen/Dawson
Ekotto/Rose
Sandro/Parker
Paulinho/Carroll
Dembele/Holtby
Bale/Sigurdsson
Adebayor/Defoe
Lennon/Chadli

€35m, lol.

So that's €35m for Higuain, €12m for Albiol and €10 for Callejon. (57M)

Uhh..so why not swap all of them for Cavani then? But it's too late for that now.



You disowned your fourth team Parma?
I don't have any ranking system among my teams. I was refering to the racist section of Serie A, basically Milan, Inter, Juve, Lazio/Roma fans....mostly the last two ones. But Juve-GAF is cool, but your team is shit so give back Buffon (and sell Pirlo to us, he's old).

There is no 'racist' section of Serie A. The clubs mentioned, apart from Lazio, are not demonstrably or systematically more racist than any other Italian clubs. They just have bigger fanbases and more cameras trained on them, so the racist minority of their fans is larger and more visible than the racist minority at other clubs.

Deportivo just announced a pre-season friendly against Real Madrid. Looks like it's not enough for us to be humilliated during the season...

The Times say Rooney will hand in a transfer request soon but United will make Chelsea wait until the end of the window before selling him.

They also say its unlikely that Fabregas will sign for us.

I'm just trying to fuck around with Yurt :p But you're right, bigger fanbase, more attention and more stories. Shame they get the spotlight and ruin it for everyone else.

Doesn't that end up doing more damage to you?
Not really.

We're not dependent on any Rooney transfer fee so we can keep him until the end of the window and then sell. That deprives Chelsea of him for their first few games too.

It would be smart business on United's part.

Also means Chelsea might go for somebody else in the mean time I suppose and see if anyone from abroad comes in with a bid for him.

Chelsea probably won't spend 50mill again after that Torres saga.

40mill is good enough, just buy Modric/Cabaye/Fellaini.

I don't think so, as Chelsea don't have a top class striker, and United are holding the cards in regards to Rooney.

But doesn't it make it so United are left with very little time to find any sort of replacement?

Speaking of Chelsea, they're playing against Malaysian XI in about an hour.

Do they need a replacement? They are looking for midfielders, and Kagawa can play in his position.

I wanted a replacement but there isn't anyone anymore. James would have been perfect as he can play on the left.

Well, at least the retards amongst our (otherwise very well behaved, compared to scum like Napoli and Roma) fans won't be able to chant "there are no black italians" this year, thanks to Ogbonnator.

Tbh I don't think there's anyone else they can get. Cavani and Falcao have just signed for new clubs and Lewandowski seems dead set on signing for Bayern.

That leaves Benzema, Higuain, Rooney and Suarez. Madrid would demand a similar fee to what Rooney would go for but Rooney is better than both. That just leaves Suarez. I'm actually surprised that Chelsea haven't been more seriously linked to him.

Replacement for Rooney?

I don't think the club is that set on looking for one tbh. We're after central midfielders this summer.

And in attacking positions we have RVP and Kagawa who can both do the job Rooney can do. I don't think replacing Rooney would be high on the agenda this summer.

They'll miss his goals, definitely.
We've already replaced his goals though. Van Persie is the main striker for us now so Rooney plays a more withdrawn role.

Last season he scored 12 in the league, which is still pretty good for an attacking midfielder but he wasn't happy because he wasn't the man leading the attacking line.

I don't think its possible for Rooney and RVP to both score 20+ league goals in the same team. They'd take up each others space too often.

The whole problem with Rooney is that he isn't the main man any more.

Splatt, we'll need a new *ić to replace Vucinić and fill the hole left by Jovetić in a year or two. Any new prospects down there?

Why are you guys PMing it? Just post it here. :p

-

losing Jovetic was an Elkann-Della Valle issue not an economic or Marotta one. John Elkann even apologized to Marotta

Fucking Elkann and his brother, what good are they?

The club would be dumb if they don't look for one. The club needs another attacking midfielder that can operate from the left. If Nani finds his form it won't be a problem, but if Nani struggles like last season, then United will only have Young and shit Nani.
