People need to stop blaming Moyes for our failures in the transfer market. He has hardly any control over our transfers.

He mostly handed in a list of players he would like and Woodwards been on it since then and has failed miserably. Woodwards should have moved faster with Thiago deal and he should never have taken Cesc serisously as he would never leave Barca right when he has chance to get the maximum playtime.

If this is the case then he should stop talking about his transfer targets so openly as it only means that he becomes the fall guy when you guys miss out. There's a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes in transfer windows that people never hear about (failed bids, failed negotiations, etc), the only way stuff gets out is if a manager/club confirms it or if it leaks (papers also get lucky from time to time).

Basically, he needs to take the less is more approach in his press conferences. Its a big contrast to when you had red nose in charge. He would keep his cards close to his chest more often than not.

Looks like Capoue won't join us until next week because Toulose want him for their first match of the season.

Ah well, we'll just have to play Paulinho instead.

Which is in a club in a much much much better position to challenge for the UCL spots and actually have Europa league football and whose owner is actually showing signs of aggression and ambition. Which makes it a much attractive proposition as compared to Liverpools.

Which is obvious to everyone except some people wearing Liverpool-red tinted glasses.

So Bernard is officially a Shaktar player, the list of Bale replacements is getting awfully short.

Thankfully that Cesc saga is over with.

Now Woodward needs to move on to players that might actually be likely to leave. Modric will never leave this season, a bid for him would be futile imo

How the hell can you be manager for ten minutes?

In Germany, a manager was fired in a game at half-time once. The club's owner said something about "You're destroying my club, you wanker! Piss off!" (works even better in the original Cologne dialect).

Nice to see Dino Dave taking managerial tips from Brendan and throwing the fat mess in with Adnan for some reserve team conditioning.

Also, I take it Real won last night? What was the score?

Finished 3-1. Fake Ronaldo bagged a brace.

He'd be great but there will be other clubs in for him. It does seem like he wants to come to England, but City need a Scott Sinclair replacement. Whenever we're talking about a £25m player just assume they won't join us.

I still don't see us selling him this summer anyway, I think the Madrid and Suarez links could grow stronger and something will happen there.

If he does, I'm sure we'd go for Lamela/Willian as the replacement. Or Downing.

Rodgers' "a lot of bridges to cross" before Suarez could play for Liverpool again was a bit of slippery cowardice, too.

Saying "he'll never play again" wouldn't help us in trying to get rid of Suarez, would weaken our hand quite a bit.

January…February … March … April … May …June: “Hey, how much is Thiago Silva? There’s no way you’re selling him … okay, bye” … July … August: Hey, we’ll give you 25 million for David Luiz … are you laughing?”


This is fucking priceless. Zubi pls get a grip

Schweinsteiger isn't nominated for the national team. It's the 11th friendly in a row he misses because of "injuries", not being fit and other cheap excuses.

What a mug, the guy is a disgrace. #TeamIlkay

a) he's not going to declare him forever banished

And

b) if that's 'slippery cowardice' then Ferguson is football's Peter Pettigrew, taking Rooney back twice

EDIT: Holy Shit at the reviews, hot damn!

I agree. Gündogan should play. friendlies are the perfect way for the B-team to show themselves.

Gündogan is a better player than Schweinsteiger and I'm dead serious. He's better in like everything, okay, maybe not better in being a pussy, Schweini wins there.

Now you know how we felt when Moyez was our caretaker.
Now, expect 2 signings in the last day. 1 panic buy and 1 that turns out to be great.

Fellaini who would be great and Osman who would be a panic buy.

It will be the other way around most probably.
