Who needs new players when you have Constant, Mexes, Muntari
actually didn't play too bad to finish the season but still
and Birsa?

For real though..I hope Kaka decides to leave. Maybe Abate will have a good World Cup and we can cash in on him to get a decent LB or CB. Abate really isn't that good..just fast but then again he got burned by Mesbah..

How are the KFC's over in England?

I honestly never go to KFC's here because of how dirty and god awful the quality control is.

Surprisingly, United may enjoy more success in bringing in one of Arturo Vidal from Juventus or Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas. While there is a belief that the Chilean midfielder can be secured relatively cheaply in relation to his standing, Barca may also be "open-minded" about offers for Fabregas.

They are alright, I'm not a massive fan of the chicken (like the pieces in the bucket) from KFC I prefer the burgers and hot wings.

Why do you want Kaka to leave? I'm yet to see him live.

The rest of Delaney's article basically gives this impression:

Shaw: Confident
Kroos: Confident
Hummels: No
Reus: No
Vidal: Ehh
Fabregas: Maybe

Definitely "aiming" high, I guess.

Would be mad if Nani was a starter - 22 league games in 2 years.

United will get Shaw alone out of these players. Why the fuck would Kroos go to a non-Champions League team, and play alongside Cleverly in midfield, when he can literally point at any club on the planet, and they would want him. Same goes for Fabregas.

Kaka should stay at least for another season. Playing once a week is not that bad for a 32 yo player.

This is all dependant on how much you spend.

£200m slurged and finishing fourth can not be considered a success.

Because United are a bigger club than pretty much any other club on the planet. Speaking as a neutral Leyton Orient fan, why would anyone want to sign for Liverpool or Arsenal (for example, but the examples are numerous) over the mighty Manchester United simply because they've got the honour of being knocked out in the Champions League once again. Last season was just a mere blip in United's wondrous history. The glory days will be coming back under Van Gaal and the top talents in Europe know that.

Khaldoon promises 'a very pleasant surprise' when New York City signings announced. #mcfc

Strong stuff from Khaldoon including what could be interpreted as a pop at United's owners.

1/2 Khaldoon: "We have zero debt. We don't pay a penny to service any debt. For me that's a sustainable model."

2/2 "Our friends in Uefa seem to believe otherwise. They have their view, we have ours. I disagree with their views but we are pragmatic."

Khaldoon: "This year we will break even. We will go into profitability next year. We have a sustainable project."

United will be back in the Champions League next year, for a young player, on a long contract, it's probably not the largest concern

I thought of this in KFC like twenty five minutes ago and dismissed it because there was no Toure pun. Curse you, Arkon!

Good honigsten piece on Atletico, Barca, Arsenal, Bayern, Juve, Di Natale- http://www.espnfc.com/blog/_/name/mondaymusings/id/1018?cc=5739

Juventus' 3-0 win over Cagliari mean they win the Serie A title, their third straight, with an incredible 102 points. That's a record for any team in any of Europe’s top five leagues.

It's easy to point to the lack of competition in Serie A, couple it with Juve's poor results in Europe and scoff at the achievement. Easy and perhaps unfair. Juve may have steamrollered the rest of the league in terms of results, but not in terms of scorelines. Fourteen of their 33 Serie A wins came in games decided by a single goal, which suggests that this team had to scrap and work more than some realize. As for the European shortcomings? Disappointing as they were it's also obvious Juventus were rarely, if ever, outplayed.

You guys haven't been paying attention to football over the past 10 years or so. If you throw enough money at something, success follows.

Chelsea, City, PSG, even shitty teams like Malaga and Anzhi for a season or two there had a bit of success.

Dark days.
