We sold a lot and saved a lot on wages from contracts running out. Think we let go of about 17 players this window, that's impressive for us. I'd say we only spent about 25-30 of our budget when player sales are factored in.Kaka sale saves money for us, so I can add that as a positive 40
With Isco, Illarra and Carvajal, we are red but not that red.
Arsenal is redder than us then...

We honestly need to sell Young. He's on big wages though. His minutes should be going to Shinji/Welbeck/Januzaj.
We'll never get rid of this cunt.

But see, we had a better defensive record and didn't even have Puyol. lol
Thing is, arguing about Barca vs Madrid defense is like arguing who's shit smells better, both still smell like shit.
As bad as our defense is, I don't hesitate to say yours isn't any better. Both have problems back there, both sign Neymar and Bale :lol
Any idea how long he's still out for?Hope he's back in time to for the Diaby Show (Liverpool)

You even copied my line(where I copied his), except you called Messi LM10, not GOAT. lol
There used to be a section on Arsenals website with injury news, but I can't find it any longer.
Edit: Nevermind I found it:
Damn, we should just let retire or get him whoever fixed RVP. If he could get over his injuries Diaby can too, hopefully.
I honestly thought we should have cut him loose already, but let's be honest. If he comes back this time and gets hurt, it's time to let him go. I know he's good, but we can't pay him all this money for him to just be out for months on end.

West Ham will figure out a way, don't worry - especially now that he'd have other England Greats to play alongside in Carroll, Downing, Nolan and Cole.
Well at least we got a midfielder, even though Woodward being the genius that he is paid over for him. :lol
Still feel a bit bad for Ander. Not as much that we didn't sign him but the fact how the situation went.
I think our squad is quite complete now. I hope we keep Adnan and at least give him some playtime.

Fellaini doesn't feel like the kind of player a team looking to repeat as champs goes out and signs. He's the kind of luggage a desperate manager drags around with him so that he doesn't feel as awkward when the team is losing 2 nil at Stoke and no one is listening to his half-time locker room spiel.

Thank god we signed someone we were always going to over pay for him that's what happens when you have someone clearly not up to the job controlling the purse strings.
Woody out.

hhhhnnnnnnnnnggggg
If Puyol comes back healthy enough to play the big matches, then I think the risk of not signing a CB could pay off. This transfer window was hella crazy and we were going to overspend on some player that was probably not worth the asking price.
Next summer transfer window Ter Stegen+2 new CBs Zubi pls

Just listened to Don Hutchison say that Sunderland have too many foreigners, and that the players can't speak to each other. Heh.
Yeah I know, just pointing out the precedence. Raiola is truly a funny dude.
He left United because Juve offered him more money and more opportunities. I don't think he would be disinclined to return to the PL at any specific point but honestly, he has no reason to leave Juve and won't for some time.

I'm not hoping for anything on Manchester United this year. Not that I'm pissed, but reality is there's 4 teams who have better depth in their squad than Man Utd. at the moment.
Hopefully things pick up next year.

Steady. -_-
It really really isn't.
Raphaël Varane, Daniel Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao, Marcelo and Pepe.
I still see us top 2.
So long as selection improves. Giggs shouldn't be fucking near the pitch. Nor should Young make the bench after that Liverpool game.
Probably the best transfer this season. Way better than that ridiculous bale shit. I watched arsenal against spurs the other day and with özil you might even have the chance to win the bpl. Congrats for getting one of the best offensive midfielders.

Please tell me this was all a bad dream.. today is transfer deadline day right.. RIGHT?
I think that's the amount Ajax was alright with. When Dortmund was interested there was talk about 15 million. Same thing with prince... Fantastic players that could play in every squad... Nice bargains.

The team will be fine and so will Moyes.
I'm more concerned about the back room.

So did Coentrao happen?
He waited too long. Had a good offer from Leverkusen in the region of £17m back in July.
Juve, Bayern, Dortmund, Madrid
But why didn't Dortmund buy him? That's what I want to know

What the fuck, 55 pages since 6:30pm last night. Worth reading through it?
No.
99% of the posts contained the following:
OZIL OMFG
OZIL STILL NOT THERE
OZIIIIIIIILLLL HAHAHA UNITED HAHAHA
WOODWARD OUT
UNITED OUT OF TOP 4
IMPOSTERS FOR HERRERA
Basically this.
4th is failure. I want higher than 4th but I really want us to give the FA cup a good crack but I fear we don't have enough numbers in our squad to handle FA cup and PL and possibly CL if we're still in it.
I can't wait for Ozil to shit on Dortmund and shut Milch up. Putting Dortmund into the Europa league will bring me much joy.
IMO yes. The United shit is comical.
What do you make of Moyes? He's basically nade it public that he wants Evra replaced. The persistant Baines bids and then the desperate last minute Contreao [sp] effort spoke 100 words.
