God, that's heart wrenching. Poor guy.

Neymar's injury is being reported as a rib fracture. How long do those take to heal?

Read a report it's a fractured vertebrae, will be completely out for 3+ weeks.

Fernando Duarte ‏@Fernando_Duarte 34s

Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirms Neymar suffered a broken vertebra and is out of the World Cup.

.

 

[Barzul]

Think Brazil still stand a pretty good chance without him.

 

[Elchele]

that's not how you do business m8

 

[Arnie]

The stage is set for Neymar to rise from the dead and turn the game in the final.

An entire nation behind a single young man.

Nay, he is not a man, he is a god.

 

[Wilbur]

If I was Arsenal I'd much rather spend 30m on Coleman than 10m on Debuchy. Might be because they have a few youngsters lined up, but Coleman is brilliant.

And Neymar... fuck that's shitty luck. Terrible challenge on him. Don't see Brazil winning it without him to be honest, and I'm not a jtb who has said they're gonna lose every match and haven't. With him and Thiago out, that's a big big task. Need dat ref help.

 

[Vivalaraza]

deshi basara Neymar

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

While I like that refs aren't throwing out yellow cards like candy this WC, that game was a good example of how that can go wrong for both teams.

Fernandinho avoiding a yellow was fucking madness.


God I smell so bad. I just smell like stale beer and sweat. Can't wait to get home and lie naked in my bed

Yep. Control the game ref.

Zuniga didn't even get booked and he kneed Neymar in the back lol.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

It was and it riled the Colombians to the point that they were putting in dangerous tackles themselves.

I'd rather we got Coleman too. And I don't think he'll cost 30m. He's not English.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

that's not how you do business m8

about to add 25m on the outgoing tab.

 

[Wilbur]

pls deal with everton

it's HARD

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Mike Keegan ‏@mikekeeganbbc 46s

Vermaelen on the radar + unnamed centre mid. New man happy with attacking options. That's all #mufc

Seems like United might only get 2 more players. Or that's what they're briefing to the press anyways.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

pls deal with everton

it's HARD

Arsene isnt Moyes

 

[Vivalaraza]

That's it for Brazil. Neymar wasn't at his best today or against Chile but he's their talisman. Depend so hugely on him and they all clearly believe he can win it for them.

And more importantly, he was carrying all the pressure.

 

[Wilbur]

Probably all we need right now tbh, CB and CM

Vermaelen being the CB confuses the fuck out of me

 

[L1NETT]

I'd rather we got Coleman too. And I don't think he'll cost 30m. He's not English.

He's on a long term deal, just won tons of awards and had a cracking season

Would have taken a helluva deal to get him out of there, 25m at least

---

Vermalen might be the oddest signing if that goes through

The reverse Silvestre

Why? Is it an Ajax thing

Fred's got this m8.

 

[Arnie]

I had this very discussion with two friends last night.

I fucking firmly, devoutly, unequivocally believe that Coleman can't be bought for less than £30 million.

He was the best right back in the premier league last season. He's one of Everton's best players. He's still got room to grow.

My mates thought he would go for less. I think they're living in cuckoo land. And anyone here who thinks Everton are just going to bend over.

Yep. Even if they beat Germany, I think the final might be a step too far, mentally.

Makes sense. No Hummels makes me sad

Moyes really fucked us by not qualifying for ANY European football.

Also,we go for Strootman in January guaranteed 100%

 

[Barzul]

Would have taken a helluva wage to get him out of there, 25m at least

Oh yeah forgot about that new deal he signed. Wenger was never going to spend a lot on a fullback anyways.

 

[Elchele]

Nerman with a vertebral fracture

 

[KidA Seven]

I don't get the point of Vermaelen. Shouldn't we be looking at someone above his level?

 

[hiroshawn]

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I don't get the point of Vermaelen. Shouldn't we be looking at someone above his level?

but who?

I guess they don't want to sell Hummels

 

[Wilbur]

Think this fullback stuff is a bit mad. Someone on my FB was ranting that we have spent so much on a left back, as if it just doesn't matter in modern football

I don't get the point of Vermaelen. Shouldn't we be looking at someone above his level?

I think so, but I'm choosing to trust LVG for now

 

[Vivalaraza]

I don't get the point of Vermaelen. Shouldn't we be looking at someone above his level?

There's a cult developing amongst United fans who are backing the Vermaelen signing because it means Jones, Evans and Smallings still get to grow and develop whereas signing, for example Hummels, would shatter those dreams.

Jokers.

 

[KidA Seven]

but who?

I guess they don't want to sell Hummels

Garay or Benatia


Too late for that though. Damnit.

Stupid Jokers. that makes no sense to me.

 

[Arnie]

Vermaelen is as tragically average as Debuchy and well below the level of quality expected at a club like United.

LVG's basically after him because he's flemish.

Again, lazy scouting.

Not arsed if United want to replace a figure like Vidic with him, though. Not much worse than replacing Scholes with ClevDOG and Keane with Fellaineh.

 

[Wilbur]

Benatia was the best centre back in Yurop last year. woody pls look better

 

[Clegg]

Seems like United might only get 2 more players. Or that's what they're briefing to the press anyways.

Def wouldn't trust what United brief to the press.

But that number of new signings is what the more informed journos are saying too. They're saying cb and cm too.

Vermaelen tho :/

 

[jtb]

I don't get the Kroos to Madrid transfer. where does Kroos play? at the base of a midfield 3? Isco to the wing? dropped? confused.

edit: also Debuchy is fucking garbage, if we're pissing away 10m on him, we could easily have just handed Sagna a new megacontract

 

[bud]

silva's out, too. they're done.

crumbled under the pressure of an entire nation's hues, rsrsrs, and kkkks.

 

[Wilbur]

I don't get the Kroos to Madrid transfer. where does Kroos play? at the base of a midfield 3? Isco to the wing? dropped? confused.

Isco will take over Casillas in goal /Pulga

Lopez; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos, Di Maria; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

 

[Willkiller]

Debuchy is a better signing than Vermaelen.

Shaw is a big step in the right direction but United are still going to struggle at the back if they are the two to sort the mess out

 

[Scum]

Jokers.

Probably Wilbur innit.

He's off to Barca when FF crashes through the front doors and demand that Zubi signed him up.

he's going to replace Di Maria innit

Lopez; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos, Di Maria; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

That sounds like the lineup an english kid would use in FIFA
only Pep would play with 3 attacking midfielders in the middle

 

[Barzul]

Think this fullback stuff is a bit mad. Someone on my FB was ranting that we have spent so much on a left back, as if it just doesn't matter in modern football

Man United are really the only club in recent memory to have spent that much on one, besides Barca and Alves, I can't think of anyone else spending that much.

 

[Steverulez]

but who?

I guess they don't want to sell Hummels

Miranda at Atletico has a buyout of 25m, not sure if thats £ or € but supposedly Chelsea and United are interested and a bid has been received the player has asked the club to consider...

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Benatia was the best centre back in Yurop last year. woody pls look better

Benatia to city was in the works for a long time.

This no Europe football is hurting us bad at certain things.

Our goal next season has to be to qualify for Europe. Fuck winning a trophy, need to get CL football.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Still think we need a winger in addition. If not Gahl better work some serious magic with out current ones cus they've been fucking shite for 2 seasons straight.

 

[Barzul]

Isco will take over Casillas in goal /Pulga

Lopez; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos, Di Maria; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

Don't forget Falcao in that formation.

 

[Elchele]

Vermaelen is left footed and has good ball control and passing. You guys really can't see it?
